well, i did everything i could to let my dad know that god is not with this organization, there can only be one truth, and the truth can not change.

the teachings can not change.

i gave him writtings breaking it down slowly and logically.

How can I counter the isolation scripture?

by Strider Arekksu in

well, i talked to some elders and basically said the organization was calling the prophets and god liars, because they were disgarding the importance and relavance of some of the prophecies.

i told them that there is no true organization on the planet right now.

i used luke 21: 8, i used many scriptures and actually i qouted chapters, not just verses where it was obvious they were wrong, i counter verses, they didn't get them.

What the heck is wrong with my freind?

well, i already posted about the jws clearly having thier doctrine just crap.

but i told my friend and it seems like it's just not getting through.

like he will say he'll look into it, but he really won't or i'll give him a 12 page paper that is 3/4th scripture countering nay destroying a jw doctrine out of the reasoning book and he won't do anything... just blank out.

Another question!

i'm sorry for asking so many, but i guess it's hard for me to not ponder about things like these.

ok the people at the top of the wts are crooks in it for the money right?

they use an organization that preaches about a god that has justice for those who are weak at heart.

Anyone feel like this?

i remember i was not always very good at social settings, i was good at analyzing them but bad at participating them, i am always in my head so its hard for me to get influenced by people if i don't get a good feel for them, so it's hard to brainwash me i guess.

when i was in this organization, i knew the tactis they were using in the paragraphs and the way they were writing were ways to trap people mentally, but i just shrugged it if off, i just made excuses, and literally thought, i'll deal with this pothole latter, i got brought in through my grandma, so i never was literally convinced that it was right.

i always remembered when the question "will witnesses be the only ones saved" came up, they gave shady answers, which meant yes, but they didn't want to say it, and knew it didn't make sense and wasn't scriptual.

Can some one help me?

hi, after my grandma past who was in this religion, i was an idiot, and i stayed in the religion as i thought it was the only way to see her again.

my dad stressed because he was inactive but busy supporting our family.she was faithful to the religion, becase like saul she thought she was doing the right thing.. being "black" it was hard for us to support the house we bought in the suburban area.

the dead beat jobs that i could get after high school were not acceptable to me, and i would surely lose my patience with people espeically if i hated the job and was getting paid near minimum wage.

I feel... lost...

(sorry for mispellings, i am emotionally frustrated right now) *sigh* i recently have slowly been, not interested in the 'orginazational' routine of the jws.

i have done personal research on the world, some secrets the government hide from the naive and all that good stuff.

i'm pretty confident something bad is going to happen like the jw doctrine states.

Thinking about joining a youth group...

by Strider Arekksu in

jw
friends

yeah... as the title states i was thinking of going into a youth group for bible studying.

since the jw organization kind of stopped that and moved it to like a 30 minute session at the school and other meeting.

they said it was for us to study personally or with our families.
