What was the biggest thing that convinced you that

.....the truth was not the truth... ?

- Trying to find the overwhelming evidence in support of direct creation (and a 6000 year age of mankind). Came up empty. If not even JW literature - supposedly written under direction of the Creator himself - can present any decent evidence for creation, what argument do they have? All they try to do try to discredit evolution....
- In the process, discovering that Watchtower are deceitful, lying summabitchez who seem to be incapable of honestly presenting evidence that seems to contradict their beliefs. They also severely misrepresent scientist's views by selectively quoting out of context. There is not a single decent quote in the 7questions about life brochure. Lying motherf.....I'm still really pissed about that. If they'd be honest enough to say 'listen up guys, those science people have really strong looking arguments we can't refute, but they are with Satan....and we have the Bible and we believe our interpretation of Genesis is much better than what most other Christians believe....so yeah uhm just repeat after us: evolution is false, creation is true' they'd be ridiculous but honest at least. Now they're just ridiculous.
So yeah them lying summabitchez.

Help! Jehuba Is Casting Doubts In My Mind!
by sinboi in
1. jw

remember when we were "in"?

we were told that if we have doubts regarding the bible and regarding the wt, it is satan that is casting doubts in our mind?.

i have been out for 4 months now.

Lol.
I never had any serious doubts after I realized God (most probably) doesn't exists, Jehovah surely doesn't exist, and the Bible is just like any other collection of myth and folklore mixed with some real history.
But just to be sure, when I first became an atheist I prayed a couple of times to Jdub. Not because I doubted my conclusions, but because I wanted to offer Jdub the benefit of the doubt anyway. Well surprise: no answer of any kind....
By the way why would an all-powerful God need random events and newspapers to make someone doubt. He can easily make someone know beyond any doubt, right?
Ps: I'm wondering why gay marriage etc trigger this for you, and not for example the 'persecution' in Russia, the earthquakes and storms, or the Korea-USA standoff?

I'm starting a Counter-Watchtower magazine
by Counter-Watchtower in
1. watchtower
2. bible
im starting a counter-watchtower magazine for everyone to give to their jw friends and family or just to give to those that come to your door.

the first issue is about the history of pyramidology of c.t.

russel and under the start of rutherford along with some other things like pointing out the fact that no one knows the translators of the nwt or writers of the watchtower, "the two very things relied on to teach you".. its writen in such a way to be very repectful but to make the reader think, and hopefully the light come on.
Anders Andersen

If they won't take mine and read it why would they expect me to take theirs?
That's a good question, and I don't recall Witnesses having a good reply to it.
The internal reply is
"My magazine contains the Truth and your magazine contains Satan's lies. Therefore you should read mine, but I can't take yours"
Some JW actually say something along those lines when offered literature. Most realize this is quite disrespectful to say out loud and likely angers the other person, so they mumble something else embarrassedly.

Jehovah (As Taught By JWs) Offers A Bum Deal
by pale.emperor in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i thought this during my wake up.

if you think about it, jehovahs promise for the faithful is actually a bum deal.

some would even say a con.
Anders Andersen

It gets even worse when you think about the billions of people who live their lives just as they see fit, and die at least 0.1 second before the big A comes.
They'll be ressurected too. Or so the fantasy goes.
They'll have the exact same reward as faithful JW who made their own life hell for their Dog.

JW teaching about the final war of “Gog and Magog” and identity of “North King” may be wrong. Here is an interesting development
by venus in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
a modern day jewish prophet who correctly predicted the six day war in 1967 and the yom kippur war in 1973 has also predicted north korea would bomb seoul which would culminate in the final war of gog and magog.. .

for details.

Apparently the Bible itself is confused ~~on this point~~.
FTFY :-D

JW Stumper Questions - List You Best Here
by pale.emperor in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
hi guys.

sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.

just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.
Anders Andersen
1. Did Jehovah's Witnesses (generally speaking) ever fight in or even initiate wars or participate in the killing of men, women and children? [Wait for the predictable answer NO!]
2. Would you or any other JW ever fight in any (physical) wars and kill men, women and children? [Wait for the predictable answer NO!]
3. Read Isaiah 43:10. According to this verse, who were the original Jehovah's Witnesses?
4. Repeat question 1
5. Would you ever have fought in any wars if you were a JW 4000 years ago? [Wait for the predictable answer no but yes....but that's not the case and uhm no need to discuss hypotheticals!]

What have been some of the funniest local needs talks that you have heard?
by DaPriest in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i remember once in berlin south germany there was a local needs part for the men only, and how they should use the toilet.

in all seriousness for ten minutes a retarded nigerian was going on about how men need to sit down when using the toilet.

no mention of anything else.. it transpired that some little kraut boy from an "interested" family would aim for the side of the toilet and leave a great big puddle for others to clean up.

@pale.emperor,
Lol.
TMI TMI TMI!
I guess that's what's cults do to us...

greetings, gourmands of the forum!.

i agree with garfield, but mayo comes in a close second.

slathering my pasta with an inch of best foods real mayonnaise (hellman's, east of the rockies) is close to heaven for me.
Anders Andersen

@NJ501,
I used to religiously reject McDonald's. I even turned down free McD food.
Until I went on a trip to Paris with 2 (jw) friends and all we could afford, locate and enjoy for lunch and dinner was McD. Ever since I've been hooked, even when I realize it's actually garbage ;-D

Canadian Court Protects JW Minor
by Lee Elder in
1. watchtower
2. medical
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/jehovahs-witness-blood-transfusion-1.4299992.

clearly the right move by this doctor and court.

unfortunately, the watchtower continues to try and argue that so called "mature minors" (11-17 years old) should be allowed to follow their irrational policy on blood, even if death could result.
Anders Andersen

I praise that judge. In some years or decades that girl will realize he saved her life. Or she'll live to be mad at him.
If Jehovah exists and JW are true, the judge (unfortunately) helped the girl to spread The Truth.
If JW are not true, that judge may have saved a life.
In any case the judge was right and the girl won.
