  JW's on my front sidewalk

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so last weekend, the jw's ring the bell and my wife answers.

  we live in a heavily spanish neighborhood but don't really speak spanish.

  i thought my wife was quite clear that she is a "sister" to them, but maybe the one in charge of the group didn't get the message.

  OTWO ,an anti-witness is the best witness to be given.And you did give them the option to walk away.

  So they asked for it.

  The four corners of the earth could refer to the four points of the compass from wherever you are standing .

  North,East,West and South

  N.E.W.S.

  And that should be good news for anybody.

  Pacifism is Morally Indefensible

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been surprised recently to see so much support by ex-jws for the watchtower's refusal to fight and kill.

  in my opinion it is a vice masquerading as a virtue.

  of course war should always be a last resort but there are occasions that it has to be done.

  What kind of a world today would we be living in if the USA , GB,and Australia were truly pacifists during the second world war. ?

  I shudder to think

  Jehovah God was never a pacifist in actual fact he was a warmonger no wonder humans created in his image like to fight wars.

  Jesus Christ never came to bring peace but a sword to cause divisions in a family so by extension you divide a community and then a nation ,and then you have global conflicts.

  Do JWs Still Believe That Everything Pictures The “Anointed”?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seemed like the society taught that somehow everyone and everything pictured the anointed class.

  is that still the case?

  ?.

  Surely the number of 144,000 has been achieved 1,000 times over since the first century AD..

  Think about it ,a football stadium can hold on average 40-60 thousand people ,here in Melbourne the MCG can hold 100,000 people for one game.In one day.

  And Jehovah`s Witnesses would like to have us believe that in over 2,000 years the almighty God Jehovah still hasn`t been able to find 144,000 out of faithful men and women to obtain this number of 144,000

  Their have been Billions of Christians these past 2000 years who have lived and died many of which went through persecution,torture and even death upholding their faith in God and Jesus.

  And their weren`t enough of these to fill the 144,000 anointed ?

  And none of these were faithful enough to of the anointed ?

  According to the latest figures their is now something like 18,000 who are /claim to be of the anointed today ?

  Hooray! Bound volumes in the trash!

  by stillin in

  2. bible

  my wife has held onto them like they were family heirlooms.

  we are cleaning and clearing out accumulated stuff and i pointed out that there is the cd-rom library now and that the society has made revisions and really doesn't want us to be reading the old stuff.

  she said that even though there have been changes to the teachings, the wrong understanding served its' purpose at the time.

  LHG I`m sure their would be some Dubs that would have paid you $$$$$`s for that if it was from a GB anointed however looking back on your post it could have been just a mentally diseased person LOL
