  Apostate Hunter?

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anyone heard of this jw guy?.

  apparently he writes a weekly (weakly?

  ) blog as well as having written this book where he claims he disses the claims of "apostates".. to know what apostates are saying he has to be engaging with them or tuning into websites like this one, contravening the gb's direction not to do so.

  Isn’t It A Materialistic, Even Selfish Hope

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as witnesses we always looked forward to the new world but the talks were more about the incoming king and man’s freedom from oppression.

  although we looked forward to the good things ,we recognised that initially things may be hard .

  we would have to cope with physical work , and lack of many things we were used to today.

  Selfishness, greed and materialism has always been the driving force of most Jehovah's Witnesses and that hasn't changed a bit. I could see that right from the beginning even though I tried not to give it too much thought.

  "The Truth"

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know that jws consider the wt religion to be "the truth" and refer to it as such.. granted, that phrase is used repeatedly in the literature and from the platform.. but it's obvious that much of what the organization used to require jws to teach house-to-house as important truths--even within our own lifetimes--has been abandoned.

  it's been replaced by "new light" and "refined understanding.

  what's meant by "the 1914 generation" is a prime example.. in fact, i think it would be hard to find another religion that has changed so many of its teachings, especially in such a short period of time.. so why do jws still believe their religion to be "the truth"?.

  Law? What law? In JWLand there's no such law! Pedophiles are free to reign and abuse children as they feel like it! The example came directly from the very top of their reign, right from the GB! Yes, the very same they say conveys the word of God himself!!! Imagine if it weren't that way!!! Go figure!!!

  Watchtower/GB use Memorial to do SATAN'S work!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the cult's dogma claims the exodus foreigners were not participants of the law covenant and use it is an antitype to prove the “other sheep” are not participants of the new covenant - wt 98 2/1 p.19, par.

  6. their demonic dogma is then enforced annually via the org's anti-christ ritual - the memorial of christ's death - to compel jw's to reject christ and the new covenant.. deuteronomy 29:10-15 screams “liars” & "offspring of vipers" at the watchtower hierarchy!.

  are jw's too blinded to read and understand the bible for themselves????????????.

  As you said and as the Bible says, Satan blinds people. So, yes, the GB forces people to close their eyes to God's Word!

  @Fisherman

  Isn't that what JWs do? Why can't the others do the same to them?! If they have the truth, they shouldn't fear any challenge. But, they do! They always run away and never assume their responsibility for their lies and for their thousands of victims!

  Which of you readers are being shunned by their relatives / friends ?

  by stan livedeath in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a simple " me" if you dont want to say more--or a short explanation about who is shunning you and how long has this been going on.. i'll set the ball rolling: my daughter--her husband and children; my younger son --no contact from them for 40 years...because i left their religion.. (edit--i just noticed the typo in the header--if should be of ).
