  The Jehovah's Witness religion has gone for good !!!

  i am not sure how you all feel as we all left at different times for different reasons.... but this new bible seems to have put some final nails into a coffin that was once my jw life.

  the religion is so far and so different to the religion i grew up in that it has become something i feel no affiliation with anymore, no bond, no shared ideas or even sentimental views.

  different teachings on when the end is coming.

  SandR, you have elequently put how I have been feeling for some time. I was baptised in 1964 at age 12. I hardly recognise this religion. One would think that a revised religion would be new and improved. However, it was bad then and it's worse now.

  What's with all the JWs unleashing the hate!?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of us here on jwn, while we can get a bit narky at times, can put forth intelligent arguments and sound observations.

  sure we can get bogged down with our opinions, but generally we back up our opinions with examples and evidence, and if someone has a different opinion with examples and evidence, we accept that without recriminations.

  that's what adults do.. so my question is, why in the last week or so, have a couple of posters claiming to be jws come onto this forum and berated, spewed hate and judgement, and in some cases verbally attacked members personally?

  My opinion, for what it's worth, is that a JW who is willing to break the GB rules of reading/associating with "apostates" is either a closet "dissenter" who wants to convince himself that the WTS is really the "truth", or counting time, or just plain wacky.

  Way to make parents feel like loosers if their kids delay baptism. Way to make kids "accountable" and shunnable. (is that a word?) Control, control, control. I wouldn't be surprised if a brother whose kids are not baptised by their teens would not be considered for appointment to MS or Elder.

  RNWT: Page 1767: About 1914

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in appendix b1, there is a timeline for the message of the bible.

  on the second page of that appendix, there is a small section entitled "about 1914", what is this?

  don't you find it odd that they use the word "about"?

  I was taught (early 60's) that WWI was a DISTRACTON that Satan used AHEAD OF TIME to keep people from noticing the ending of the Gentile Times and the beginning of Jesus Christs Rule/ beginning of the "time of the end". That Christ's first act as King was to oust Satan from the heavens. Eventually, as the society kept dumbing things down they let WWI be associated with proof that the "Last Days" had started.

  brazen conduct, dissensions

  by hoser in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as predicted by jwn loose conduct has been replaced by brazen conduct.

  galations 5:19 2 peter 2:2 .

  a catch all phrase for apostates.

  Hamsterbait, EXACTLY! The obvious purpose of changing contensions to dissensions is to have a Biblical excuse to tighten control.

  A small observation from the AGM...

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...but it struck me as significant anyway.. i attended at a jw assembly hall, and was sitting behind a pretty typical jw family.

  2 kids about ages 8 & 5, frazzled hen-pecked husband, and....the mom.

  the lady of the house.

  Sir 82, your observation is typical of so many sisters I know. At one time I (shudders) think I may have been kinda like that.
