This Is It...

by JW_Rogue in

just finished watching the talk by tony morris on john cedars channel.

sounded to me that he was hedging his bets.

on the one hand he says "this is it" and out of the other he says prophecies are best understood after they are fulfilled.

smiddy3

prophecies are best understood after they are fulfilled.

And this statement is coming from a GB member who is a recipient and directed by God`s Holy Spirit ?

What`s the point of a prophecy then ?

Therapist can help

by Leopold theseconed in

hey everyone my nice new friends.

i had my first visit with a therapist today.

i was totally open with everything.

I believe this site is therapy for me ,don`t get me wrong I`m not knocking you guys for going to a professional therapist ,I just feel that people on this site know more about where I`m coming from than a non JW.

And I feel speaking my mind and getting feedback off all you guys has been a tremendous help to me .

Whatever works for you I say.

Take care .

Could/should JW Lawyer be punished for deceiving the Judge?

by The Fall Guy in

in an attempt to disparage a faded jw and to obtain their personal details, he deceptively partially quoted a statement from the jw.borg web site to the new york judge when he wrote, .

"disfellowshipping does not cause family relationships to be permanently lost: "the religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain.

the marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue.

Don`t hold your breath !

Did Geoffrey Jackson get punished for misleading the Australian royal commission ? When he said " it would be presumptuous on my part to say that " when asked if JW`s were the only religion that God was dealing with( or some such question .)

Did Vincent O`Toole (lawyer) get punished when he misled the ARC when asked about "theocratic warfare" and stated he had heard about the phrase but never knew what it meant .Again( words to that effect.)

Yearbook 2014 NWT is The Finest Translation of the Bible Available to Mankind. 😇

by Fabian in

the is on page 4 of the 2014 yearbook.. a letter from the governing body.

how delighted we are to write you at the beginning of this momentous year!

by late 2014, a whole century will have passed since our beloved king jesus christ began ruling in the midst of his enemies.—ps.

If the Bible was truly Gods word in the first place why do so many Bible Translators have to keep on making revisions of the Bible ?

Is the creator of the universe not capable of articulating himself well enough in the first place ?

Awake 1990 "I'm Afraid I'll Get Disfellowshipped.

by Fabian in

again cleaning/organizing my huge collection of jws books, i happened to go now pick up the 1990 awake and stumbled on this march 22, 1990 page 27. .

it is true that one cannot back out of a dedication to god.

(compare ecclesiastes 5:4.

smiddy3

Fabian ,don`t take any notice of what the JW/WT/GB says they are false prophets that have never got any of there predictions right in over a 140 years .

So you can safely dismiss anything that comes out of there mouths .

Its typical of there indoctrination FOG ,Fear ,Obligation,Guilt ,to keep you captive within there religion.

So what if the JW`s DF you ?Is it the end of the world ?

What if the SDA DF me ? would i be worried ? No

What if the LDS/Mormons DF me saying I`m not worthy ,would I be worried ?

Of course not ,keep it all in perspective ,"Religion is a snare and a racket" .from the president of the JW`s

J.F.Rutherford.

Life as a Perfect Human in the New System of Things

by RubaDub in

i have always wondered how basic things that we do to ourselves will be handled as "perfect" human beings.. i recall someone here had a quote from an old wt that said that if we fall off a roof or something that there will be some "force" to soften the fall and we will not be injured.. but, as a perfect human, if we travel to mexico and drink water from the tap, will we get the squirts, flying shits, montezuma's revenge, or whatever you wish to call it?

maybe we will be protected as perfect human beings and have colons that also are perfect.

but who knows.. just pondering these common things that we take for granted.. rub a dub.

smiddy3

Adam and Eve were perfect and they stuffed up ?

So what makes you think you won`t also ?

Being perfect doesn`t mean you can`t stuff up ,

So what`s the difference of being perfect and not being perfect ?

How much longer until more people believe the earth is flat?

by Crazyguy2 in

jw
friends

how much longer until more people believe the earth is flat then there are jws?

with these youtube channels using propaganda and the bible i believe over a million people now believe the earth is flat.

it maybe not much longer.

smiddy3

Seriously there can`t be anybody who really truly believe the earth is flat like a coin can there ?

When you look at the moon or any of the planets through a telescope it is obvious they are a sphere /globe.

When the astronauts took photos of the earth from the moon it is obvious that the earth is a sphere/globe.

And for those who still have there head up there arse it wasn`t just one moon landing there have been six over the years with a total of twelve humans who have walked on the moon .

So I don`t believe anybody in there right mind still accept that the earth is flat .

Never in my wildest dream would I ever see one of those dog gone carts

by Tameria2001 in

i moved to where i'm currently living for 10 years now.

once in a while, i would have jws come to my door and every single time either i or my husband would send them on their merry way, although my husband is quite rude about it.

i'm not sure when the cart witnessing (or whatever it is called) started up, but the only time i ever heard about it was on the internet, or someone here talking about it.

smiddy3

Of course its a young kid who is manning the cart who has no idea of all the flip flops ,false prophecies of the end times in over 140 years of the big "A" and the GT being just around the corner which by the way is on a roundabout ,so its never going to happen .

Seriously ? this is what they have stooped to ?

So pathetic.,

In Bible time`s, Israel under a Theocracy their were still wars with other nations ,their was still a leprosy colony among them ,and it was stated their will always be the poor among you ,with a provision for them in the law.

It doesn`t sound like utopia/ paradise to me thank you .

Past 12 months, #watchtower has obtained more than 36 unique subpoenas

by Not_Culty in

https://twitter.com/mark_j_odonnell/status/1095514606657851392.

"in the past 12 months, #watchtower has obtained more than 36 unique subpoenas to identify the people who have posted their documents, leaked videos, & images from their publications.

this #watchhunt is a coordinated effort to locate & punish the leak sources.".

smiddy3

Can you imagine Jesus copywriting what he has said ? or any of the authors of the Bible books copywriting what they have spoken about ?

Or giving out subpoenas to those who distributed their words to the general public ?

How about Jehovah copywriting the word of GOD ?

He could have a field day giving out subpoenas to all of those that publish his works surely .
