  Just visited ex-Mormon site

  for some reason i thought i'd have a look see at an ex-mormon site.

  very similar experiences, difficulties, pain etc for them , as us.. one girl made a statement that really stood out, she said that for a born-in , especially one whose family had been in for years , it was like " losing citizenship in a country that contained all of your history, all of your culture, and all of your heritage.".

  i think that is so true, we leave and are immigrants in a strange land and culture that we know nothing about, no wonder it takes us a while to adjust..

  "According to some figures Mormons are nearly twice the size of JWs"

  Guess we burn more calories doing the field service?

  Solving the riddle of 666!

  by wannabe in

  solving the riddle of 666!.

  one is easily thrown off track, if while reading revelation 13:18, he/she begins by believing that this following scripture is talking about every man alive ever since the creation of adam; for such is not the case at all; but is talking about only one single individual.

  this man in question, is obviously a marked man according to revelation 13:17!.

  I fully agree with your account regarding the Great City of Babylon the Great being Jerusalem, just a comparison of Matthew 23v35 with Revelation 18v24 is enough to show this, I have read however another interpretation of the 666 identity in that it describes the Seal of Soloman that the Isreailis call the Star of David and use on thier flag, interesting about the colour red as it was the Rothschilds who brought the six pointed star into use as the identifying mark of modern Isreal, and the name Rothschild literally means Red Shield.

  The great power Babylon the GReat can wield over the Kings of the Earth manily comes from its control of international banking, the result of its collapse is outlined in Revelation 18 were the collapse of economy is described, so therefore noteworthy that the mark of the beast is also tied in with commerce in that nobody might buy or sell with out the mark.

  If you go on Youtube and put Aaron Russo interview in the search box, you can hear his claim of friendship with Rockefeller family and thier plan for all monitary transactions to be performed through an embeded chip in your hand, that"nobody might buy or sell" without said chip.

  newbie here - i need advice

  hello, i've been lurking in this forums for a while but its only now that i've created an account.

  i'm an inactive jw, been in and out sporidically these past few years, but its only these recent months after reading crisis of conscience and christian freedom that i think i will never go back there again.. the reason i've been inactive primarily is because i have issues regarding masturbation and porn.

  my conscience cannot allow to continue preaching while i continously being overcome by these habits myself.

  You and me both Kassad, and thats one of the reasons I came out, couldnt be a hypocrate so in effect, disfellowshipped myself.

  Ive since come to the conclusion that humans cannot "cure" themselves of sin as the Watchtower trys to get us to do, if we could completely resist sin, then why we would need Jesus?, the Mosaic law taught us this, hopefully, us sinners are going to be counted as the righteous because we are the ones who acknowledge we are completly lost without Jesus, the good doctor who came to save the likes of us, not the self righteous who have no need of repentence.

  There are some things you should be aware of before becoming a JW that the JWs will not draw your attention to.

  One such thing is that you must reject your chance of living again after death in exchange for the privilage of becoming a JW, a bit like the pact musicians make if they sell thier soul to the Devil.

  Read John Chapter 6 in a Bible where you will see Jesus state the requirement for everlasting life is to eat his flesh and drink his blood, then find out about the Witnesses most Holy day, when they refuse to do such at the memorial.

  Just because Bible prophesy might be coming true, it doesnt mean that the JWs are right and are the FDS, remember they have been saying this for 100 years, therefore they are a fullfillment of prophesy themselves, ie the prophesy about false religions saying Jesus has arrived before he really does arrive, "do not go after them".

  Weird stuff that only an exJW would know

  by biblecheck in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking tonight about all the wierd stuff that i viewed as totally normal being brought up as a jw.... here's my list.... - eating broken easter eggs after easter was not a sin.

  - your car always had to be clean in time for the co visit.

  - being assigned to the car park at a convention, with a walkie talkie, meant you had powerful connections.. - the amount of lines and hand writing on your sunday watchtower, spoke volumes of your spirituality.

  If you attend meetings in a differant congregation to visit friends, then you are spiritually weak because you are "missing meetings".

  Hello and welcome Backslider.

  I cannot see how though, that they can drop the 1914 business as that is pivitol to the 1919 business and Jesus appointing the "faithfull and discreet slave" as Master over all his possessions? The whole religion stands on that time period and without it, it will all come crashing down.

  Unless of course, modern dubs are so dumbed down that they could accept the error of 1914 but not put two and two together to realise that would invalidate the GBs claim to have been appointed as the FDS.

  It would also leave no further doubt that not only is this religion in error, but they are actually aware of this, but continue which would make them a delliberate enemy of God.

  Flawed Science? Say it ain't so..................

  Not so much that science is flawed, but that even men in white coats can lie and decieve.

  A few years back when the leading global warming alarmists and Universities were exposed as fiddling the figures to get the gullible to belive in global warming and therefore pay higher taxes, I suggested to one of the Members of Parliament that instead of trying to get people to lead greener lives by deicieving them with "man made global warming", they should promote the real and true issues of pollution and how man is ruining the planet in other ways in order to arrive at the same agenda, but without putting people off by deicieving them.

  I guess though that most of the ruination of the planet is done by the multinational companies like BP and whoever it is that is still cutting down the rain forests, by getting is to belive in global warming, they can also get us to belive its our fault, that its our day to day living activities that are what is ruining the planet whilst the elite can carry on thier destruction unhindered.
