Hi Sacha
(I couldn't read the text, so I uploaded the chart in a higher resolution.)
The detachment from reality is stunning. This chart makes three (!) references to supernatural interference with the physical world. That's the way psychotics argue in order to maintain their delusions.
the bodily resurrection of the lord jesus is pivotal for the christian faith, yet the jehovah's witnesses do not believe that the lord jesus christ rose again in a body.
the watchtower have taught their followers that the lord jesus christ rose again as a spirit creature, and that his body was disposed, disintegrated and dissolved by god the father.
in this video, i explain the differences to what the jehovah's witnesses teach and what god's word teaches, showing without any dispute that the watchtower organisation is false, and that we can always rely on god's word.
In case anyone could forget, 1 Cor 15 is the prophetic guide to resurrection: who, when, how, and in which order ...
fancy a mind trick?
here’s 2 for the price of 1; if you only want watchtower’s trick, skip to the next paragraph.
you may need to write this down or use a calculator:.
9th letter = i
Only bible book beginning with "i" is Isaiah. "Isaiah" ends on a h. h is the 8th letter of the alphabet.
Isaiah 8:1 says
Young's Literal Translation
"And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Take to thee a great tablet, and write upon
it with a graving tool of man, To haste spoil, enjoy prey.' "
So, Maher-shalal-hash-baz means "haste spoil, enjoy prey". That's a strange name to give to your child.

But only one episode of 'Caleb and Sophia' daily: It should be a bit of a punishment, after all.
when did you guys start to doubt your faith in god?'.
what made you doubt your faith in god?.
thanks !.
As stan livedeath reminds me, we are all born as atheists. Then childhood indoctrination commenced — in my case at the age of two. That was, when JWs persuaded my parents to join their cult.
When did you guys start to doubt your faith in God? &tc.
I distinctly remember an occasion shortly after Christmas 1965, when I was five years old. Ironically it was the WT-doctrine that there is no Santa Claus which got me thinking. All these other, worldly kids stood firm in the faith, as it were, yet I knew better because my parents had told me, and other grown-ups had confirmed. So, I thought, what if there is not only no Santa racing across the sky with his sleigh and lots of very special reindeer, but also no invisible god, who was allegedly a loving but menacing all-powerful being, who obviously never actually did anything?? After all, the non-existent and the invisible look very much alike, especially when it lacks any observable effect.
i know it sounds kinda stupid and dramatic, but lately there’s been a lot of suggestive content about not watching tv.
the broadcast was telling people that watching tv snares you into getting an attachment to characters, (the one where the crazy sister prayed for a tv character).
and today this watchtower telling people that the only news that should be watching, or even interested in watching is the broadcast or on jw.org news room.
Back in the 60ies we had a circuit servant -- as they were then called -- who told us all the time that the tv-set is the eye of the devil. Families, who actually dared owning such a malevolent device, would have a tablecloth spread over it, when he had "threatened" to visit them. And back then there was no mention of apostates and the danger they pose to the faith of the flock. So, I think, it could well be that they are restricting the information access even more, and more rigidly so.
... that this forum, which is such an amazing resource for those needing support for their journey from watchtower's clutches has an increasingly present representation of unreasoning politically charged loudmouths..

What about the spare Silver Sword and the Climax book as a field guide in her JW-emergency kit, the Big-A Rucksack ...
though many things in the bible do not make sense to me, there is something in it that makes my life easy.. this is how i arrived at it.
bible defines god as the servant of his children because he makes provisions for the enjoyment of life in abundance (mathew 5:44-47) and ‘renews’ them if need arises (mathew 19:28) with no intervention whatsoever in between which means he is not interested in gratitude/worship from his children.
yet history shows that people forget him in happiness and remember him only in distress which means he is not given love (though he is the giver of love), and he is not bothered of it.
