Introduction

by robrog8999 in

jw
friends

hello all.... i am new here so i figured i'd make a quick post introducing myself and giving a brief intro as to who i am and what i'm here for... as well as to hopefully meet others.. so, i made a profile and in it i gave a pretty detailed explanation as to my intent here and exactly why i decided to participate in the boards.

in case you don't read it, i'll give a brief summary.

the name is robert.

You got two things going on here.

One is your misunderstanding/disagreement with the trinity doctrine. The other is your total lack of understanding of both the Mormon church and the Jehovah's Witness organisation.

And I don't think you realise who you're speaking to. We get your long detailed explanations of 'doctrine' and JW/Mormon mechanics.

I too suggest you get yourself down to the Kingdom Hall and stop trying to educate us. It's way too patronising and we're not buying it. If you claim to be searching for 'biblical purity' but it's taken years of study with the Mormons rather than about 20mins to see that they are ludicrous then you should maybe stop wasting your time and have a word with yourself.

Can you prove that our entire universe and existence is not a computer simulation?

by EndofMysteries in

if you were a computer programmer and you were to create a simulated automated world, that would constantly evolve and self run after initial designs.

first you would have to code the rules, laws, and core elements of this world.

while this is being coded, the program is not run yet, so none of it exists.

I think you watch too much TV. Scientists says that the artificial gravity on 'spaceships' on Star Trek and Star Wars etc is practically impossible so good luck with this theory!

Interaction with Cart People

by Lost and adrift in

on a recent visit to our capital..such an adrenalin rush when i rounded a corner and spotted carters !!.

wandered slowly over and pretend to be interested..asked could i take mag...initial impression (and i'm in no way snobbish) was 2 scruffy looking dowdy sisters wich irritated me i don't know why....i was allways struggling as a single mum but refused to look like a tramp!!.

sister jumped asked if i was interested in religion i said no too much abuse etc ...she said she undwrstood and went on to blather about catholic abuse scandal!

Pubsinger

Actually that is a brilliant idea...

I still have the Jackson testimony at the ARC on my phone. I could easily say yes I liked the latest JWTV video and ask them to watch a bit 😂

Skin of My Teeth

by WhatshallIcallmyself in

an evidence for divine origin that has often been used (at least to me) is where job describes "...escap[ing] with the skin of my teeth".

science is quoted as having discovered that teeth are covered in skin and therefore how would job have known something that modern science has only just discovered.

i was reminded of this at this weeks meeting when this verse was quoted but was surprised when a commenter said how it wasn't necessary to mention this in light of other "evidence" in the bible.

Pubsinger

Job was obviously quite eloquent and had heard of hyperbole. Which is more than can be said for the feckless idiots posing as scholars in the WT writing department.

Out on Facebook

by disillusioned 2 in

i am just venting because my sister has put on facebook that i am no longer "in the truth"!

i have kept a very low profile for years and have silently faded.

many witnesses i have bumped into are very friendly towards me, some from other congregations may not even be aware that i dont go anymore.

Pubsinger

Post that you were JUST considering coming to a meeting very soon but you felt a bit embarrassed and apprehensive. You had just built up the courage to do it but this has destroyed you forever and you'll never be able to now.

Berkshire Circuit (UK)

i'm hearing rumours of huge changes within the berkshire circuit here in the uk .

congregations being dispanded and kingdom halls closing down and being sold off.... official announcements within the next month apparently .

does anyone else have anymore info?.

Pubsinger

Similar things in West Yorkshire.

Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, Cleckheaton, Mirfield have 3 halls between them and I think 2 are being sold, congs amalgamated into 2 and sharing 1 hall.

The JW Spin - why governments and opposers should let jws handle abusers themselves

by Robo Bobo in

i came across this blog - it is one of the evilest things i've ever read.. http://dismythed.blogspot.com/2016/02/flip-side-news-opposers-want-ex.html.

you might not want to click on it because a) you'll give it more traffic and b) it will make you mad.

in summary it states that since only 11-17% of molesters are repeat offenders, witnesses guilty of abuse should be dealt with inside the congregation as long as they confess.

Pubsinger

How can they possibly know that the abuser has 'never reoffended'?

"You don't go to church in a Kingdom Hall"

by stephanie61092 in

"you don't go to church in a kingdom hall" was stated during the public talk yesterday.

the speaker then elaborated that "people who go to church, go to fulfill a spiritual obligation.

coming to the kingdom hall is coming to learn.

Pubsinger

I just LOVE the way they can miraculously read the hearts and minds of millions of people who go to churches other than theirs. It truly is a gift they have.
