  Quit Quietly now more than ever

  by gone for good in

  the amazing exoneration of info sekta in swiss court has finally reinforced the proper way to exit an abusive cult.. never write a letter of disassociation.

  - no need to invoke shepherding or judicial action from elders.

  make a written, dated statement of your free-will choice to have abandoned the jw religion - secure this document with a friend -a trusted friend (not the jw kind).

  "protections of the nuclear family is a violation of basic Human Rights".

  The thing is, the nuclear family usually consists of Father, mother and children all living in the same household. Once the children leave home, they set up their own "nuclear" family by getting married and raising children. JWs do not shun members of the nuclear family, i.e. if a member of the family lives in the same household, they will not be shunned. Husband and wife are not shunned, and neither are children who live at home.

  Is Anyone Happy That Police Forces Are Being Abolished or scut??

  by minimus in

  in minneapolis, the city council has voted to abolish the police.. many cities want to either disband or defund the police.

  black lives matter and other groups have influenced citizens and neighborhoods to get rid of police and their authority.

  is anyone really supportive of removing the police or cutting out law enforcement through the budget?

  we have to get rid of these racist relics.

  Resurrection, Reconstruction? What is it? It never made sense to me. Your opinion.

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i never had much faith in whatever resurrection was.

  what appealed to me about jw doctrines was the rejection of the "it's a mystery" defense of the indefensible.

  when i would ask how going into non existence could be reversed when all the atomic parts of who we are had been scattered for thousands of years, the answer was "jehovah can do anything".

  I wasn't talking exclusively about ethnicity, but more about religious conviction. Jewa became Christians too.

  @diogenesister

  "Why would you kill the only person in history to raise the dead? The answer is....YOU WOULDNT."

  You might not, looking at it objectively. But they were blinded by hate. They actually did believe he performed miracles, but they attributed that to Satan. That's how much they hated him.

  @hairtrigger

  Your argument is based on the assumption that if one Roman saw what happened everything would change. It's a weak argument though. There is no reason why others should believe what one Roman said, or even a bunch of Romans.
  Don't forget it was the Jews that wanted Jesus gone at all costs, regardless of any miracles or resurrections. After Jesus' death they would have strongly denied any powers that Jesus had, otherwise it would have made them look like slayers of God's son. And they did deny everything Jesus did, and deny it to this day. No one would have wanted it to be written into history, that the man they killed had performed miracles and brought people back from death. No one would have wanted to be known as a slayer of God's son, the Romans didn't, it wasn't even their battle. It was the Christians that went out and told people what really happened. And the Romans who believed, became Christians.
