My family will be picking up the pieces.
Most are J.W.s. A few of us arent. We will all finally be reunited. That is,
if no more of them die, by refusing a blood transfusion.

i feel a little guilty
by jerome intoday i saw a jw in the middle of the city handing out awake!s.. and i sid nothing to her i know that if i said anything to her that i would have been there all day or at least before she thought that i was fron the devil and started to shun me.. have you ever felt guilty about not telling a jw that they should research what they believe that it may not be what it seems.. for passing up a chance to probally save a life in a way.. .
i did this also because.. believe it or not.. i cant believe i am going to say this.. i am not 100% sure that watchtower is not gods organisation.. [i feel this obgligation to listen to them so i cant shut them out all together].
to you this may seem very insane after spending time here .

Lurk:
I was in no way trying to place unimportance on the poster, I was trying to place importance on the assistance that everyone was giving him, thats why I made note that even if he didnt need assistance, someone else might have gained assistance from it.
Jerome: Im sorry if it came across the wrong way.
Please forgive. -

When I first caught up on reading this thread today, I was a little confused and a little pissed off. First, because of the possibility of us trying to help this person and have him turn out to be a troll. Second, because of the possibility of him actually needing help and being ripped on, and third, because Im not even sure which is the case. After thinking about it, it actually doesnt even matter if this is a genuine poster or not. He brought up some points that a person in that type of situation would have needed help with. Even if he wasnt helped, someone else reading, in that type of situation may have have been helped.
Anyway, Just trying to see a positive side. -

Jerome:
There are many organizations that are good and help people.
Does the W.T.S help people in the community that are hungry or poor or homeless or sick?
Do they even help people in their own congregation that are hungry or poor or homeless or sick?
Have you honestly seen a case where a kingdom hall has used their funding and offered assistance to pay for someones heat bill or give someone food or clothing or shelter. The W.T.S. would only part with their money if it was to benefit themselves. Example (building kingdom halls, funding the missionary work, assembly gatherings etc.)
This may seem all nice and sweet but it only results in the growth and expansion of the W.T.S. They are not concerned with anyone but themselves and they do not care who gets hurt or dies in the process. The W.T.S says the preaching work is to save people from armageddon and if you do not continue the work, you too will be killed. They are just concerned with their own growth. The W.T.S has been threatening people and its members with "armageddon" for its entire existance.
Its normal to feel guilty, I still do. I feel guilty for not telling my family all of the information that I know about the W.T.S. I also feel guilty for what I do tell them, because I guess the truth hurts sometimes.Its your life and your decision.
God bless. -

Micheal the ArcAngel/Jesus the man
by plmkrzy ini understand that a lot believe that micheal and jesus are one in the same some believe that jehovah and jesus are one in the same some believe that one is the son of god yadda yadda yadda.. would some of you please address or post your reasons for believing that micheal the arc angel was not gods first creation and why he couldn't be the one sent to us to be born as a man and become our savyor?
why would he not have another name fitting his role as a man on earth?
he obviously wouldn't be living on earth as a child growing up as an angel.

plmkrzy:
Thank you for bringing this up!
Over the years, the W.T.S. has slowly distanced itself from jesus.
Even in old songbooks they used to sing praise to Jesus.
There are very few songs in their current songbook mentioning Jesus.
They have lowered his status to that of an angel. Almost like they are trying to demote him.
I mentioned how Jesus has more power then Michael. I cant imagine why Michael being Jesus as a "man" on earth, would have more power than Jesus being Michael as an "angel" in heaven.Did that make sense?
Anyway, I was just wondering,
Question:
If J.W.s believe that Jesus is just an angel
and they only worship the God named "Jehovah",
are they Christian? -

NWT translation
by apostate man ini have been doing a lot of research lately on jws and the new world translation.
through history, i found that king james, in 1604, ordered a commitee to accurately translate the original scriptures, from hebrew and greek, into the english language.
this took 47 people 7 years to do and thus came up with the kj bible.

In the N.W.T I noticed differences in the wording of key scriptures which then changed the understanding. obviously changed to be more supportive of J.W. doctrines. One that pops into my mind, aside from John 1 is Matthew 25:46 which speaks of hell and punishment. Other bibles read "eternal punishment" NWT reads "eternal cutting off". There were times when I had 4 bibles in front of me to compare different scriptures. My husband must have thought I was nuts. It was very upsetting, I couldnt believe they would actually alter the bible.
Scary that someone can alter somthing, not sign their name and call it a translation. -

Dakota,
I used to say the same thing.
Im not saying that I believe the trinity but there are more scriptures that support the trinity doctrine than the J.W. doctrine that claims Jesus is Michael.

bluesapphire:
The questionaire was cute.
I dont remember ever having an orgasm while breastfeeding. I tried breastfeeding for one month but my son was such a piggy, he was always wanting to be fed. My breasts were so sore, I wouldnt let my husband near me. I couldnt wait for him to go on the bottle. My son that is. Thank God for playtex.
I do admire those who are successful at it though, it is better for the baby. Guess I just never got the hang of it. No pun intended.
