  I'm honestly embarrassed to say I am/was a "JW".

  Yes. Hard to believe I (we) was so gullible!

  But suppose that the teacher allows the rebel to show the class how he would solve the problem."

  Of course, the problem with this analogy is Genesis 11:6, NIV: "The LORD said, 'If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them."

  Seems like when "the rebel" got close to solving the problem, the "teacher" (God) stepped in an thwarted his capabilities (this time by confusing the languages).

  the sounding of the trumpet

  by enoughisenough in

  2. beliefs

  i will risk showing my ignorance but i had some questioning thoughts in my head lately...maybe those more scholarly than me have insight.

  jw teach that the anointed who now die go immediately to heaven.

  when lazarus had died martha said she knew he would rise on the last day.

  It gets more and more fairytale like as this thread progresses. ~ Vanderhoven7

  Well, that certainly seems reasonable considering it seems to be just that -- a fairytale (sic).

  Elders won't tell you who have falsely accused you

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  having been a victim of this practice twice, i thought i would see if others had the same experience.

  on one occassion, i was before the elders being told i was drunk on a certain day at a certain time.

  ( this was only brought up because when i was pushing for a meeting because of elder mr x adultery , i was threatened somethings would be brought out about me if i persued the meeting.

  Matt 18:15 -- the accuser should go directly to the individual first.

  Only after that fails should the elders get involved.

  WTS Says Faith Should Not be in an Organization?

  by blondie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the hypocrisy of the wts knows no bounds

  most jws would say, "but we have faith in jehovah, jesus and the bible, not in men.

  " yet in many places the wts does demand jws to have faith.

  Not a chance.

  They would just announce: "[So-and-so] is no longer one of JW's."

  Game over.

  How far do we get away from 1914

  by PimoElder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how far do we get away from 1914 before they have a new light and admit it was all wrong?.

  they cling to the old theory of the 77 week prophecy from the wrong date that jerusalem was destroyed .

  with the overlapping generations nonsense still we are getting too far away from 1914. what will they say if we get to the 2030s and they still cling to 1914?.

  That's likely a made-up BS story just as was the "whistleblower" that secretly (did not) meet with Adam Schiff that led to Trump's impeachment.Did any further information come out about that? No. Everyone forgot it and moved on to the next crisis.

  Are You Concerned About Inflation?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.

  that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?

  they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

  So inflation went down by a tiny amount, this imbecile is now claiming it means there is 0% inflation

  No doubt Dominion is calculating the inflation rate for them. After all, Dominion did them quite well when counting the 2020 ballots.

  20 Things I Don't Understand about Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don’t understand how jehovah’s witnesses can rightly claim:.

  that less than 150,000 faithful christians existed prior to the 20th century....when allegedly millions were martyred during the first 3 centuries of the common era alone.

  unique ability to interpret scripture...when interpretation of prophecy has been 100% wrong for over 130 years.. .

  But the approach to Bible interpretation is honest and correct and there is good reason to believe they are correct~ Fisherman

  I say there are A LOT MORE reasons (past performance) to believe they are WRONG AGAIN!

  Disagree with your view – – fisherman
  JW’s make mistakes but do their best – – fisherman

  You are entitled to have your own point of view/opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts. Historical facts prove 607 is wrong.

  Well I’m pretty sure the Catholic Church feels like they have made but are also doing their best, as do the Baptists, as do the Presbyterians, as do the etc. etc.
