  People have a right to preserve their culture race and identity!!!

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one of the biggest things that bothered me as a jehovahs witness was the whole 'we are the world' bullcrap that they used to teach, and that culture, color, and race didnt matter.

  as far as i'm concerned thats a bunch of bs.

  people have a right to preserve who they, where they came from, and they have a right to be represented.

  One of the biggest things that bothered me as a Jehovahs Witness was the whole 'We are the world' Bullcrap that they used to teach, and that culture, color, and race didnt matter. As far as I'm concerned thats a bunch of BS. People have a right to preserve who they, where they came from, and they have a right to be represented. All of this color blind BS is why so many Ex Jehovahs Witness had a problem dealing with people out in the world, after they have left a this harmful cult. Not saying the people of other colors and cultures shouldnt get along, because we should. However, I am not going along with the whole we are one crap the media has been forcing down out throats for the last 40 years. Thats a bunch of BS. Growing up as a J-dub, we were always taught that prejudice was wrong, and i do agree. If a person is effected by the prejuidce of someone else, it is wrong with a captial W. However, it is not fair that I was taught by the watchtower to be a passive interrgationist. Should a person's life be in danger because of another's persons feelings, and how they feel? No. But what I am saying is that people have a right to preserve. Thats all I'm saying.

  Another Witness Goes on about Syria and the Big "A"

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  was speaking with a jw about an issue of mutual interest and he went on about how close we are to the end and "we just dont know how this syria situation may turn the un against religion".

  gimme a break.

  but this time, first ever, there was despair in his voice as if he didn't believe it any longer.

  Its always the end. If things are going good, its the end. If things are going bad, its the end. Its a no win, damned if you, damned if you dont situation with Jehovahs Witnesses.

  Yet More Annual Meeting Speculation. . .

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, yes, there will be a "new bible" released at this annual meeting.

  worst kept secret ever.. however, the new bible will no longer be called the "new world translation".

  again, this is pure speculation, but it would kind of make sense since the term "new world" is very mason-y, old-time jw-y, and doesn't appear in the bible anyway.. what they would call it, i couldn't even guess..

  Damn!!! Sadly a lot of people are gonna have to find out about this religion the hard way. I just wish I had found out about it not being the truth before I was 27. Would have saved myself a lot of gulit and heartache. Sorry about your dad.

  The year 1914

  by Kool Jo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok...so after this new light came out in the watchtower study over the weekend...a couple questions:.

  1. why is the year 1914 still relevant to the doctrine?.

  2. what would the effects be in they were to ever drop the 1914 teaching in the future (let's say 20 years from now)?.

  Yeah I was reading a facebook post, and this lady who post on here says that she went to the KH today and heard the beginning of the doctrine change. I remember when I was a kid how that 1914 thing was pounded into us. I remember thinking the world was gonna be over in 2000.
