Can i defend my Faith?
by mrbunyrabit inso i thought ill check to see how "strong" the things are i believe in.
im still hooked to allot of the wts's teachings, and i still believe in allot of them , even thought i have enough questions of my own to start my own bible school.. so what would you ask me as a "witness" now, so i can try and defend my faith and by doing so, that i might learn something about myself, and what i believe in..

Anybody else noticed this?
by Godsendconspirator in1 john 4:8 ~ "...god is love.
" self explanitory.. 1 corinthians 13:4 ~ "...love is not jealous..." so since god is love, that would mean he is not jealous as well, right?....
exodus 34:14 ~ "because jehovah, whose name is jealous, he is a jealous god".

1 John 4:8 ~ "...God is love." Self explanitory.
1 Corinthians 13:4 ~ "...love is not jealous..." so since God is love, that would mean he is not jealous as well, right?...
Exodus 34:14 ~ "because Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, he is a jealous God"
Deuteronomy 4:24 ~ "For Jehovah your God is a consuming fire, a God exacting exclusive devotion" The reference bible says it can also be “a God who is jealous (zealous); a God not tolerating rivalry."
Zechariah 1:14 ~ "This is what Jehovah of armies has said: “I have been jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great jealousy." Zecharaiah 8:2 ~ "“This is what Jehovah of armies has said, ‘I will be jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and with great rage I will be jealous for her.’"
Just wondering if anybody else caught this? -

Bullet list of major (recent) changes
by RN init is with great interest that i recently read ceders article on the decline of the wts.
his article along with many of the comments really drives home just how many major changes there have been in a fairly short peroid of time.. somewhere in the recent past i could swear that someone had posted a bullet list of major changes with the corresponding year.
when i saw this (or something like it) my first thought was that this simple list made it all the more shocking; and since i have searched and cannot find anything like it.. so i dug around and started one of my own, please feel free to add/corrects events.

2005 - The year the Society began its decline (without anyone noticing)!
by cedars ini've just finished an article for randy over on freeminds.org, which i've submitted to him for review.
hopefully it should be online soon, so please keep checking!.
the article discusses the fact that the watch tower society is already in decline, and suggests the year 2005 as the turning point.

Does anybody else think that if the Watchtower were to go broke, the last article they would print would say it's because they are finally in the Great Tribulation and this system will end within the year?

People leave the Org but don't drop the doctrine?
by Momma-Tossed-Me inthis deserved its own thread.
one thing i have observed being able to speak freely to individuals now about the wtbts is that even though they fade, they hold one to all or a portion of the doctrine.. if you examine the doctrine openly and fully you will see it has as many holes in it as the org does.
although it may appeal to you it doesn't make it sound scripturally.

I left for doctrinal reason. I always said that I became a Witness because I learned the truth through the bible and when I did actual research and found out the holes in their doctrine and their dirty past, I decided to leave. It took me a while cuz hey, it's a cult and it took a little while to accept that the Witnesses were wrong. I loved every bit of it but I reasoned with myself that I converted because I thought they had the truth. Now that I've learned that they were wrong, it would be hypocritical to stay.

No no no. You misunderstood! Jehovah is our savoir THROUGH Jesus! It makes perfect sense.

Do the Jehovah Witnesses break up families?
by trailerfitter inthe answer is yes in my case.
for some of you wonderful people on here will remember i asked a few questions and was concerned about my wife becoming a jehovahs witness,...well, she is baptised now and fully fleged (committed).. i have been called possessed by satan , mentally ill, a schitzophrenic and was beaten emotionally and mentally.
eventually i had to leave our house after 2 years of this situation getting worse.

I have a friend. When I met his mom for the first time, I told her I was a Jehovah's Witness. She told me she studied when she was younger with her parents when they lived in Florida. She said they had to stop because her mom was more responsive than her dad and the Witnesses were trying to break them up.
Sick people we have in this world. I'm sorry you have to go through this. -

When I was talking to a sister she said "evolution makes no sense because it's impossible for everything to come to be from one little bacteria." Because the universe being created in a week out of nothing by an invisible man makes SO much more sense.

Who really is the Evil Slave
by Nambo innow matthew 24 was written about the end times, which i do belive we are fast approaching, (as opposed to 100 years ago), at verse 48 we read of a religion that isnt a false religion for it has been classed as a slave of the "master" who is jesus.. now this evil slave has two identifying features i wish to ponder, it considers jesus arrival to be late, this implies a religion that has set an expectation of jesus arrival at a certain time for said non-arrival to be considered delayed.. it also beats its fellow slaves or religious brothers as a result of this delay.. .
the first point, which christian religions have been waiting for the masters arrival for such a long time that they now consider him delayed, obviously delayed from the time they where expecting him.. .
having read crisis of conscience and read accounts of annointed who have been disfellowshipped or beaten by thier fellow slaves in the organisation, and especially over the 1914 doctrine which ties the being beaten to the delay.. can you think of any other christian religion that fullfils the criteria for evil slave more than the watchtower society?.

That depends. Can you really call the Governing Body or the Watchtower in general, "Christian"?
