  Another major historical JW lie!

  by Crazyguy2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  remember when we were younger we would read in their books or even see a drama on how jerusalem was surrounded by romans armies in 66 ce then one night they were just gone.

  jewish rebels even chased them killing many as they left.

  this i guessed fulfilled a prophecy in mathew and then the true followers of jesus would see this a know to flee to the mountains as the unfaithful stayed in jerusalem thinking all was well and the romans were gone for good until 4 years later they returned destroyed the city killing most of the inhabitants including unfaithful christians that didn’t heed the warning.

  Oh my. I didn’t know that. I was just looking up some info on the subject. I don’t know why I am surprised! Thanks for sharing. I don’t know why I would discuss this with anyone but if I did it is good to have correct info. They make stuff up and preach it like the gospel.

  “Bablyon the Great has Fallen”

  by lastmanstanding in

  what have you not heard lately?.

  .... no discussion on “babylon’s fall”.

  by 1919 it was apparent that jehovah had passed judgment on christendom​—and indeed on all false religion.

  In the November 2016 Watchtower there was new light on Babylons fall. According to the study article Babylon began losing its grip when Gutenberg invented the printing press. This is what woke my husband up and was the last meeting we ever went to after over 40 years of super Uber service. He said show me where the Bible refers to the Gutenberg press.

  Then the next article has the same ole blah blah blah about the persecution after the war and of course Malachi were they were chosen and now they are free. Thank goodness for this article. I was awake and this was the final straw for him.

  ..where the hairy blue fuck did the three billion dollars from the Brooklyn property sales go???

  I think they had been borrowing against the buildings for years and had to pay back the loans. The buildings were sold and the bank collected the money. That is my 2 cents worth.

  Typical Antitypical and 1914

  by Finally Left in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  could someone help me with this question please as it has been on my mind for sometime.

  watchtower comes along and changes the typical anti typical beliefs and with a stroke of the pen eliminates years of books and teachings.

  why does this not apply to 1914?

  Thanks for your comments. I am glad I am not the only one disturbed by the changes. It is so obvious.

  That is what I thought too and is the thing that woke me up. I just second guess myself especially after you believed a lie for so long. The overlapping generation should have made us all walk out. I told my husband I will never be able to conduct a Bible study because I cannot teach that. But it didn’t make me leave. The anti typical thing made me do research if Jerusalem was destroyed in 607. However if we don’t believe in typical anti typical this teaching should have been flushed.

Isn’t that a typical anti typical prophecy? There is the first fulfillment with Nebuchadnezzar and then the second with Jesus beginning his reign in 1914. What am I missing?

  Thank you for sharing this. I have downloaded a copy on my computer. Their outright lies resulting in the death of so many is unforgivable. I am surprised there have not been lawsuits against the society for the misrepresentation. They really need to be exposed.

  What was the EXACT exJW website you first visited and why EXACTLY did you visit it?

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had two episodes of visiting exjw websites:one time around 2007 when i just googled "jehovah´s witnesses" and dared to look at those sites.

  i was scared and i promised myself i would never come back to them.

  however, that one didn´t really count.the moment that woke me up was this:i got to know that whitney heichel was a jw and murdered by another jw, because i overheard that conversation in a kingdom hall.i looked up the news and in one of the news comments, there was one where an exjw was complaining that they were hijacking her funeral and they were really trying to downplay the fact that her murderer was a jw... and then it said "visit jwfacts.com"... which i did.and the rest... is history.what exactly got you onto an apostate website when you woke up?

  I wanted to know why the circuit assemblies cost so many thousands of dollars. It is ridiculous the money they ask for. I did a search and found Critical Thinker. I still enjoy his videos.

  Welcome!! I was in 43 years. Thank goodness we woke up in time to live the years we have left outside the cult. I have never been happier. Waiting for your story. In my opinion it should be easy for the older ones to wake up. We have seen lots of changes and truth doesn't change. Best wishes for you!

  I think about it a lot too. Isn't if odd that we used to know everything and come to find out we do not understand anything? I too feel an emptiness.
