  I Ended my Bible Study

  by Maria Nieves in

  i ended my bible study today.

  several months ago, i began to feel that the truth was not the truth.

  as the months progressed, my feelings intensified.

  Ask yourself Maria why is the God of the "Old Testament " such a blood thirsty war mongering God who by his own actions was responsible for millions of deaths of man woman and child in most cases simply because they were in the way of Israel`s expansion program.?

  ( In contrast Satan is only credited to being responsible for about 10 deaths in that period.)

  As opposed to the God of the New Testament "who loved the world so much he gave his only begotten son " who preached "turn the other cheek" "forgive your brother not 7 times but 77 times " " do not judge one another "

  and so on.

  The bible says God doesn`t change ,if your study wants you to resume your study again ask her to answer those questions and don`t let her get away with deflecting the question ,pin her down on it.

  Welcome chad a mixture of those with faith those with little faith and those with no faith here I look forward to your input.

  I've listened to every walter martin sermon i could, read his books, and developed this intense love and compassion for those trapped in high control religious organizations like the wtbts.

  You say you operate a small non denoninational ministry isn`t that just another cult albeit a low control group ?

  Just asking.

  An honest experience D2D witnessing work that no-one will ever hear from a Convention platform.

  That many of us here would feel the same.

  Thanks for sharing Emptyinside.

  i’m not interested in becoming a jehovah’s witness but have nothing against people who are, or whatever religion someone chooses to follow for that matter.

  My question is Viarayne why would you want to marry and tie yourself down with someone with all of these potential serious relationship issues in the first place ?

  Marriages between couples can have enough problems of their own in living with each other without having known problems before you even tie the knot .

  It just seems a stupid risk to take .

  but that`s just my opinion,go ahead if you think you can change him or have a stress free life with him.

  Scanning and Sending Medical Records Through Emails--Circuit Overseer Letter!

  by Atlantis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  atlantis, do you have the circuit overseer's letter, where they say they scan and send your medical records through emails?

  isn't that against the law?.

  you would need to speak with those on the board with legal knowledge on that subject, because i am not qualified in such legal matters.

  Please excuse my ignorance in such matters AA ,but why then haven`t the WT/JW/GB had their arse sued off by now ?

  Or prosecuted for being in violation of GDPR law ?

  What`s the good of sanctions and laws if they are seldom enforced ? If at all ?

  I do agree with her as to why they have to put up a guard so to speak around such protesters which seems to be the normal procedure for JW`s .

  It only emphasises the cult nature of the JW`s

  They would do better just to ignore them .

  But then again the more they advertise themselves as a cult religion all the better.

  One of the points of conventions: obedience training

  by john.prestor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think a lot these days about people who train you to be obedient without telling you that's what they're doing.

  the thought occurred to me that that could be part of the idea of regional conventions.

  it's not like they present much of anything new to the audience, it's the same old talks year after year, the same old information, yeah, repackaged a little, different themes, different illustrations, but the same information, obey the faithful slave, armageddon is imminent, go door-to-door, the usual.

  Lets face it the GB do not rely on Holy Spirit

  ,They rely on Psychology Of The Human Mind , also on Successful Salesmen Pitch and How to Manipulate Your Audience .

  Caboolture Kingdom Hall sold in 2009 for $1,650,00 Australian dollars. Now owned by Salvation Army.

  If you or I had any dealings in any way that would be a benefit to one of Babylon The Greats Churches ,you or I would face a JC and be dealt with accordingly .

  Apparently the same rules do not apply to the WT Organization when money is involved.
