  Answer to: Why do JW's come here against WT policy

  by GodRules in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  believe it or not the motives are love, at least in my case.

  i know that sometimes jw's on this board do not show that, but it goes the same with some ex-jw's too.. am i going against wt counsel?

  yes, but i am willing to pay the price to help my fellow man, specially if i see that they blinded by resentment and are going contrary to jehovah's will.. why does the wt give the counsel to stay away from site such as this?

  GOOD NEWS / BAD NEWS

  by You Know in

  1. jw

  good news/bad news.

  first, the good news: the good news, at least as far as the watchtower's multitudinous enemies are concerned, is that the watchtower's days are definitely numbered.

  the bad news, as far as apostates should be concerned, is that the days for this present system, as we know it, are also of equally short duration.

  Freedom of Thought and JW Opposers

  by dunsscot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does freedom of thought really obtain in this forum?

  are those who have left god's organization and jehovah god himself actually now more open-minded and unbiased?

  if those who espouse atheistic thoughts or those who believe every vile utterance spoken against jehovah's people think they are now speaking from some olympian perspective, i beg to differ.

  For all x-JW's: quick question.....

  by Kathy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you remember, i've been inquiring about how to discuss jw issues with my boyfriend's sister.

  it appears she is accepting the watchtower driven interpretations of the bible, but we are still not giving up.

  if you are willing, would you respond, in a nutshell, to the question, "what is the doctrine or belief that the jw's hold that was most instrumental in leading you to abandon this religion?

  LIES in Current Watchtower!

  by Eusebius Hieronymus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after posting on the maximus nourishment for the spirit thread about elaine pagel's "the origin of satan" and "adam, eve, and the serpent," i check my mail and find the watchtower for august 15, and a qfr (whole page) answering the question, "for how long a period of time did job suffer.".

  they say "job's suffering and its resolution may have occurred within a few months, perhaps less than a year.

  " blah, blah, tribulation momentary and light, blah, blah, christ will himself finish your training.

  Secret Posters Hedging Their Bets?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since i found sites like this on the internet i have been constantly amazed at the great number of people who post here and yet do this in secret.. so many people seem to be trapped in a situation where they desperately want to leave the jw religion behind.

  so many people seem to be unable to do so for fear of losing their families, fearing that a da'ing or df'ing decree will separate them from the people that they love.

  some posters are even elders and ministerial servants.. so, can you guys tell me how you manage to lead a life that is so complex?

  Sci-Fi Fans Only: A.I.

  by Maximus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hear tell there are some aficionados out there.. as a young man i secretly loved ray bradbury, isaac asimov, l. sprague decamp, poul anderson, arthur c. clarke and others.

  loved brian aldiss' "super-toys last all summer.".

  when the movie "2001: a space odyssey" premiered, i sneaked into a theater all by myself, and was blown away.

  1952 WT - Official Policy on Anointed

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a must read: the following is taken from the january 15, 1952 watchtower, pages 63 and 64. it is the most cmpassionate, kind, and detailed article i ever found on the topic of how jws know they are anointed.

  the article even encourages jws to consider'partaking of the emblems' at the memorial.

  it is the 'final article' that gave me the 'courage' to openly declare my hope as one of the anointed.
