  Ten reasons Jehovah’s Witnesses have the true religion (plus a bonus one)

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thinking back when i was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why i believed jws are the true religion.

  1. they show love among themselves by not going to war.

  not killing your fellow believers in any circumstances, including war, would seem to be a very basic requirement for true christianity.

  Me too. I agree with the 10 items.

  These are the things which ""rope people in"" to the Borg.

  1974 Watchtower Prophecies verses Dad’s Prophecies. Who was correct? An old guy reflects on calamity howling.

  calamity howling is always in style with some folks, every year.

  1974 was 50 years ago this year!

  i was fresh out of high school bright eyed and earnest about all things jw and watchtower.

  Rumour 144,000 literal number teaching to be abandoned at Annual Meeting

  by slimboyfat in

  say it ain’t so!

  .

  in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?

  TonusOH:

  They always exclaim ""putting up a hard fight for the 'truth' ""

  Something like that.

  This whole thing if it comes to fruition is nothing more than moving ""the goalposts".

  I always felt like a piss-on being in the Borg in comparison to pioneers,, ministerial servants eldubs or elders wives or whoever......circuit overseers & their wives whoever.....

  Maybe its because of my practical approach to life. Like that of having a job with benefits,, mortgage & I pay my own utilities & bills.

  Unlike some others who have had all these things done for them. Then left high & dry later in life when they are no longer of use & left for the dogs.

  LHG if I can smash your 'like' button 100x I would.

  Think of it for a second. There are rumblings of even more reduced meetings.

  They can sell the assembly halls & have the congregations share one local KH.

  Have one meeting per week per congregation. That way if there are several congregations in an area they can have a meeting everyday if there are several congregations in that area.

  Its just a business.

  Half hearted JWs compared to past generations

  by JohnR1975 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is it just me or has there been a massive change in jws of late?.

  when i grew up in the cult they had a real sense of urgency and would do an hour minimum, these days it’s not even ten mins before coffee break.. same goes for everything else, it’s half hearted .
