Turn back on God because of WTS or JW's??

by IWish4Truth in

jw
friends

in my opinion, it's one thing to not agree with organizations that impose certain rules upon it's members, but it's quite another to turn one's back on god himself because of disagreements.

is there not still some higher power out there who has the best interest of humans at heart?

how can it be denied, especially in these terrible times, that something or someone is gonna have to step in and take over and end this havoc.

Rich,

It is people like these who will use thier bitterness towards the Soctiety to actually turn away from Serving God.

I went though that stage myself. Most people who were not raised as a Jehovah's Witness became one because of their sincere desire to serve the true God. Or it is easier for them to keep sinning and blame the JWS and use it as an excuse.

The reason why I created the Christian Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses Club On Yahoo (Link is Below) is a place for those of us who still hold Conservative Christian Values and won't be riducled for expressing them. I like to invite you and anyone else if they like to join.

I am a Conservative Christian, but in no way do I make fun of others or Bible beat them. YOu maybe surprise there is more XJWS who are Conservative Christian than you think. Most Conservative still believe in the Fundamental baisc of tthe Bible and Christian fatih.

I was able to accept true Jesus after being a Jehovah's Witness. Today, I have a great relationship with him. The simplicity of that relationship which is not only amazing but experincing the freedom with out fear which the Watcthower has to add to being a Christian. (JW)

I became a Jehovah's Witness because of my sincere desire to Serve Jehovah and Jesus in the first place.

How Women are treated in the WTS - from the Awake!

below is a scanned article from the august 22, 1967 awake!

magazine that deals with women and why they don't hold positions of authority in the wachtower.

metatron brought this subject up a few months ago and someone was nice enough to give me the actual article.

I have to sorley disagree how the Wt has abuse thsi headship concept.

Being a Messianic Jew, and Born-Again Christian, I understood what Paul was talking about. I am also married.

It talking about leadership of the family. Last and fianl decision is the husbands. A good husband already has the repect of his wife and she will respect his decsions. A good husband will have earned his wife and children's respect.

A good husband will take in consideration of his wife feelings, and views.

But why don't the Organization also print the Scriptures to also show the responsibility and punishment for abuse of such headship?

I find men who use this Scripture to get htier wives to "Obey," them want to control them.

O agree they blame the Society for everything that has gone wrong in their lives.

I felt the Wt made it easy for people to live in denial of their problems. If they had a problem with a "Wordly Person," in the back of their minds they were another class of citizen. Many would view the Worldly person rebuke or critisim as a farm of "Attack," angasit Jehovah (WT) and his People (JWS) The JW may have never stop to consder maybe it was their own behavior and the JW may be in the wrong.

Same thought as if something were going on in the KH, ORG, or if they had a rift with another JW. Don't question or say mcuh because Jehovah will take of the problem in his due time. so discussions and confrontation would be avoided. Also it put the JW in the victim role and kept them there.

A true Christian will try to solve the problem and take responsiblity for the actions. It is very important that every person must do some soul searching. JW mentality prevents any from of personal growth.

There are times when a Christian is persicuted for their fatih. As a Chrsitin we must discern between what is an attack for our fatih and what is not.

I found 2 yeara after I left the Wt, I hated anything religious.

I h ad to come in touch with the fact I was Mad at Jehovah. Until I was able to relize teh fact the Jehovah is not the Watchtower organization and sepreate the 2, I would have not love God either.

Today, I am able to seperate the 2. I am now a Born Again Christian who is a Messianic Jew and serve the True God and His son Yeshua (Jesus). Is it not why most memebers became Jehovha's Witnesses in the first place?

10 REASONS WHY JWS STAY IN THE TOWER

by Victor_E in

jw
friends

reason 1. jws use a cultic language that keeps them in a constant state of social hypnosis.

transformational grammar teaches that our language directly affects our subjective experience.

in working with some former jws i had to confiscate certain words and have them create substitutes for something that was more neutral.

nowaytess

It also many time a Witness does leave, but has nothing to replace a large void in their lives. Most imes this is more of the case than anything else.

The Wt creates a social envoriment if not relace most would go back. pure and simple.

I have to disagree with you here. These guys are the Masters of Deceit. In fact I have a Website on what i really think of them:

Jehovah's Witnesses must be having a hard time at the doors these days.

Those commercials work fo the LDS, so why not? The investment will boost up not only sales but membership.

it's great to be free

by javagal in

well i promised myself i wasn't going to let my jw parents in on what the borganization is holding back from them but i did it today anyways... i couldn't stand one more minute of their "wonderful" religion and how terrific it all is so i said that i was watching the news (this forum is quite informative - could be called news :) ) and then told her the entire story about the un and the jw's involvement with it.... but of course she can't believe that and if it is true there must be a reason for it.

i said i couldn't think of any reason to be part of the "disgusting thing"....that was completely true i didn't tell her that the disgusting thing was the wtbts not the un... so anyways long and short of it is that she is going to have to wait and see if it is tru.

she is certain the watchtower will explain why very soon and if not it doesn't matter she knows that she is in the right organization.

nowaytess

the woman who I orgianlly study with told me if the Watchtower organiztion told her to kill someone if " Jehovah though his Organization" told them in a holy war, she would. That scared me half to death.

Shameless JW exploitation of Sept. 11

by Jigrigger in

jw
friends

here's yet another example showing how dubs will shamelessly exploit a tragedy like sept. 11 to peddle more of their worthless publications.. from greatcrowd.net:.

has anyone seen the new awake magazine as of yet?

the front cover is very strikeing showing the aftermath of the attack on the world trade center.

nowaytess

I knew at some poin tthe JW would use this tradgey to bolster themselves.
