Jehovahs Witnesses – Does the Sect’s name really mean for what it is ?

by EverApostate in

the term jehovah’s witnesses sounded weird to me even when i was in that cult.

why does god need witnesses to prove his existence?

there is no need for anyone to create a movement called “suns witnesses” or “moons witnesses” – in order to prove its existence and glorify it, because the sun and moon are evident to every species on earth.

Hi,

JW's main mission is to tell everyone all this bad stuff going on in the world, is not God's fault...they feel God's gets the blame for everything....one of their aims is to direct folks to the knowledge of Satan & he is the cause of all this mayhem...They want to sanctify Jehovah's name, yes his name & reputation...they do believe in Jesus...but they imitate him more than believe him (that's another story)..They feel God needs them to do this...but let's turn our bibles...('member that line) ? to Ex. 36:23‘I will (Jehovah) certainly sanctify my great name,+ which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned among them; and the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah,’+ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, ‘when I am sanctified among you before their eyes. 24 :So basically God don't need nobody to witness for him...he just wants folks to know he sent his son for mankind and we should appreciate that gift and appreciate it...Doesn't God say, Have faith in my son & the hope of being resurrected...

We should be Jesus witnesses...because without Jesus, there is no Christianity...

here we go again another will known public figure being abusive towards women.

as heart breaking it is i am glad it is coming out.

it takes a brave person to bring these things out.. could this be the catalyst that may expose the wt.

Hi ttdtt,

Thanks for replying. Men are just different...they don't hear the same as women, they don't think the same as women...you can say the same statement to a male & female...they will process it different...

Jerry Seinfeld had a video called, "I'm telling you for the last time". Hilarious...He brings out that no matter how badly men behave they still have a woman....Charles Manson had more than one...men can part their hair on the side because they are balding & still get a women....Now if a woman shows a little bit of age, because our society is so focused on youth, we dare not step to a man...the media is full of young tender women...plastered everywhere..in every commercial, books, mags. etc...our Society makes one feel bad that they are old...but old is what you get if you are lucky, the alternative is...DEATH...

Men are driven by Testosterone's & they are visual...

Men are just men...they are not the difficult to understand...they are basic humans...not as complicated as women...men keep it simple, that's one of the things that I like about them...

There are 3 sides to the truth...his, hers & the truth...

I don't know who or what to believe anymore...men have their agenda's and so do women...Did these women want to further their career and it didn't happen so they get mad and accuse...did the men really assault them ? I've learned in my life, don't step over a man's threshold, unless you are prepared for the next step...I'm not saying a man should expect something or force himself, but ladies, we got to be smarter...

Again, this type of thing has been going on for years...older men need to be excited to perform and only young and fresh will do it for them ( I guess)...Many a younger man/boy has had sex for the first time with an older women...

Nobody on here can deny looking at a young THANG...male or female...& have said yummy, but did not act on it, just said, "Wow, if I was younger"...

Yet, if this is all true...I hope the women can get some type of closure....

Could this trickle down to the org..

Hi,

Who is finding all of this stuff ? & all at the same time too....it's like a domino effect since Weinstein....who is behind all this?

I do not agree with sexual misconduct against anyone...but this has been going on for forever....nothing new under the sun...

Power can be sexy...and it seems these men in power use it for their own satisfaction...

But here's a thought to ponder, if these were about women who acted with sexual misconduct....would it be headlines?

Even pedophile...as long as there are young girls and young boys and adults have eyes...'nuf said...It's not right but it's been going on since the beginning...but just cause it could be done, doesn't mean it should be done...

Us humans are complicated...Sex is a drug...and as natural as breathing...but some need more air than others...

Maybe this will snowball & come rolling down the hill of the WT...seems nothing and nobody is safe from ...BIG BROTHER...

God is our help, not “a burden”

by venus in

sir julian huxley (one of the great pillars of modern neo-darwinism) may be a symbol of people who feel god is a burden because he wrote: “the god hypothesis .

is becoming an intellectual and moral burden on our thought.

" therefore, he concluded that "we must construct something to take its place.

tor1500

Hi,

Men add the burden....God said this Love him & love your neighbor....he gave us 600 rules, brought it down to 10 commandments, & we couldn't do it so he downsized it to 2...maybe you humans can do these two...

Man wants to add a bunch of rules to man, why ? Because they have something that they do so they add burdens to make them feel they have repented...Man wants you to say the Lord's prayer backwards on 1 leg...God just wants us to balance our lives...just treat each other good...

Why do we read to much into the bible or God...God even tells us what it takes...he don't want no more sacrifices. Hosea 6:6:For in loyal love* I delight, not in sacrifice,And in the knowledge of God, rather than in whole burnt offerings. PS.51:16:For you do not want a sacrifice—otherwise I would give it;+You do not find delight in a whole burnt offering. Heb. 13:15-16:Through him let us always offer to God a sacrifice of praise,+ that is, the fruit of our lips+ that make public declaration to his name.+ 16 Moreover, do not forget to do good and to share what you have with others,+ for God is well-pleased with such sacrifices.

