.I remember one circuit overseer going on and on about how evil they were because some sister supposedly had murdered her husband and soap operas gave her the idea.

Absolutely impossible that reading the bible gives anyone the idea to murder someone....right? RIGHT??

What TV shows were forbidden in your JW household?

by Funchback in

in the u.s., three's company was not allowed.

it was explained to me that it was an immoral show because a man and women lived together and no one was married.

We didn't even have TV until 1995 :-D

But the Smurfs were evil because of the wizard.

Any soap opera because of immorality.

Etc.etc.

And some spiritual support ;-) Sorry couldn't find the verses about Jeezy Rider

Ecclesiastes 9:4
But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living puppy is better than a dead lion.

lf you had the opportunity to ask the GB a question what would it be?

by atomant in

l thought this would be an interesting exercise to read the different responses.

my question is what makes you think your gods chosen medium?and prove it.

Yesterday I answered a similar question on Quora.com.

After stating that they usually don't answer honestly anyway, this is what I wrote:

The questions are aimed at gaining some insight into their minds and motives.
Please tell me which current and former JW teachings you disagree with, and why?
Can you explain how you know for sure that you personally are chosen by God to lead His people under Christ, and other people are not?
How do you feel about the fact that many people suffer(ed) severely from poverty, depression, all sorts of abuse, and even died because of current and abandoned JW policies (on blood, organ transplants, neutrality, shunning, child abuse, spousal violence, education, etc) that you and other men like you have enforced?

From the answers it should become clear that this person is either
100% certified KoolAid drinker (and dispenser). Sorry, can't help those.
Struggling with or ignoring doubts just like any other regular JW. Maybe we can help him out.
Knows it's a scam (and is still in because he's a coward or an @55hole). Well then I do have an axe to grind!

Bonus questions:
What's Tony's (Anthony Morris III) problem with tight pants, and why is he afraid of homosexuals?
Do you think Stephen Lett is a clown too?

Do you still believe in God?

by FormerlySandL in

i never thought i would admit it, but i don't.

i might superstitiously have some kind of doubt but digging a bit deeper in my heart i really don't believe in god.

as a human i could never just sit and watch people be tortured, live years of abuse, suffer from illness and disabilities and all the other awful things people have to endure day after day without doing something about it.

@Acts,

if we see God is quite separate from religions, rather than see Him as part of the problem

Almost all of humanity worships some sort of god(s), mainly as prescribed by the religion(s) in their area of birth.

Assuming your God exists, She is part of the problem by not making it abundantly clear that everyone is doing it wrong by following religions that lead away from Her.

Why Do Intelligent People Believe in God?

by cantleave in

jw
friends

one of the most common thing thrown at atheists is - lots of intelligent people believe in god.

this darkmatter 2525's video is an excellent explanation as to why very logical people possess religious belief systems.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y201qzddzbg.

Psalm 14: "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God...."

Classic example of an Ad Hominem...
