  When are Jehovah`s witnesses going to go D.2.D with their NWT of the Bible in Countries like Pakistan ,Bangladesh ,Indonesia ,Qatar ,Saudi Arabia ? just to name a few ?

  Which countries are virtually untouched by any such " witnessing" in their over 100 years existence ?

  What has the enthroned King Christ Jesus been doing these past 100+ years ?

  The only "witnessing" ever been done by J.W.`s is poaching off what Christendom has gone and done before them .I doubt if their is any virgin territory they have ever gone into without Christendom having gone in their before them

  J.W.`s are parasites .! Bleeding off Christendom .

  Do you miss that initial "high" ??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. experiences

  do you remember the first time you found out "the truth about the truth"?.

  yes, it was confronting, shocking and life altering.

  yes it was hard to deal with.. but, along with that, many have said that they experienced a sense of thrill, euphoria, or joy when realising the facts about the religion that held us captive mentally and physically for so long.. it was liberating to learn some of the controversial teachings etc.

  As others have already commented on I would hardly call it a " High" either .More like a "Low" having the rug pulled out from under your feet and just beginning to realize that all you believed and would stake your life on was not what it was cracked up to be .

  I didn`t want to believe that it was just another man made religion , one that originated in America ? Could I have been that gullible ?

  It was devastating at first , I had trouble taking in and believing all that I was learning from the first sites I came across such as Shaun`s site ,Free Minds ,and eventually this one .

  Only when I stopped being a "Captive Of A Concept " (Don Cameron) can I say I am on a" high" and have been for may years now.

  I thank you to all those unknown friends that have helped me to where I am now in a good place in my life .

  Exactly ! bennyk my thoughts also.

  On the one hand they claim not to have a clergy Class to their members and publicly and on the other hand we all know that they do have a clergy class in practice.

  The Governing Body act as "Popes"

  District Overseers and Circuit Overseers are another level of "Clergy"

  As are Elders in the congregations, all mimicking the different levels of Clergy in Christendom .

  They show themselves up as the hypocrites they are .

  Rising allegations

  by Freedom rocks in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  hi does anyone think that with the rise in abuse cases in the uk and the rest of the world and the w5 video as well as many others exposing the organisation that the society might use the loyalty to the organisation as brainwashing to keep people in?

  they might say its all lies and an attack by satan and have to stay loyal and not believe any of it.

  i bet quite a few will leave.

  How about this: You come with something that actually jibes with what JWs practice and teach.

  How about this Bobby2446 ?

  Kingdom Interlinear Translation Of The Christian Greek Scriptures which contains the Greek Text and does not contain the name /word Jehovah ?

  It does not contain the Tetragrammaton nor does it contain a Greek form of those four Hebrew letters that make up the four Hebrew letters representing the name Jehovah.

  They just do not appear in the New Testament writings .

  Cancer in Animals

  by Normalfulla in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we were taught sickness and death is a result of the sin inherited from adam and eve, so why do animals get cancer?

  they are supposedly still as big j intended, so therefore cancer is a creation by the big fella himself?.

  just an exercise for one's who believe in the whole bible story thing.. (not me)... any others anomalies you can think of ?

  Gen.3:20 States that Jehovah clothed Adam and Eve with Skins ,did he kill these animals to do that ? or were their dead carcasses of animals lying about in anticipation of their sinning and needing to be clothed ?

  Also ,who were they hiding their nakedness from ? Jehovah ? He made them that way naked ?

  Besides their was nobody else on earth to see them ?

  Beard update

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. physical

  so it's been over a month since i decided to grow a beard.

  the mustache and chin have come in fuller than i ever imagined - while the cheeks leave me wondering if i'll ever grow enough hair to make it not look so wildly unkept and patchy (if anyone has any advice here it'd be much appreciated).

  but in the mean time i'll give it another month and see how it goes.. .

  Do any of the JWs go out door to door with a territory any more?

  by Spiral in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i actually had a neighbor ask me that the other day (she knows i'm an "ex" jw) and i didn't really know the answer.

  i know there's a bit of cart witnessing going on (small town) and a lot of driving around to return visits.. but are they actually doing territory, not-at-homes, all of that?

  the neighbor said that eight years ago, when she bought her house, the jws were by "all the time".

  A small group of J.W.`s were going D2D a few blocks from my place on Saturday morning and they looked to be teenagers and one young family couple with a pusher .{ poor kid unless the parents wake up }

  Useruser1914 send order a couple of pm`s over a couple of days and if you don`t hear anything back by pm from him/her then they obviously don`t want to converse with you .

  So then you just move on .
