  Problems in paradise

  by gringojj in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know there are a ton of problems with the idea of paradise.

  i was just thinking about how much sense it doesnt make.

  for example how is it supposed to work as far as housing arrangements?

  I guess some of the theological students on here would be able to help with that. I recently read this brilliant article, which is worth a look re women's place in 1st century Christianity.

  Bellan-Boyer, Lisa, ‘Conspicuous in Their Absence: Women in Early Christianity’, Cross Currents, v53 i1, Spring 2003, p48(17).

  In this article, Bellan-Boyer brilliantly reconstructs women’s place in early Christianity, and blames male leaders for sacrificing women’s religious rights in order to construct a unified church.

  The Dynamics of online Apostaworld: the History

  i've been really interested in this myself for a while as the online apostacommunity has grown large over the last couple of years.. as most of you probably realize, the internet has been instrumental for apostates to hook up and make a virtual fist at the watchtower, the turbulent history the online apostacommunity might interest you alot.

  it interests me.. as i'm not someone that was here from the beginning, i'd really like to hear the stories of the oldtimers, the first apostates to hook up through the net, the stories from the first boards and sites that were apostate and the evolution of the apostacommunity after that.

  i'm asking people that have been involved since at least 2002 or before to share their stories and views and things that stirred their emotions.

  just created a site www.jwfacts.com

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just put together a site that tries to logically show the witnesses are not the true religion.

  just wondering how to get the information out to people that most need it.

  also any ideas on how to get the site found by search engines.

  Great site! I would add links to freeminds, jwd, jwo etc because if someone stumbles onto your site, they might stay on the net all night reading 'new light'. I would also include references to books like Ray Franz, M James Penton etc, for the same reason. And get rid of loaded wording like 'the correct interpretation'. Overall though, excellent work!

  what proves jw's aren't true?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am inactive and it took years of doubt to convince myself the jw's arent true.

  i started doubting because i hated the idea that jehovah would kill 6 billion non-jw's.

  the thing now that is the most important proof for me is that until 1954 jw's worshipped jesus and it is still in the watchtower charter, even though you now get disfellowshipped for worshipping jesus.

  Drop hints to your significant other at the convention

  by ithinkisee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  consider this your apostate service meeting schedule for the district convention:.

  there are a few talks that you can maybe make some off-handed comments to your significant other that may seem harmless at the time, but you can use to your advantage down the road as you break the news to them about what you have been learning about the "truth".

  i did some of these myself and plan to draw on them when i break the news to my wife.
