You Know - Your Wrong

by Amazing in

you know: we have not echanged net fluids lately, so forgive my ... shal we say ... explosive!

nature.

history is not at any great turning point.

Y/K.. even your nic shows what a self righteous ignorant prat you are..you know.. As a FULLY graduated commerce expert, your dire finacial ruin rantings are just that RANTINGS!!!!..and obviously abit too much time on your hands.. I mean you need more then an internet education to get the real picture..not just a cut n paste view of commerce.I would suggest going out and getting a REAL fulltime job, and stop using the excuse of "gods world is coming to blow up all the worldly non jws so i can get their houses". I bet in your doorknocking you have a pedestal.. just to give that much more of a lift, huh...?? I know you wont answer my post.. but hey I couldnt stand anymore of your pompous BORING repetive..straight out of the WTS mouth speeches.. you are never going to see the light..that is the true meaning of an apostate...when shown the error of his/her own ways they turn a blind eye. Your arguments are not based n any intelligence but rather doom gloom and the usual WTS rants, You insult , which I am sure Jesus didnt..so I would suggest to go back to the drawing board, get some real facts, a real relationship with God and maybe A WHOLE NEW ATTITUDE, because you are certainly not winning ANY souls on here, you are just fulfilling your need to be a bigger (mouthed) person by coming into a chatroom and piping your BS...As I have already suggested..come back with real facts.. not just BS..and stop your insult on some very intelligent people's opinions, and that is known as a DISCUSSION.. Normally I dont resort to insults but I thought id lower myself to your gutter way of thinking you pleb....and as a suggestion..read your bible fully without a single "apostate" WTS book tract/booklet in sight.. it is truly refreshing and insightful...

SEX, LIES, DEMONS, & APOSTASY

by You Know in

the issue is as old as eden itself, that being: does god have the right to tell us what to do?

that core question, more than anything else, defines what jehovahs witnesses are about, in that we are outspoken advocates and supporters of jehovahs right as sovereign to require obedience from his creatures.

the flip side of that is, of course, rebellion against god, which is expressed in numerous ways and on all levels of society.

This simple.. God +supreme being.. he made humans..( or used evolution.to, whatever your belief....) the essential factor in knowing God, is to read the bible see the story of life..and lets face it..Hardly any 2 people interpret it the same...The Bible is a story an expression of gods love and a statement of God evolving to letting humans use their god given free will to make choices decisions and live with them....And handing us the earth and each other as a means to experience all.. But this of course is only my interpretation and how I CHOOSE to see it..in a gentle non denominational way.. the way God intended.. Religion and all the argumeants and pulling apart and sectarianism and cultism is purely mans take on God...he gave us choice and we as a race and individual affect our own futures..

Update on my Brother and Cousin...

by mindfield in

as some of you know, my brother and cousin have been planning to tell their parents about their beliefs (or rather, lack of) about the jw's and their decision not to attend meetings or convert others.. well, they did it much quicker than i ever expected.

they did it before yesterday, to be more precise.

both of them...phew.

KissAFish

It is unfortunately not hard for me to comprehend, mindfield.. My mum and Dad kicked me out at 17, and I was still a JW...!!! A questioning one though.. I always remember Elders * my dad had stepped down as one due to family bickering*.being involved in EVERY fight both my older brother and I had, and on e particular elder had said" if your Mother and Father tell you to sleep on the roof ..you do it..".They also made us Write out a contract of good behavoiur( I kid you not), and I and my brother had to sign it..me at 14 my brother at 17....Parental love and unconditional love at that, which is a right everyone should have..goes out the window when dealing with JW'S your parents or not.and Andrew, to answer you ..in a way... I was quite happy to stay in my family..but had the right to not believe in what my parents were choking down my throat, as I had an immense feeling God was for everyone not a select group of people..

why, what made you join JWs?

by tosko in

i would like some brief stories of people saying the reasons they joined jw organisation.

where you already in another church, were you disillusioned, were you biblically illiterate?

and if it is possible, please let me know where you come from, hoping you're not all from usa.

I was BORN into HUGLEY FANATICAL JWS.. * my mum breathed fire while preaching!!* My Dad was an elder for years...and yet I can never remember believing a word of it all..I wrote chrissy cards to all my school friends* hehehe*...I left in 1992 at age 17..and never looked back..even when my Dad phoned me to say my Mum was diagnosed with terminal myeloma ( cancer) and it was my fault and my brothers for leaving the BORG.. She died as a feverent JW with the words.".Please come back... You will be Satan's fodder otherwise* rolling my eyes*..." my Dad remarried 4 months after my Mums death.... to a fellow JW (?) and I have 2 sisters still in the religion, one is divorcing her hubby (bitterly..going after every cent..urged on by elders and fellow JWS ).. because he "fell away" in other words found the courage to leave and question the religion,my other sister carries on her own secret rebellion by asking ex family members to take her clubbing and she has meetings via the phone line...(?)..But she is till doing the JW thing otherwise.. Me... I am a free spirit who has an answer for every JW coming my way..

Oooh you guys KILL me.. so witty.. best way to handle life..Anyway... I am so sick of the JW focus on sex.. How I reason it is.. God made man ( and WOMAN!!) with all the necessary organs to greatly enjoy sex, and he also gave us free will, that is the right to chose for ourselves our paths in life, put the 2 together and VOILA!!!! you get..a god who made us to individually express our own sexuality..( be it whatever THAT is)...if you have to focus on the ity bity nitty gritty, YOU KNOW NOT!! you miss the bigger picture.. I mean the dub rules are like studying law... The whole reason ( if you believe in Christ coming to Earth) Jesus came to Earth was to simplify ALL the RULES that the religious leaders of his day were spouting.. and make it in to one almighty law..LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.. That is GOD... love... UNCONDITIONAL LOVE...not a bunch of monkey suited....stuck up pigheaded class distincting poo heads!!! ( giggle).. Jesus did away with the need of an organization.. you guys are in the class of Pharisees and SAD ( U SEES( hehehe)....you pick and choose what applies and deny all when caught out.. (tut tut).. You half quote all the scriptures you have mentioned( what about reading around the WHOLE scriptures.. hell ...you guys might have to change EVERY belief you have then.. . THE ORGANIZATION has though done the ULTIMATE BOO BOO..by changing the WHOLE bible to suit its religious fundamental beliefs..That alone to me..proves how wrong it is.. and yes you give the ultimate brainwashed spiel..but you forget that all ex dubs know and refute that all.. it is not apostasy...it is free thinking.. OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT..... you should try it..

I'm sick of this boring life!!

by Nicolas in

i'm really tired of always having to fight.

i don't have any friends in this world and i don't want to return to the evil watchtower.

it seem to me that everyone else around have fun and enjoy the life while, i still don't know what to i do with my life.

KissAFish

Unfortunately something we all can come out with is the fact of judging everyone..scrutinizing all things... but I can say..I have met, since leaving jws, some of the kindest most "christian " people i have ever met.. you have to regain confidence step into the world take it by the balls and love it..all things good are out there too, more so then in a closed circuit religion..Enjoy...
