  The JWs are imperfect, so what?

  by Rocky_Girl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a common reply to any evidence given about false doctrines taught by the witnesses.. we all know that every religion has its faults and scandals.

  so why do we tolerate these imperfections in those faiths and not in the witnesses?.

  my answer: because other faiths admit that they are basing their doctrines on faith alone or tradition.

  Were there 2 witnesses when you were DFd?

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  of the some 70,000 disfellowshippings each year (some 1% of the membership) most were for sexual misconduct.

  of these, i think i'm safe to say that very few were witnessed by a third party.

  that means that both participants had to voluntarily confess in order to satisfy their 2-witness rule.. know of any that didn't meet this rule?.

  Update on my Uncle.

  by LouBelle in

  it is so difficult to watch someone you love die slowly.

  my uncle has terminal prostate cancer - that is how it started and developed from there to invade the bladder, urinary tract, urethra.

  the doctors could not operate on him as he would more than likely die on the operating table.. he chose to fight.

  Did you fake underlining the WT?

  by shepherd in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read on another topic " i remember when i used to carry microphones years ago in the jw cult- only about 30 % had their wt's pre-studied, the rest just wing it i truly believe" and it reminded me that people will assume you are not familiar with the material if you have not underlined, and that there will always be those who observe the lack of ink and consider you must be unprepared (and so 'weaker' than them).. many times i used to fake prestudy just for that reason.

  its easy to do, underline a random sentence or 2 in each paragraph or the sited scripture.

  you can wizz through an entire article in 3 minutes....did anyone else do that?.

  i need to know if jehovahs witnesses are actually told to ....

  by looloo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  completly ignore disfellowshipped children and never speak at all to them , also what about the children of the disfellowshipped children that are growing up unaware of the "truth " ?

  im thinking of writing to my inlaws who have never bothered with our child for two and a half years to tell them to just walk on by if they see us as it would confuse her if they saw us and acted as though nothing has happened .

  then they will be good jws and obediant to the watchtower and not blame us for not letting them see her which is what they lie and tell people !.

  by ranmac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this has already been discussed but i need to vent.. i just spent the most painful weekend of my life sitting thru this years dc.

  what an unbelievably pointless, soulless and demeaning spectacle the assemblies are.

  the three days were a blur of monotanous droning and brainwashing.
