  I'm not buying it! That people left the Witnesses and became Christians.

  i tried it, could not swallow all the lies and misinformation they had.

  i am sorry, but even if you deny the whole witness faith, there is still parts to christianity that they pointed out that you can not just ignore and act like it is okay to join another faith that is christian.

  are you going to become catholic when your know their history?

  I don't agree with that evidence, so I'll just ignore it. . .

  I sent a similar email to an elder ealry last year and his response led me to believe that he simply didn't read a single word I wrote...

  there's just no way to get through to some JWs, even with solid evidence presented in its simplest form... the programming is just too great for them to even notice it...

  THANK YOU Steven Unthank

  by cedars in

  ohiocowboy has just posted this information on the two other threads dealing with the sudden collapse of the unthank cases.. i don't know steven unthank, but i just want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for having the courage against overwhelming odds to try and bring the watch tower society to justice over their deplorable neglect when it comes to protecting children from abuse and molestation.. steven is a man of justice and integrity who i deeply admire.

  his actions will never be forgotten, and i only hope he can find it within himself to continue his work in whatever avenue may become available in the future.. they have won this battle, but they can never win the war.. .

  cedars.

  The world is getting better

  by laverite in

  the world is getting better in many ways despite the doom and gloom jws might claim.

  the 24/7 news cycle seems to be all doom and gloom.

  but is it all doom and gloom?

  I walked my dog the other day around my neighborhood and it just dawned on me that most of my neighbors are really nice people... in fact, they're probably the nicest people I've ever met! ... I didn't really notice that when I was a JW...

  Then I thought... wait, i bet most people are the same way!

  It's incredible what this religion does to your mind...

  no rick... you don't get to dodge the question this time.... you are quick to claim that posters who call you out whenever you lie are cowards... so you are implying that you are not a coward yourself.... that being the case, you should not have a problem answering this simple question:.

  who is the radio personailty that you claim is jealous of you?.

  Doesn't 607 prove the Bible false?

  by garbonzo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the prophecy clearly states that the destruction of jerusuelem will be 70 years before the cast to rebuild.

  yet we know the destruction of jerusuelem was not 70 years before, it was at 586 bce, not 607 bce.

  so this here is a clear contradiction between secular evidence and the bible.. atheists = win..

  Jeremiah 25:11... 70 years of servitude... (oh, and an unspecified period of desolation)... but 70 years of servitude for sure...

  No Babilonian king availble to serve after 539BCE, so the 70-year period ran from 609BCE through 539BCE... it's really just that simple...

  2. friends

  there are many weird and creepy images in the revelation book but there is one that i could never figure out.

  why the creepy monster like hand?

  is it subliminal or just an error?

  maybe there's more to that hand than meets the eye...

  why they decided to go with animal claws on a grey-colored hand (versus the natural skin tone they used in the rest of that illustration) we'll probably never know...
