  Whenever I ask my uber elder brother about any elderly brothers and sisters from his cong [or former congs] he ALWAYS tells me that they are not doing well. Health, financial and mental problems always an issue for most rank and file elderly JWs.

  My reply is that HE will be among them as he ages and he will realize that HE is going to die. No getting around that one. He will not see the big A, although I have no idea when the big A is coming, I have millions of years of history to look back on. The same history that proves the WTS as a false prophet promoting it's own end.

  No fruits, only works [going door to door restoring the name Jehovah] that produce no fruits what so ever.

  Sorry, not trying to kill this thread, it's just that damn! WTF?

  I was told by an elder many years ago that I should invest in the 401k plan on my first job that had one. I said, "Isn't the end so near that we won't be needing a retirement savings?" He said, "You need to save for retirement just in case the paradise is way off in the distant future ." He's still in but he's too old to have elder duties anymore

  
  

  Sounds like this old elder guy realized that the booklet "Millions of people living now will never die" had a magazine cover picture of dead people. Everyone on that mag cover died.

  Follow Wasanelder's advice

  Current Jehovah's Witnesses pay close attention! This will be your fate if you don't accept the reality that the future they promise you is a man made control scam. Get out!

  NWT 1984 vs NWT 2013

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i recently had a discussion with a jw concerning a change in wording of a scripture - in fact this was my all time favourite scripture, namely, micah 6:8.. my view is that the wtbts have deliberately changed the wording and meaning of the said scripture.

  the other person is of the opinion that that is not the case.

  micah 6:8.

  How to deal with struggling with the doctrines

  by Dval in

  2. beliefs

  this is my first post.

  i'm still a jw but am inactive.

  im struggling with the fact that i agree with some of the doctrines (i,e, the stance on the trinity, there is no hell) but i disagree with a lot of things (i,e, men can't have beards, women have to wear skirts).

  Welcome. Lots of emotion will come with your journey. You'll be mad about how you were lied to, but you'll be grateful for the chance to research without the WTS colored glasses.

  It was helpful to me to acknowledge that the fruits of the WTS were not there.

  Restoring Gods name and going door to door are not fruits, they're works. And it's works that bear no fruit. That fact helped me unplug

  So a religion based on a book by another religion?

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so does anyone else find it odd that jws base their whole faith on the bible?.

  the bible was never in the plan for christianity.

  the apostles spread the good news as they were instructed to by christ jesus .

  The bible was never in the plan for Christianity. The apostles spread the good news as they were instructed to by Christ Jesus

  18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of allnations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

  Jesus never wrote or instructed anyone to write these things down. No instruction or reference to writing new scriptures. The NT scriptures came after Christianity was spread orally.The bible is/was a Catholic book which they wrote. It's odd to me that a faith would base itself on a fruit of the Catholic Church while it calls that same Church corrupted by Satan.

  Special talk: "who is Jesus Christ?!

  apparently he no longer is our savior and the "way and the truth and the life" or our mediator between god and man .

  the governing body took over that role.

  Millions living now will/may never die

  Jesus is the angel Michael

  Jesus inspected all religions and picked the JWs as the true religion

  Jesus returned....invisible to all but the GB

  Lying for 'The Truth" tm

  The true religion is based on a book [the bible] given to the world by Satan's organization 'The Catholic Church'

  Therefor, go to all nations and make disciples baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

  BECAUSE they know that all "worldly" folk will think they are absolutely crazy if they said how the really feel,

  The Catholic Church gets a lot of credit in this book by a protestant. Title-How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization. Below is a description from the back page of the book. Research this and see for yourself what is true.

  Ask someone today where Western Civilization originated, and he or she might say Greece or Rome. But what is the ultimate source of Western Civilization? Bestselling author and professor Thomas E. Woods, Jr. provides the long neglected answer: the Catholic Church. In the new paperback edition of his critically-acclaimed book, How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, Woods goes far beyond the familiar tale of monks copying manuscripts and preserving the wisdom of classical antiquity. Gifts such as modern science, free-market economics, art, music, and the idea of human rights come from the Catholic Church, explains Woods. In How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, you’ll learn:
  

  
  
  • Why modern science was born in the Catholic Church
    
  • How Catholic priests developed the idea of free-market economics five hundred years before Adam Smith
    
  • How the Catholic Church invented the university
    
  • Why what you know about the Galileo affair is wrong
    
  • How Western law grew out of Church canon law
    
  • How the Church humanized the West by insisting on the sacredness of all human life
    

  
  No institution has done more to shape Western civilization than the two-thousand-year-old Catholic Church—and in ways that many of us have forgotten or never known. How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization is essential reading for recovering this lost truth.

  I always find it quite fascinating to hear JWs [as well as any other christian] bashing the Catholic Church.

  Where do we get the idea that the bible is the word of God? Answer; Catholic Church

  Who gave the world the word of God? Answer ; Catholic Church

  Who gave the world [the whole world] hospitals, universities, orphanages, mental health institutions, food banks, shelters [homeless, battered or other]? Answer ; Catholic Church

  And the reward for such noble and honorable fruits ? Jws...hahahhaaha

  they go door to door restoring Gods name. How can anyone keep a strait face while trying to compare?

  Just saying, cause it's true
