  'worldly' events vs JW events... the fear, and the reality

  by undercover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i went to what a jw would call a 'worldly' wedding a couple of weeks ago.. having been raised a jw, i had never been to a 'worldly' wedding until i was in my late 20s or early 30s.

  the horror stories of 'worldly' people in general kept me from associating with 'worldly' people, except as necessary through work, etc.

  as i became more willing to associate with workmates and other 'worldly' people, i started to realize the fear that had been instilled in me was mostly false.

  Three Types of People and Their Destinies!

  by Kalos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  [christiansincluding jwstried very hard with their evangelism among the hindus, but did not accomplish much.

  because the hindus are in possession of something better.

  the actual name of hindus is sanatana dharma (eternal duty) which is defined as taking delight in the welfare of all beings (bhagavat gita 12:4, 20) hindus (which literally means those who live by the sides of indus river) is a superficial and geographical name given to them later.

  "Whoopsie doodles, brothers and sisters! We kinda messed up by a hundred years. Jesus actually started ruling...wait for it....NOW. Please consider the last hundred years as a kind of true worshipper dress rehearsal. We really mean it now, promise."

  Theists, why does God allow suffering..

  by The Quiet One in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ..specifically, the suffering of animals.

  you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.

  i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

  The height of delusion on display at last Tuesdays meeting...

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i literally just sat there with my mouth open.

  sometimes the delusional mind of jws takes steroids.. it was during the draw close to jehovah study where they praise the mosaic law and how perfectly wonderful it was.

  you should have seen the almost giddy attitude the conductor had and the comments from the audience.

  I remember back when I was a full on zealot and my sister and I decided that it would be absolutely brilliant to read a few chapters of the bible together every day so we would take turns reading out loud. When we got to stuff like this, like where the passages seem to revel in slaughter, it was very uncomfortable and sometimes we would look at one another and just go 'holy crap that's kinda brutal'. We soldiered on (pardon the pun) but it stuck in my head that something was very wrong here - I just couldn't admit it to myself just yet.

  the flood, mammoths, elphants, and food.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my question is since it looks as though mammoths were alive after the flood and we know elephants are then how much food was needed to feed just these four animals for the time they were on the ark.

  also was the ark, 500 feet long, big enough to hold the amount of food needed for just these 4 animals.. .

  The entire flood myth falls apart on so many levels that it leaves me extremely embarrassed that I believed it was real for most of my adult life.

  What factfinder said, and also because in the study version they don't have to be as politically correct as they do for the unwashed masses.
