  I am an atheist, with that said.....

  Maybe they just read the bible....... most JW's don't. It clearly says everyone should keep doing it and all partakers were not anointed in that upper room according to JW teaching. I am suprised it does not get asked more.

  This being said, any interaction with a deity such as an anointing is by all standards a 'miracle' event. I hope for those kids sake, they are mentally strong, because unless they can one day admit their mistake, like many ex JW anointed, they will spend their life trying to explain why told people they experienced a miracle by god.

  Why are JWs so afraid of apostates?

  by Magnum in

  why are jws so afraid of apostates?

  their view of apostates seems to be out of the realm of the ordinary, the natural.

  its as if the words of apostates are supernatual or spiritistic as if apostates are some kind of jedi knights who can slightly wave their hands or twitch their eyes and bring one under a spell.

  They have been trained to be fearful of ANY opposing views, so much so I have seen people change the channel on David Attenborough for daring to disagree with 8 window cleaners in Brooklyn....

  Never mind the independantt thinking man/woman/teen who dares to walk away from the GB and Watchtower for REASONS.

  They are scared to death that they may hear the reasons, that is all it is. As WT has said for decades..... that SEED can ferment and grow!

  When in reality, truth by nature of it being TRUTH cannot be proven false.

  However.....what is false can be proven to be not 'the truth'

  They are just doing what we once did. Don't get me wrong, I remember the same feelings too. Anger, frustration, wanting to shout the lies out loud but also the draining nature of leaving making you want to hide from it all, also.

  It is hard, but prove Watchtower wrong, be nice, be calm, smile and be friendly....... show them how foreign to humanity they have become.

  Is it kind of funny that JWs don't give Jesus resurrection day any notice?

  by Comatose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you think about it, for a die hard christian the day jesus was supposed to be resurrected and back in heaven, thereby fulfilling his earthly mission, is a very big day.

  all the jws i know never even thought about it.

  in fact if i had mentioned it, i bet they would have looked me at strangely.

  It may be because he kept popping back down to earth..... I think I count any return now as his 6th or 7th coming...

  That is ignoring all the toast he left his mark on...

  The Brooklyn Eagle did a tally of sales in November 2013. It was just the property in Brooklyn and just the recent sales...

  "More than $500 million has been paid – or promised – for local Jehovah's Witnesses properties in the past two years, city records and press reports indicate. The transaction tally does not include sales of Watchtower properties before 2012."

  Sorry to hear that a fellow human being had to be treated like this in 2014 in a western civilisation. It is like jumping back 500 years in time...

  Shark Evolution

  i used to consider sharks to be evidence for creation - and against evolution because it was stated that they are largely unchanged after millions of years ( hence, 'what evolution?')..

  that's not the case, however.
