Armageddon started...

by mikeflood in

just joking i really don't think so...but the situation in syria is pretty worrisome...just hearing the news that france and great britain are attacking with cruise missiles in 72 hours.

i mean assad is not gonna gasify his adversaries when he almost won the civil war.

trump too suspended a very important trip to the latinoamerican presidents summit in peru, just to 'oversee the american response to syria.

Facts and details never seem to enter into a JW`s understanding of what they are supposed to believe .

King of the North /King of the South ? Who are they ? JW`s don`t know.

The attack on world religion ? It hasn`t happened and is not likely to happen anytime soon. ?

The so called last Judgemental message that is supposed to be given by JW`s D2D before the Great tribulation and Armageddon as opposed to the life saving message they were supposed to be giving these past 100+ years ?

Just a few of the "facts" that the GB of JW`s have stated in their publications that must happen before the end comes and they enter into paradise .

The destruction of "Babylon the Great"

by Sour Grapes in

i read the talk outline #49 for this summer's regional convention entitled "future events that will require courage-the destruction of babylon the great.".

the jdubs live in a comic book world.

babylon the great is all false religious organizations and she is destroyed by those she seeks to control.

I thought that the fall of Babylon the Great was in the past tense. Wasn't that the title of the book "Babylon The Great Has Fallen."

"Babylon The Great Has Fallen Gods Kingdom Rules"

True NY44M ,This book by the WT went into great detail how Babylon The Great had fallen and that God`s Kingdom rules and showing the decline in religious belief (according to them ) and how true worship ( JW`s ) was to reign supreme.

According to the book BTG GKR it was to include ALL religions of the earth with Christendom being the main offender and especially the R.C.Church for portraying the Pope as the Vicar Of Christ on Earth.

I see if not a decline then at least a stagnation of belief in the Jehovah`s Witness religion today and an upsurge in non Christian religions around the world .

I guess this is another publication of the JW`s that is destined for the scrap heap if it hasn`t already done so.

Detroit the movie on Netflix anybody seen it ?

by smiddy3 in

a movie about the riots in the seventies in the city of detroit but especially with the reason for the riots and the attitude of police and how the nation treated people of colour.

and how they treated them and how the justice system failed them .. based on a true story.

i found it very confronting yet compelling to watch.. humans have a tendency to lump everybody together in the same basket ,however we are not all the same, their is good and bad in every race and culture whether they are black, white or brindle .. anybody seen it and like to comment ?.

Thanks Simon I will have to read the book "The Algiers Motel Incident" and according to the link you posted the movie while taking poetic license in some areas was largely accurate on the whole and the book could clear up those points.

Need blood? Save your life, here's why.

by LevelThePlayingField in

so here's the point regarding blood transfusions.

notice jesus asks the pharisees if it was lawful on the sabbath to save a life.

so, can you break god's law to save your life if it came to that?

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

by Jules Saturn in

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

jw
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.

smiddy3

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.
