  JW Claims About Who Will Be Saved

  by AlanF in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we on this forum understand that the watchtower society will not hesitate to lie to the public in order to put its best foot forward.

  many of us know that the society's media website, http://www.jw-media.org contains quite a bit of misleading information, such as on the shunning issue.

  under the link to "their beliefs" -> "frequently asked questions" ( http://www.jw-media.org/beliefs/beliefsfaq.htm ) they ask the question, "do you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved?

  Hi Alan,

  This part was hauntinly familiar:

  :We look at the outward appearance; God looks at the heart. He sees accurately and judges mercifully. He has committed judgment into Jesus’ hands, not ours.

  They must all know this by rote as this is just what the JWs I studied with told me. We had endless converstaions aside from their little book/lesson plan (thanks to all thos e questions I always asked). Oh yes, we are all to be judged by God/Jesus only. I wish I'd have had all those quotes then to show them I know they believe otherwise.

  Great essay showing the "real" answer to that question. Thanks for posting it.

  Regards,
  Julie

  Ah yes, the never-ending Modelling scam has been brought to light. It truly is shameful how some "agencies" *wink* really fleece so many who never stood a chance to begin with. I mean there are some extremely unattractive people out there who, for some reason or other, believe otherwise. These scam agencies take 'em for everything they've got (and then some).

  I became a bit familiar with the industry probably before some of you all were born. Since then I rarely mention it, persoanlly I hated it but it was just "me", don't like to be googled at--whatever. I have helped others in panic moments, like in ladies rooms etc., something possibly gone awry at an event that might prove embarrassing or something, I've offered help, "here, I did some modelling and there's this little trick..."---this one girl a few years younger than me, definitely NOT model stuff says "Oh me too! I used to be a model!" Believe me, it wasn't easy to keep a straight face or not offer sympathies for her having been ripped off. Even though this girl obviously had not been with a "real agency" it is things like this that make me disagree with:

  :Real agencies don't need a gazillion scouts because people come to them. Lots of people. Too many to count.

  While certainly no reputable agency needs a "gazillion scouts", I never ceased to be amazed at how many unattractive people "come to them" and how many gorgeous people wouldn't even consider it (low self-esteem re: their looks being a main problem). One of life's little ironies I guess....

  Funny to hear Mr. JW-model showed up ready for a shoot at Harvard the next day. LOL Good one!

  Hungry4Life--Good for you going back to school!! Sad to hear of that girl, typical victim, protecting victimizer, taking all blame--some things never, ever change.

  1. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah might or might not be resurrected.

  No they will forever remain worm-shit, just like everyone else.

  2. Charles Russell was part of the faithful and discreet slave of Matt 24:45.

  Charles Russell had a great business idea and used this whole "God-thing" to reach his goal.

  3. Samuel gave king Agag a pat on the back and a pardon for his errors.

  Who knows? Who cares?

  4. Noah had no trouble feeding the lions in the ark as they were happy with a crispy salad.

  No, he fed them children of unbelievers he had brought along for the trip.

  5. At Armageddon the ground will open up a swallow naughty children and disabled people. Any left over will cooked alive like a roast ox by fire from the heavens.

  If by Armageddon you mean the end of the world, it *could* be because of nuclear weapons which would result in a "cooked alive" sort of death for many.

  6. When Adam first met Eve he thought that God had made a mistake and put his spare rib in the wrong place.

  When Adam first met Eve he wasn't thinking about his rib.

  7. J.f.Rutherford was known as a kind and gentle man and like Moses he didn't like to mention his humility.

  He was a greedy ego-maniac, like many "religious leaders" throughout time.

  8. Scientist are only noteworthy when they agree with us.

  Scientists are noteworthy because of their credentials and accomplishments.

  Please fill in the blank space with the correct word or phrase.

  8. Only the anointed remnant born before at anytime will also be nothing but dust in the end, like everyone else.

  9. Jehovah's witnesses are __not_allowed to think their own thoughts.

  10. Jehovah's reveals truth to the governing body by means of _the Spirit of Bullshit
  .
  11. The average IQ of a Jehovah's witness is immaterial, it is their emotional IQ that causes their blight.

  12.________________.( Not sure how to answer this one )

  13_Dancing with your wife is fornication.

  14. The society has always been willing to cover-up its mistakes.

  The rest are too doctrinal for my tastes, considering it's all nonsense anyway. It was fun though.....

  LOL@Sleepy!! Good one.

  Patio--I share your view 100% on the "real view" thing by reading written words. It takes more thought to write words than to speak them so they actually get more consideration, resulting in a more "true" representation of the Actual Person and their view.

  Ok Englishman, I'll let you have the rugby field but in this corner of the world the Red Wings rule the ice and the US will rule the ice in Salt Lake.

  To all you NHL fans out there, put your money on the Wings, Sir Stanley is coming home.....

  A story of JW hate and avarice, and a question

  by ghenrymt in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  please click here to read my story: http://www.geocities.com/ghenrymt/george.story.htm.. the story is not about how i became a witness, my experiences as a jw, how i left, and where i am now spiritually.

  i will probably be inclined to post all that another time.

  this story is about how i got into a lot of trouble, a deep pit financially and legally, by being a sincere jw and trusting my ex-wife (who is supposed to be a sincere jw also) farther than i can spit a rat.. i'm wondering if anyone knows of an attorney, preferably an ex-jw or someone who is familiar with jws and family law issues, who would be willing to provide me some general guidance.

  Hi George,

  I didn't reply because I have no help to give you dear. Perhaps that is the case with anyone else who read your post. I mean the story you tell is interesting but I cannot be of assistance. I know no attorney's that are familiar with JW-dom. Sorry. I do wish you the best of luck with your situation though.

  Hi Seeker,

  Your points on propaganda are well made. I tried to make similar points thought not the focus of my points to Kent. You did a better job. Thought this especially clever *and* witty (Julie holding up "10" score-card from Uncorrupted Judges Booth):

  :I was talking about America, the DoublePlus Good government of the world.

  LOL No wonder I love you so....

  Focus, drop me an e-mail, would you please?
