  Deuteronomy 18: 20-22 and the FDS's failed prophesies.

  by braincleaned in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  when jw's come to my door, i don't tell them i am an ex, just because they will move on and you will not have helped them see the obvious.. so i show them this scripture, and the new wt of july 2013 makes it even easier to confirm that new light is just moving the goalposts.. if jehovah really exists, they are in for some heavy crapstorm from him!.

  deuteronomy 18: 20-22:.

  20however, the prophet who presumes to speak in my name a word that i have not commanded him to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die.. 21and in case you should say in your heart: how shall we know the word that jehovah has not spoken?.

  You are so right.

  I used to love ruminating on this scripture back in the good old days.

  Thank you for reminding me of this nugget of truth that sheds light on their lunacy.

  check out this awesome video - part 7 in a series where a mormon uses the witnesses as a proxy to figure out why his own faith is wrong.. sparlock, hassan's bite model, and even the 2013 "human apostates" convention talk all make cameos.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmesmlhydru.

  That poor, wretched child in the animation. They have even managed to make him look stressed and unhappily weighed down like a real Witness child.

  Just compare him to the other kids in the film.

  That alone should be enough to make most people see the sinister side of the cult.

  I'm sorry, but to impose that on a young mind is nothing less than child abuse.

  Not bitter-wow! I used to watch Lost in Space too during the 90's, always after the Ministry.

  Ha, we would always be out on a Sunday lunch-time just after the meeting. Very often I would hear the distinct rattle of cutlery being placed in the background.

  How rude is that, to pester people on a Sunday lunch-time?

  Wow, I'm genuinely stunned. This is definitely the best video I have seen on the subject.

  That animated film they use is really quite terrifying. Just the thought of people forcing their children to watch it is criminal.

  The woman's eyes look quite freakish (unsurprisingly I guess).

  I'm going to share it with friends.

  My Letter to Brooklyn about the Parousia that got me disfellowshipped

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is the letter i wrote back in '96 about the parousia.

  following the '95 watchtower that disconnected the "generation" from 1914 i began to look carefully at end-time prophecy and soon discovered what i knew were basic errors in what i had been taught.. i was a loyal jw at the time and was still serving as an elder.

  i used only watchtower publications in my research.

  Well done for trying Cofty but I would imagine your letter went right over their heads.

  You can't reason with the unreasonable ones.

  Still, I guess they understood enough of it to see that it exposed their lies and decided to punish you for it.

  Top marks anyway

  Why Jehovah's Witnesses Are Discouraged From Using the Internet

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at a recent series of circuit assemblies, the governing body put out warnings on what in their view is the latest danger from satan, designed to break the faith of jehovah's witnesses everywhere.. facebook.. yes, thats right, apparantly, the gb is concerned because a lot of people are having "facebook sex".

  they are meeting old friends who aren't jehovah's witnesses and getting it on with whomever would willingly sleep with them.

  evidentally, the gb would like their flock to believe that when jw's get on facebook and other social networking sites, fornication happens.. now, this is news.

  They fear everything that provides knowledge.

  Higher Education and the internet are their biggest enemies.

  There aren't any more corners for them to hide in so they lash out at anything they see as a threat.

  The internet throws light on them and they do not like that.

  Nice tid bit for those JW's that say Catholics are NOT Christian

  by sinis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in fact, it would seem that christianity was from the very beginning catholic... hmmmmm, how they fail when it comes to history.... .

  "the earliest evidence of the use of the term catholic church is the letter to the smyrnaeans that ignatius of antioch wrote in about 107 to christians in smyrna.

  exhorting christians to remain closely united with their bishop, he wrote: "wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever jesus christ is, there is the catholic church.

  You are quite correct.

  Learning about the history of the Church was the main thing that threw me out of the Watchtower.

  I quickly realized that the way the WTS is set up makes it a weak imitation of the Catholic Church and lacks any real credibility or authenticity.

  This is the real reason why the Witnesses fear the Catholic Church so.

  And their insecurity is the only reason they constantly slander and discredit it.

  I am not Catholic but I am inteligent and well informed enough to know that it is the only Church which can trace its history back to the Apostles.

  Every other avenue of Christianity is just a breakaway.

  Whether or not they were right to break away is a hotly debated topic and an argument I won't engage in.
