This is the differnnce between religions and cults. Religions can teach the most outright stupid things.....but cults deprive people their freedom. A cult is not a cult mainly for it's theology.

The real problem with Watchtower.
by Rattigan350 ina topic on here about 1975 prompted me to write about how, for me, that is and never was or will be an issue.. also, the 144,000 and 'two classes' with memorial partaking, and child abuse are not issues with this religion.
everyone has their unique teachings and personnel problems.. the real problem with this religion was highlighted in the 2008 yearbook.
it gave a story of a young woman who was from estonia who was on the equivalent of american idol for estonia.

Hey..."Change Name" is not baptized yet.........nice and easy, ladies and gentlemen. I think "Change name" is telling the truth when he/she says so. We don't have enormous amount of brainpower to make an assuption why "Change Name" is posting here.
If you read this "Change name"......yes JW-apologists can be wery "provocative" and raise harm/anger....even I can get a bit upset sometimes.....but, have in mind that most people here have lost a lot of years in an organisation and probably also lost family/relatives/friend. I do think you write here to test us in some way......if we are full of hatered and bitterness, and if we are bad people.
I also think that you have some doubts...that you don't dare to express.

Yes....regarding the UN-scandal there is at least one big lie...the society claimed that they joined the UN as a NGO to get access to the UN library in New York. Thats is just not the case, they could get access to the library without joining as a NGO.
I have heared a little rumour. The reason for joining as NGO was the collapse of the Soviet union. As UN NGO- organisation the society would get help from the UN to establish themselves in a lot of "new" coutries. Is there some more people that have heared this?
The timing is correct, they applied in autumn 1991.

Former Jehovah's Witnesses, will Jesus destroy all JW's when he comes to the Earth?
by Change Name inwhat do you believe happens when one of jehovah's witnesses dies?
do they go to hell?.
if you do not respond, does it mean that you are only looking to discredit and bash the jw's?.

But the "climax"-book stated in some 40-50 different paragraphes/ pages that the end would come in the 20:th century. This was after my time, but didn't ju get small stickers with the words "in out time" tu glue into the book? I think I have heared of something like that.

To those still "in"... how do these scriptures impact you?
by leaving_quietly inmatt 7:13, 14: "go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14?whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.".
matt 24:44: "on this account you too prove yourselves ready, because at an hour that you do not think to be it, the son of man is coming.".
2 pet 3:3, 4: "for you know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4?and saying: where is this promised presence of his?

That's right, What happened.....don't take any doomsday prophecy for real Paul and Peter were false prophets that made people in their time expect Jesus returning, giving up their lives waiting for it. Thay were as good nutheads as the J-dubs are in our time.

At this time......OK , here in europe it is midninght, but perheaps early evening in America. But, anyhow..he has no right to force himself in to your house...did you agree to see him.
In worst case...give him some drinks and make him drunk......no, don't do that.
Anyhow....give away as little information as possible.......say that you have problem, suffer from stress/depression, but never let hiom raise questions about your faith och what you think about the borg. Take care.
