My sister just sent me this text.

by Brainfloss in

my sister sent me this text a few minutes ago.

what does she know about my relationship with jehovah?

it was followed up by a bunch of links to jw org problem is dialog is not possible her side is the only one to be heard.

For 30+ years I have reasoned with my brother about the errors of the WTS policies.

Biblical contradictions to the WTS ever changing theology. The whole 'Lying for the Truth'tm thing..aka theocratic warfare.

His reasoning ALWAYS came back to a circular argument which totally deflected what ever issue was being discussed and brought up another point of contention.

Dismantle that point and another is brought up without an acknowledgement of the initial 2 or three points which had been proven false.

You will not reach them without first letting them figure it out on their own first.

You cannot control their decisions, but you can always ask God through prayer and that is never a wasted effort IMsomewhatHO

how is it that where this covid 19 started , in wuhan china, china has only ,reportedly 83,000 for the whole country ?

whereas in the united states of america the figure is just under 400,000 ?.

China's covid numbers started dropping as soon as they expelled western journalist from their country.

Jesus ministry was all about telling people about the hope of the kingdom of the heavens AND helping people in the meantime

by nowwhat? in

so what part of this don't jws understand?

franklin graham son of billy just set up a field hospital in ny central park.

he is giving people practical help now and giving hope by proclaiming look to jesus as their saviour.

When I look closely at the WTS, I do not see any fruits at all. Only the tedious works and hardships that some of my family must endure without the benefit of fruits. Works that are, in my opinion, not blessed by the Lord, that's why there's no fruit.....

why did jehovah create corona virus?

by stan livedeath in

why did jehovah create the strains of corona virus ?.

is it part of the great tribulation that is closer than ever now ?.

what if lots of his people die from it ?.

TTWSYF

What makes you think Jehovah created this?

Couldn't it have been from people making bad health decisions?

And Jehovah allows people to make poor decisions, doesn't he?

Sister Not Sure If She Is 144 000 or Great Crowd

by Awake at last in

i haven’t posted here for years as i have now moved on and am satisfied with the choice i have made to leave watchtower.

however in light of the coronavirus and people in australia and other countries being asked to stay at home i became concerned for a witness sister who lives in melbourne alone who is 88 years old.

today i gave her a call as i don’t trust the local witnesses to care for her.

TTWSYF

It's great that you have even reached out to this lonely elderly woman. Just giving her your time is showing great love. If you trust in God [and his mercy, forgiveness, etc]. then it is totally ok and appropriate to share that hope with her. If not, share what you have and that's good too.

need input: Asked my wife to show me in the bible where Christ became King in 1914

by goingthruthemotions in

so my wife is so diluted and brainwashed.

during this time she is having so much anxiety, mainly because me and my son's want nothing to do with the religion.. so the discussion was, i told her will never go back because they go way beyond what the bible teaches all the time.

i brought up overlapping generation, 607 and then i told her...show me where in the bible that jesus returned invisbly in 1914 and started ruling?

TTWSYF

Maybe you could ask what gives the WTS the authority to interpret the bible?

With some 40k different forms of Christianity, how does one know who has the true knowledge [aside from them saying that they have the authority]?

The WTS says so, and that's it? No other evidence aside from their [ever changing] words

What do you think about The Watchtower

by dydeonwl in

people are not willing to accept the popularity of the watchtower and awake as these magazines belong to jw.

a listing site has declared the watchtower the most popular magazine in the world.. source: https://tingtopten.com/2020/01/top-10-most-popular-magazines-in-the-world/.

in comment section of this link people are abusing again jehovah's witnesses.

TTWSYF

I think the Watchtower has a very searchable history tracing a time line of erroneous false predictions of end of world that begin with it's creation in the mid/late 19th century.

I think that the Watchtower changes it's theology based on who is in charge of it's unique form of faith, growth and influence.

What do you think Dydeonwl?

What drives these doomsday predictions?

by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in

jw
friends

"what drives these doomsday 'prophets'.

many include wildly inaccurate readings of the book of revelation.

often these pandemic prophets end their predictions with sign-offs such as "if you don't have a bible, buy one!.

Jehovah's Witnesses Mistaken Ideas About What The Bible Teaches

by Vanderhoven7 in

let's add to the following list.

jws are mistaken when they believe the bible teaches:.

1. that their leaders somehow represent the faithful and wise servant.

TTWSYF

I would say that no protesting church or organization has the authority to interpret the NT.

It is a catholic book written and compiled and preserved by the catholic church.

The catholic church told the world that it is the word of God. I think that the WTS would have to prove that the catholic church really did lose their authority with their book AND prove that they really did restore what , if anything was lost/corrupted by the catholic church, I have never seen any of this proof.
