  Are JWs trying to make dysfunctional kids and destroy their ability to live normal lives?

  by C0ntr013r in

  are jws trying to make dysfunctional kids that wont "fit" in normal society so they will "return to jehovah"?

  because there have been many stories about young people who have been out in the world only to find how bad it was and how correct the org was.. a good jw kid with "good" jw parents will have many big issues, some examples:.

  fear of demons (fear, misfit).

  I've dealt with most of those things and it is still better than being a dub.

  Me and the bible don't see eye to eye

  matt 7:13 in the past 2000 years billions of people took the broad and spacious road to destruction.john 5;29 however,they will be resurrected.why!

  would you retrieve a rotten apple from the trash.. james 1;15 desire-paraphased leads to sin and death.a married man desires and has sex with a woman.you could say he screwed himself to death.on the other hand a man with pure thoughts would not think of such a thing.he's going to die anyways.bummer.. james 1:17 a perfect gift from above.my ass,drought in california and snow to high heaven in boston.. one more james 1;22 become doers of the word (per john 1;14 the word is j.c.) how am i suppose to do something with the word that is somewhere in space.

  Interesting point about those now dead that took the broad road. Especially when you consider that the only real difference is that they didn't have the JWs particular interpretation of the bible being preached to them by a small group of odd mostly uneducated people.

  Today's (4/12) WT study - all about Jesus

  by OneEyedJoe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's watchtower study article is all about jesus.

  this stuck out to me after a year of hanging out on here where one frequent point of criticism is that jws claim to be christians but never talk about jesus.. anyone think it's a coincidence that today was the "special talk" follow-up to the memorial?

  i think not - this is the most attended sunday meeting of the year, complete with many ubms, studies, and miscellaneous other potential victims who have been subjected to a coordinated effort to pressure them into attending.

  My favorite part:

  How did Jesus show humility in his speech and in his actions?

  He never called undue attention to himself. Instead, he directed all glory to his Father.

  I never heard of Jesus wearing a jesus.org pin. And he never went around telling everyone how humble he was (or did he).

  And I just noticed that the front page of jw.borg mentions Jehovah 3 times one of which is the title of a featured article. But it mentions Jehovah's Witnesses 6 times

  Questions that were never answered for me

  by WasOnceBlind in

  i have always been a very rational and thoughtful person.

  there where always questions i had growing up regarding things i was taught.

  of course asking questions while being a jw is a big no no!

  Satan challenged Gods right to rule.
  

  God lost that bet a long time ago and even more so if JW really are the one true religion.

  Memorial Question?

  by naazira in

  2. friends

  over the years, i've come to notice that some of the friends will not touch the plate with the bread or the cup of wine ,when the emblems are being passed around.

  i remember a row of 3 people told the brother to skip over them.

  every year i have noticed this behavior.

  What would happen if life was found elsewhere?

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  see jws have said time and again jesus died once for all time... a quote from hebrews.

  okay rule out humn-like aliens what about animals plants and microbes... i once had a hot fight with an elder when i still believed that here was no reason to doubt alien animals etc.

  yet not based on any wt article witnesses reject this often.. lets suppose say in a month microbes are found on ceres (i doubt it will happen but let's roll with it) they are living as much as our cells are and reporduce... okay what would mother say in the magazines when millions of jehovah's witnesses demand to know why jehovah created microbes on a dwarf planet?.

  They have already said that life on other planets wasn't likely because if there was they would probably have settled the universal question of who will worship god willingly.

  My question has always been why can't the angels answer this question?

  Maybe this whole universal question is a 5 out of 9 proposal and there are 9 other planets with human like creatures.

  Even if everything about the "truth" was all true...........

  by pontoon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i will say that one of the most distasteful teachings for me is the idea of praising, thanking, worshiping, god every day for all eternity.

  what kind of ego needs that?

  like if i ever saved a person's life i would say buy me a bottle of scotch and we'll call it even.

  Maybe that is why he tricked Adam and Even in the first place, he got sick of all their yapping.

  i just started to watch the february broadcast when i noticed a metallic rattle over the drone of sam's voice.

  (does that man speak with a mouth full of chowin' tobacco or is he choking on the rubbish he reads off the autocue?).

  yep it's his rolex.

  Unity or Uniformity?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the feb 2015 broadcast finishes with a stupid "reminder" to remain united in worship etc.... the real definition of witness life though should be : uniformity!.

  there is no room for individuality....there is no room for anything except complete mindless adherence to whatever the 7 in power dictate!.

  Anyone catch their comparison to a class of students learning algebra being similar to the way JWs all learn the same thing the same way about the bible?

  And it is just me or did they seem to do away with being modest in dress? I saw more than one gold watch and pinky ring.

  How did you get through mind numbing meetings?

  I used to talk through the entire meeting. A friend told me a story about when he was studying and came to one of the meetings during the CO visit. I was sitting near the front of the hall with a friend of mine and we were talking away during the CO's talk. The CO stopped the talk to give us a dirty look. Then he tells me I gave the CO a dirty look of my own and went right on talking. I don't know if it is true but I really hope it is. It does sound a bit like me.

  
  

  I never really listened to a meeting until I was DFed, that's when I started to wake up.
