Do Jehovah's Witnesses even know their own teachings...

by Tuesday in

jw
friends

i've had a rash of people commenting on my videos lately that seem to not even understand their own teachings.

it leads me to question if jehovah's witnesses can even explain their own beliefs.

for example if i ask a question about the 1914 doctrine specifically about the biblical backing behind 607 bce being the year for the destruction of jerusalem, 9 times out of 10 i'm going to get some sort of answer that involves the "prophecy" in matthew 24 and how it somehow has been fufilled since 1914.. apart from the fact i honestly don't think i can find a jehovah's witness who will actually understand the question at hand enough to answer the points therein, i'm to the point where i don't know if jehovah's witnesses even understand their own teachings.

Haven’t you heard the saying: “When everyone is thinking alike no one is thinking at all!” Well, it aptly applies to the Jehovah’s Witnesses, just go to one of their Witch Tower meetings, I don’t consider that a discussion, they all use the same platitudes and catch phrases no matter what kingdom hall you may be at, and further more the guy conducting the so called study is trained to make sure they all stay to what is in the paragraph, incidentally remember you have to use their study materials not even different bibles. What a Farce.

"I think a full, free talk is frequently of great use; we want nothing secret nor
underhanded, and I for one want no association with things that cannot
be talked about and will not bear investigation."
---Mormon President John Taylor, Journal of Discourses, vol. 20, p. 264.

What Must an Angel Do To Repent?

by cameo-d in

has wt published literature implying that angels might repent and be forgiven?.

we all know that god does not accept a simple "i'm sorry.".

first of all, god requires two witnesses; then, an investigation asking all your friends and neighbors if the gossip is true.

Leprechaun

By means of Christ "All Those Who Have Died" including Father Adam and Mother Eve will live again.

The Angels who sinned early on had a chance to rectify their course and many did, but those who lingered until after the flood became hardened in their ways. Angels are not humans, and there for Jehovah deals with them differently. It was not heavenly Angels that were considered and asked to reign with our blessed savor Jesus and take on the Divine nature, God in his wisdom seen an opportunity to test humans during these difficult times that will never happen again.

i am not sure why i have started posting here.

a very good under valued friend recommended that i should come here.

i have left the truth and have made my life completely religion free.. in the few short weeks i have looked at this again i have gone a tiny bit insane.

When you can get p[ast the point where the need is there to refer to the Jehovah's Witness's as the truth, then you will be on the road to true healing.

First off stop calling it the truth, if you realy do think its the truth from God then by all means get up there and set in the front row. When I stopped calling it the "truth" I knew then I was on the road to healing.

Being Brought Up As A Jehovah's Witness---Was It A "BAD" Upbringing?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i think that my upbringing made me the person that i am today---for good and bad.

even though i was raised a witness, i don't think that my upbringing was bad.. your thoughts, please..

Leprechaun

Yes of course, being raised a Witness was unhealthy. Being fed a steady diet that almost everything you do in life is offensive to Jehovah god, like that is not distructive to ones mental health, hello hellohello anyone home. Witness's teach that most e verything in life that is fun has some negative connotation to it, I wish I would not have been raised like that, but most of all I wish I would not have raised my own kids like that. Those GB SOB’s, and my dad god rest his soul had his head in the sand.

What is the mission of those on this board?

by The Berean in

jw
friends

venting, closure, confession, social networking, advocating a new direction, building a case to leave the borg, kicking a dead horse, assisting the abused, warning the public, cursing god and religion, justifying actions, filling time, belonging to something, education, identifying mental disorders, condemning hypocracy, highlighting errors of the past, making fun of other people, self pity, hope for recovery???.

as a newby, i can't tell ....

Leprechaun

To help other Witness's see that it is not as bad they think to take their heads out of the GB ass

Something Big Is Happening To the WT Mag.

by metatron in

jw
friends

i looked over the aug. 1 public watchtower and noticed the same changes i observed previously.. plainly put, it appears that they have simply run out of things to say and so are just filling up printing space!.

they devote 4 full pages to a bible reading schedule that could have been easily condensed into a couple sentences.

they have the same large graphics and typeset that eats up printing area.

Leprechaun

The WBTS magazines are very cheeply made, take a look at the Herald magazine put out by the Bible Students, much nicer, and they don't have to own their own printing press's, besides they don't find the need to control ever facet of your life, to me that is the mark or true religion or at the very lest one that I like.

JW Defenders- Is WTS Right to Insist You Stay Away From these Websites?

by OnTheWayOut in

i read these threads and there are a few that bend over backwards to say why wts is correct on this issue or that issue.. they act like typical jw's that refuse to acknowledge points that may show that wts is not following the scriptures or that wts goes beyond the scriptures in a way that is not supported by others.. the point could be the blood issue or shunning or whether 1799 or 1914 was the start (or finish?

) of the last days or whether there is a faithful and discreet slave class or not.

i don't want to harp on each point.

Leprechaun

What! No religion has any rights to any part of a persons life, and any religioin that says it does, is badly mistaken. What a bunch of Bloody Wankers and demigods the GB are to even for one moment assume, that we will not read what we want! Yet all along they want people to drop what they have been taught all their lives in favor of the JW's. Give me a break.

So any input or attachments would be appreciated. I have a nephew who needs treatment but I think his elder father with give him a self- righteous hassle.
