  Newspaper article: Why JWs Don't Celebrate Easter

  by Sugar Shane in

  saw this article in the google news.

  it seems like the comments section is being overrun by jw apologists.

  would be nice if some of us leveled the playing field.

  The Judge

  by New day in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  genuine question here.

  a lot has been said on this site about how judge rutherford responded to events in his day by 'revealing' the great crowd of earthly subjects of the kingdom.

  it was always portrayed to me as a reaction from the ground up of those who didn't want to go to heaven.

  Didn't they foresee that their movement would grow past 144,000 members, so they had to change doctrine?

  By the way, many mainstream Christian churches believe that someday, after first residing in heaven after death, people will reside on earth, when earth is made new and the tent of God will be with his people. But witnesses are the only ones who take 144K literally and believe in two different hopes. (The one faith one Lord one hope thing I guess fell on deaf ears that time).

  An exJW friend gave me my first chocolate easter bunny ever. ExJW friends are the best kind. They know and understand. And they give you stuff you never got when you were a kid but always kinda missed. I give Easter baskets to my kids and chocolate bunnies but no one ever gave me one before. And it's Ghirardelli.

  I'm not worried about Armageddon. But as Jesus said, maybe Pharisaical legalistic unmerciful religious leaders should be.

  out for a long time

  by Sledracer in

  2. experiences

  my husband and i have been out for a long time, maybe fifteen years, i must say we are in a bit of a nowhere land spiritually, we find it impossible to attend any other church.

  we really resent so much of how they messed up our and our children's lives.

  we can't get back all those 25 years we were in.

  Why is it impossible for you to attend another church? Is it doctrine? Dig deep. Research. It sounds like you need a community to worship with. Witness singing is more like mumbles. Regular churches do it way, way better. And they read whole sections of the bible at a time, then analyze it. No more hopping all over the bible to prove strange things.

  We are mostly exwitnesses here and no longer believe in the religion, which most of us now view is a cult. You can find some other sites with active believers and this can be a win win for both of you, since they will get to count their time in answering your questions.

  I'm glad you woke up, art. I'm also sorry, because I'm sure you have lost at least a part of your family, maybe all, and now you don't know how to proceed with your life. This site has many many people who have lost their families and who have been able to rebuild their lives. It takes one step at a time.

  You never know who may follow you out. You may be pleasantly surprised.

  Russell had made other predictions of Christ's coming before 1914. The only reason they clung to 1914 was the coincidental occurance of WWI. They changed their prediction tho and said 'actually, his presence is invisible...but he's here! Believe us!!' So since that time, they've been buying time with different variations on the generation teaching. Desperately looking for ways to string people along and keep that carrot on the stick just out of reach.

  They've been successful for 102 years now!! Which is quite a feat when you think about it. Those are some pretty legit manipulation skills.
