Questions For Jehovah's Witnesses

by Vanderhoven7 in

here are some tough questions designed to determine honesty of the witnesses you meet.. 1. is post secondary education currently discouraged by your religion?

2. does your religion teach, that with rare exceptions, only baptised jws will survive armageddon?.

do you believe jehovah will completely destroy billions of people at armageddon?.

When I'm in town on Saturday shopping I will see carts everywhere and its so tempting to ask them the 2 questions above

How would you be required to treat a Jehovah Witness who leaves your religion?

- Are Jehovah's Witnesses instructed to shun ex-witnesses who no longer believe that your organization is directed by God?

And then once they answer I'll say "Well you shouldn't be talking to me then. But if you're interested as to why myself and many others don't believe it is the true religion then I'll be happy to discuss it with you".

I also like these 2 questions coz they'd be so difficult for the jw you ask to answer but easy for the person asking to have a comeback and make them think (or they'd freeze maybe and not have an answer).

Welcome refuel. If God Reilly protected the congregation then there wouldn't be paedophiles or wife beaters either, its a paedophiles and abusers paradise. The whole religion is a cult and run by 8 power hungry men and is damaging people's lives

memorial talk, the Sunday before the memorial

by nonjwspouse in

my husband just realized that our trip out of town to see lots of extended family members is over the saturday of the memorial.

he looked all disappointed.

(in light of his recent behaviors this kind of surprised me).

I would just give him time and feed him little tidbits of information about "The truth".

Blood Card Issue

by pometerre21 in

i posted this on r/exjw, but i thought i might post it here as well.

so the elders in our kh are moving to get us to sign new simplified blood cards and keep them on file.

i really need to not rock the boat in my current pimo status because of circumstances.. my cousin knows i have doubts about the blood thing, but i can’t show her that my doubts are getting to me.

Freedom rocks

The elders never even read my blood card anyway when i was pimi they just signed it. They never asked me for a copy either apart from when I was pregnant. You could fill a couple of parts in and then after they sign it just add on the document that you accept all blood components. Just keep forgetting to give them a copy if they ask.

Or just keep shrugging them off with excuses til they give up asking and don't fill anything in.

by freddo in

jw
friends

Is he interested?

by Sunnybear in

i met a wonderful man on match.com several months ago.

on our first date, there was amazing chemistry and we ended up having sex.

it was not planned, it just happened.

Freedom rocks

Hi sunnybear if you are gong to meet with his mum to discuss the book then I'd recommend looking at jwfacts as well ance seriously do your research on this cult and watch videos on YouTube from exjws so you get a balanced view. It sounds as though he is a narcissist in that he's bribing you and giving you a hope for the future (on his terms) in that it "might" go somewhere but only if you become a jw. I bet if you told his mum you were in a sexual relationship with him that things would be very different.

There are lots of genuinely nice men out there and there will be someone that's right for you, this man seriously doesn't sound like the right one. If you want a relationship where you can have discussions about your beliefs you could always try the Christian connections dating website maybe to find someone with similar beliefs.

You really don't want to be married in a religion where women are treated as 2nd class citizens and where you can't be yourself. I know this from experience as do quite a few others on here.

I wish you well

Please explain!

by Freedom rocks in

hi please can someone explain this in laymans terms for me coz i be ever got it as a jw and still don't.

it doesn't make sense to me.

bible chronology indicates that god’s kingdom was established in heaven in 1914. this is shown by a prophecy recorded in chapter 4 of the bible book of daniel.. overview of the prophecy.

Freedom rocks

Moster- is that seriously where ctr got the date from? Measuring inside of a pyramid? Its More idiculous than I first thought if that is the case. Can't understand how I believed this crazy religion for so many years when so much doesn't make sense
