  What JW habits do you still have?

  by Exelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since leaving the jw's after over 4 decades, i can see exactly what it is and hate everything it stands for.

  however, there are still some jw habits and traits that i can't get rid of:.

  1. i can't swear in general conversation (i'd have to be really angry).

  I still pick on the catholics for their hiding child sex abuse in PA. But Most of the news is doing so also.

  How many JDubs would believe this ridiculous statement?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a circuit overseer or a member of the gibbering body is giving a talk about demonism and he says the following, "there was an elder in a congregation in california who let his 8-year-old daughter watch disney movies that involved witches, gremlins, magic, and sorcery.

  many may feel that they are harmless movies and are just entertainment.

  well, the 8-year-old daughter actually brought a blue smurf doll to the public talk and watchtower study.

  Probably 40% of the J dub super uber population would also swallow any pill prescribed to them by their Governing Body Doctors which would take them immediately to the promised land flowing with milk and honey.

  And does anybody remember the story where John Denver supposedly made an announcement at the beginning of one of his concerts where he asked if there was any JW's in the audience, and if so, they were told to leave. Exelder, I heard this story and the singer was Barry Manalow. Each area of the world makes up their own lie to suit their gullible listeners .

  Arguments I’ve Had: Historical Accuracy and the Bible

  by Saethydd in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was a jw and still living with my parents i remember the way my father held what could almost be described as contempt for archeologists, paleontologists, and other scientists who dared to try explain what happened in past.

  he justified this attidtude with the argument that these people don’t have enough evidence to make such claims with any certainty.

  however, i see now that his viewpoint was more likely a defense mechanism to protect his presupposed conclusion that everything described in the bible actually happened.

  good story of the magic gremlin, I use the term "boogieman" Jehovah when I need to insert absurtity into a JW conversation. Usually get the same response , "stop mocking god" and I just smile...

  IBSA/JW`s transformation from witnesses of Jesus to witnesses of Jehovah

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when c.t.russell first printed his magazine it was called "zions watchtower and herald of christs presence" was it not ?.

  so obviously he was concerned about witnessing about jesus and announcing his kingdom to all who would listen and read his magazine.it was jesus and his kingdom that he was witnessing about ,and of course those who followed him ,would have done and did the same.. their are over 20 scriptures in the christian greek scriptures telling christians to witness for and about jesus.

  and that was in harmony with what the new testament ( the christian greek scriptures ) is all about ,witnessing to,for,and about jesus christ.. their is not one scripture in the new testament ,the christian greek scriptures that says or even indicates that christians .

  Today you hear the phrase "Jehovah,s Witnesses" and more and more in the public relate it to a group that covers up pedifiles and misses predictions of the end of the world.

  "New Light" on "New Light"

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it’s just the “new light” is much better and brighter than the old light.

  1965: more “new light.” these men will be resurrected, for sure.. 1988: jehovah apparently changed his mind once again.

  the light gets brighter.

  I read in a book once that the only "new" light to ever come out of a Watchtower was fire as you put a match to it.

  The bridge

  by truthwillsetyoufree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so my father, who is an active jehovah’s witness, told me yesterday of an experience currently doing its rounds amongst the witnesses in relation to cart witnessing.

  there is a bridge called ‘the bridge’ which is a well known place for people committing suicide.

  apparently the jws have been setting up there literature carts there for a while now and ever since they have there has been no more suicide attempts from the bridge.

  For instance, consider the case of Walter, * a young man in São Paulo. He had no parents, no home, no privacy, no friends he could count on. To end his misery, Walter decided to jump off a bridge.

  Just did a search on JW.org and found the made up story. The exact location is "a bridge " solved

  my personal experience.

  i was born as jehovah's witness.. i was baptized at the age of 10.. i was reproved at the age of 10.. i later served as a regular pioneer at the age of 16.. i woke up to the truth about the truth at the age of 17.. i attended my pioneer service school at the age of 18.. i disassociated from the jehovah's witness religion at the age of 19.. i went to higher education at the age of 21..

  This is the perfect example of why 10 year olds should never get baptized.

  I 'll bet that most of the zombies in the Kingdumb hall today have never seen that magazine, and if they did see it, they would dismiss it as "old" truth. This was most all they emphasized in the 70,s and 80,s, so much so that I just knew it would be lie that would unravel them. How many left the truth from this teaching?
