What response would you give to this JW illustration ?
by troubled mind in
1. watchtower
2. bible
my jw in laws send us these types of emails every once in a while .

never is there any real personal correspondence from them and it irritates me.

i have sent emails back before critiquing the logic of some of their emails.. i will be sending a response to this latest one ,and i would appreciate some ideas .. i know many of you on this forum are so excellant with your words i would enjoy your input .. the first thing that came to my mind after i read the illustration was "i am so glad i am no longer on the endless tread mill of witness logic that has you running forever from scary imaginary spirit beings ".

Is it ok to malign another's faith?
by bluecanary in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i've seen this come up on multiple threads.

rather than derail them all, i'd like to talk about it here.. jws seem to feel that it is a form of persecution for anyone to question, doubt or speak negatively of their beliefs or organization.

yet, they are taught to do this to other religions.

by metatron in
1. jw
2. friends
the society's latest book, "bearing thorough witness about god's kingdom" contains two serious omissions.. first, on page 105, it offers an outright lie about the organization and the bible.

"they do not force the scriptures to fit their views.

impartial observers have recognized this fact.

2. beliefs
i am 24 years old i was disfellowshipped at 21 and reinstated last year january then committed a sin and disfellowshipped again five months later.. i don't think i realized what i got into.

i tried hard to fend for myself and get back in, the pressure got to me and i fell out again.

but since i understood what it entailed i fought hard to stay in.

Confessed my Doubts to my Wife
by cantleave in
1. jw
2. experiences
well - i today i had the opportunity to tell my wife i no longer believe in the things that i have spent my life immersed in and that i didn't want my life run by 9 geriatrics in brooklyn.. her reaction was understandable her first questions was "what have you been reading"?.

i didn't mention this site but told her i was shocked by something i heard regarding the wts's ngo status with the un, dissapointed by the new light on the generation and disturbed by the flip flopping on blood fractions.

i explained how these things were at best hypocritical and at worst have meant some people have lost their lives unnecessarily because of the societies previous position.
