can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.
i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.
in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.
Duran, analysing the doctrines that once held us all captive is helpful. It helps former cult members understand where they've come from and how they were mislead. It's part of the awakening process and gives confidence to take those first steps to freedom.
Evangelising for your particular religious point of view is unhelpful and unwelcome. There is a huge difference between promoting and analysing.
Make the effort to understand that.

There's your first one right there Simon 🙄

Hear, hear Blondie. You've expressed the concerns I've also had for a while. A handful of fundamentalists bent on proving some theological point or other (as if it matters).
Imagine a doubting JW coming here for the first time and seeing that. What a complete lack of awareness.
Not sure what the answer is, I totally understand Simon not investing so much of his time here after a quarter century of dealing with it all
Perhaps we should all get involved in those threads to bang a few heads together?
a change to their doctrine came from jackson.
this isn't a transcript of his whole speech but i thought i would try and get some of his main speech in writing.. at around 1hr26 minutes he starts talking about some dangerous thinking in feeling there is some wiggle room in regards to the schedule for the gt.
but you see, we need to be careful about what we are thinking about the number of anointed ones left on earth.
KerryKing:
WT corporations are signed up to WEF organisations which are trying to bring all religions together. WT is actively involved up to the eyeballs
Can you back this up? Do you have any proof at all that WT are collaborating with the World Economic Forum to "bring all religions together"?
I can wait 🙄

uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Watchtower has a way of ruining marriages.
Jabba did this all by himself. He'd love everyone to agree with you so that he can pass at least some of the blame elsewhere but the reality is he was cheating on his wife. Lying, cheating, manipulating and publicly degrading his wife.
Did I miss anything?
sea breeze: @nicolau,i stated my case rather succiently, which you failed to address.
if you have a better solution to the problem of evil than what jesus offers, then why don't you present that in a new topic?.
pathetic diversion.
According to his post history blondie he stopped posting the day after his last post on this topic. That's over two weeks ago.
I berated him often but still, hope he's ok.

Hmm, anyone know what's happened to Sea Breeze?

you have just touched on a flawed doctrinal belief that is foundational to false religion.. first, it is important to understand what false religion means when they call themselves jehovah’s witnesses.
by this, they declare themselves to be “witnesses of the father” despite the fact that jehovah is not the name of god at all, but a concoction of human origin from the dark ages.. here is the flaw:.
Vanderhoven: Is it even possible for ANYONE to be a witness of the Father?The answer to that from the Bible is No!
Jesus said to Philip "He who has seen me has seen the Father"
i never start topics like this normally but this has really wound me up.
romulus is getting great reviews and i just don't understand it.
it was predictable, formulaic fanfiction.. it brought nothing new, quite the opposite in fact.

It brought nothing new, quite the opposite in fact. The first four movies gave us Ripley's arc, Prometheus and Covenant would have brought us full circle with a more cerebral development of the central themes and origins of the whole story.
For 60 year olds like me who watched Alien in the cinema as a stunned teenager in 1979 that was so rewarding but now we've been robbed of the final prequel because audiences with modern attention spans can't handle 10 minutes without an action scene.
Romulus sucked.
