  Russell was a fornicator, liar, and deal with spiritism

  Rutherford was a drunkard. Most of the time he was high with Booze, and that was the time when he was coming out with prophetic visions!!!

  Was God over reacting destroying the whole planet in Noah's flood to kill afew evil people...too bad Noah forgot the Unicorns and Dinosaurs according to the Watchtower!

  by Witness 007 in

  yes instead of striking them dead he decided to flood the entire planet killing every living plant and animal {sorry peta members} which only afew years before he created declaring it "good.

  " then he made a "rainbow" as a sign that never again will he destroy every living thing.. wasn't this over the top?.

  too bad they forgot the poor unicorns and dinosuars though!.

  Dinos destroyed 65 million years ago, by a comet that was fallen on Earth. Scientists and geologists found the spot of the impact in the Golf of Mexico. The result of this impact was the end of the reptile Era of the Dynosaurus and the rise of the mammals. Without this impact we would have a different future, perhaps without the Evolution of the mammals we wouldn't had the Human Race..

  Regarding Noah's flood, it is just a copy of an older Mythical Mesopotamian legend, the Gilgamesh Epic. Indeed we had varioius stories of Floods in human history, Greeks, Egyptians and this is a result of the Ice melting 10,500 years ago, that caused lot of floods. The story of Noah it could be true, since there was a flood in the Mesopotamian area, about 7000 years ago, when Etna volcano explode in Italy and created a tsunami, reaching Mesopotamia region. A region that is about 300 feet bellow sea level, so it can be easily flooded by waters.

  A typical JW answer. Watchtower has become a self-righteous Organization on the footsteps of Scribes and Pharisees in Jesus days.

  On a complete different aproach Jesus was associating with prostitutes, tax collectors, and generally all those that the Pharisees consider them to be Am-Harets as they call them, meaning the people of the dust. Jesus gave emphasys to those people instead of the self righteous religious leaders.

  WT is acting like a modern day Pharisee and ignores the fact that Jesus came for our sins. No matter what, no one can be saved, that is why Jesus said that even a bad thought is a sin. That is why through His Grace we are saved, and not by our works.

  WT has fallen into a serious intepretation mistake. In the Greek Scriptures we find a different meaning from the WT's explanation. Apostle Paul stated clear: Μ? συναναμοιγν?εστε...the literal translation of this is: not mixing, and it is refering for the Holy Communion, when all Christians are becoming One, are united, through Jesus Blood and Flesh. This was the only time when a serious sinner was not allowed to partake the Holy Communion, and this was how the Early Apostolic Church understood the matter.

  The Chruch is a place of spiritual healing, a hospital of the Soul, and not a place of pannishment like WT does.

  New Generation understanding tied to Freddie Franz

  by 5thGeneration in

  2. beliefs

  also don't know if this has been mentioned previously.. our speaker yesterday, gb member br.

  pierce, tied the overlap theory directly to fred franz's lifetime.. did anyone else catch this?.

  evidently (and i'm paraphrasing), anyone anointed after franz's death in 1992 is not of the 'generation'.. 5th.

  The Truth (as I seen it) according to Jehovah's Witnesses by Gary Busselman

  god is the creator, but since he only created michael,.

  and michael created everything else, ("all other things") .

  that would seem to make michael the real creator, .

  [LONG] Making a plan to leave... I have no friends :'(

  by confliction in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the title pretty much explains it all... i don't want to go too much into my story (for paranoid fear of identification), but i have been raised in the "truth", and got baptized at a young age- too young to truly understand what i was getting into.

  i still live with my parents, and as such don't want to make a move just yet, as it would destroy virtually everything i have left.

  as of now though, i see myself leaning towards agnosticism.. here's my short sob story.

  Your story it is very common amongst JW's. There are hundreds of thousands stories like yours. Once you find out the truth about the 'truth', then you cannot stay and pretend.

  You can see my previous posts as (justhuman)and you will see that there are people with worst situation like yours. When I left I had a family and children. 10 years have gone and I managed to make a new life, new friends. I was 33 when I left and 39 when I was disfellowshiped.

  I enjoy my freedom, and I made my choices regarding religion. So you are young, you are not commited with anyone, you have no children. It is good idea to move into another town, become innactive, make new friends and plan your life according to your will.

  I don't suggest you to be disfellowshiped. Like that you will lose all your family bonds. Even if you move to a new town try to avoid to join a JW's congregation. You will save your self from the 'elders' that will call and ask why you don't go to the meetings

  Until now I'm not impressed with the world cup games. But hope New Zeland will make it to the next round. I like suprises. France is out, England, Italy, Spain they are close to miss next round. The only team that's doing well is Brazil

  Generation 'New Light' is Actually Working

  by zoiks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as ridiculous as it seems to me and most of you, the infamous 'generation' update has every jw that i know in a tizzy.

  they're all worked up about how 'exciting' it all is.

  i just received a letter from my mom (she only communicates through letters now), and she brought it up - how they carefully explained it at the convention, and how it shows that we are so close to the end.. unbelievable.

  I don't think is working. For the rank and file it doesn't matter anymore what the GB says. They have learn to accept blindly whatever comes out from Brooklyn...if the GB changes the 'light' next month still JW's they will be happy with the new explanation...

  If the WT was finnancial advisor they would have gone down the drain. Not a single prophecy, not a future event they haven't be able to figure out.

  has anyone looked into Buddhism?

  by poor places in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've started reading a book called the modern buddhist's bible and i'm liking a lot of things about the religion so far.

  of course i don't know much yet, but there seem to be some very good points to buddhism.

  one thing i love is the emphasis on "killing" the ego (or whatever you might want to call what buddhists try to do with their egos!).

  DC 2010 Release - The Origin of Life and its many misquotes

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  looking up all the references is a lot of work - one of the reasons nobody normally verifies these, but trust the writers.

  as you will see, the writers are banking on this, but it is not a good thing to trust the wtbts writers.

  please find the bibliography worked out for quotes 38-51, covering the heading "what about human evolution".. interesting is that many quotes are from the [u]preface[/u] of books, where the authors honestly explain the difficulties and assumptions related to evolutionary science.. [b]what about human evolution?[/b].
