  Christ's 'silence' on slavery.

  by tec in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the accusations against christ that some people make to me from time to time is that christ never spoke out against slavery, and so he must condone it.. i would submit that slavery (the forcible enslaving of your fellow man)... is not the root problem.

  it is merely a symptom of the root problem.

  christ came to deal with the root.

  Advise Needed : Should I stay should I go ?

  by raymond frantz in

  2. friends

  a year ago i started looking heavily into "apostate" websites ,now after a year i'm convinced that i have been lied to and kept in the dark for so long .i hate going to the meetings having to cope with these disgusting watchtower articles .unfortunatelly my family are still in wife and kids and i have raised them to be good witnesses .i feel betrayed by the watchtower and i'm sure if it wasn't for these evil men in brooklyn 99% of all witnesses that wake up would not have an issue changing all the wrong doctrines .these satanic men who dare call themselves "anointed " have spend almost 40 years, especially since they changed the baptismal vows and after raymond franz's exit ,creating a "prison of the mind" ,if anyone wants to leave they have to kiss goodbye friends ,family and start all over again .what shall i do stay in and try to work against them or leave?

  any advice will be appreciated.

  Could you live with not talking to your JW family for the rest of your life?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of greatest obstacles to leaving the organization is the destruction of the family unit.

  as lady-lee wrote about oompa, i thought of this topic, the society says "this is their way to get wrong doing people to return to the loving arms of jehovah after they repent of their sins" .

  i know of men and women who are in good standings and hate their fellow spiritual jw family, i am willing to bet, wager that "jw-hatred" exceeds the worlds hatred, something about a self-assured group versus the "not so self assured' creates one plucked up structure.

  How can anyone really be a 100% confident atheist given the paranormal and occult?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't believe the bible is inerrant nor do i hold a 'christian worldview' any longer as my profile details say (which i am unable to update on my profile), but i just can't see how anyone can be absolutely 100% confident there is nothing out there we can call a 'god' or spirit creature in the face of endless first-hand accounts of paranormal and occult experiences that felt as 'real' to the person who experienced them as anything else in their lives.. there are untold reports of ghosts, faith-healing, ouija boards, seances, spirit mediums, stigmata, mystical born-again experiences, speaking in tongues, and then there's hypnotism, ufo sightings, poltergeists, remote viewing, etc, etc.

  ok, so its mostly only anecdotal evidence, but the amount of it is so overwhelming it is practically corroborating evidence.

  in the face of all this, how can anyone categorically assert that there is nothing out there that is beyond ourselves that we might call a 'god' or spirit creature?

  Shunning non-JWs and shunning in general

  by jws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  often the topic of shunning comes up on this forum, how bad it is, unloving, etc.. my question is this.

  even if you think disfellowshipping is bad, have you ever cut off ties and/or avoided anyone?

  maybe not to the level of jws, but do you just try to avoid talking to some people or try to be in another part of the room at social events?

  Do the elders have "clear direction" that it's ok to use an ipad at meetings?

  i read this post more than a year ago: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/212313/1/watchtower-publications-for-ipad.

  since i saw it, i've been waiting for the first brother or sister to show up at the hall with an ipad to see what happens.

  a little here and there at the conventions and assemblies.
