undeniable facts of history

by bobld in

in 1939 hilter(evil) invaded poland and killed approx.16.5% of the pop.. what about jehovah god.in his history book the bible.see deut.ch, 2&3.. he punished his nation israel for 40 yrs because they choose (free will) not to enter the promise land.. notice deut.2;34 what happened to the cities of king sihon of heshbon.we(jehovah) completely destroyed(extirpate,exterminated) the people in every city-the men.women.and children.we (jehovah) did not leave anyone alive.. later in deut.3;6- 60 cities in the area of argob(og's kingdom in bashan) we (jehovah)completely destroyed(raze) every city and all the people in them,even the women and the babies.

(really sick).. many will use the excuse,that god had to destroy them to prevent problems for his people such as idolatry,etc.yeah right kill babies,just like hilter killed the jews.. and they say read the bible and mediate on all the killings.no thank-you.

His answer was that god ordered one and not the other. Chilling!

Just like many war criminals pleaded:

" I was only following orders".

Is true faith possible?

by freshstart in

i still feel the need to worship and the desire for faith, but having been raised as a jw and not knowing anything else, i just feel confused and lost as far as faith goes.

sometimes i think that maybe their isn't a god, i just don't know......

One of our posters here is Lunatic Faith.

I quite like one of her citations:

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything." (Friedrich Nietzsche / 1844-1900)

I just love the way they put in the presentations

[Allow for response.]

in other words, give them a chance to speak.... but dont listen and dont take their view into account.

How patronising

What initial did make you have doubts about the "truth"? Was it apostasy?

by Joey Jo-Jo in

this question is different from what made you leave.. as for me, i wanted to take one step further, to be more involved in the organization, but i had some very old small doubts, about other religions, so i started my liberal study on religion, i read books from other churchs to reffute them, but in fact created more doubts about the org..

For me it was just logic. Once I took the time to think about things we believed, I realized that it was ridiculous.

Then I realized my life was passing by, and since this is all there is, I'd better get on with enjoying it.

At the time there was a song by the Beautiful South, which marked me:

"I want my sundrenched Ingred Burgman kiss,

not in the next life,

I want it in this, I want it in this. "

I have been drunk after drinking too much beer and after drinking too much wine.

At that particular moment, I dont recall having noticed too much difference.

Is this a Jw website or what?

by dropoffyourkeylee in

jw
friends

this website is odd.

it seems to be the witnesses, but maybe not?

honestly i don't know what to make of it.

jean-luc picard

Ah the Outer Plaiedes.

I spent a wonderful leave there a few years ago. Made friends with a two headed Yorup from Tanges 9.

Dont think he was a jdub though. He drank to much. Then again................

Weird things JWs can't own or wear

by lilbluekitty in

also posted on the yuku forum.. i thought it might be amusing to make a list of things i remember when i was a dub that we couldn't have or own or wear.

(some of these things vary by where you live, in other places dubs have them, it just depends).

obviously the list goes on forever, but feel free to add things.

jean-luc picard

I second MrsJones.

Good job they dont celebrate Christmas. It would be hell, trying to decide what to buy them.

When does God visit a person?

by mankkeli in

i copied this from a friend's wall on facebook .

often times, god does not visit a man until his case has been declared humanly impossible, closed or dead.

when men say, it is over!

Cofty:

I tend to "unfriend" people who write stuff like that on Facebook

that made me laugh.
