  Circuit Overseer to Answer My Questions + Concerns...or Not

  by Research in

  2. beliefs

  hello all, i'm 'researching', a jw who is in the first steps of taking a look at their beliefs.. i've semi-recently (about a couple weeks ago) heard about the sexual abuse cases (pennsylvania attorney general’s investigation request) and then the arc in 2015. this lead to a deep investigation, which lead to many questions arising.

  a jw friend of mine suggested i be careful (due to apostates) and ask the brothers.

  so i typed up my questions + concerns and emailed an elder my mother has known for a long time.

  Welcome Research!

  You are starting out on the same road I took about 7 years ago. I was convinced the org's teaching regarding a scripture couldn't be right, so I naively wrote to the Branch with my Bible evidence.

  The Branch responded by endorsing their dogma and telling me to look at various literature references.

  That was my signal to start researching everything the fartful slave insisted was 'truth.'

  If you'd like to see any research on some of their major dogmas, PM me. Glad to share.

  Enjoy the journey.

  Hello Trolley JW's...

  ...at 1 peter 3:15 it says that if someone asks a christian about their christian hope, they should always be ready to explain it - with mildness & deep respect.

  may i ask you about just one belief which jw's have?.

  jw's have been instructed that god & jesus personally selected mr. rutherford and several of his associates as the first 'faithful slave' 101 dalmations years ago, in 1919. .

  JW's have been instructed that God & Jesus personally selected Mr. Rutherford and several of his associates as the first 'faithful slave' 101 dalmations years ago, in 1919.

  I'd like to ask you two questions about that momentous event:

  1) Who actually told you that they'd been selected by God & Christ?

  2) What scriptural or divinely provided proof convinced you that what they said was true? (Silent thought - Or did you just take their word for it?)

  Brexit - Fishing is the UK's 'ace in the hole'

  by The Fall Guy in

  i suspect that the leaders of eu countries which have large fishing fleets are seriously worried/panicking (for their own jobs!

  ) that the uk is going to drastically reduce/eliminate those fleets' access to the uk's rich fishing waters.. the eu knows how its rules and regulations pummeled the british fishing fleets, now it fears that it's their turn to experience the same collapse: .

  "i am not sure that an agreement will be reached between now and the end of the year," mr macron said at a meeting with fishermen in paris on saturday......mr macron also said fishing rights could be a sticking point in negotiations.

  If the EU required the Crown Jewels as a requirement for an agreeable trade deal, would they be handed over?

  I wouldn't be surprised to see UK fishing waters sacrificed on the altar of "financial trading/services."

  Boris will will justify the trade-off as being in the 'national interest.'

  My primary concern is that YouTube is not complying with the Fair Use provisions. Why are conceding so easily to the cult's requests for takedowns?

  Surely Youtube must know what constitutes the difference between fair use and copyright violation.

  a criminal in nz- in this case a murderer - has the right not to be identified - even after conviction?

  the reasons for the so-called suppression order, like the name of the killer himself, cannot be given for legal reasons.

  Total secrecy! Who created such protections for criminals?

  All civlised countries should automatically name & shame such convicted scumbags.

  How do you feel about the JWS religion after being out more than 10, 20, 30 years ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  myself being a born in and completely out for more than 30 years i see more of the damage of what this religious cult causes people .. part of myself leaving had to do with the psychological harm it was causing people back in the 1970's, one guy my age at the time hung himself out anxiety and depression.. the numerous suicides that have occurred in numbers is shocking to say the least.. then there is the many families breaking up.. marriages breaking apart because one member decides to leave the jws.. the deaths of members or their children from refusing a blood transfusion.. this hit me personally when my mother refused a bt when she was ill in the hospital and died.. over the years and observing all of these things reminds me how glad and fortunate i left when i did but i do find it responsible to others to expose this religious cult to what can happen to people who get involved with it and that's what i've been doing on this forum and elsewhere.

  I detest with all my being a) that I fell for this Christianity-based scam, and b) the blood-sucking parasites who are running this evil money-making corporation.

  @ LongHairGal - Shame on you - and every other BS/JW doubter over the past 130 + years - for not putting faith in the leadership's promise (aka dogma) that the end was coming soon.

  How could you not devote your life to recruiting for the org Christ, saving lives, and not being blood-guilty? Instead, you wasted valuable time earning a living in this old dying system. Sheesh!!!

  That same message has been the same priority for BS/JW's in the 19th, 20th, & 21st centuries. Sad!
  

  Polishing the brass on the Titanic was an analogy I used to hear.
