Ending Bible Study

by Maria Nieves in

i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.

initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.

however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.

Nambo

Another tactic, seem interested still but get them to want to stop the study by acting like an apostate.

All you have to do is ask some awkward questions that Witnesses get very uncomfortable with, plenty here will give you examples. You might even help your study conductor to "see the light".

For instance, with the Memorial coming up, you could ask in a genuine and polite manner, ""Why do Witnesses not drink the wine or eat the bread when it plainly says at John Chapter 6 v 53 "So Jesus said to them: "Most truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.u 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I will resurrectv him on the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink." and as verse 31 and 49 likens this to the Manna that kept the Hebrews alive in the wilderness, plainly this isn't just for the Priestly class?""

Film showing the pyramid beliefs of early JWs and the end coming in 1925

by Crazyguy2 in

https://youtu.be/s2snv8syqvu.

apparently the jws were still using russell’s pyramid measurements to push the end for 1925 too.

here is the film anyone know it they used pyramidolgy to push the other previous dates like 1918?

Nambo

The date for the start of this "Kingdom" was indeed learnt from the Great Pyramid, its written in Russell's Studies from the Scriptures.

Those of us aware of Globalism, the "New World Order", the coming Global Government and Global religion that will tale us back to Nimrods "type", know that its sacred Symbol is the eye on the top of this same pyramid.

In view of the fact this Global New World Order was initially conceived as a result of the First World War of 1914, makes me wonder if the Witnesses have been inadvertently announcing the Kingdom of the Anti-Christ. Jesus Kingdom didn't come a hundred years ago, it comes at the end of the 42 month persecution of Gods people who resist taking the Mark of the Beast.

Never in my wildest dream would I ever see one of those dog gone carts

by Tameria2001 in

i moved to where i'm currently living for 10 years now.

once in a while, i would have jws come to my door and every single time either i or my husband would send them on their merry way, although my husband is quite rude about it.

i'm not sure when the cart witnessing (or whatever it is called) started up, but the only time i ever heard about it was on the internet, or someone here talking about it.

Nambo

When I am early for an appointment for instance, so have the time, I hover a little around these carts, not only to see what pearls of wisdom the society are offering these days, but to maybe even maybe entice a little chat. They just do not seem interested in actually preaching, I wonder if they like doing this work as it means they can count time without actually having to talk to the great unwashed?

I just started a thread inquiring what has happened to all the congregations that used to meet here.

I was in neighbouring Caterham when these were all built, it was a great social event.

The complex is within walking distance of my present residence.

Anyone notice JW old publications are going way up in price?

by Tobyjones262 in

i have long collected the older books and magazines that show the jws crazy cult history.

they used to be very cheap and i have had people just give me books.

but now it seems the older stuff that shows the crazy cult history is really going up in price.

Nambo

I sold a motorcycle to a friends son, I have known the family since 1968

I was surprised to see he had a complete collection of the original "Studies in the Scriptures", the fella had never been a Dub though his parents used to take the magazines. I think he had them for decoration, to look good on his bookshelf. He obviously never read them or had a clue what they were about.

A funny idea about dating in the paradise...

by JW_Rogue in

how in the hell would it ever work?

everyone is youthful, everyone is perfect, everyone's personality is loving and kind.

how would you choose somebody?

Nambo

I like the notion of the Elder who studied with me, "maybe it will be a free-for-all", that would explain the no marriage thing. And why not, in this system children need the protection stability of a family, well we will all be one big family eh?

Why are there more sisters than brothers at the Kingdom Hauls?

by Sour Grapes in

i have always wondered why there are more females than males in all of the congregations that i have visited?

some of these females are in their 70's so maybe their husbands have died and women just live longer.

or could the reason be that years ago men were the breadwinners and women stayed home to raise the children thus they were home during the week when the jdubs came a knocking?

Nambo

I like Jesus a lot, he did a great thing for us, but I wonder if it's easier for Women to "Love" him to the extent required to sacrifice your life for him?

Would there be a higher percentage of men if God had sent a daughter?

Change of the 2 Baptismal Questions Soon?

by The Fall Guy in

q1 - on the basis of the sacrifice of jesus christ, have you dedicated yourself to god & the governing body?.

q2 - do you understand that your dedication and baptism as one of jehovah's witnesses identifies your belief the wtbts's literature is equal in authority with the bible?

having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition sufficiently brain-dead to undergo christian jw.borg baptism..
