  From the blog, some questions to meditate on, you evil, obsessed apostates!

  • When you left the organization, did you feel jilted by those in authority? Yes, and yet that is not my fault. They are captives.
  • Do you make a concerted effort to draw others away from the organization? No, I want to live and let live, but that is not possible with your totalitarian religion.
  • Does any mention of the organization, its members, or its authority cause you to break into conversations not even concerning you to speak bad about them? Huh?
  • Do you create specialized avatars for your online ID's that express opposition to the organization? -_-
  • Do you make entire blog or web pages specifically designed to turn people away from the organization? Pot, meet kettle.
  • Are you trying to form your own religion? Does non-evangelical agnostic count as "forming my own religion?"
  • Do you think your religious ideas are superior to the organization's simply because they are your ideas? Don't have any religious ideas.
  • Do you think God has chosen you to oppose the organization? W...... T...... F.......
  • Do you often find yourself thinking about how much you dislike the organization, its members, or its authority? I think I dislike the authority it holds over sincere yet misinformed individuals such as yourself.
  • Do you spend more than a few moments a week opposing the organization? How much time do you spend proselytizing a week?
  • Have you stopped searching for the truth about God in your opposition to the organization? Which God?
  • Have you stopped relying upon God in your opposition to the organization? Another WTF....
  • Do you consider opposition to the organization to be service to God? Sigh.....
  • Are you still a member of the organization for the purpose of undermining the organization? I've decided to rejoin for the sake of friends and family, I will subsequently attempt a fade or minimal service.
  • Do you get hot under the collar at every mention of the organization? Well, whenever I go to meetings, I'm just surprised to see the organisation or the slave mentioned more than God himself. Kinda tells you what this religion is all about...
  • Do you spend time combing through the organization's literature just to see if what is written by one of its members apart from the organization is accurate just so you can use the occasional thing that is not perfectly correct against that person? I thought all literature was endorsed by Jehovah himself.

  New Chapter, incredible how far you've come in a year. I'm surprised myself, I never thought I would reach agnostic.

  Really goes to show you what time does to a person.

  IS GOD REAL? HOW DO YOU KNOW?

  by still thinking in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is an honest question on my part.

  someone on this board asked me 'how do you know' a while ago and i really struggled with it.

  in fact, it was a turning point for me.

  If God/Jesus can read our hearts...knows what we would do with his knowlege if he shared it with us...he MUST contact people who previously knew nothing about him. If not....why not? Wouldn't that be unfair on people simply because they were born in the wrong part of the world, and weren't taught about him?

  If the Bible account of God appearing to Cornelius in vision is true, then God should have no problem doing that a lot. And yet.....

  Children who are born to unbelieving parents.

  by Inisc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i remember a scripture, (i forget which one exactly) that is quite specific in that if a child has 2 unbelieving parents then god is going to kill that child.. but if a child has one believing parent then that child will be saved at armageddon.. how is this fair?.

  i always even as a small boy found this to be utterly disgusting and not indicative of a loving fatherly creator.. not to mention some people would say that some would get a kind of 'benefit of the doubt' such as the mentally handicapped as they could not be expected to gain an accurate knowledge of truth.. and also the unrighteous who die now will be resurrected later.. so, if your a bad person but die your home free.. but if your an innocent child and your folks are too busy to go to the meeting, your worm chow..

  wtf!?.

  Inisc, it is obvious you don't understand the deep things of God. Do 10 Hail Mary's, mix with a Bloody Mary, and voila!

  Eating Blood v Transfusion . . . same thing?

  by sizemik in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wts ban on the transfusion of whole blood or primary components is established on a number of "principles" which when taken in their entirety give rise to the doctrine.. one important one is the refusal to distinguish between the consumption of blood by eating .

  and the consumption of blood by surgically implanting it (transfusion).

  we've all heard the "alcohol" analogy.

  Inisc, I feel you. Reasoning is sometimes impossible. They simply adhere to what they are told.

  A bit off-topic, what method would you choose if given the option? Bloodless or transfuse? I'd go bloodless, unless at emergency.

  So, how you "know" and how you "prove" are two entirely different things? Who would've thought?

  The "patibulum" : a fragile theory !

  by TheFrench in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the latin fathers of the church has never described jesus carrying a "patibulum".

  indeed, the early christians to represent jesus carrying the "crux", not the "patibulum".

  it's a fact.
