JWs want to preach right now so very badly, they feel the fish are biting

by BourneIdentity in

they know many people are fearful and feeling vulnerable due to world events.. but something i’ve always considered is how will they be better off by becoming a jw.

they can be a jw, but the world events still are happening causing everyone anxiety.

and no, jws are not immune from this, jws are more anxious and paranoid as ever right now.

So really, what benefit do they get by converting?

They take on a self identity of righteousness before god, in his approval ready to catch that ticket to eternal paradise.

The wicked world to them is soon to come down as promised so subconsciously they are internally happy, the most happiest people on earth.

They accept the fulfillment of prophecy happening all around them in their minds.

In the mean time they get some redemption from their sins (thank you Jesus) and some direction which they have been told they need to stay righteous. (thank you Watchtower Corporation )

They cant wait for Armageddon to occur, the really good stuff will come after that.

Bring it on Jah, your will be done as it is in heaven.

Organized Rioting Across America Due To A Black Man’s Death

by minimus in

jw
friends

cities across america have been pillaged and destroyed these last few days.

a white policeman has been charged with murder of a black man.

protests have been organized across major us cities and horrible riots have occurred.

Finkelstein

Unfortunately deaths by actions of police officers usually go about at a slow pace.

Due to this fact and it was again with this situation, the calls out of racism went out and spiraled out of control, enhanced no doubt by the private video that went online quickly.

Hopefully things will quiet down until the charges and the ex-cop go to court.

I dont think this was a direct case of racism but one of a physical arrest that went haywire incited by bystanders who were directly interfering.

Why is this an APOSTATE site?!?

by LaraK in

i made a big mistake when signing up at this supposed website for jehovah's witnesses.

after reading some things on this site it has become apparent to me that this site is nothing put another pathetic site for apostates: people who betrayed jehovah, left the truth, and are so bitter about their experiene in the truth, and they are angry just like satan because they know they will very soon be dead at jehovah's hand!.

this website should be renamed something more fitting like "satan's playground" or a similar name that would get across the message of your site.. sincerely,.

Because we like the truth rather the lies the WTS/JWS propagate .

J. W's Are Afraid of Old Literature

by IWant2Leave in

i'm reading babylon the great has fallen, god's kingdom rules, published 1963. this was studied years ago when i was about 10-12 years old.

i wanted to just read some of the beliefs from decades ago.

my wife wants to know why i'm reading this book.

Finkelstein

The WTS leaders (GB) dont want the devoted members to see the old WTS literature because they might find out the WTS/JWs leaders (GB) are corrupt apostate sinners.

The various aspects of controlling information is there in the JWS by its top orchestraters for obvious reasons. Strive to control incoming information is an important endeavor with most religoius cults, without it you may lose followers completely.

The leaders of the JWS (GB) are the real ones who dont want present JWS to read any of the organization's old literature.

They just might realize what a tainted fraud they are involved in/with as a commercialized religious publishing house.

It all seems a bit nonsensical now being that the officer(s) involved were fired and the main cop is now charged with murder.

What if the guy who died was a white guy and the officer was a black man ?

Floyd was physically resisting arrest which took three police officers to take him down.

The bystanders that were close by watching the event and voicing their own opinion were causing some interference which might have caused the police to loose focus to what they were doing.

I dont think the main cop was really trying to kill Floyd but he lost awareness how long he had his knee on Floyd's neck causing to him to loose consciousness.

If he is charged with murder that would be an injustice to the cop, involuntary manslaughter yes.

If Floyd's autopsy reveals he was high on drugs which facilitated his death, this is going to make even more a difference in court..

Resurrection, Reconstruction? What is it? It never made sense to me. Your opinion.

by Wasanelder Once in

i never had much faith in whatever resurrection was.

what appealed to me about jw doctrines was the rejection of the "it's a mystery" defense of the indefensible.

when i would ask how going into non existence could be reversed when all the atomic parts of who we are had been scattered for thousands of years, the answer was "jehovah can do anything".

Finkelstein

One way we can tell or verify the resurrection is fictional mythology is that Jesus said to the people at the time that many would not experiences death.

ummmmm ??? It would appear that didn't happen

Quite an acknowledgment to make when its realized its all based upon hearsay.

What about all the other expressed stories that were told by other ancients about their own select gods, were they also all factually true ?

That's what faith and beliefs are about, believing in the irrational and the improbable no matter what is established to a appealing degree..

Humanity has been asking the gods for help with sickness and death for thousands of years, who knows maybe this will continue on for another thousand years. ?

In the mean time I think its better to deal with the probable to what we have within the known and accepted physical world.

Waiting for the gods of ancient times to help us out is not really a good wager to make wholly based upon the inspired imaginations of few men who lived a long time ago.
