Symposium: Beware of Apostates! - 'God's Word is Truth!' District Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses 2013 - not on JW.ORG

by mindnumbed in

symposium: beware of apostates!.

satanhuman apostates also of interest ..... the truth brings "not peace, but a sword" .

"Apostates are not sincere in their expressions"

False. Conducting my own research, I've found that information on apostate websites used quotes from the wbts itself. We are indeed sincere about exposing TTATT. Why would we lie? We have been lied to, misinformed, bamboozled.

To compare a df person to an alcoholic or drug addict - well, even family members would shun them and would get them appropriate help. They would check up on them from time to time. But wait, didn't "Mother" say don't look for excuses to contact df persons???

What personal experiences have you had with 6th sense?

by Fernando in

i was at work one day at a seafood wholesaler (some years ago).

there was considerable tension in the air.. another worker briefly left the workplace.

he could simply have gone to the toilet or for a smoke.. without seeing where he'd gone, or what he was doing, or hearing what he was saying, i instinctively knew he had instead gone upstairs to see a particular manager.

QueenWitch

Sometimes when I'm thinking of someone I haven't heard from in a while, I hear from him/her.

When I used to call my mother, she would say that out of 4 kids, 2 or more of us would call or visit her on the same day after a long time of noone calling or visiting her.

Dumb line in Bible Study presentation in July 2013 KM

by Richard_I in

jw
friends

in the july 2013 km for the presentation to start a study, this is the recommended presentation: "almost everyone prays at one time or another.

even atheists have prayed when in trouble.

do you think that god listens to all prayers?".

QueenWitch

Assuming that one does believe in God, how does one go about knowing what prayers God listens to? How presumptous of the JWs according the quotes from Blondie.

Are you a dabbler in Witchcraft?

by StopTheTears in

jw
friends

after leaving christianity it's common especially among the young to experiment with witchcraft.

some get drawn into it by getting involved with earth movements and back to nature groups.. .

witchcraft is an evil thing.

QueenWitch

No, I don't dabble in witchcraft, I practice it although not as often as I would like. It takes tremendous energy, something that I have been lacking lately.

Clearly the OP is trying to incite controversy. I love how all the Bible verses are quoted as if witches even believe in that book. And for those who may be seriously interested in witchcraft, please contact someone who considers themselves a witch. Not all Pagans are witches or Wiccan.

MUST READ: Books for Young JWs - a Required Reading List

by Oubliette in

i've been contemplating a list of works of fiction that should be read by every young jehovah's witness, (12 - 18 years old).

the goal is to plant seeds of truth and critical thinking skills which could ultimately invoking cognitive dissonance and help them wake up to the truth about "the truth" (ttatt).

my idea is an adaptation of steven hassan's approach of not attacking a cult members beliefs directly, but rather indirectly by getting them to look at other similar belief systems and social structures, in this case fictional ones that mirror many of the destructive, oppressive features of jehovah's witnesses.

QueenWitch

The Harry Potter series. Seriously. Witchcraft is not demonic and there's nothing wrong being curious about it.

Are you pro-activist, anti-activist, or passive?

by cedars in

jw
friends

i ask this question because, having been on this forum for a year now, it's clear to me that there are many shades to so-called "apostasy", and this is particularly evident in the realm of anti-watchtower activism.. when i use the word "activism", likely picketing kingdom halls and conventions springs to mind.

however, activism can be far more subtle than that.

just having a website or a book that sheds light on the flaws of watchtower dogma is really a form of activism - arguably the most effective form at that.

QueenWitch

Right now, I'm passive mostly but if I know of someone who is studying with JW I will point them to jwfacts, jwsurvey, or other sites for them to see the mess that they are about to get into. I personally wouldn't picket but I understand why some would. Well maybe I would picket, quietly.

BROTHERS & SISTERS - READ THE BROCHURE!

by The Searcher in

jesus always used illustrations to help people reason on the import of what he was saying.

here is an illustration followed by a reality;.

imagine that your heart went out to all those poor people who suffered when fukushima blew up, so much so, that when an internationally renowned charity asked for donations to help those in need, you donated $5000 to the cause.

QueenWitch

so lemme get this straight

JWs donate to WWW. Local cong needs a new KH so they petition or apply to WBTS to get the donated funds loaned to them. The donated loan is used to build new KH which doesn't belong to local congs but to WBTS AND local congs have to pay loan back.

In the case of ass halls, is process the same? Local congs obtain land and building permits, etc. so building is paid for and there is no mortgage, just tax on the land. (or maybe not since this is "non-profit" org). Local congs don't own ass halls either so have to pay rent for weekend use. Is that right?

I'm speechless to think that I thought this ever made sense.

And with the so-called charity, it would make more sense to help out the "brothers" without insurance. I mean, that's what insurance is for, to have money set aside for disasters and such. The "brothers" without insurance would be in more need of help. If RBC is helping uninsured less, that sounds "worldly" and just what the medical industry does. Oh no insurance? here's a bandaid and some asprin. Bye.

SCRIPTURAL DIVORCE

by The Searcher in

i am genuinely in the dark on this one; .

can someone with experience of this explain to me what a "scriptural divorce" is?

i have always believed what christ said was the only basis for divorce.

QueenWitch

When my mother got her divorce, she got it "scripturally" by having 2 witnesses catch my father with someone else on 2 different occasions, one of the witnesses being my oldest brother. For the civil divorce it was mentally anguish or something. I wonder why she didn't use adultery for the civil divorce as well? Anyway, I remember her saying that after year 2 she was unhappy in the marriage but stayed married for 20 yrs. Granted, I wouldn't have been here had she left but I never understood why be miserable for so long. She said that he was verbally abusive and I think she said he hit her once. I remember they never showed affection to each other (kissing, hugging).
