  Are you better off as a worldly person or a JW?

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was having a conversation with a relative who has been inactive for several decades (part of the ‘75 generation) and he argued that a person that is a born in is better off staying in the organization rather than someone like him who lived as a “worldly” person but then became a witness later in life.

  he argues that when you’re born in, all you know nothing outside of the organization, so you’re better off in than out, that’s why when born ins leave the org, they always come back.

  i agree that as a born in, your social circle is composed of witnesses but i do feel that even born ins would be happier outside of the org than being in.

  How could you be better off being/remaining a JW ?

  It`s a cult religion for Christ`s sake .Full of false promises,failed predictions,deaths of many members following human instructions.of the GB members on a number of issues ,Blood,Malawi.Conscientious Objection in the Military,Medical procedures ,{ Organ Transplants ,Inoculation`s }

  And in many cases having dual policy`s on these issues depending in which country you lived in Malawi/Mexico for an example.

  Condemning the United Nations on one hand and Joining them as an NGO for 10 years on the other hand.

  Charles Taze Russell the founder of the IBSA/JW on the one hand saying they would never beg for money and the Governing Body of the religion today continually begging for money.

  Of course I`m better off DA myself from this sham of a religion.

  How to "turn the tables" on still-in witness who pry about our status.

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so many of us have had (perhaps well-meaning) jws ask us questions about our inactivity, or lack of attendance at meetings.

  they may pry about why..... how is this for a simple, yet straight to the point response?

  to a sincere person, it may play on their mind and make them ask more questions.

  JWs ask us questions about our inactivity, or lack of attendance at meetings.

  Maybe just maybe, when The religion apologizes for leading their members up the garden path with "truth`s" that turned out to be falsehoods because "New light " always followed old "truth`s" that never materialized .Think about that.

  Life during the 1,000 reign???

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  me and my brother recently got into a discussion about the 1,000 reign.

  i told him that even after armageddon, you know that you still have to work for your salvation??

  he says yes, that he is prepared to work for jehovah (wth), and that it will be a wonderful time.

  If you remain ''loyal'', you will live forever. If you are tempted and fail with your loyalty, you will get the '' second death'' (eternal).

  So that means Lazarus and others who have been resurrected in the Bible and died again are "Kapoot"
  Also with the relatively few (JW`s only) who are going to survive the big "A" will spend the next 1000 years burying 8+ Billion dead men`s bones ,not to mention demolishing concrete and steal skyscrapers ,bitumen roads,and all the technological industry`s that JW`s rely on in today`s world.And if by any chance JW`s don`t think these are going to be done away with ,then how will the paradise earth be any different to what we enjoy now as their has to be someone to run and maintain all these mod cons we enjoy today.And the Scriptures do plainly state that after the thousand years have ended when Satan is let out of prison those that follow him will be as numerous as the sands of the sea-shore ,he will mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth .Rev.20:7-9So things are not going to be Honkey- Dorey during the 1000 year reign as JW`s expect.Hasn`t Jesus already used up 100 years of that reign ? What`s he achieved so far ?He better take his finger out ,only 900 more years to go.

  hi all, anybody any anecdotal or actual idea of how attendance numbers went this year ?.

  there are hints that it is well down, but is it ?

  and if it is, will the borg stop crowing about the attendance as they always have ?.

  Maybe it`s because the Rapture has already started and Jehovah/Jesus has begun taking some of the Anointed to heaven already.

  Yea of little faith !

  It could be a gradual thing that`s going to go on for years .

  Why are Humans so Obsessed with trying to find Meaning in Ancient Writings that they waste their life on and are willing to die for ?

  April 2018 Broadcast - normal weird stuff

  by Listener in

  2. beliefs

  we hear a story regarding the life of thomas and emma.

  she states that "when thomas and i first learnt that i was pregnant, we were both really shocked" she doesn't explain why they were both really shocked but it seems an odd reaction unless they were using the safest contraception invented or hadn't been told about the bird and the bees.two experiences that touched the heart of gb sanderson were as follows -.

  in russia a jw was jailed for 6 months, the jailers did everything to try to undermine his faith, which included violence.

  included a product placement advertisement of Coca Cola. It's odd that they would use a product that is so iconically recognized.

  it wouldn`t surprise me one bit if they were now being paid by Coca Cola for slipping that product endorsement in their video.

  Maybe we will see more of this subtle form of advertising in their videos from now on.

  After all they are guaranteed millions of viewers will watch that video.

  The right to record your judicial committee meeting

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok.. we have often heard secret recordings online of jc hearings.

  but, what i would like to know is if individuals are entitled to the right of officially recording their judicial hearings?.

  supposing i was to attend a judicial committee and i explained up front that i would like to record the proceedings and then place a dictaphone on the table.

  My thoughts on this is that they will view you as a trouble-maker, not complying with the will or direction of the Elders and have the JC meeting in you absence and pass whatever judgement against you as they see fit.

  And the only way to get around that is to threaten to sue them personally for whatever action they take

  That usually scares the bejesus out of them.

  Another JDub fairy tail

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  now that the talks for this summer's conventions are available online i read through them and they could have been written in the early 70's...same thing no changes.. talk #50 "future events will require courage - the final test" illustrates how jdubs have lost so many brain cells by studying the watchtower and going to meetings that they will not even think about the reasonableness of what the speaker will be saying....they will just be a crowd of bobbleheads.. the outline says "at the end of christ's thousand year reign, satan will be released "for a little while".

  the devil will convince some perfect humans to rebel.

  " my question is how many is some?

  After all of the work to be in a beautiful paradise, God has once again will have to destroy billions of people. Maybethis will be the last time.

  The key word being MAYBE. The flood didn't do it...Armageddon won't do it...why should we think the thousand year test (if there is one) will do it?

  Isn`t their a phrase of some kind that states something along the lines of

  "If you keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome " isn`t that a sign of insanity ?

  Is Jehovah God Insane ?

  The "Old Testament" is full of examples of Jehovah God smiting his foes,those who he was displeased with and ones that made small insignificant innocent mistakes whether they be old men or women young virgins and even children and just for the fact they were of a different tribe that he had chose .

  Jehovah God was excessive in destroying all land animals and vegetation in the global Flood.

  Apparently he is again going to be excessive in destroying Billions of people at Armageddon in the near future

  And after the thousand years of Jesus Christ reign he is going to destroy "those nations in the four corners of the earth ,Gog and Magog to gather them for the war ( another one ) The number of these is as the sands of the sea and they advanced over the breadth of the earth."

  Whose to say it wont happen again and again, many Angels followed satan`s lead and many more could do so after Satan is destroyed

  Their is no guarantee that this cycle would ever end .
