  Faith-Apostasy-Atheism

  by DoubtingThomas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been on m any different forums, and only carm is similar to this.. all the rest have rather hypocritical trust in god.. this and carm are for those who apostate to the wtbs and to god.. turned off by the gb, or hypocritical examples in the congregation, they drop worshiping god and their belief in the bible... for they know too much,.

  that's why scripture isn't discussed, and jws like me, are demonized.. i am cool with that!

  maybe some of you will come to their senses!.

  truth_be_known , exactly right . The whole premise of the WT when it discredits other religions ( Christianity) is so that when people realise TTATT they have been so brainwashed about Trinitarian faith groups in particular that although they have seen the WT to be a liar they still believe what they are told about this . A " if we can't have you no one will " attitude.

  Thomas l bet that everything that you think that you know about Christendom is what you have learned from the WT , therefore the GB that you say you no longer trust .

  All the Anti - Christendom " facts " that you have learnt have come from the pens of the GB writing team .

  You seem to be encouraging people to think independently, which is great . Just how much truly independent research have you done into the doctrines of other faith groups. Do you still only read WT literature on the subject because of the suspicion that they have embedded in you about reading non JW sources?

  So you feel that when people become disenchanted with WT for whatever reason then they shouldn't lose their faith in God ? Do you think that they should stay in The Truth whatever they find out about it ?

  2. medical

  given that us healthcare isn't free at point of contact and people have to pay for insurance, which can be expensive and is often linked to employment how do jws get on ?

  if they are encouraged to take low paid or part time jobs so l assume don't get good healthcare insurance from their jobs .

  how do they cope with medical bills?

  Lamallcool thank you , no l have never been a Witness. I would like to know where l am wrong though . I'm happy to learn .

  AnonyMous why do European Witnesses need to rely on homeopathy? In the UK we have the NHS where they can get healthcare free at point of contact . Other European countries all have similar healthcare systems . No need for insurance tied to employment , co-pays etc .

  truth_be_known l haven't read through the other posts but l would just like to make this observation. Christianity does not just consist of American Evangelicals . American Christianity does not just consist of Evangelicals. There are Catholics and Anglicans as well, who have no problem with evolution. I have mentioned Hugh Ross and other scientists who are Christians ( as opposed to Christian Scientists) before . Hugh Ross has written many books on the subject of the beginning of the universe. John Polkinghorne was a British scientist who was also a member of the clergy in the Church of England. He's also written many interesting books . Please don't judge all Christians by the words of what are , worldwide ,only a very small minority.
