  Question for Believers: Is there a “Maximum” Age for Becoming a True Believer?

  by Yan Bibiyan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i started with christians in mind, but broadened the scope to include all faiths.. question is posed to help solve a dilemma:.

  if yes what is that age and what is the scriptural basis.. if no why do believers insist on forcing their children to become believers at a very young age?

  if when they turn adults and decide that they want to worship a particular deity, that deity will welcome them regardless of age.. without a doubt, the mind of a child is like a sponge and activities and surrounding at a young age leave a lasting impression on the path to adulthood.. if we, as parents, are striving to provide a well-balanced upbringing, strive to teach our children diversity, insist on or live to provide a better life for our offspring, why on earth are we indoctrinating them with a set of one-sided values that are often tattooed on them for life?.

  so my husband (who was never a jw) saw a christian bumper sticker today and asked me if the witnesses have any.

  i said no (not that i know of anyway) so here are a few he came up with.. 'honk if you're a zombie'.

  'my other car is noah's ark'.

  for years, i was told this..... " anyone who leaves the org is bitter, sad, and worse off, why do you think they come back???

  guess what guys i am the opposite, now i quit cold-turkey (looking back, i should have faded correctly) i am planning on going to the memorial this month just to hear all "the friends" tell me how much they missed me.

  since i have left the meetings, (jan. was my last meeting, i think).

  born in attended meetings till JR High when Mom said Dad is not going to meetings we're not going to meetings.( dad was DF'f for smoking)

  Partied like a Rock Star Played like and All Star , hammered like a Porn Star though High school..

  Then after High School A void was felt, as all my friends were gone to college.. was reintroduced by cunning JW's looking to reindoctrinate former flock memebers..

  Baptised in 84-85 Df'd in 87 .. left after one year of meeting attentance and had turned in reinstatement letter.. when I asked elder on JC if he had gotten it .. he shrugged and looked away and said "meh"

  I walked out that door of the KH that day and said I serve Jah not men in an ORG.. and never returned..

  so three years... regular pioneered and aux .. two trips to bethel on two week work deals as electrician

  edit to note: but I still believed they had the TRUTH till a year or so ago... never researched ..

  Fictious "Universal Sovereignty" Issue Proposed By Watchtower Corporation Is Idiotic

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok so a big part of the wt corporation ideological structure is the invention of the issue before all creation being "universal sovereignty".. the story goes like this very basically:.

  for untold years jehovah's soverneignty was never challenged, then after so many millions of years jehovahs started his earthly creation with adam&eve being the culmination of that work.

  soon afterwards satan seduces eve to disobey jehovah and thus we have the very first act of disobedience satan slanders god by telling eve god is selfish as to the reason he forbids eating this other wise nice looking fruit adam joins his wife in the rebellion.. god in his infinite wisdom allows this rebellion because this was a challenge to his sovereingty and so he is allowing a reasonable amount of time to let mankind and angels see for themselves that his rulership is better that satan's.. so basically it is like a bet he has with satan or who's rulership is best, and he's allowing time to prove his is far superior.. well if you look at it logically it don't add up.. 1. if god is going to allow satan to prove his point about who's rulership is better why is he alway interfereing and interveining that's unfair.. 2. god goes on killing sprees of people man women and chilldren (not very smart for some trying to prove his rulership is better for people to follow.. 3. god show himself to be jealous (not a good trait for a ruler to endear himself to people).. 4. god's scare people to except his ruler ship.. and i have even more reason to show the whole idea is a made up sham..

  What are the JW's up to now days?

  by ForbiddenFruit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i left around 4 years ago, my family have pretty much left me alone after the first year of harassment, but in the last 6 months i've been hearing about 'the end' a lot again.

  so i'm basically wondering if anything has happened?

  if anything specific has gone on in the last 6 months (or few years since i've left) to make my family get all zealous about me going back to the 'truth' again?

  I think they still have to read all the magazines and go to all the meetings and out in service and not be friends with anyone who isn't one of them...

  And make sure not to have any fun or make to much money...

  and always be thanking Jehvova for the Faitful and Discreat Slob... for guiding them to salvation through the glorious publications..

  so you haven't missed Much..
