  I'm going to end my "bible" study

  by KristiKay in

  2. friends

  i posted a while back, i've been studying with a nice jehovas witness lady for probably about 6 months.

  after a few weeks i googled a few things (earthquakes, how long we've been on earth, ect.

  ) i realised she was very misinformed.

  Actually, take nugget's suggestion. Don't even let her in, keep her at the door, be respectful, nice all that diplomatic stuff, and stand your ground, it is YOUR life not hers. Return the books to her too. Don't give her reasons why you're stopping, just say it's your decision and thank you for enlightening me about your religion.

  I know people here would love to turn this into an effort to try to show this dub something to make her question her stand, but it's not worth the effort. The mind-control will kick into overdrive if she hears your doubts/concerns.

  No. They bombed Hawaii. I have/had family living during the bombing. I say the emperor got what he asked for, you mess with a bull you're going to get the horns.

  Unity and Jehovah's Witnesses

  by stuckinamovement in

  faithful people will tell you that unity worldwide is one of the identifying marks of the true religion.

  jehovahs witnesses will especially point to the unity of belief no matter where you go as proof that they are gods organization.

  as i sat listening to the service meeting part last night about our unified organization it hit me........... the largest group of unified people is within an army.

  JWs are not in unity, as mentioned above. WTS wants conformity and uniformity, that's their version of unity. They don't care what you think, what you have to say or who you are. You're just a number to them.

  does anyone have any idea why birds are literally dropping dead from the sky in four or five states.

  and even in sweden,hundreds of birds are dead.

  and fish are turning up dead too,not only in the states,but also brazil and new zealand.. they're trying to say new year's eve fireworks frightened the birds to death.

  According to Naiditch, HAARP is an attractive target for conspiracy theorists because "its purpose seems deeply mysterious to the scientifically uninformed".

  Wikipedia quote above.

  Well, we all know that the WTS and most of the uneducated JW's fall in this category. GB wants to keep the dubs dumbed down as much as possible to play off the conspiracies out there.

  Tell her the truth. It's the least you can do and it might be a bit of fresh air for her to hear truth instead of all the WTS lies and propaganda she's being fed.

  "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in."- Michael Corleone in Godfather III. Sorta reminds me of my life.

  most of you recognize that line from the godfather iii, which wasn't the greatest film in my opinion, but that line was classic.

  it perfectly depicts my life as it stands now.

  i'm at a crossroads in life, and my heart is being tugged in different directions.

  claustrophobic.

  that's the simplest way for me to express how i feel in the wt org.

  like many here, my eyes were slowly opened over the years as i did more earnest research, trying to reconcile some long standing spiritual quandaries.

  Judas, why???

  by dreamgolfer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why do jw's continually "trash" judas for betraying jesus?.

  isn't it due to jesus death that we all have the opportunity for salvation?

  i am not suggesting we treat judas as a hero, but he was fortold to betray, jesus knew it was going to happen and went along with it.. if judas did not betray, what if jesus was not put to death, where would we all be now?.

  The gnostic Gospel of Judas is very interesting. Puts things in better perspective for me.
