Is the information on JWfacts.com accurate?

by Nobleheart in

i'm researching and going through so much material to try and find out whether jw doctrines and beliefs are based on the bible, as well as if they're consistent.

i'm a jw currently and i have many doubts at the moment.

fortunately this site is helping me so much, as there's always someone who's posted the same question i had in mind.

Nobleheart

I'm really happy for all the feedback. Personally I started to awake after a friend told me about the UN involvement. Also someone in service had a book (wish I'd gotten the title now) about all the false prophecies. I was unable to answer her satisfactorily, and the other sister was quite 'stumbled' by what she heard. When I asked an elder at my cong. about the false prophecies (how I could return and provide answers), he said the predictions were indeed false and if someone was exposed to that info, I'd better not return there at all.

@jwfacts - I was made aware only be another poster above that you were posting here. As a JW I really like your site, because it's clear and to the point. Not everyone has the time to read 100s of pages, yours is a condensed review. I'd like to thank you for bringing out so many things that I'm sure bother many JW around the world. And for being modest and open to updates. I haven't found anything inaccurate so far. I only wish other JW would look at facts in an objective manner.

@leavingwt - Thanks for the recommended book. I should really start ordering book online. On a side note, I read your DA letter on one of my first days in this board, and it blew my mind. The logic of your arguments made sense. I was moved by it.

@ Black sheep - You're probably right about not opening up to my family yet. I guess it depends on whether they want it to be the "truth" or accepting facts for what they are. But I'm willing to take your advice and not ruin my chances. I know I still need to convince myself of a number of things. I'll do the list of kings, it's a good idea.

@ Ultimate Reality - Thanks for the link. I'll keep investigating. For one, I cannot teach others things I'm not even sure of myself.

@ Billy

Thanks for your information as well. I had read somewhere that 607 and 1914 came from the measurements of the Pyramids (crazy isn't it), so it's another strong point in contradicting these dates. I don't know about the book of Daniel being myth or not. I've always been open-minded as a JW and once read a book, which pointed that Daniel's book was written much later than what we think. But that's another story.

Thanks Bohm and Leolaia.

I'd love to read books like "Gentile Times" or "Apocalypse Delayed", but they're not available in my small country in Europe. Maybe a Protestant Church carries them, but I wouldn't venture to go there just yet. I wish I could read Crisis of Conscience, and will probably order it online. Also I don't have access to information older than the WT CD-Rom, there just isn't anything in my language older than that (at the KH or anywhere). So thank God for Internet and forums such as this!

Thanks so much for all your answers. I truly do value it as I know some of you have a significant history with the WT.

@ OTWO - I know about the book "Gentile Times", but it's not available here where I live and it would probably take my forever to read and digest all that material. English is my third language btw. Which is why I gratefully appreciate it if someone has done their research and posted their findings in a clear and brief format. JWfacts really presents information in a clear manner imo.

@ undercover - Thanks for your advice, as well as for encouraging me to prove things for myself. I wasn't actually going to direct my family members to this site, I would glean info from there, as well as this site and talk to them about it. As far as I know them, they're not the blind JWs who take everything at face value. So I really hope they will react in a reasonable way to facts which I will plan to present.

I just need to convince myself first of all things and then open up with others. It's taking some time. But considering I 'studied' with JW for 3 years, it's not that bad.

Hi everyone!

I'm researching and going through so much material to try and find out whether JW doctrines and beliefs are based on the Bible, as well as if they're consistent. I'm a JW currently and I have many doubts at the moment. Fortunately this site is helping me so much, as there's always someone who's posted the same question I had in mind.

I don't want to sound lazy for not doing my own research (because I'm truly spending a great deal of time reading countless webpages and books). I'm already convinced the blood issue and the generation "new light" aren't "food at the proper time". My interest is mainly in the doctrine of 607/587(6).

I would like to help others too (mainly family members) by explaining them in clear and simple terms, whether what we've believed until now is true or false. So far the JWfacts website has proved to be of much help to me personally. I've checked some points and they are based on correct information. But I'd like to ask your opinion, if you've been on this site too and examined the information for yourselves. Have you found it to be trustworthy and reliable?

I'd really appreciate feedback on this.

and Thank You

The CO just called :S

by ele_lux in

aaaaggghhhh!!!

it's the co's visit this week at "my" hall.

i've been dreading this week and now the nightmare is starting to unfold :s the co just called wanting to know how i'm doing.

Nobleheart

Ele-lux hang in there. Avoid the visit if you can, or take the polite and brief reply suggested by drewolf and simon. He'll be gone the next week and you can relax again. No matter how scary, a nightmare can't last forever.

When a friend tells you things you don't hear at the KH

by Nobleheart in

a close friend of mine enlightened me a couple of weeks ago by telling me so many things about the wt.

that's how i first heard about the involvement with the un, russell's pyramidology (freemason symbols), dates, etc.

this friend also used terms like 'mind control' and 'rank and file', which i'd never heard before in this context.

Nobleheart

Thanks for all your support everyone! As well as for the suggested sites and reading!

He also has gotten hold of the new elder's book, which he isn't entitled to (not an elder). So I'm now wondering if he's also a member here or lurking around. We're both active JW currently.

So that got me to do my own research of all these things, and I came to this site. And I've truly learned so much.

I'd like to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone here for their research and postings. I might have read countless posts by now.

Regards,

Did Young Jesus Have Any Memory of His Pre-Human Existence?

by leavingwt in

jw
friends

(via this post at jwr.).

did young jesus have any memory of his pre-human existence?.

"evidently", the writing department [celebrated wt scholars] cannot decide.

Nobleheart

leavingwt many thanks for pointing that out. I remember going over the thursday study and remembering the other article, which imo aren't fully compatible. Anything that starts with 'evidently' is questionable. Also clauses starting with "Apparently" or "It appears that ...".
