Can i defend my Faith?

by mrbunyrabit in

so i thought ill check to see how "strong" the things are i believe in.

im still hooked to allot of the wts's teachings, and i still believe in allot of them , even thought i have enough questions of my own to start my own bible school.. so what would you ask me as a "witness" now, so i can try and defend my faith and by doing so, that i might learn something about myself, and what i believe in..

mrbunyrabit, you appear to be learning the truth about the "Truth".....keep reading and researching........and posting.

The world ends on May 27, 2012....

or so says ronald weinland;.

may 27, 2012april 29, 2012. as readers of this site know, may 27, 2012, is the time that i have stated as being the date jesus christ will return as king of kings over all government on this earth.

for such an event to come to pass, the trumpets of revelation must all sound, the united states and dollar collapse, the ten nations of europe arise to fulfill the final revival of the holy roman empire, and russia with china must unite against europe in wwiii.. .... http://www.ronaldweinland.com/.

"You will live where you are told to live!"

by irondork in

one of our most dogmatic, authoritarian elders at the congregation i used to attend made this comment.. .

the wts has beat the drum of absolute authority so long and hard that the idea of free will, or even the notion of a god who might take in to consideration the wants, likes, and desires of his own people has been strangled out of the jw psychology.. .

in one of his talks, brother that's final informed the congregation that it is pointless for us to engage in speculation about how our lives will be in the new system.

So many tempting, colourful pictures on the front of WTs...

And now its "Live where you are TOLD?".......why am I not surprised.

The Predictions Thread

by cedars in

i thought it might be interesting and fun to have a "predictions thread", where we set out our predictions for events to unfold concerning the watch tower society (or jehovah's witnesses in general) over the coming years/decades.. it strikes me that so much has happened in the last ten years, most of which has defied expectations.

here's just a few of the developments that i can think of:.

the abolishment of group book studies in favor of a "family worship evening"the creation of a "study edition" watchtowerthe halving of monthly magazine printing commitmentsthe unprecedented closure/merging of branches (16% reduction in branches last year)the menlo park scandal, a body of elders removed for resisting a refurb of their kingdom hallthe lawsuits in victoria, australia - the society taken to court concerning child protection lawscourtroom admissions about the faithful & discreet slave and similarities with the catholic churchincreased hate speech against "mentally diseased" apostatesastonishing lapses of judgment, such as the "selma and steve" study articlethe ditching of gilead as a school for missionariesambitious construction plans for a new world hq (with or without jehovah's blessing!

I predict, that by 2020, this forum will have a 50% increase in members........all die hard Dubs who found us by mistake, and are now evil apostates! MWAHahahahahhahaa.....(Thats me, laughing......evil-y)

Existential Crisis

by d in

jw
friends

i know that certian times when leaving the jw's one experiences a crisis of meaning and purpose.

i know i did and i am in a sense still getting over it.but i am doing much better.. tell me some of your stories about an existential crisis..

Pams girl

I personally was very happy to be out of it, but something hit me like a ton of bricks a few weeks later when I came to realise I would never see my dear mum again ........the thought of seeing her in the new system kept me in, and helped me after her death. That was a really upsetting realisation, and I spent a few days crying about it.

Thankfully, Ive come to terms with this now, and hold dear the memories of our life together.
