  The founding reason JW's came into existence...and what scripture says its a big no-no???

  by oompa in

  russells entire quest it seems....like ponce de leon...was for everlasting life and yes that still sounds good to most people...funny how some things never change.......but i dont think thats what stoked him...no he was more determined to figure out the end of the world....and to let the world know about it...that is what they are all about...and yet i think there is a very direct scripture that says that is not supposed to be done isnt there???

  i know they ignore that jesus said nobody can know the day or hour...and i guess russel and the rest of them say....bullshit to that....i can know and have figured it out....again.........................oompa.

  so the very premis of this religion is founded on something god never approved of.....geeze.

  this has been irking me for a bit.

  many of us on here acknowledge the society's subtle demand to be worshipped like god.. they are god's mouthpiece, yet they make the claim "question the organization is like questioning jehovah.

  " "accept what we say because jehovah is saying it.".

  This has been irking me for a bit. Many of us on here acknowledge the Society's subtle demand to be worshipped like God.

  They are God's mouthpiece, yet they make the claim "question the Organization is like questioning Jehovah." "Accept what we say because Jehovah is saying it."

  When you call out the typical Witness on worshipping the WTS, they argue adamantly that they don't worship the Society. Only Jehovah.

  But when you tell a Witness to their face that the Society has done awful things, like "joined the Beast," created a Governing Body with no Scriptural support, Malawi v Mexico, made false predictions, flip flopped doctrine, what is the common accusation?

  You're an Apostate. Many of the bolder Witnesses on the Net will call you it. It's a little more difficult to get one to immediately say it to your face, but it happens.

  But on what grounds do they accuse you of Apostacy? An apostate is someone who goes against God, no?

  If you are/were a Witness, does this line sound familiar?

  "You're spreading lies about God."

  How does saying the Organization protects pedophiles amount to lying about God? You know, I think they'd be more tolerable if they just admitted they worship a group of men in New York. It's frustrating to argue with somebody who has no evidence to support their claim when you have mountains of evidence to support your claim, and they still feel like they're right.

  The Branch Davidians weren't this looney.

  This is the single most badassed video I've ever seen.

  And I have Avatar on Blu-Ray.

  This video has ALL the vital components for an "Anti WTS Starter Kit." I wish there were more like this.

  @diana: 2.4 million confirmed kills either by God or directed by God. This number doesn't include the flood or sodom and gamorrah.

  Here is a detailed breakdown of the evils that gods do:

  I was under the impression that lobbying in regard to political action disqualifies religions from tax exempt status in the united states. At least, that's what the IRS says...

  My mother is trying to indoctrinate my 4 year old and I do not know what to do

  by jwfacts in

  my mother lives a plane trip away from me, so does not get to spend very much time with zac.

  however, she is in sydney for 3 weeks and has been babysitting.

  i knew that she would be talking about jehovah, but was very annoyed yesterday when zac said my mother was speaking all day about jehovah, such as how he made the stars.. in the past, i was not overly concerned if zac learnt about jehovah's witnesses, as i thought it would help with critical thinking skills to understand different points of view.
