  JWS are apostate false Christians due to their adherence to the doctrines made by the Watchtower.

  Come judgement day Jesus will say to all JWS, I don't know you, you are devoted followers of men and their words, not followers of my words.

  One has to put question to the fact that WTS/JWS has hundreds of millions $$$ strewn around the world, from the many branches, so why are they asking for more money and why are trying to persuade JWS children to give up their candy money ?

  Sick retarded bastards !

  I revisit an old Jehovah's Witness friend from long ago...

  goodbye old friend; someday we'll meet again ….

  the ghost with the fine china cups.

  my last memory of her… a friend from long ago.. julie was a startling beauty, a blue-eyed, natural blonde; a model, guitar player, a singer with glowing purity of tone, a talented writer, and possessed of a wicked sense of humor.. she was too young to be dating and yet she was a natural flirt.

  I have come across some long time still in JWS who unfortunately bought into the shenanigans and deceptions by the WTS. who aren't doing so well. mostly associated with poverty and health issues, things they were told they wouldn't have to deal with by the WTS leaders.

  What amazes me most is how tight a grip on the minds of ordinary people using fear keeps the GB safe from a simple Google search.
  

  It works unfortunately upon the key word at hand "Fear"

  The WTS heads have imprinted the holding aspect of fear in that you have to obey everything they say or announce through doctrine, a psychological vise that's not easy to let go once its there.

  You had it as well as myself once so we know what its like.

  please explain what what is meant by "reinstated within the past 5 years" when elders consider recommendations for brothers to serve as elders or ministerial servants.

  thanks..

  So they wont allow you to become an elder Bola since you've been reinstated

  ........pity

  Maybe they wont because you come to ex-jws (apostate) wed sites asking pertinent questions about JWS activity ?

  " We don't like to talk about money in the last days of this system ?

  There you go implying fear and coercion, if you give Jah will be happy toward you, a indication of your personal devotion to kingdom interest

  Oh by the way the money you give doesn't go to the pleasure and use of are own personal lives, like the swimming pools and tennis courts you see at Bethel HQs

  Sad that she couldn't get that medical problem repaired in her growing elder years.

  US healthcare system sucks, no wonder people/politicians have tried to revise it.

  I have wondered a few times whatever happened or became of those JWS teenagers I grew up with.

  We are now in are 60's

  1995 generation change

  by Gorb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.

  it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.

  with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

  Lets face it JWS got sold a sock full dreams of delusional bullshit, many have personally suffered in adhering to those dreams,

  Mind you the GB heads did well, they still got the vast amount of money and power

  In the UK it is legal to abort a Down's Syndrome baby up until the moment of birth

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  there was a recent legal challenge, brought about by a woman who herself has down's, which sought to overturn this sad state of affairs.. and a few days ago, a judge upheld the original law and denied her legal challenge.

  this is pretty sick, don't you think?.

  pro-abortion people love to ridicule religious people who claim that life begins at conception, so the obvious question is, when does life actually begin?.

  Totally agree this is wrong and needs to be changed.

  Quite surprised this rule/law exists in the UK.

  SEX BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS NOT WRONG

  by JohnTron72 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i replied to a lesbian on the quora website who tried to state that god destroyed sodom because of the violent rape the people were trying to commit, not because they were homosexuals.

  her argument perperuated so often was that it stated nothing about sex between "two consenting adults".

  but, instead of using the bible scriptures such as a man shall not lay down with another as a woman, i used something else you never hear anyone use.... i told her to look to genesis 6:1-4 .

  Free Will is the only reason people can choose to be as they want right now.

  Freewill what the F ?
  

  Is it freewill from an individual that makes a mentally retarded or blind person ?

  Is it inherent freewill that the mentally retarded or the blind choose they way they are ?
