put yourself in the mind of an ignorant early human.

he can speak, he can understand his surroundings and can even chart the stars in the night sky.. .

one other thing this man can understand is injustice: when bad things happen to people who didnt do anything to deserve them.. .

Why is it so hard for Ex-JWs to make that "final step" and give up Christianity?
by sabastious in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i'm not sure if it's just denial on a lot of people's part, but the reason the jws doctrine is so wacky and controlling is because they are among the few religions that really try to follow the bible!.

the bible is the culprit here in actuality, but even after someone has "wizened up" to the misguided teachings of jehovah's witnesses they still hold the bible as inspired word of god.. why don't you believe that the governing body was chosen as the faithful and discreet slave in 1918?

because the only real evidence to that fact is that they say so.

The Best Way to Stop a Jehovah's Witness In Their Tracks

i have thought long and hard about ways to silence a jw who is inquiring about your defection of their religion.. they will look at you as a fool.

someone without faith and trusting in "man alone.

" a jw is programmed to never blame "jehovah" for the works of any man, so if anyone leaves the "truth" because of something the governing body did or is doing, they look at you with pity because you have fallen into an "easily avoidable" trap, all they think you have to do is pray and rely on your creator alone and everything will turn out ok.. so, here is a transcript of something i am working on, it's a conversation with a jw about "your decision.":.

Did the Governing Body pull a "Moses" and not get reprimanded?
by sabastious in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
as most of us know, the story of why moses did not get to enter the promise land is as follows:.

the iraelites were b*itching again about not having enough water so moses took them to a seemingly dry place and cracked a large rock like thing and water started to come out; he took 100% credit for the miracle.

because of this deceit moses was severely punished.
