  What are your personal reasons for hating the Jehovah's Witnesses religion ?

  by Rocketman123 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first thing comes to mind is that this organization through its leaders are not witnessing the true and honest version of the gospel teachings of jesus christ .. they are subjectively teaching/preaching a tainted version made up by the top controlling men of the organization, which i'm sure is connected to the proliferation and distribution of literature which these men publish themselves.

  .

  when jesus said that no one knows of the time not even he, he didn't say a select few will know .. the other thing that bothers me is this organization promotes human ignorance on many levels, admonishing education or knowledge that mankind needs for its very survival... there are many other religious organizations that do this as well but the jws is just one of these organizations.

  the universe came into being 13.8 billion years ago in the big bang.

  after an initial flash, it went through a period known as the cosmic dark ages.

  according to a new study, probing cosmic dawn, 250 to 350 million years after the big bang the first stars emerged bringing light to the cosmos.

  Really enjoy watching Brian Cox adventure's in space and time,

  How the universe works ,

  He has a way of explaining physics in a way people can understand , the advancements they have made in the past few decades has only opened up new aspects of physics ,wish now I hadn't wasted all those years believing a god had created the universe when I now consider the wonders of the universe and why humans have a desire to learn more about the universe and it's origin.

  i had a legal divorce from my ex wife( law of the land).

  i was told not to expect to get remarried because my divorce was not legal to watchtower.. my divorce and situation seem to be a talk of gossip and even a many local needs talks.

  i wanted to take some more schooling to get a better job, there was a local needs talk on higher education and it's dangers.

  https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/was-king-solomons-temple-a-real-place.

  Are we still talking about Solomon's temple of which there is little or no evidence of its existence and the two individuals David and Solomon of whom like the temple there is little or no historical evidence outside the Bible of there existence .

  One thing Jws got right is that all religion's are a snare and a racket which also includes themselves.

  God vs ET`s ,why is one more probable than the other ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw

  billions of people around the world beleive in a god of some sort or other who exerts some power or influence to some degree or other in lifes affairs .. i don`t think there would be anywhere near that figure that would entertain the possability of extra terrestial life elsewhere in the universe.. and i find that curious .. the ancients didn`t know that their were other humans on other continents on this planet until they ventured out and found them .. we live somewhere in the milky way galaxy with millions of suns and planets that orbit them.. our galaxy is only one of trillions if not zillions of galaxys in the known universe.. look at the diversity of life on just this one planet earth ,what possabilitys could exist elsewhere ?

  on alien worastronomers can use the hubble space telescope to view galaxies near the edge of the observable universe (the region of space from which light has had a chance to reach us within the last 13.77 billion years).

  by examining a very tiny portion of the sky, counting up the number of visible galaxies in the universe in that specific region, and then multiplying that number to account for all the regions of the sky, astronomers estimate the number of galaxies in the universe.

  Watched Human universe with brain Cox this morning (bbc2 UK)

  "The gods are later than creation" a Hindu saying.

  Why are we here ,laws of physics and how we basically won the lottery on earth with all these law's being in the right place at the right time and the right amount.

  And that's there's no reason why the odds that numerous galaxy's in the universe have planets are as luckily as we are here on earth for life to evolve.

  i found this experience on reddit today.

  disfellowshipping never really bothered me.

  i always thought it was just another way of getting rid of members that weren't welcome anymore.. but i've changed my mind.

  Vidiot

  A acquisition was made against him by a under age girl who's grandfather was the po and included himself on the judicial committee and the decision was already made before he attended the meeting and they were unwilling to listen to him and any evidence he was 40 miles away at the time the incident, he was fed up with it all and just walked out , so they disfellowshiped him and his controlling ex bethel boy father did nothing to help his son because it's from Jehovah.

  The police report was after the JC and there was a concern regarding the girl not my nephew , only become aware of this recently, I've contacted my nephew and apologize to him for not being there for him , but he has decided that we are no longer his family .

  My brother who is a elder also was made aware of this recently and just said mistakes are made .

  So because of my going along with the disfellowshiping arrangement I have lost a nephew .

  My nephew was disfellowshiped more than 10 years ago for something he never did , the police looked into the allegation against him , their was no case against him (only found this out a few months ago)

  My sister was diagnosed with secondary cancer just over two years ago and we managed to contact him to let him know (necessary family business) and he called and spoke to his father and he said that he was disfellowshiped and they can't speak to him until he returns to Jehovah.

  Before she lost her fight against the cancer ,she made it aware to our mother that she wanted to know how he was doing and if she was a granny , so I called him but because of that phone call with his father he wanted nothing to do with them and wouldn't even use the word mother called her by her name.

  While she was in the hospice hours before she passed her husband tried to find there only child on Facebook , but didn't even recognize him when looked up his name and was told by another family member that was him .

  But it was too late at that time .

  Is it really BAD absolutely.