Many people have no idea what God wants...they had burdens to look more pious....

I can find other scriptures of what God really wants...Just believe he sent his son for us...& that Jesus is his son & he died for mankind...and so no need to follow the law .....

That's my thought anyways...

No more talk about the Org. regarding Sexual abuse on this site ....what happened ???

by tor1500 in

jw
friends

the other day on this site, a lot of topics about the org.

and sexual abuse...now when i come on this site...crickets... what happened ?

it seems everyone is being exposed except the org...oh yes it's mentioned here and there but then it fades away...many celebrities are being exposed....& gov't officials and even our president, but not the org...ummmm.... thoughts ?.

tor1500

Hi,

The reason why I brought this up again, is that we humans get all hot and bothered when stuff first happens then it fizzles out...because we soon forget, until the next time...yes, there are things that we shouldn't keep harping on but to me this is not one of them...

We get upset when the friends have no empathy or sympathy for others, unless it happens to them...are we like that on this site...do we really care, or just glad to be out & to heck with the ones who are stuck there, not the ones who know they are being lied to but still remain...Have we turned into the folks we most hate...or do we still have the JW spirit, if it didn't happen to me ....

I do understand not beating a dead horse but this is serious...I question why everything is being exposed except the org.

Everyone is accountable for their actions...everyone...even us.

The newspaper makes a big deal out of stuff then in a day or two...it's goes to the back page until, it's not mentioned anymore...

This is about peoples lives and how they are and will be affected, not to be taken lightly...

Sorry if I offended anyone or opened up some wounds...like one of the commenters said, it helps to talk about it...there are many intelligent folks on this site, don't be carried away with intelligence and writing ability so much so to have lost being human and caring about one another...

We all know most witnesses can't hold a thought too long...hear the message then as soon as the meeting is over it's forgotten...just like when you say a comment and someone said, "Loved your comment & you say, what did I say, I forgot", sound familiar. How many times have we gone out in service and are told our territory and some write it down some take a pix of it...still when it's time to go...Many if not all the friends say...Where we going, again, what did the brother say, sister...because we all know not all but most of the friends are thinking about something else...So do we still have that same MO..."How soon we forget"

Watchtower Corporation And Cart Witnessing And A Plethora of Child Molestion Lawsuits

by Brokeback Watchtower in

think about this new mode(cart work) of keeping the rank & file busy with theocratic/self indoctrinating pursuits instead of door to door work which might put them in more financial jeopardy if one of their congregation's free roaming pedophiles uses this as an opportunity to molest an interested person at the doors.

i think the watchtower corporation is in some serious doo doo and wants to limit their legal liability as much as fucking possible, if they still have half a brain that is and not suffering from some severe form of dementia(which you never know being that they are suffering from tremendous brain shrinkage being that they are leaders in a fundamentalist mind control cult which prays upon fear and ignorance and most likely missing a lot of cards in their deck if you know what i mean).. i'm thinking if these guys are only half braindead from the bull shit they sign off on to be printed in their publications they must be able to see the tremendous damage financially that the mandatory door to door work for corporate interest poses if some brazen pedophile uses this situation to satisfy some primal urge.

but you never know these guys on the governing body of la la land must be on some serious meds to be functioning these days so only time will tell..

Hi,

Yesterday, on this site a lot talk about all the various newpapers and media picked up child abuse in the org...links galore...now today, I look on this site...what was hot news yesterday, it's on page 6 today...

Do we really care or are we more concerned about starting topix and sounding intelligent, but could care less about the abuse cases...are we excusing this just like our gov't is, much rather put a child molester in office than a democrat.

Do we really care ?

BBC: Victims 'told not to report' Jehovah's Witness child abuse

today on bbc news site http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-42025255 sorry about typo in heading big story on bbc news in uk.

Hi All,

The walls are closing in on all sex offenders. With the Washington Post digging into folks pass, no one is safe...everyday in the news...more and more sex offenders...

Good for the UK...now let's see if New York area gets a hold of it...with all these stories, wonder how the org. is going to wiggle out of it...it seems those who are accused can either deny it or admit it and apologize...

We just have to see how this plays out...who would think that all this sex offender stuff would be hitting the fan...

Does anyone think that the org. will get exposed....IN TIME ?

Hi Again,

I''m in the hall. Many of the friends have children but either over protective of them or they think we are built in babysitters...many that come in are single parents and they get love bombed and think wow, I can leave my child with Mr. & Mrs. Loving...some of the witnesses didn't even want any children but now they have them....you should see them at the hall...they looked whipped...D2D, letter writing, 2 meetings a week, spiritual homework, it's too much for them, but they blame the system not realizing the org. is keeping us so busy, we don't have time for our kids...

In the prison system if you are in jail for pedophile they call you Short Eyes....& they deal with you...& it's not pretty, they just may kill you....even a murderer looks down on a pedo's...what's that saying about us ?
