Is the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses really an inferior form of Christianity?

by nicolaou in

seems to be quite a few posters recently pulling down the beliefs of jw's as not biblical or truly christian.

maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong, i really don't care.. in some important ways though mainstream christians often behave better than jehovah's witnesses; most don't practice shunning or impose lethal medical prohibitions on their members.

many are far more tolerant of the lgbt community and a few even make the awkward attempt to square the fact of evolution with their faith.. please note that i'm saying some, not all.. so i suppose it's fair to say that differing forms of christianity can be better or worse for individuals, families and the wider community.

Your Jehovah’s Witness Is Showing

by David_Jay in

since i just signed up and posted a few times without doing this yet, here is my story..

i think that i became a jehovahs witness because of my immaturity.

i had some quirky personality traits, and i joined finding that i fit in because, as i said to myself: these people get me.

D_J,

Welcome to the forum.

How many people did you convert to be a JW by hitting them over the head with "The Truth?"

How many people will you convince to be an atheist by hitting them over the head with facts? Probably both nil.

I do not feel compelled to convert anyone anymore. The best thing about hitting your head against the wall, is how good it feels when you quit.

The sooner one wakes up the better. Some never will. It is easier when you are younger to leave, and have less invested in their lies. For me it took until I was 45.

out at the mall with mrs. otwo, she sees a shirt on the rack that was marked down from $25 to just $4.

she holds it up and says, "should i buy this as a workout shirt?".

i tell her "no, because as soon as you figure out what it means, you won't wear it anymore.

Why I like the Mormons and why they are so much nicer then the JWs.

by new boy in

i never really knew any until recently.

as a witness we all thought they were weird.

but the two faiths are a lot alike, except the mormons are really so much nicer than the jws!.

JRK

They are both still cults to be avoided.

A cracking good JC! This is how it's done, folks.

by Island Man in

in this jc the couple accused of apostasy, lay down some inconvenient and incontestable truths about the organization's teachings that leave the elders speechless - as far as them mustering any efforts to refute them.

oh and by the way, do you remember what geoffrey jackson said at the australian royal commission when he was asked about an inactive jw being called to account if the elders stopped by and find him celebrating the holiday?

don't worry if you've forgotten because the couple mentions it to the elders, you know, seeing as it's the very same reason why they're being accused of apostasy, thus proving geoffrey jackson's statements to be false!.
