How to Irritate JWs: The Catholic Way

by Hernandez in

what's the greatest advantage in becoming a roman catholic after leaving the jehovah's witnesses some 17 years ago?

why, it's the way it totally irritates people and really pushes their buttons...that is, if you are one of the unfortunate jehovah's witnesses who happens across my door during field service.

i have developed several techniques to make it very frustrating to the unwary witness who hopes to make headway at my house.

There's a show called 'The Journey Home' on EWTN where catholics tell their tale of conversion.

There was a former JW who said that if you want to stump an JW at your door, simple ask them

"Why do you go door to door with a Catholic book?"

What is the biggest hypocrisy you have seen as a witness?

by HereIgo in

i have far too many to name, but ill start with obscene music, gambling and cussing like a sailor.

all the while preaching to "worldly people" about their impending death at armageddon.

thoughts?.

TTWSYF

I was never a JW, but my uber elder brother still regrets ever uttering the words to me that I still can't believe... even to this day

"Lying for the Truth" later changed to Theocratic Warfare.

talk about a hypocrisy

I think there's a lot of potential for humor when catholics and jws [educated in their faith] debate. Know your faith and do battle.

If both know their faiths, there will be fireworks.

Admittedly, though, JWs will lose their debates because truthful history is not on their side...sorry

The End is near!..for my great, great,great grandfather...

by TTWSYF in

so it occurred to me how crazy the wts is and has been.. if i am 25 years old and my parents had me when they were 25, my grandparents were 25 when they had my parents, and their parents were 25 and so on and we were witnesses, what would we think?.

my point?.

my great, great, great grandparents were around 25 years old when the judge was promoting the end of times in the 1870s.

TTWSYF

"when the Judge was promoting the end of times in the 1870s."

You really owe it to yourself to get a more accurate grasp of JW history; lest you sound silly.

HAHA, Too late for me now,

"The Judge" was about 1 year old in 1870. But we get your point...............Doc

Feeling like the scarecrow a little...

Since Christ's death over 2,000 years ago (!) how many successive generations of believers have been told the end is imminent? How do they sustain belief, given John implored Christ in his vision less than 100 years after Christ's death to "Come quickly, Lord Jesus."

I think that the end was usually thought of as a personal end as opposed to an extinction level event. We all are born to die within a limited amount of time, but the world? Who could possible know?

Thanks for the corrections though... I'm still learning

My great, great, great grandparents were around 25 years old when the Judge was promoting the end of times in the 1870s. Every generation since has been told by the WTS that the end was eminent. Thank God that they did not sell their homes and belongings waiting on the WTS interpretation of the bible.

They were all taught that they were not going to die.

What do we tell our kids about the future?

Are Gods true worshippers on Earth today? If they are not JWs then who are they?

by Formerbrother in

is there gods true worshipers on earth today as jesus said there would be?

if they are not jws then who are they?.

who else comes close to being gods true followers today?.

TTWSYF

I think you have to check the facts. Jehovahs Witnesses are one out of 30k+ Christian sects started by a man who thought he knew better. One church started by Jesus and over 30k started by mankind. Why would you or anyone else think that the JWs are the true way.

What fruits do they produce? The church started by Jesus gave the whole world the schools, hospitals, orphanages, foodbanks, shelters, civil rights for ALL people of the world.

What has the WTS given the world? What possible fruits can they claim as their own?

I have not found any fruits what so ever from the WTS. Just lies, scripture twisting and a history of false prophesy.

I'm very sorry Former Brother, but you should look into real history, and not the revisionist history of the WTS

RIP dad, who introduced me to this fairytail of everlastin life and paradise :(

by Frezia in

jw
friends

less than 5 hours ago my great dad fell asleep the last time :( still in a bit of a shock and sad that i will not see him again...i promised myself that once he is here no more, i will somehow make my move out of this organisation who kept us all captive believing in a fantasy of an everlasting life :( i am in a tricky situation, since raised as jw, still in, married to an active jw, and pretty sure that all in my social and family circle will turn their backs on me if i finally say goodbye to a fairytail ;(.

When you were fully in, would you lie about how loving your congregation was?

by TTWSYF in

not long ago my elder brother got very sick.

he was hospitalized for a few weeks and his jw wife and children were at his side often.

also, his non jw family was also bedside with him, siblings and parents.. his recollection involves asking us "don't you remember all the jws that came visiting me when i was sick?".

Neither I nor any other [non JW] family members saw even 1 JW come visiting. Is this the norm?

I mean, drop off a meatloaf, or ask if you could help in any capacity at all. But, no,,,nothing My brother has a revisionist recollection of history.

Much like the Watchtower's..although, I didn't tell him that.. lol

Farewell

by WITNESS-FOR-WATCHTOWER-REFORM in

due to unforeseen circumstances, i need to say goodbye.

proverbs 14:16 nlt.

i have every faith that the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will bring about needed change very soon given the continuous pressure they face.

Have you thought about starting your own religion? That's what people do when they think they know better.

That's what the Judge did.

30,000 Christian religions started by men who knew better

1 started by the Christ
