  Watchtower 6/28/2015 on 1st Christian Courage, Have the Courageous Watchtower Leaders Ever Condemned Radical Islam?

  by skepticSam in

  i read blondie's great summary of today's watchtower lesson and thought about all the christians who died from various deaths for preaching the word and because they really believed what they preached the watchtower asked something of this sort, "if you were a christian in the early centuries, could you boldly stand up to all the exquisite tortures hurled at the first century christians because they were not afraid to take a stand for christ or be cowards to evil!".

  are you aware of any condemnation made by the watchtower against radical islam or any actions showing their courage and being no part of this world?

  they attack patient christian religions but what about others, where is their courage?.

  We Lost Our Preaching MOJO, how do we get it back?

  does anyone have any theories why our territory that's be reduced six or seven times over the last twenty years is not covered anymore?

  we use to cover our area in less than six months and now nobody really keeps track of how the preaching work by territory is going.

  is the advent of the mobile-literature machine why we don't see a zealous preaching spirit?

  To those who worked with the Public and had Co-workers, would your job have been easier without the Cult mind?

  i was thinking about the decades i worked with a team of people, around 40 give and take a few in this enterprise.

  the watchtower made thing harder with all the guilt along with that push to convert anyone at any point of the day.

  i thought life would have been so much easier if i was not part of this cult.

  Why Ravi Zacharias Never Became A Jehovah's Witness (Pre 1975 End Times Preaching). Famous Christian Apologist.

  i was shocked to learn dr. zacharias studied with the jws and why he never became a jw, it was the jws incompetence that lead to dr. zacharias leading a different path in life.

  he's one of the best speakers and logicians in my opinion, he's got two phds and works with extraordinary men and women willing to speak at any university or mormon temple because the word he uses is based off the word.

  how come the governing body are afraid to attend q/as at yale, cambridge, oxford, ucla, harvard, rutgers ect..??

  WHAT JESUS REALLY MEANT Vs the GOVERNING BODY'S VERSION OF THE BIBLE.

  i found these contrasts incredible, anyone who claims that following the watchtower's bizarre aloof teachings is a "insurance policy" needs to have their heads examined.

  these people were once in line with the watchtower's leaders until they got tossed out of the organization during the great purging of anointed jws in 2012.. the more i am around the worldly people, the more i see how insane jws are and the lack of love they have.

  their selfish, always wanting to mooch off each other, steal from their brothers and sisters, evade taxes, cheat and hate playing by the rules.

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses Christian or Cult, Do JWs Offer Solutions for Local and Global Problems of life?

  by skepticSam in

  the awake on "hope for the homelessness" was one of the worse illustrations how the cult has no love for anyone that can't provide donations to further this spiritual ponzi scheme!

  the premise of this awake made no sense, i've read many books and took classes on social issues affecting mankind, the awake does not help fix the problem.

  what did this magazine offer those who are suffering the humiliation of living out of their cars or "tent city" or under a bridge?

  Interesting Article on Bart Erhman's Blog about Papias beliefs about a Paradise Earth!

  by skepticSam in

  i doubt the early wt thought papias had much to say when the subject came to the transformation of the earth in to a paradise.

  there's some strange things he claims he heard by close associates with jc, bart erhman has up on his paid blog more information about this topic.

  the basics are that papias claimed jesus said "the earth will sprout so much food" that those gigantic cluster of grapes brought in by joshua and caleb are nothing compared to what's in store for followers of jc.
