My Father passed away during the night

by jwfacts in

dad was a great man, great, despite the religion.

he was powerful, tall and intelligent, yet humble and kind.

he was an introvert, and a circuit overseer.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Your father clearly loved you, he even ignored the GB's direction to not keep contact with you.. You are who you are today because of how he brought you up, so be proud of that and remember that even if there isn't an afterlife, part of him will live on through you and your children. My thoughts are with you..

"Do not go beyond the things written"

by hotspur in

how many times did you hear that?

it wasn't until i read with disbelief no room for george's pitiful statement about being proud to be a jw did i start to think of a simple of way of discrediting the jws... it needed a simple scriptural phrase that causes them to shoot their own foot!.

so - how many different ways can you think of where jws have "gone beyond the things written"?.

Jw's cannot get involved in politics, let alone hold a position of political power, even if it their life is at stake (malawi).. "39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you. 40 You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.” 41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. 43 He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command, and people shouted before him, “Make way !” Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt." http://mobile.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+41&version=NIV

WE CAN DO THIS....if you think the idea is as good as I do!

by Terry in

jw
friends

i have long had an idea that i think is a very powerful tool in reaching even hard-nosed jw's.. .

it would consist only of actual photographic scans of various documents, articles, photographs such as these from marvin shilmer's blog: (see next panel).

there would be no extraneous non-official text whatsoever.. it would be published the size of an old life magazine and sent anonymously to jw's at their homes.. the cover would clearly contain the words: "all contents originally published by watchtower bible &tract society".

The Quiet One

Just a suggestion: To avoid the potential problems of people thinking the articles are fake or alerting them that its apostate material, why not just give the references and then let the jw's look them up on the cd-rom themselves? (articles have to be 1950-2011 for that, though, such as the resurrection/no resurrection ones I quoted earlier). Speaking from experience, it was looking up the references from jwfacts myself that convinced me apostates were not all a bunch of liars after all.. Hope this helps.

Literacy and eternal salvation

by dgp in

christianity began (or so goes the claim) as a group of mostly illiterate and poor fishermen.

most people were illiterate at the time.

so, the god of that religion, then, did not require that you be literate in order to be saved.

Is it true that only the awake will be to the public

by Dudu in

and the watchtower magazine will be only the one for study?.

Bagf said:''If the way you remember this is true, that is such a contradiction to the idea that we are responsible for the salvation of others through preaching.'' --'Black Sheep Re: Children of 1975 posted 10 months ago (10/20/2010) Post 5863 of 7970 Since 8/8/2003 But if you are saying they preached Armageddon will happen in '75 then that is just hearsay! The instructions were to not preach it..... But God help you if you didn't believe it. "Stay alive til 75" ' http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/200316/14/Children-of-1975
