  by stan livedeath in

  1. social
  2. humour

  as the title says--i'm out of here for good.. the site is full of atheists, communists, 7th day adventists, creationists, believers, deceivers, receivers, football supporters,.

  dodgy types, cantleave---and assorted wankers.. so no place for me--because i'm none of the above so dont fit in.

  so--this is goodbye forever my friends--its been almost average knowing you.

  You won't be such a naysayer when the Bills win the Superbowl this year. (That will also be clear & irrefutable proof that the end is near...)

  Lurking JWs, if you're to love Jesus more than family, does it make sense to withhold family to coerce persons to return to Jesus?

  by Island Man in

  jesus said that his true disciples would love him more than family.

  (matthew 10:37) therefore, ex-jws worthy of reinstatement should be returning because they love jesus more than family - not because of wanting to restore family association.

  if they truly love jesus more than family they would still return despite their family continuing to communicate with them, because they will value their relationship with jesus as a prize to be attained above and beyond their relationship with their family.

  That's always a question a ask JWs I meet. As a "footstep follower of Jesus, would you not side with him instead of the opinions of men?" The answer is always "Of course." That is until you call them on the actual words of Jesus as opposed to the opinions of the GB. Then its "Well they're inspired by Jesus" Really? Take for the example of how Jesus instructed his followers to view "those who left who were not of our sort". Jesus said to treat them as "men of the world." How did Jesus treat "men of the world"? He both talked with and ate with them. So I always tell JWs I have good news; you can now talk to me, let me take you to lunch......

  JW Video Armageddon to occur before 2040

  2. bible

  sorry i thought it was a new morning worship video but it is 6 months old and has already been discussed on here..  it is presented by gb helper k flodin and about this generation.

  the delusion and hypocrisy runs deep.. he reminds the cult members not to speculate because they aren't supposed to know the day or the hour.

  then he proceeds to speculate that armageddon will occur before 2040.. https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_201511_3_video.

  a few years before i woke up, a young man in my congregation went to ministerial training school.

  he began to speak about some of the things he had learned.

  one of the things mentioned was that of incubus or succubus, that is to say, sex demons.

  Apostates, cult members, agnostics, atheists & those of us that just don't give a crap; it doesn't matter. If I'm right, we all get a " get out of jail" card. If I'm wrong, it won't matter anyway. I can't lose. I'm just putting it in print in case I'm right so later you can all tell me how smart I was.........

  Welcome those JW's who lurk here with the purpose of affirming their religion. This website was designed for all to express their opinions & beliefs openly. Many exJW's have pursued all different avenues of belief & you may take issue with those that stray too far from your personal ones. As a true believer, you know that Jehovah is a god of reason so let's go with that common ground & reach a logical conclusion using your doctrine:

  1914. Not one shred of historical evidence leading to this date as the beginning of the end. Russell plagiarized this date. Of all the signs Jesus gave as evidence of the last days " earthquakes in one place after another" has not materialized. Nor have any of the other signs. Jesus gave that prophesy in 33 CE. It was initially fulfilled in 70 CE. One generation. A period of time for those who heard the warning being able to benefit. Overlapping generations? I won't even dignify a response.

  If 1914 is not the beginning; you're still living in the "Gentile Times". Which means, the one true religion isn't here. All who die now get a free pass to a resurrection. This also means the " one true religion isn't here. Which means you're not it. Which means you're actually a part of FALSE religion & Babylon the Great. This also means you, your children, your grandchildren will grow old & die.

  The question of "Where would we go?" is flawed. The real question is "When". Which means you could have lived your life anyway you wanted. The sacrifices you have made to a false manmade religion are of no merit to God. Start the Great Awakening. To the adults still in, get out !!!!. Get your children out. Get your friends out. Go out & live life !!!

  How to shake up Jdubs...

  by Rather Be the Hammer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i didn't attend the meeting last night, but my in husband came home and was quite shocked because there was a letter announcing that there will be no wt-library cd-rom any more, and..... no more calendar.. he said there was a lot of talking and noise when that was announced.. i didn't expect the calender to go, by the way.

  and my husband sounded really concerned, talking about how society is cutting down.

  i love it when he says with a tone of surprise in his voice: 'you were right, now they want us to do everyting digital, and throw out the printed stuff.

  Smart move eliminating the CD rom. Who wants the rank & file actually doing research? It's much easier to control what they can get there hands on with online material. I think I'll hang on to my old CD's for a while....

  You gotta love the GB's approach in keeping the R&F in line. By pushing it another 24 years in the future, it keeps the older ones in line by giving them this carrot. So while they say nothing, hoping against hope to survive, the younger R&F members figure they'll slide right in. Nice job.

  Help - I'm going to be conducting the watchtower study

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it looks like i'm going to have to take the watchtower study for a while so i thought i'd seek help.. i wont be outing myself or stating anything too controversial, but so far i have come up with the following tactics : 1) ask questions which will get people thinking even if it is about something insignificant - developing a questioning mind is the key to discovering ttat as far as i am concerned.

  2) highlight any extreme points so that some might realise they are extreme.

  3) highlight any good points - helping others in need for example - just because it is the right thing to do.. if anyone has any general comments which could help, please post them here.

  I'd love to have a shot again on the stage. Remember we used to "Make Sure of All Things". Get them thinking if you can. Good Luck.

  According to the Bible, GB is committing an unforgivable sin

  by elbib in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  “the soul that does something deliberately [footnote says “with uplifted hand”] whether he is native or an alien resident, he speaking abusively of jehovah’s word, in that case that soul should be cut off from among his people.” (numbers 15:30).

  according to this verse, acting with “high-handedness” and “speaking abusively of jehovah’s word” constitute disfellowshipping offence.

  1) “high-handedness” is something that jws themselves silently experience from jb, hence require no witness or proof.

  The GB make the Scribes & Pharisees look like choir boys. It didn't work out well for them... Where's that burning Hell when you want it?
