  If the bible said two plus two equals 5 or 2 how would u respond, believers?

  by Jon Preston in

  so would you accept that as true?

  or would you test it to see if it is, indeed, truth?.

  There are plenty of real examples you could have used where the bible is outrightly wrong on history, science, geography, logic, or is even self contradicting.

  Despite this, be prepared for claims that the bible is not a....

  history book

  science book

  geography book

  perfect book

  infallible book

  ......the irony being, they will go bananas if you call it fiction. Nevermind the mess of asking how you know which bits are right or wrong. They just know!

  Some people don't want to face reality. Thats ok too. The life of pi was a great film that made a great point.

  2014: do you see Witnesses ramping up activity? What will the aftermath be in 2015?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw's often say they don't serve with any dates in mind.

  but the fact is many of them can't fathom why the end just hasn't come yet.

  since 2014 marks 100 years of invisible rule many witnesses can't help but think this has some special meaning.

  It's funny.... Ask a JW if the governing body have ever got anything majorly wrong and they will umm and arr to avoid saying 'yes'. Ask them what they got right and they will umm and arr to avoid saying 'nothing'.

  But suggest for a moment that they are hoping on thin air and they get offended...... Mind control at it's best.

  Describe What a Jehovah's Witness Elder Is Like

  by minimus in

  i know what they are supposed to be like.

  but at this point in time, do you think the elders look joyful?

  are they serious bible students?

  "The ceeam of the crop has gone...."

  The religion has never been true and the elders have never had real authority from god, just a man made dictaitorship.

  For as long as elders have destroyed families and lives, there has been no cream and no crop.

  An elder that smiles as he disfellowships you or hugs you as he reproves you, is still a human in a position he does not deserve.

  An elder has always gained the position, not from bible knowledge or study,mbut by loyalty to the orgsnisation. They are nothing better than mafia footsoldiers.

  For those of us with rose tinted glasses of the past, sunny weekends at the assembly and loving elders wanting us to live forever....wake up! Behind the scenes people were still getting stamped on and disfellowshipped. The reason you look back so fondly was because you were immersed in a mind control, brain washed state of mind, everything was candy floss! ......it wasn't! Tne further back in literature you go, the more hurrendous the doctrines were on rape, vaccines, science, medicine, personal sex life, thinking....

  Minimus, sometimes you say the most bizzare things. I was a young pioneer and reading this site in secret, even in bethel i read it in secret. It was 2000 and 2001 and I used a WAP phone to see the webpages And read the stories via JW NET SOUP.

  You are simply incorrect.

  Are you a current JW minimus?

  They are watching the orgsnisation slow down more than EVER, why would they decide now to speed up their voluntary work? In a recession, tired and poor. Any excuse for a break and they will hop onto it. i would be amazed to hear JW's were more active out of their own assumption about dates.

  don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be suprised if some higher up's have fed the idea that this is an important year and some JW's may be responding to that. But I doubt that is a very overt opinion in Watchtower, after all. When 2015 does come around, it is just another dissapointmemt for 7 million people....

  "oh darn it, the global genocide still hasn't come...!"

  How Do You Come to Terms with Being Just One of the 7 Billion?

  by will-be-apostate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being a jw makes one feel special, no doubt.

  when i found out ttatt i realized i'm not special at all.

  i'm just one of the other 7 billion human beings who will live and die being nobody, the world will forget about them (and i'm not talking about relatives and friend), they didn't make anything special in their life, they didn't change the course of history, were not famous nor rich, didn't invent facebook, google or anything awesome, didn't have an article published in newscientist, had no imdb profil, not even a wiki page, didn't write a book etc.

  No longer just a sheep, the world is yours to mould and change as YOU see fit.... You can do and be anything you want, this is as far from depressong as possible. The problem is, you have yet to realise what is possible in the real world, you are stillbasing your assumptions on a Watchtower perspective of the world.

  Think of all the umans that have existed on the earth, going back over 250,000 years.... How do you think they, we,...all got on without being a follower of 8 window cleaners in a Brooklyn factory?

  it's because shat they told you....is a lie.....

  Physics: What are your thoughts on life in the 4th,5th,and higher dimensions?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you do a little research there are many physics forums, discussions, and books about this.

  it's a bit challenging to grasp but it's very interesting.

  if there is life on this higher dimensions, they could see us yet we would be unable to see them.

  Some people would rwther spend their time arguing than educating themselves.

  ask yourself why?

  these people dont want to learn..... And that is why it is best to leave them to it,

  Lies taught by the GB about ....Life, Worldy people & apostates

  the governing body not only lies to it's members about their true history but also about life itself, worldly people and former members.. here are some of those lies that come to my mind.. .

  "jw's are the happiest people on earth" -.

  fact: depression, anxiety, fear of punishment, paranoia, is what jw's live with every day.

  They really didn't tell us much of anything true did they.

  Life is great outside the cold, dark, cruel pit that is watchtower.
