  Materialism in your congregation?

  by chukky 594 in

  one of the thing that convinced me that the wt was not the true religion, was the materialism/showy dispolay of ones means of life, that was rife in my ex-congregation.

  for example, many had private vehicle plates and huge houses, many kept on moving into bigger and bigger properties.

  money for many of them seemed to be the main focus.

Someone once said that JWS are more focussed on material things because their hope is based on the same, namely, the big house in paradise etc. Just wondering what your experience was.

  hi.

  if you had to convince a prospective jw why this religion is not the true religion, and you could only use one reason to persuade them, what would it be?.

  Does this negate creation?

  as we all have an immune system, we must have inherited this from previous generations.

  therefore, adam and eve must have had an immune system if we were created.

  if that is the case, why?

  HI

  As we all have an immune system, we must have inherited this from previous generations. Therefore, Adam and Eve must have had an immune system if we were created. If that is the case, why? They were created perfect and would not have had need for protection from infectious disease, as they were to live forever. So, does the fact that we have an immune system negate the possibility of creation?

  I sued the local congregation

  several years ago, before my wife and i left, my 5 yr old daughter got up during the watchtower to cross the aisle to sit with someone else.

  she tripped on the roving microphone wire and smashed her head on the foot of a metal chair.

  the bleeding was profuse and an ambulance was called.

  I think that you are judging without knowing the whole situation.

  My mother-in-law was remained a JW for several years after my wife and I left. Even though I had thought about suing before, we refrained out of any potential repurcussions in our relationship. My mother-in-law has been out for a year now.

  Normally I would agree with your comments about the fact that 'accidents happen' and that people shouldnt be so keen to sue. However, for us it wasnt about money. It was about getting something back from all the years,energy expended, finances, lost career opportunities, psychological damage etc that was inflicted by this organization on my family. I guess That we felt that we could inflict some damage upon them for a change, instead of the other way around

  regards

  Hi

  Several years ago, before my wife and I left, my 5 yr old daughter got up during the watchtower to cross the aisle to sit with someone else. She tripped on the roving microphone wire and smashed her head on the foot of a metal chair. The bleeding was profuse and an ambulance was called. She still bares the scar. About 9 months ago I decided to sue the local congregation. Many of the elders present the day of the accident witnessed the event, yet they tried ti lie to cover themselves by saying that my daughter must have been running through the hall when she tripped. They said this even though they knew that she had severe cardiac problems at the time and was incapable of running. Anyway, the long and short is, that they settled and I managed to recoup a very small amount of the finances that I had previously given to them.

  I was also wondering if anyone on the forum had had any similar experiences, having sued the local cong/society and won.

  Does immune system rule out adam?

  by chukky 594 in

  2. beliefs

  i was thinking the other day about our complicated immune systems.

  if gods plan was for adam to live on earth forever, and never die, then why was he given an immune system.

  he obviously was (if he existed), because we have inherited it.
