  Ending Bible Study

  by Maria Nieves in

  1. watchtower

  i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.

  initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.

  however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.

  I no longer want to continue studying but I don't have the courage to say that to the Witnesses.

  As another comment suggested, ask your "teacher" to show you the video about stopping unproductive studies. Then ask them if THEY would do that to someone just because the person was not "progressing". Then when they say "Yes", quit the meetings, start not being home when they show up, and tell them when they ask what is going on that you have no intention of ever getting baptized.

  The only studies they consider to be progressive are the ones who they believe will become baptized, and a feather in their WT hat to brag about, "I brought so-and-so into Da Troof!"

  Babies Who Are Not Dead From An Abortion

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a woman gets an abortion.

  the baby is supposed to die because of the abortion but doesn’t.

  should that living baby be put to death or should the baby be given medical help to survive?.

  One of the definitions of viable is according to Merriam-Webster: b : capable of existence and development as an independent unit.

  At what point can a child, after birth, function as an independent unit (person)? They certainly cannot at six months of age, or even two or three years of age.

  At what point does an elderly person cease to be fully able to exist as an independent unit (person)?

  If the pro-abortion crowd want to follow this through to the logical conclusion, post-birth "abortion" should be on the table until the unit (person) has reached an age that they would normally be able to exist on their own. And of course elderly units (persons) should be euthanized when they can no longer exist as an independent unit (person).

  They also should be made to exercise their "choice" with hands on involvement in the procedure carried out on their own offspring.

  Now I know some will thumbs down this comment as too radical, but the ones voting on these type of abortions IMO have not fully thought out the consequences.

  I noticed too the paragraph that made it sound so simple and free. God gave ONLY ONE command to Adam and Eve in Genesis. by the time of Exodus it was TEN. By the time of Leviticus it was how many?

  Then along comes Jesus and he gives TWO commands. A few decades later Paul gives DOZENS. And here we are in 2019 and how many HUNDREDS do the governing body set out?

  To me that one paragraph shone a bright light on the hypocrisy of the modern day Guardians of Doctrine.

  Society Ditches Older Publications

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has been reported that many of the older publications are being dumped.

  the watchtower bible and truck society have a long list of books, pamphlets and brochures that are no longer available either in print or in their data base on their web sight.

  of course the reason is that this books have a lot of old information that is incorrect, false prophecies, flip flops and a lot of "new light" that became old light.

  A comment made in my locality about the goofy hair-splitting definitions of adultery/porniea was, "It is so nice that the "slave" has given us this direction, Now we don't EVEN HAVE TO THINK."

  I nearly split my gut when I heard that!

  god put to death this couple for not being honest and transparent with dedicated funds.

  shouldn't the one and only true organization of god also be 100% transparent and honest with dedicated funds?

  you would think!.

  no...No...NO...the one and only true organization is just imitating the apostles. They wanted MORE, and never did make a written accounting of the money they demanded (that anyone knows of). Remember, accountability only goes one way, from the peons towards the Gibbering Boobies.

  Mind Numbing Meetings

  by minimus in

  without a doubt, jw life is boring.

  and those meetings!

  5 congregation meetings, meetings for field service, elders meetings, judicial meetings, meetings to figure out who was qualified to clean the toilets....🤔.

  Preparation not necessary.

  Oh, but it is. Otherwise how will a person know how to prattle on for two or three minutes answering a question that has a simple "yes" or "no" answer as they try to impress everyone with how knowledgeable they are?

  Gawd I am glad I do not run that hamster wheel any longer!

  Manipulative language

  by Hendrixgrip in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  someone recently included the phrase from a talk, “cherished errors”, which made me think about something i wanted to get off my chest.

  the societies use of manipulative language has been discussed on this site many time and i hope this adds to the ammunition to fight back against them.

  periodically , i’ll run into someone and they’ll say “hendrixgrip, why don’t you come to the meetings anymore.” i’ll give them some not too specific reason like, “i’m struggling with the overlapping doctrine”.

  As you can see, Revelation 11:15 is cited in both and in the 02 WT it says it was fulfilled in 1914 but in the 51 WT it says it was fulfilled in 1918. Which of the two am I to believe?

  Easy... BOTH, at the same exact time.

  Should calling someone 'Nazi' be made illegal?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  a rabble-rouser called james goddard and a crowd of pro-brexit people called anna soubry 'nazi' recently.. the same crowd also called owen jones a few names.. i don't know these people but they seem to be unsavory people - they were certainly not behaving themselves.. the met police are looking into the matter, to see if the crowd did anything illegal.

  a journalist asked the police officer if calling someone 'nazi' is illegal.

  the officer said 'that's what we're looking into'.. first, this crowd behaved badly, no question.. what i find fascinating, though, is the speed of response from authorities.. calling people fascist or nazi has been going on for decades.

  Basically, if you resort to name calling, you're a punk ass bitch.

  I enjoy a good sarcastic comment.
