  Communications during Armageddon

  by bruh in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this past wt study on the things that marks the end of the world---made me think in terms of armageddon and what the faithful slave would do if they couldnt communicate with thousands of congregations since the wicked/satans world runs the the modes/network of communications.

  i may not have all the facts as to the infastructure of the worlds communications but one things for sure---with the wicked destroyed at armageddon how does the society oh organization plan to communicate with the rank and file???

  wicked gone means that possibly the internet will not be working, post office will be down, mobile carriers/towers will be out of commission maybe, tv stations will be out of commission.

  How can anyone really be a 100% confident atheist given the paranormal and occult?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't believe the bible is inerrant nor do i hold a 'christian worldview' any longer as my profile details say (which i am unable to update on my profile), but i just can't see how anyone can be absolutely 100% confident there is nothing out there we can call a 'god' or spirit creature in the face of endless first-hand accounts of paranormal and occult experiences that felt as 'real' to the person who experienced them as anything else in their lives.. there are untold reports of ghosts, faith-healing, ouija boards, seances, spirit mediums, stigmata, mystical born-again experiences, speaking in tongues, and then there's hypnotism, ufo sightings, poltergeists, remote viewing, etc, etc.

  ok, so its mostly only anecdotal evidence, but the amount of it is so overwhelming it is practically corroborating evidence.

  in the face of all this, how can anyone categorically assert that there is nothing out there that is beyond ourselves that we might call a 'god' or spirit creature?

  Could you live with not talking to your JW family for the rest of your life?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of greatest obstacles to leaving the organization is the destruction of the family unit.

  as lady-lee wrote about oompa, i thought of this topic, the society says "this is their way to get wrong doing people to return to the loving arms of jehovah after they repent of their sins" .

  i know of men and women who are in good standings and hate their fellow spiritual jw family, i am willing to bet, wager that "jw-hatred" exceeds the worlds hatred, something about a self-assured group versus the "not so self assured' creates one plucked up structure.

  my daughter--now 41--has spoken just one sentence to me ( 5 years ago ) in the last 25 years. my younger son--now 34--the same. these have children of their own--ive never met.

  my older son was DF'd 3 years ago--we are now developing a renewed relationship--thanks to Facebook. he is now going through the same estrangement process with his own children---thanks to a crazy ex wife propped up by this religion. a case of history repeating itself.

  unless your in the same position as me in life--you cant imagine what i think of the watchtower society.

  Is the Watchtower Society Really God's Organization?

  by wannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is the watchtower society really god's organization?.

  the governing body of the watchtower society, makes the claim that they are god's, 'spirit directed organization', god's 'prophet, or mouthpiece'.

  one would suppose that an organization that claims to know all the truths of the bible, would know that the coming prophet like moses, who was appointed over jehovah's house in the days of the israelite nation, would also know, that the coming prophet like moses, would be the one appointed over god's house when he arrived on the scene, when the due time arrived for the new covenant to go into force.

  jehovah.

  i particularly hated hearing the females talking about "jehovah" as if he were their favourite family relative living in their spare bedroom.

  also--being English ( living in the UK )---hearing the words " jehovah GARD". f' chrissakes.
