  Jehovah protects his people. Did he ever protect you?

  by TimeBandit in

  hello forum.

  i started this topic because i had been thinking recently about a story that i had heard many times in different congregations over the years.

  kind of a jw urban legend if you will.

  My mom, 72 y.o. and a devout Catholic, acquires a very aggressive form of bone cancer (multiple myeloma). She has an early detection and no expense is spared in getting the best treatment and doctors. 15 years later she is still alive and cancer free.
  

  My brother's mother in law, younger than my mom and a devout JW, raised in the truth, has her breast cancer detected and dies few months later.

  What??!!, in spite of all the prayers to Jehovah, the JW dies and the member of the false religion lives.

  I don't get it.

  Fact : 1 We live in the 21st Century Fact : 2 Why do we tolerate Religions of yesteryear that dominate ,interfere with our progress

  why in this 21st century are we still cow towing to religions that are based in the distant past, of thousands of years ago , whether it be christian islam or whatever.?

  and not to restrict it to just those two , but all ancient religions.. all of them are hypocritical , on the one hand rejecting modern day society and it`s technology and on the other hand embracing it for their own advantage .. when is the human race ever going to rid itself of pie in the sky beliefs.?.

  smiddy.

  the internet is doing a good job of ridding us of superstition and bad religions. Be patient, it's a slow process. But it is certainly moving in the right direction at speeds never seen before. Forums like this show the vulnerability and weaknesses of religion.

  The lesson that history teaches is that people do not learn the lesson that history teaches.

  Narcissism gets on the way of reason and evidence.

  Congratulation on your family's decision to let go of 8 million conditional friends. You just officially entered into the world where "friendships and brotherhoods" are not instantaneous, but, once you get them, they are long lasting and will be with you through thick and thin regardless of your personal beliefs in a deity.

  By the way, my JW wife and daughter and my non-JW son are going to be in Lisbon tomorrow (almost today for you). They are in a tour through Spain, Morocco, Portugal, Spain. If I had been with them, I would have searched for your family to give you a big hug.

  I will save it for next time. May be in the U.S. or in Portugal.

  Question about 1940s Watchtower history

  I don't know about the 1940's explanation, but I suspect that recent growth of anointed is a clue into the mental health of the membership. As the religion worsens, the smart and mentally salvageable leave, while the depressed, the pessimistic, the misfits of society, and the mentally unstable stay, or even convert into the religion.

  Growth of Anointed = Decline of Religion

  EdenOne's son first and now your son. Absolutely wonderful! The Watchtower can keep all the decrepitude and even add more. Just don't touch our future, let the young ones go free.

  Smart son you have. You must be proud. He detected the BS at a tender age and acted with integrity despite the immense pressures of a cult. Just in time to enjoy life to the fullest as an independent adult with his own goals and desires, not those of an American corporation

  Stephen Lett never disappoints. I always get a laugh just watching his face. He is a natural comedian.

  Freedom at last!

  "...three years ago". Did your son start having doubts before you did?
