  Do you still believe in God?

  by FormerlySandL in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  Disfellowshipped in Absentia

  i have heard of this happening before, but how often?

  its pretty rare it seems.

  i have often wondered if the elders would go this route with me since they knew i was actively sinning, but as far as i know, no jc was ever formed.

  The elders wanted to meet with me 4 weeks ago , I refused the invitation and said I have no respect for their kangaroo judicial proceedings. But I believe they are trying to establish where I live , but I don’t care one little bit if I’m disfellowshipped in absence.

  A cashless society

  by fulltimestudent in

  for thousands of years some material form of money has been important in daily.

  but now, all over the world, there is a move toward a cashless society - a society where out wealth exists in an electronic form.. perhaps, no other country has moved as quickly toward that notion than china.. a report today on china's peoples daily (english) web-site claims that 84% of chinese can now leave home without cash in their wallet/pocket.

  as i understand it they will make payments via a smartphone app.. ( see: http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0924/c90000-9273002.html ).

  The biggest problem with a cashless society is a total lack of privacy for purchases and secondly tax robbery.

  Could you really imagine them opening up Warwick to disaster relief victims who aren’t JWs. Watch what they do not what they say. A true charitable church would not differentiate between believers and non believers. As to the picture in the background it reflects the table big Tony aspires to be chairman at.

  JWs hold the pinnacle of the propaganda tree, no other religion has come close to JWs in printing propaganda in multiple languages and of a home delivery system of these writings. The governing body has deforestated half the amazon to print propaganda for decades.

  New, but needed to vent- thank you :-)

  i discovered your website this morning as i was trying to find some information about 'marking'.

  you see a very close friend of mine was 'marked' earlier this week and as i know the ins and outs of the situation (as we are close friends) i disregarded the talk immediately as i know my friend is obviously having issues but is no way a 'danger' to anybody else's spiritual health.

  basically they are dating a non-believer- hence the talk.

  Hi Danni , you have arrived back at a genuine source of encouragement, but regardless of what’s said it’s very hard to apply something to yourself which the cult considered a sin ( for example friendship outside the cult ) . Deep down you know what has to be done to self help but application is certainly a tricky procedure . May you find inner peace and we can only encourage you to amputate the diseased cult from your life. Run Danni run snakes can only strike at close distance . Cheers Chook

  Do they take the GB seriously?

  by Tech49 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so this is an honest question that i have been thinking about for some time.. do regular jehovahś witnesses in other countries (other than the usa) take the governing body in new york seriously?.

  i mean, i cant help but wonder about the publishers in japan, or south africa, or mexico, or new zealand, or even the uk, or spain, or italy...... or russia?.

  not you and i (we know what you think of them), but the regular jwś...... do they take these american buffoons seriously?

  These men and their adherents believe in a twinkling of an eye they are to be raptured to Christ to rule from a heavenly throne, what greater bullshit could you get your flock to believe.
