i just had a long conversation with my mother.
she went into her "you know it's the truth" routine.
in a nutshell, i told her that i have found too many discrepancies in the wts.. i told her abbout the 607bce date.
2nd baptism vow... wheres Father, Son, Holy Spirit?
Door to door ministry... Luke 10:7 (Do not be transferring from house to house)
All true Christians partake of memorial... John 6:48-59 Jesus compares the memorial with manna... should be taken daily; compare Revelation 7:14 (John is talking about the Great Crowd) "These are the ones that came out of the great tribulation and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb". Hmmm... surely to do that, they need to partake of the memorial mentioned in John 6:48-59?
JW's claim to be of the great crowd, yet do not come into contact with the blood of Christ... merely pass it along once a year.
I hope this helps.
with all the problems in the 'truth' and all the things that we know are wrong with it there seems to be aspects of their theology (i.e the sequences of the world powers, statue in daniel, the promise of world restoration again found in daniel) that to me still make sense.
although i cannot follow a religion that believes in the destruction of all humanity barring those that respond to their own preaching work i still believe in a creator and cannot accept the teachings of other religions that have no purpose for the earth and believe that mankinds only destiny is in heaven.
my mind keeps telling me that if god was behind a religion it would be so much better than that of the jws.
Me and Aaron were just worrying about our posts being deleted... turns out theres 2 threads.

Hi Individual.
Maybe your looking in the wrong place for truth.
Have you ever thought of going to "the way, the truth and the life"? Religion claims to be a way to Christ... but arent we expected to go directly to Christ OURSELVES?
Christ warned of wicked men, imposters, who snatch and scatter his sheep. This is precisely what religion, INCLUDING the WTS has done.
There is no truth in this "world". Christ is not of this world, and He is the way.
Maybe someone else can take over from me at this point, like AGuest or Kes152, people who are true servants of Christ, and will be able to direct you more accurately. Something I aim to be able to do one day, but am finding difficult.
the oct. 1, 2001 watchtower magazine, pg.
22 par.
"loyalty to god also includes loyalty to his organization...".
Hi bjc
Allegience: Loyalty or the obligation of loyalty, as to a nation, sovereign, or cause.
Loyalty: A feeling or attitude of devoted attachment and affection. Often used in the plural: My loyalties lie with my family.
Devotion: Ardent, often selfless affection and dedication, as to a person or principle
One would pledge allegience to Jah and Christ.
One would be devoted to Jah and Christ.
One would be loyal to Jah and Christ.
John Chapters 14-15
Considering the following scriptures, we can see exactly how misled the JW's are:
Revelation 13:14: "And it misleads those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs that were granted to it to perform in the sight of the wild beast, while it tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast that had the sword stroke and yet revived"
This is the image to the old system... the old law... the law of sin and death, of condemnation. Doing away with Christ's new covenant of forgiveness and life. The system that was nailed to the pole with Christ... the system that was finally done away with c.70CE. Yet... the WTS made an image to it and revived it...
JOHN 14:6; JOHN 5:39-40 is what the WTS ignore and most JW's dont understand.
There is no need for an earthly organisation. The JW's are putting a "god" before Jah's face... this "god" is what they call "jehovah" or the WTS.
Listen to Aaron. (im trying to).
well, here is my real picture.. i have decided to stop hiding and show my real face.. i hid behind an artificial facade (data) for a long time, fearful of facing the consequences of deciding that my former beliefs were incorrect.. i made the concrete decision in march of this year that jehovahs witnesses do not have the truth and in fact that they were totally wrong.. however, since i have been inactive for 5 years and i do have some people that i care about still in the organization, i decided that i would not reveal who i was so that i did not lose my friends and family.. however, i have now decided to be who i am and my change in my picture icon represents that change.
the consequences are still the same, and i am likely to lose most if not all of my borg friends, but that is the consequence of my decision.. no more hiding for me .
bugeye
Hi Dave
How are you? I'll be coming out the closet too one day and will finally reveal all.
why do so many people including my self for so many years stayed and bowed to the watch towers lies and went through abuse, have i been crazy or asleep or something?.
all those predictions they proclaimed they act like they never said them, are they hypnotized or what?.
how come i have woke up to the point of asking why now why not earlier in my life?.
Its called mind control. Most people dont have a clue whats really going on, those that start to have a clue are made to feel guilty, and those that leave are made out to be pure evil and dead, discouraging others from leaving.
Most JW's majprity of family and pretty much all their friends are in the KH, so once they leave, they lose everything... and this is another reason for many to stay put
Evil.
You aint at all crazy, else you'd still be in that org and you wouldnt have realised whats going on.
The REAL God is nothing like what the WTS, and all religion for that matter, portrays.
i have seen many posts where people mentioned being baptized at the assembly hall in natick, ma.
ever since i was a wee kid that is were the local congregation went for the circuit assemblies.. i live in nh...i was wondering if there were others here in new hampshire or other new england states?.
baptized oct 1992, natick ma at age 21.
Does old crappy England count?
before i get started, my name is mark whitmore, 20, i live in vancouver, canada, and i am a follower of the way, a true christian, not a jw.
if you reply, please post who you are, how old and what you believe so that i know where you are coming from.
thanks.. now down to business.. strongs' hebrew and greek online:.
Bibleboy:
Is THIS what you meant to say???
Removed due to excessive evilness and extremely bad taste.
