  Who exactly is an apostate?

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you are a non-believing relative or spouse who is hostile to their doctrine are you an apostate?

  if you studied with them and rang the logical fallacy buzzer for chits and giggles to see how they would react does this make you an apostate?.

  if you are a born in who never got baptised does this make you an apostate?.

  Anybody who leaves a different religion to become a JW is an apostate. Making more apostates is the WTBTS policy!

  hey people, .

  i am soon going into a kh for the first time and i could use some advice around etiquette etc.

  i know next to nothing besides the fundamental beliefs of jws, i personally dont believe in any religion, and that stance isnt ever going to change, however i don't want to come across as rude or disrespectful.

  A lot of men fighting and dying made that come about. Which, of course, the JWs had no part of.

  Except for that notorious apostate, Eisenhower!

  I just had a thought about the new KH design

  by JeffT in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been trying to figure out the purpose of the new (bland, commercial style) building that the gb is pushing.

  it is not a design that attracts attention, nor does it offer a lot in future resale value.

  it will be more difficult to build than the wood residential style buildings, meaning they can't use their cheap unskilled labor force for a lot of the work.

  Or it could be that building departments and insurance companies are starting to demand commercial style construction. For example, "places of public assembly" are held to higher earthquake resistance standards in California, in most places they must have fire sprinklers, meet accessibility standards, meet energy and water conservation codes, etc. What the city building department wants, they will get.

  Well, on the bright side it's so much faster and far less expensive than going to a bona fide theological seminary. It saves so much time to just read what the Watchtower says instead of having to slog through that big, boring Bible!

  2. friends

  i'm looking for some clever comebacks.

  i really don't care that i am an apostate, but would like to deliver a quick comeback or two to perhaps make the other person think.

  any suggestions most welcome.

  My JW ex-wife tried to turn me into an apostate, but I refused to join the Watchtower Society.

  What if WT will claim, that Jehovah has pulled a "Jonah and Nineveh" on them?

  by prologos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wt seems to be helpless in really dealing with the failed prophecies, pending dates, overlapping groups--.. what if they declare victory, blame jehovah, in that he allowed the nations to come to their senses and not further escalate the use of weaponry, "destroying [life on] the earth"?

  in a second fulfillment of .

  the "repentant ninevites, disappointed jonah" bible story?

  ... second fulfillment of the "repentant Ninevites, disappointed Jonah" bible Story?

  To consider themselves as latter-day Jonahs would be amusingly appropriate. The story of Jonah is about an unfaithful prophet who does his own will instead of obeying the Lord. A prophet who brings terror and danger to the entire ship's company until the pagan seamen cast him overboard. A prophet who had to be forced by divine intervention to do his job, and even then only did it reluctantly and cynically. A prophet who delighted in the prospect of mass annihilation, and was disappointed by true repentance. A prophet who is the model for the Governing Body!
