from jw to athiest

the jehovahs witnesses, though misled in their doctrine,are still a passionate people for god.

why is it that so many who were once so devoted to god have turned from him.

do you not realize that religion is man made, and therefore, all church's doctrines are subject to mistakes.

my mother called tuesday night.

as many of you know, i have chosen to stop communication with my family as of the beginning of this year.. my mother has called 4 or 5 times to talk, but i have not called her, my father or my brother or anyone in his family.

all of them are witnesses of varying degrees.. i tend to go into a deep depression each time my mother calls.

I think they (family) should respect you for your decission and go about their business.

Glad to hear that you are feeling much better now. Have a good day:)

hi Gsark,

Nope! I am not afraid to talk to any 'exs' as can see I am a member here:) Thanks for your politeness.

We will have our DC in August (Guyana)-which I am looking forward to.

Even though I agree that some ex-jw's know their Bibles and JW history better than JW's, I would like to say not all JWs are clueless.

to Zero,

2 Pet. 2:1, 3 Shows that false teachers will abound. Bringing in destructive sects and will disown even the owner that bought them.
Isa. 32:6 ...the senseless ones will speak mare senselessness...
Acts 20:30...men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away deciples after them selves. 2 Thessalonians 2:3...let no man seduce you... -Heb:312-lack of faith; Heb.10:32-39-abandoment of right morals; heeding counterfeit words-2Pet2:1-3; 1Ti.4:1-3;2Ti.2:16-19; trying to be declared righteous by means of law-Ga5:2-4

Good night! Zero

you asked:(When JWs refer to xJWs as "apostates", do you think they are applying the dictionary definition of an "apostate"?}

Hell no!!! You and I both are, or at least I asume that you are aware that they use the BIBLE as an authoritative guidance.

What's wrong w/JW's?

by GodRules in

i would sincerely like to know what is so wrong with jehovah's witnesses.

i invite anyone to post here.

please use facts not personal opinions.. i am not interested in dates, the blood issue, nor the disfellowshipping issue since i am conviced that these do not prove that they are wrong.. i am weighing in to see if you as an opposer of jehovah's witnesses have the facts or not.

silver252525

I think that there are a lot of complexities to the 'many topics' mention here.

Too many topics are being raised without any being fully answered or properly discussed.

I would have enjoy it more if they were broken down and discussed individually.

Take for eg Topic 'BLOOD' - then we can focus entirely on blood both facts and views. Yes, I agree facts is preferred but sometimes we can't help but getting personally involved.

or should I start rolling the ball?:)

Religion - A builder or destroyer?

by Zero in

it has oft been presented here that religion has been destructive to the utmost, an inhibiter and counter-productive in human development and civilization.

there is always the other side of the proverbial coin.

when you think about it, where would the world of science and history be if not for religious motivation?.
