  Top 10 reasons why JWs don't have the truth - please contribute

  by oldlightnewshite in

  i thought it would be an interesting exercise to ask everybody on here what their 'top 10 reasons why jws don't have the truth' actually were.

  maybe we can see some correlating views/patterns/ideas that may help us de-programme the newbies that come on this site.

  if eventually most people have an outstanding gripe/concern it'll help everybody understand the ex-jw mindset a little better.

  Jesus has been ruling for 96 years now. What's he been doing all this time?

  The entire book of Revelation is symbolic except for the number 144,000- which is literal. Seriously?

  There is no Scripural precedent for recording and reporting time spent preaching.

  Since I've been alive the "generation" of Matthew 24 went from being the generation of 1914 to the wicked. Then, no, it's not the wicked, it's the anointed. Then, the generation is not one, but two overlapping generations of the anointed. Give me a break.

  The words "faithful and discreet slave" appear more in one paragraph of the WT than the entire Bible.

  ...Weird Ass Lights in the Sky...

  good evening jwn!!...

  as most of you know i live in a forest,in the mountains..at night there is very little light pollution... so the sky is one big theatre screen... i see shooting stars,northern lights,satellites,planes on a destination..it`s all very beautiful... tonight was different... .

  tonight there was something in the sky that defied anything i`ve ever seen... it had multiple aircraft lights but not like regular airplane lights..it wasn`t a helicopter... it could go straight up or down... move in one direction then head in another..it could do all kinds of weird stuff... sometimes it just hovered..then start doing all these weird maneuvers... regular aircraft is going somewhere,it`s headed in a direction..not this thing... i watched a regular airplane pass it... .

  Did You Aspire To Be An Elder Or Did You Want A Relative or Friend To Be One?

  if you were a male growing up in the congregation, it was expected that you would "reach out" for a position in the hall.

  some of us did just that and others didn't want any "privileges"!.

  i knew some people, especially "sisters", that really wanted their relative or good friend to be appointed so they might "change things".

  I aspired to be a MS. Achieved it. Thereafter, never aspired to be an elder.

  last week was finals week at the college.

  as i was studying for one of my tests i noticed this one guy (early 20s, muscular, four day beard, average college student looking) getting on the elevator next to where i was sitting.

  then i noticed he had a rather unusual tattoo.

  "There's really no good reason why we should turn our time in late"

  another wonderful part this week at the meeting.

  and this is what the brother said.. he related examples, based on the om book, as to how jehovah kept records.

  funny part is, they all applied to population, the amount of people.. is there any part of the bible that talks about how jehovah kept a log of hours on some occasion?

  My wife relayed that the brother doing the part said there are about 30 people in the cong that have to be called for their report every month LOL!

  Yes, there is NO Biblical precedent for reporting time spent preaching. Very weak arguments from the Society indeed.

  I'll bet there will be a drama at the assembly showing brothers reporting time in the first century, though!

  The world's largest magazine was the 100th issue of Maxim. It was constructed near Vegas out of vinyl mesh and could be seen from outer space using Google Earth. It had Eva Longoria on the cover. So there!
