Why would anyone choose to support Jehovah’s Witnesses?
by Half banana inwhat is the point of supporting a belief which began as a bronze age ox-headed idol called yahweh... in a religion designed for illiterate peasants now appropriated by a money-driven cult with a one hundred and forty six year unbroken record of total failure of its bible based predictions?.

The slow trickle has become a steady stream!
by freddo inin the last few weeks it seems that instead of one or two new posters a week we seem to be getting several every day.
many seem to be long time jw's who are troubled by the path of the organisation.

50% curved fruit - The GB will say it's a sign of the times.
It's a sign that the GB are being seen as insane bozos by those they seek to control. Death penalty for the GB please!
Oh boy words like that will really motivate "lurkers". Geesh -

i've been serving as elder for about 4 years now in a south florida congregation.

Perhaps your wife is correct and since they have the "general truth" you cant just discount the whole faith? -

Sorry "doubter". Wont get an "attaboy" from me. I feel the reasons you mentioned, "hellfire, death condition and immortal soul" still have the "ring of truth". Therefore the whole faith cannot be discounted due to changes, whether good or bad. However this site is overran with doubters, atheists and anti-jw's who seek a certain freedom but its an illusion from my perspective. Your doubts will be coddled here. -

Makemeanunbeliever, I don't resent you. You are just wrong.
No matter what problems "false religions" have, the WTBTS has no "large measure of truth" when compare to other Xian sects.

Many probably know (and I'm sure resent it) that I still believe JW's carry a large measure of truth. I feel I've defended it eloquently here. However one of the reasons I stopped going a couple years ago is because I felt we lack in the "abuse" area.
