  As A Jehovah's Witness Did You Never Accept Or Believe Something They Taught?

  by minimus in

  i never believed that in 1975 or by the end of the 20th century, we would see the great tribulation occur.

  some witnesses would listen to fred franz' talks where he clearly told his audience that 1975 was the end of 6000 years and the beginning of the jubilee....or something like that.. was there something that you never truly accepted that you were supposed to believe as a jehovah's witness?.

  did you notice that some jw's men and women tried to bring in new people just to marry them ?

  i saw this with my brother about the year 2001. he met this girl off some chat line.

  he liked her, but it was one big problem; she wasn't a jw.

  well, i finally got a chance to discuss religion with a jw at the door.

  i have been looking forward to it for a long time, now i know what questions to ask that will cause them to eat their reasoning book in panic.

  but no, there was no long in depth bible discussion.

  Odd Thomas - “Of Whom Shall I Be in Dread?” - WT 7/15/12

  by 00DAD in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  no, this isn't about the dean koontz character odd thomas, but those books are a good read!

  this is about another, different fictional character, albeit not quite so engaging as the one imagined by the very talented mr. koontz.

  now i know mr. ot is described as being just "an unbaptized publisher", but in my decades of experience as a jw any and all "unbaptized publishers" here in sunny socal would be vetted enough to know better than to take a job at a school run by priests.

  Did you have to try another church or religion on your way to unbelief?

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  back in 1992 when i was slowly extricating my way out of the wacthtower, there was no internet, smart phones or any other type of quick data download available.

  i had basically 3 choices to obtain viewpoints from ex-jw's.. #1 - go to go to the library and look for books critical of the society.

  #2 - go to a christian book store to look for the same.. #3 - order item like these from addresses or phone numbers listed in the back of these publications.. and while doing any of these things, you were always looking over your shoulder to see if any "brothers" were around.. the problem i experienced is that virtually all of these books, while giving you good reason to doubt the watchtower, always pointed to "christendom" as the way you needed to go.
