  They say that since it has pagan origins, people shouldn't have anything to do with something that has associations with any other god but the Almighty God.

  What was it that "clicked" w/ you that this wasn't the "true religion"?

  for me, it was not being able to prove that people were going to be resurrected to earth... i'm still not sure of the answer, but for some reason that just started this huge, fast snowball of different things that i couldn't prove... .

  this lightbulb just went off in my head... .

  hi.

  does anyone know if there is a single place that list all the current beliefs and teachings of the jw's.

  i like to have something i can compare history with to have something to fall back on to show people changes in the belief that they are being taught.

  Don't Fight It - We'll Never Be Rid Of Jehovahs Witnesses

  by shamus100 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's just so apperant that these people are so out of touch with reality that the whole world could just not give a crap.. the level of stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

  these people just love to feel this incredible persecution, a feeling like they've been so 'hard done by', yet they are completely false.

  nearly every religion has had persecution of some sort - jw's, despite they're bizarre and psychotic behavior are completely harmless.

  ummm, yeah except for all the people (including babies) who died because of the whole blood thing and no organ transplants... I don't think they count as "harmless" at all... That would suck if 1 of my friends or family members died because they couldn't have a translant and then a week later find out that you can... Harmless my a**...

  JW'S Biggest Hypocrites in Society Today

  by whatistruth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of its members say one thing in their comments at the meetings, preach one thing in service, and pray yet another to their god.

  but on the whole most jw's get drunk, have sex or "fool around" before marriage, get involved in some type of drugs (weed), lie.

  and these practices are done on a regular basis by most jw's at one time or another without ever coming forward.. goes to show motive for being a jw is nothing more than fear.

  I don't think 1/2 the people believe this at all. But, out of fear, they will defend it to there death!!!
