Things in the Bible that the JWs don't follow/practice.

by UBM101 in

i am pretty annoyed to read/hear them saying that they are the true christian religion because they preach, follow the bible bla..bla..bla... let's list down the things in the bible that they don't follow/do.

i'm sure they are plenty.. the fruits of the holy spirit, that's for a start.. .

MAtt. 28:19:"......baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy spirit". I have NEVER heard those words in a baptism talk.....and I was 'in' for over 50 as M.S., elder, school overseer, B.S. conductor, etc, etc.

Discussion w/ Wife: I Welcome Your Suggestions

by breakfast of champions in

so these last few wts have definitely eroded my wife's faith in the org.

she is definitely seeing the bs, and i even overheard her talking openly about it to a family member.

good for her!.

A favorite example of mine is the jdubs own illustration of a glass of water with just a bit of contamination (dirt is good, but I like to use urine or defacation in my examples).....would you be inclined to drink it down; or even just sip from it? Any scripture that backs up the thought of 'not going beyond what is written' --or-- 'a little leaven ferments the whole lump' may tip the scales more towards clear thinking. Turning their own arguments against them leaves little room for defense.

OK....maybe I'm naive (or maybe just stupid)......is this really a WT site?? I tend to think it is because there is no ID marks. Geez, I'll have to go back and see who "contact us" leads to.....

i have WT archive books all the way back to 1952, all about to be trashed, should i save something?

by roid in

my 90+ yr old grandfather was a jw elder, he's in a nursing home now & we're sorting through his old stuff.. has a lot of jw books, including wt archive compilation books all the way back to 1952. this stuff will probably all be thrown out.

we're all moving house so continuing to store it all would be a pain in the ass.. i remember hearing that the wtbts changed a lot of stuff when they transcribed all the books to dvd (and continue to deny it).

i've never actually bothered looking into it, but it'd be nice to be able to have some hard evidence i can later throw into people's faces >:] .. so, are there any good ones i should save?

mauiboy

I got rid of all my WT crap and regretted it when I wanted to prove that certain statements were made but couldn't because I trashed the lot of it. If you can afford to store it, you may later be gald you did. Whats on-line is limited and doesn't go back very far. If you were raised a Jdub, as I was, there's much to be said for being able to back up your claims of what was and wasn't said thru the literature.

Memorial attendance in the USA a DROP of 59,404 from two years ago

by Watchtower-Free in

according to the september 2013 kingdom ministry, the memorial attendance in the usa this year was 2,504,114. this is a drop of 59,404 from two years ago!

mauiboy

If it continues to drop there will undoubtedly be some "NEW LIGHT" concerning the love of the greater number cooling off. See, fulfillment of prophecy: proof that these are the last days, and Jehovah is backing his people by using them to fulfill the prophets.........duh.

What is new about the Candace Conti trial

by smiddy in

whats new in the latest developments.

Both the WT and McCabe have submittted final briefs and requested oral arguments (rather then relying on the brief to represent them). Thats what I have surmised from the couthouse updates I get by email......the terminology of which I usually have to google to understand. So, this is what I boiled all the legal-ese down to.

Does God's word apply to God?

by mauiboy in

the tv news about syria is truly disgusting, and it is only the tip of a much bigger situation that has been going on for milleniums.

:"mans inhumanity to man".

but i can't get the scripture at james 4:17 out of my mind.

The TV news about Syria is truly disgusting, and it is only the tip of a much bigger situation that has been going on for milleniums.:"Mans inhumanity to man". But I can't get the scripture at James 4:17 out of my mind. "Therefore, if one knows how to do what is right and yet does not do it, it is a sin for him." Unless Jehovah God has a second set of rules for us and him, how can this not be corrected by Him? Or is he letting his own word condemn him? If we are to strive to be like him, then there is no limit to the wrongdoing. He does, after all, have the power to correct all the crap going on in the world.....is His not using that power "a sin for him"?

Would like your input on creating a Quiz regarding failed Jw doctrine

by notjustyet in

for the benefit of my children and others that you think might enjoy it.. i recently bought a 40.00 program that allows a teacher or other person to create a quiz or test for students.

i can enter all the info into the quiz and make it available to any and all that want to visit it online to take the quiz but i need help in coming up with some good questions and also the right answers.

the objective is to be able to relevent info into my childrens minds so that they will have less of a chance of being brought back into this cult in the near future.

This is a very simple question asking why JW's don't follow clear Bible instructions given by Jesus: Matt.28:19 says clearly that followers are to be baptized "in the name of the Father, The Son, and the holy spirit". Why don't JW's follow this requirement in their beptismal preocess?
