  2. experiences

  hey friends.

  this will be my first serious post in a while.

  just wanna know if anyone on the board has ever been in the same predicament as i'm in right now based on recent events with my d/fed jw wife and my jw in-laws.. at any way i'm not trying to sound selfish nor care about myself in any way, but my experiences of me,my daughter and my d/fed wife living under my in-laws doesnt sit well with me anymore.

  Is there a breaking point for JW?

  by BonaFide in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in 1989, when the wt said, "the preaching work will be completed before the end of this century", i believed it.

  then when they changed it in the bound volume, i was a little nervous, but i didnt say anything.. but then when i was a missionary, and i personally went to the branch office about a pedophile, and they told me to leave it in jehovah's hands, and that jehovah will erase the girl's mind and to stay out of it, that really bothered me.

  i couldnt sleep.

  Are We Not Made In The Image of God?

  by XxJazzxX in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a typical question i often hear when jws debate on christ's divinity(phillipians 2:5-7).

  is is me or when they say this it sounds as if they put us(imperfect, human beings) in the same catagory with the messiah(jesus)?

  Misquotes from the "Reasoning Book" re: Cross (scans included)

  by AlphaOmega in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the "reasoning book" claims that the 1874 edition of the imperial bible dictionary verifies the idea that jesus was crucified on a stake.

  however, when you check the reference with the imperial bible dictionary, you see that it acutally is not as clear cut as that.. as usual, the infamous "..." of the watchtower has been used to edit out any opposing ideas in the source that they cite.. i know that this may have been mentioned before, but the scans of the imperial bible dictionary that are floating around the internet are from later editions, hence the page numbers are not those cited in the reasoning book.. .

  Consequences of being a JW

  by Regretful_J in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been thinking about what its like to be born and raised as a jw and the mistakes that parents make as an almost direct result of this cult.

  for one thing, the children are not allowed to think freely, and if they say or do one little thing their parents disapprove of, they are chastised and basically bullied into abandoning that thought or action.

  another thing is that no matter what you do, and no matter how good your reputation is among friends, teachers, administrators, etc if you don't want to go to meetings, and don't believe in this faith, they do what they can to make you feel lower then dirt for this and will often resort to verbal abuse, and sometimes violence to force you to believe in them and conform.

  Is the preaching work one of Jesus' warnings of "great signs and wonders"?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there have been recent comments on the forum about jws saying that because they preach in all the inhabited earth, they are god's chosen organization.. when i was first fading and heard this comment, i was momentarily taken back.

  what if i'm wrong?

  who else is doing the preaching work?
