  when ever I see some one who comments on every single comment, whether those said comments are directed at them or not..

  it's one of those things that make me go HUmmmmm ... why a person feels compeled to answer everything and everyone on a thread they didn't start..

  they must THINK they are pretty smart!!'

  on the other hand the ones who answer everyone on the threads they start .. I'm like wow they are very sharp.. example Terry

  sorry if this is off topic but, with the activity on this thread it's tough to ignore .. I felt compeled to comment.. I've had this observation for some time and no where to share it ..

  Elders who criticized brothers talks for being TOO strict?

  by toto555 in

  did this ever happen to you?

  did you ever try to teach god's word the way it was supposed to be rendered only to deal with elders and others who wanted you to "tone it down" or have your "words seasoned with salt" although you weren't saying anything wrong.

  you were just telling the truth and they didn't want to hear it.

  It's all about control... it's like them telling me the end is near .. the end is near .. as soon as I say it.....

  It's .." simmer down you don't wanna serve jehovah for a date .. nobody knows the hour "

  I'm not serving for a date .. then why be in a dooms day cult.. LOL

  How can one understand unusual personal experiences such as when going from door-to-door?

  by Fernando in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  given that i know how corrupt, dishonest and evil the watchtower is, i have wondered how to understand a personal experience i had many years ago - long before walking out mid-2009.. after an unusual series of many "co-incidences" on a particular sunday, my friend and i ended up at the door of someone who had been praying to god for someone to be sent to him, and who was expecting us.. i am still convinced it was by divine intervention, but cannot understand why a prayer is answered by sending representatives of an apostate organisation.. also when taking up residence in a foreign country, under very difficult circumstances, i twice ended up "inadvertently" moving in to homes just around the corner from the kh.

  on one occasion it was about a 15 metre walk from my front door right into my seat in the kh!.

  have you had similar experiences?.

  you were going door to door for what you thought was God .. you ended up at the door of someone who was praying to God ...for someone to come to his door..

  You were not there for God but, but a book publishing company.. so no prayer was answered...

  let me bottom line it for you .. you were going door to door .. chances are pretty good that some one might have prayed before you got there..

  It happened to me more than once in my fields service experience..

  you go to enough doors something will end up seeming intentional ,

  it would be odd if that scenario never happened .. what are the odds of going door to door looking for people looking for God and you never found ONE.. very slim

  hope that puts it into perspective .. it is what is .. not divine intervention

  So some details were not meant to be understood at first.

  or later or ever ... so you can never know when your understanding is correct.... with that logic..

  we've been wrong countless times... but we got it now .. not then .. now .. not yet ... now .. hold on missed again .. right now .. now we got it for sure..

  The watchtower couldn't look any stupider...

  sorry Ray I didn't think a " the bible is crap post" was out of line on a thread where believers are trying to figure out if Jesus is a liar...

  really you believe in him for salvation... but wait, help me with this verse it apears he might be lying... I'm not sure .lol

  you are still my hero .. I'm glad you made it out of one cult...

  what proves jw's aren't true?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am inactive and it took years of doubt to convince myself the jw's arent true.

  i started doubting because i hated the idea that jehovah would kill 6 billion non-jw's.

  the thing now that is the most important proof for me is that until 1954 jw's worshipped jesus and it is still in the watchtower charter, even though you now get disfellowshipped for worshipping jesus.

  It always bothered me that, when in the door to door work, with a zealous MS future elder, householder wanted free in home bible study without WT publication ..

  He would say, " we could BUT... yadda yadda... yadda ... run away "

  then as we were running away tell me," Well we could BUT.. when someone says that .. it's obvious they don't have the right heart condition.."

  great thread.. interesting the posters still at it all these years....

  When You Were A JW---What "Motivated" You To "Do More"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most witnesses that i knew of were spurred on by hearing a talk designed to make them feel guilty over their not doing enough.

  co's visits, assemblies and conventions motivated a few to pioneer, "reach out", etc......soon after the talks, usually, in less than a month, everyone went right back to slacking again.. did you feel "motivated" due to guilt when you were an active witness?.

  I was motivaed out of love to do more .. until they started with the " you have to Hate what jehovah Hates""

  then I started to want to do less.... and I didn't want to be in the org .. I just want to serve jehovah on my own...

  I didn't like being told what I had to HATE!

  My name is Tate I will not Hate what you State
