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

  by IWish4Truth in

  1. jw
  2. 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.

  Well maybe you can see the consequnce.

  If a person smokes cigarettes, they may get cancer. It is a consequnce of smoking.

  If you eat a diet of junk food, high fat, and empty calories with out exercising, you mostl likely suffer a lifestyle/diet related disease.

  If a person has a substance/alchol abuse problem they can not only suffer phyiscal problems, but emotinal and family problems.

  If a person (male or female) abuses another person the results are break down of relationships, injury, and even death.

  If a person cheats on thier spouse a consequnce can a divorce, break down of the family, children having problems, etc. You don't have to be a Godly perosn to see how today ingnoring his principles are the root of many of today's problems,

  God tells us no for our own good. He created mankind and know what the results of our action are before we do things.

  Most people who are not raised as JWS and came inot the Organization has a very good reason. I know myself they appeared clean and mure more organized than the churches I attended. I desire even as a teen-ager to serve God. I still do even though I am no longer a Jehovah's Witness.

  I guess you know me so well. I ma sorry you feel the way you do.

  I just live and let live. Gos will judge all mankind, not just me.

  I am very fortunate I live in the Untied States, we have the freedom to worship any way we choose. My mother-in-law is very much into New Age movement. We have a lot of discussion, but in no way do I disrespect her or look down on her. We have great respect for one another even though she told me she will never accept Jesus.

  I just preach the gospel of Jesus.

  If a person choses to sin, that is their choice, but the person also must bear the consequnces of such actions. You can make fun of me all you want, but what I am telling is the truth.

  Jesus ate with sinners and was among them. If they chose to follow hiam and accepted him as the Messiah, they also turned thier lives around. Yes, these sinners made a choice not only to follow Jesus but to get right with God. That is why Jesus died for us, so we have the chance to get right with him.

  His love, mercy and grace is not a license to sin. From looking at your profile you live in teh Netherlands. I have to assume you guys have a more liberal political and religous enviroment. It shape the way you think and view things.

  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.

  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

  1. jw
  2. 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.

  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.
