  JW Stumper Questions - List You Best Here

  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.

  Will god hold religious leaders responsible for the deaths of the flock due to these leader going beyond what’s written ? I first mention war to get their heads nodding then I switch to blood fractions and the lives lost and remind them that some jws died for what is now a conscience matter.

  Because they have admitted god will hold responsible these leaders , I ask how will god bring judgement against these men who cost fellow believers their lives.

  The other thing I ask is what is the youngest age someone can get baptised then you get responses 9-14. Then I ask is that child free to explore other religions when they become adults with no family sanctions.

  are they pretty much left alone?

  It’s purely a performance based cult masquerading as a religion , so of course if and elder loses his position then goes the power and prestige. Because average jo the publisher believe god uses elders, so now this man has lost his connection with god .

  The jw church was built on making people feel guilty. Come to our KH and be cleansed of sin and then your conscience will be a peace.

  Usually the half good ones step down and the tyrants rule with an iron fist. 14th century religious zealots have nothing on a elder with a Divine mission sent from Warwick. The whole point of religion is a confessional arrangement. The jw confessional process is steeped in paganism.

  Exposing one's identity. When?

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.

  ( "reaching out", so to speak ).

  i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

  marriage"equality" survey, Australia.

  by zeb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the australian govt has set out a survey to see if people are in favour of changing the marriage act to include same sex couples.. hm here have received their papers?

  the survey promises to be anonymous but has a substantial bar code at the bottom... anonymous yeah right.. the marriage act once said "two people" then a previous prime minister changed it to say "man and woman" all that is needed to amend this situation as required by the gay community is change it back again to "two people" there, done and dusted.. and millions of dollars need not be wasted on this survey which is not compulsory as is voting in australia.

  can anyone here who still goes to kh tell us if this has had a ruling from the platform?.

  I will only vote if it’s compulsory , just an inconvenience to post . As to same sex marriage , well whatever floats their boat. It just complicates constitutional law as to what age someone has the legal option to change genders and I know to some it may sound cruel it I honestly think kids do better with a mother and father arrangement. As to gays wanting legal recognition it probably has more to do with inheritance issues. Want to know my vote Rodger give me a kiss and I’ll tell you .

  Do you still believe in God?

  by FormerlySandL in

  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.
