  2. bible

  hi,.

  i might be getting rusty on this but i can't seem to find information in relation to god choosing the jws as is chosen religion, i wonder if there is any info on this and if they still teach it, and which books speak of this, and the biblical interpretations.. .

  Shunned by ex-jw's

  by Joey Jo-Jo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  there seems to be a double standard among ex-jw's who believe and practice christianity.. i have lost 3 subscribers from my youtube channel all because of speaking my mind, it was not invasive or rude, but my last two videos appeared to have offended them.. so what happened?

  as an atheist i raised some issues regarding the mind set of christianity that it borrows from jw's, in other words i was showing christian ex-jw's that they are behaving just like jw's.

  the double standard is simple to grasp:.

  Views on handing out literature during field service

  by Joey Jo-Jo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is brought to my attention that some non jw's deliberately accept jw literature just to throw it in the bin.. their intentions are perceived as positive meaning these non jw's throwing their magazines away is a good thing.. what is your view on the matter?.

  should they accept or not accept their literature, and why?.

  is accepting literature benefiting or damaging the cult, and why?.

  Shunned by an ex-jw

  by Joey Jo-Jo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was watching one of alun williams videos on youtube.

  i was a subscriber to his channel, that is until he blocked me completely due to one comment i made on his video watchtoweralert1---homosexuality.

  mind you this was the only comment i have ever made to any of his videos, most vids are your typical ex-jw info but he is now making videos specifically about the bible, one being about homosexuality, although still an ex-jw he appears to be still carrying a lot of jw luggage, for one he has just false propheticed the end, and he spoke against same sex intercourse.. being youtube he is entitled to do what ever he wants on is channel, however youtube is also place for discussion and debates and in no way was my post worth blocking, and being an ex-jw i expected him to know better.. what i posted was - i much rather see those outside the org, but really if you want to play that card you have a lot to answer for, for one circular reasoning.

  Circumcision banned in Germany - it's about time.

  http://www.smh.com.au/world/religious-groups-reject-ruling-on-circumcision-20120628-2159v.html.

  jewish and muslim groups in germany have condemned a court ruling that deemed circumcision to be equivalent to grievous bodily harm.. the court, in cologne, declared this week that the procedure violated a child's ''fundamental right to bodily integrity''.

  religious groups said the ruling trampled on freedom of belief and could lead to ''circumcision tourism''.. the ruling said: ''the body of the child is irreparably and permanently changed by a circumcision.

  Candace Conti, not satisfied with the outcome

  by Joey Jo-Jo in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so the evil slave was fined, and there was justice, but really was there any justice?

  when was the last time you saw a helper for a crime be fined money?

  why is it that those maggots at the wb&ts who have cause such pain and death be allowed to walk away with a 26m fine and frozen assets?

  Atheism or Agnosticism, which one is correct?

  by Joey Jo-Jo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this has been bugging me for a while, and while i dont want to turn this into something about semantics i think that we should quickly define what an agnostic and atheists are.. richard dawkins defines 7 different types of atheist ranging from weak to militant atheists, but along these definitions there appears one definition with a strong resemblance to agnosticism.. to me an agnostic is a person who neither believes nor disbelieves in deity/deities, but there are those who define agnostics as a ignorant who simply just don't care or don't have the intelligence to come to sound conclusion.. an atheist can be a person who disbelieves in a deity/deities based on the current mathematical and scientific understandings of the universe, as well as understandings that can refute certain religions such as the strong influence of protestantism christianity in america.. .

  from here i will refer deity as anything ranging jehovah to a real spaghetti monster, it's not important because a) we dont know b)for the purpose of this discussion it is not important to define what we believe god to be.. an argument that can be used about a deity is -we cannot prove nor disprove that god exists- this is referred to as a null hypothesis, an assumption that we cannot create a hypothesis to prove or disprove this deity.

  this to me is agnosticism and is more correct than the idea of atheism.
