I Quit Preaching The "Door To Door and Tract Work" No Time For March 2012.
by Creep Side Congregation inwhy i have stopped preaching door to door, inactive now for march 2012!.
i can't participate in the door to door ministry anymore, how can i guarantee my bible studies won't experience the "dark side"?
are we providing a spiritually safe environment for new believers, free of sex offenders, thieves, gossiping bitter old women and "rock throwing hypocrites"?

what happens to wts writers who write mistakes in printed pubs
by mP ingiven that the printed word is forever and cannot be erased do the writers get into trouble for the embarassment they cause ?
every mistake results in someone today or tommorrow or nnext year and so on losing faith which is a disasyer for the org.
how do they hope to control these errors and prevent them from happening in the future.?
-

Nothing happens because either
A-God isn't backing them; otherwise he, who can't make a mistake, would stop the mistakes
B-God doesn't give a flying F**K
C-God doesn't exist
One of these is true, none of them are good for the wash-towel though.

Abuse - Physical, Sexual and Mental
by usualusername inhate to bring this up but i have been looking at some youtube videos on evil people and many times commentators refer back to people childhoods.. .
in many cases mental abuse has horrific impact on children.. .
any abuse is wrong but do some forms have longer impact than others?

Mental abuse? Do as I say you unworthy ingrate or I'll make your whole family reject/neglect you and take all your friends; oh and by the way, YOU ARE NOT WORTHY.
CHECK!
Physical abuse? Witless parents are all too willing to beat the fear of God into their children whilst beating the shight out of them for doing ANYTHING wrong (and in witless land everything is wrong).
CHECK!
Sexual Abuse? They hide and protect abusers and molesters while oppressing and silencing victims.
CHECK!
Looks like the WTBT$ definitely has the trifecta of abuse.

Yes, but only for appearances; I’ll be (not listening) thinking of all you lucky non-attendees while I’m there.

Gossip, gossip, gossip
by time2keepmoving ineven though i've been disfellowshipped for several months now (looking forward to my 1 year anniversary).
i did have a brother contact me about one of my siblings who is still "in" and ask me personal questions about them.
he also shared with me a lot of personal info about my sibling that i did not know, obviously my relative shared this information with this brother in confident.. i felt like if my relative wanted me to know they would have told me.

I never, nor will I ever, tell a secret to a witless; they are the "friends" you tell things to when you want a rumor to be spread.
For a group that prides itself on secretiveness and confidentiality, they do an awful lot of blabbing, gossiping and snitching.

Are you an athiest and why?
by LouBelle ini'm interested in finding out people's reasons as to why they are athiest.. i have simply through life experience, my research into religions over the years come to that conclusion.
never thought i would come to a day that i did not believe in a god.
believing in a god is like believing in super man, it would be great if he existed but well it's just a fairy tale.

I am agnostic, but some days atheist.
I’m not open to the belief that there is an all knowing benevolent being, or God; if there was it's doing a lousy job.
However I ask, are there forces beyond our current understanding? Maybe, but I don't think there is any sort of personal care involved.
I liken it to electricity; it does many wonderful things, some good some bad, but does it care? NO
For millennia human beings didn’t have an understanding of electricity, but does that mean it didn’t exist until we harnessed it? NO.
So, to me, there is a minute possibility that there may be something beyond us that we aren’t able to grasp quite yet.

Who is keeping watch over my soul, that I should be submissive to him?
by irondork inand what man or men am i supposed to be obedient to?.
and who is rendering accounts without talking to me first?.
go ahead!
-
Disillusioned Lost-Lamb
I think the bible is a crock and its only use is for the "church" to gain control of the unwitting masses.
That being said:
Why do you ask? Do you feel the need to be submissive? Do you want someone else to take YOUR lead?
Regardless of whether or not you believe the bible, answering these three questions will in turn answer yours, but it will do so personally for YOU.

Which 'THIS' generation will by no means pass away?
by ThomasCovenant ini know this has been said a thousand times already but oodads posting reminded me of when i got to thinking about the generation teaching at a family get together we had a couple of months ago with some witness relatives and so much wanted to ask this question at the table.
imagine it is the year 1914, and jesus walks into the room and sees these four generations of males.
he says ''this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur''.. which of the four generations is he talking about?.
-
Disillusioned Lost-Lamb
Um, they're human, they're all gonna pass away at some point.
So I guess my answer to your question is, none.
