  Are You Still “Technically “ A Jehovah’s Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if we haven’t associated with the congregation in years, could it be said we are not jws?

  or must you be disfellowshipped or disassociated to officially say you really aren’t a witness?.

  I have not been DFed, nor have I DAed myself.

  No one knows of anything that I may have done that was "wrong".

  That has not stopped 99% of everyone I had know to shun me.

  Conducting the B School

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so how many of us who conducted the b school have the reoccurring flashbacks every damn time we now pomo, put our hand on blinds to raise or lower them?.

  we either fiddled with lowering them every week as we got the school underway or fiddled with to raise them to "listen in to the #3 in progress" up front.

  every time i grab the pull string or the louver adjustment wand anywhere i inevitably have a kh ops moment of pause.

  I was the Theo School Overseer for 10 years.

  I can't think of a LESS effective way of teaching anyone anything.

  JW`s Claim Their religion is Based Solely on The Bible.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well here are a few words that the watchtower / jw`s religion frequently use that do not appear in the bible , either , old testament or the new testament.. organization , sovereignty , reinstatement , governing body .. and in the christian greek scriptures ,the kingdom interlinear that the jw`s published themselves , a word for word translation of the greek to english does not contain the name / word jehovah ......nowhere ..

  Hmm,

  So ask any of them to show in the Bible, clear evidence of:

  1. A governing body that has any function or authority resembling the current GB. To that, have them show you where it says Governing Body in the bible anywhere? (remind them of what JWs say as to why the word Trinity doesn't appear in the bible to catholics)

  2. Use the bible to clearly identify the year 1914 as special?

  3. Show clear evidence for "overlapping generations".

  Wait for crickets.

  Of course the entire "religion" is based on those 3 things.

  i watched this convention video and do not recognize this religion any longer.

  there are attendants singing and dancing in grass fields.

  later, you see sisters holding up this silly sign that makes me laugh.

  Hey RULES - Its just an F-ing long corner is all:)

  Funny enough - I thought that was sarcastic apostates with the sign.

  Its EXACTLY the sign I would make!

  For any that still believe in God and Jesus, what is your reasoning on this matter?

  by BourneIdentity in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in the old testament, god was always full of anger and jealousy resulting in the murder of millions of people.

  we’re told jesus perfectly reflects his fathers qualities.

  why in the new testament does jesus show no hint of anger and jealousy and wanting to kill people?

  COFTY! You are forgetting all the HATE, MURDER, TORTURE, GUILT, REPRESSION, WAR, POVERTY, and SUFFERING that Theology has lovingly given humanity.

  I don't anymore.

  But there is only 1 reason to believe.

  Fear of death being the end.

  New Proof for 1914 - Oct. 2019 WT

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the latest study edition offers a new proof for 1914, get this:.

  were you born after the year 1914?

  if so, you have lived your entire life during “the last days” of the present system of things.. because so much time has passed since 1914, we must now be living in the last of “the last days.”.

  July 4 th Independence Day... Do You Know Any Witnesses That Celebrated?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew of a ministerial servant that was called out because he used fire crackers on the 4 th of july.

  we had to have an emergency meeting as to his qualifications.

  i remember imploring the body to not make a big issue over this and it was decided to just “counsel” him about being involved in a patriotic holiday.🤨.

  By the way, MANY Bethelites (including many GB) loved to go to the top of the Bossart or Sands and see the fireworks.

  They would brag about how its the Best View anyone could have.

  INSANE last days speculation in 10/2019 WT

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the october 2019 study edition, speaking of the last days after the governments destroy all religion except jws:.

  at some point, the people whose re-ligions were destroyed may resent thefact that jehovah’s witnesses keep prac-ticing their religion.

  we can only imag-ine the uproar that this might create, in-cluding on social media.

  nowwhat? - I sadly ask myself that EVERY DAY!

  I try to remind myself that when you only get 1 side of an argument, even smart people can be fooled.

  Like you - its so late in the game of life, with being behind the 8-ball on so many fronts, it's hard to make lemonade, if you know what I mean.
