  Lies taught by the GB about ....Life, Worldy people & apostates

  by williamhconley in

  1. jw

  the governing body not only lies to it's members about their true history but also about life itself, worldly people and former members.. here are some of those lies that come to my mind.. .

  "jw's are the happiest people on earth" -.

  fact: depression, anxiety, fear of punishment, paranoia, is what jw's live with every day.

  hello everyone just wanted to relate a situation that occurred a few days ago.

  so i have quit going to meetings for a few months now based on some issues i have with the explanations of current doctrines.

  my wife is none too happy with this but over the last few months we have had some date nights and have tentitively agreed to disagree.

  Hi GoUnion. Sounds like you are on the way out :) Best of luck for you.

  I need to disagree with some of you, guys. I know a lot of elders who have liberal way of thinking about many things. This doesn't mean they are not ignorant and brainwashed in 80% of the time. The elders from my cong are aware of the fact that I'm reading apostate stuff and that I'm not afraid of sharing these things with others, yet they don't do anything. The last time they wanted to come to visit me I told them it had no use as I don't base my decisions on their shepherding. I beleive it's a teritorial thing.

  Memorial 2014: Wrong date?

  by AnnOMaly in

  2. bible

  this was meant to have nice inserted pictures and tidy hyperlinks but the forum's being glitchy today.

  so unfortunately it's going to be a messy post where you're going to have to exercise your tapping fingers and click on the links to the pics to see what i'm referring to.

  sorry about that.. in the article recently studied "do this in remembrance of me" (w13 12/15), there is a box on p. 23 giving the date of this year's memorial and how that date is arrived at.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013926.

  Yes, I think some level of ambiguity enters into the discussion when it's about things we can only study remotely, but that's only when it comes to what was before the Big Bang, string theory, all those Morgan Freeman stuff :D However in most bracnhes of science that doesn't apply. I admit that I need to read more about how they get those figures, I always wondered about that. I'm gonna study geology in this semester; I finally get to understand how they calculate the age of the Earth and will be able to show jws that scientists don't just pull out those figures from their pocket.

  I agree with you, and regarding my college education: thank you. I'm studying petroleum engineering. Please don't judge, it was the best option for me in my country.

  DJS and the others: Can you please tell me which part of my post made you think that I don't accept evolutionism as a fact?

  What I was trying to say is that I noticed a tendency of not respecting others' beleifs I'm an engineering student, I'm familiar with the methods and logic. After reading some posts around here I got this impression that there is no room for those who have other views.

  Jam used a popular cliche in the title, but that doesn't conclude that he thinks Armageddon must be coming because Hawaii police officers now can have sex with prostitutes. Some people here are doing what they despise the most: making up rules about how one should think about certain things. Should we ignore every bad news now, because caring about morality means that you are still a brainwashed jw?

  AndDontCallMeShirley, I think we can mark this thread as "lawyered" (HIMYM reference).
