  From A Bublical Point Of View Did You Ever Think The Trinity Doctrine Made Sense?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i see no logic in it.

  i see what appears to be some scriptural contradictions but i see no merit in a trinitarian view of god.. .

  Why do you come here?

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i come here to learn, but i also come here because it feels like a private club and i'm privy to be a member of the "in" crowd.

  it's a great place to socialize.

  does anyone else feel that they are a member of a special "club" when they come here, that only some people in this world will understand the jw world?.

  I really don't know.

  I've spent some time recently reviewing some of my old posts and even though Ive not been a witness for some years it still feels sort of alien, weird, to have posted some of the things I have.

  I find it irritates me that I've felt a need to. It irritates me that I've had to defend my position when ive spoken to elders. It goes against the grain for me.

  Let's Say 1914 Was The Establishment of God's Kingdom....what is the significance?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  as hillary clinton might say, what difference does it make???.

  even if god's kingdom was established in 1914, why is that such a big deal?

  other than unprovable actions in heaven, what can jws say is the significance of it all...with a straight face?.

  Why I Refuse to Accept the term APOSTATE

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  been going back in forth with my mom (who is a longtime pioneer and dyed-in-the-wool jw) about the term apostate.

  she has labeled me one because of my fading and because i stopped attending meetings a few years ago.

  i told her that i refuse to accept the term apostate because its a lazy way for the wts to not deal with dissenters and address why people are leaving this organization in droves.

  just an addition to my previous post,

  In the book Jehovah's Witnesses Proclaimers of God's Kingdom (WT 1993) page 120

  'Jehovah's Witnesses have not set out to introduce new doctrines, a new way of worship, a new religion'

  I believed they were true christians and i baptised as a christian and still believe in christianity.

  In the same book on page 12/13

  'So a witness relates facts from direct personal knowledge, or he proclaims views or truths of which he is convinced.'

  i am no longer convinced enough regarding the events of 1914 to preach, witnessing about it but i haven't abandoned my religion.

  i dont believe I am an apostate. To be a witness one must be certain sure. Due to certain changes in teachings I am no longer feel convinced and there fore could not be a witness. I didn't make the changes that left me uncertain.

  People in my dreams can surprise me by things they say - for instance asking me a question to which I do not know the answer - and then they tell me the answer (but how can that be if everything is generated in my own brain?).

  i had similar, thought it was strange.

  Question for those converted to JW as adults

  by DaleRivers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why did you become a jw, what particular teachings attracted you to 'the truth' ?.

  .

  in my case (baptized at 20/21) it was the only religion i knew; my mom, her mom, and favorite sister were jw; and the teachings of no hellfire or immortal soul made sense to me.. .

  i was raised from infancy. it was my mother that accepted a study with the witnesses, my father was very into politics and he wanted to meet them to show them they were wrong. he said he couldn't.
