  Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.

  by AuntConnie in

  1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .

  i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.

  my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

  please bear with me here.

  it's been some time since i accessed the forum and 8 years since i really read any of the wts pubs or attended any meetings.

  so, in a nutshell, if someone will indulge me, what's the latest twists the wts has come up with on their doctrines, teachings, etc?.

  kozmo " So, in a nutshell, if someone will indulge me, what's the latest twists the WTS has come up with on their doctrines, teachings, etc?"

  The latest doctrine that supersedes all others and is the only teaching that must to be focused on and preached is:

  All your spare money belongs to the Watchtower Society. It must be surrendered without delay as they are short of funds due to the loss of revenue from the sale of publications. This was caused by them having to stop charging for literature in order to keep their charity status.

  Do People Believe We Are Condemned B/c of Adam and Eve?

  by Band on the Run in

  i find the notion that we inheirited sin through adam and eve to be a quaint, silly notion.

  if you believe in the power of god, why would god create such a flawed creation?

  few people believe the stories in genesis.

  unstopableravens "you cant say nobody does because there are alot of us who do..."

  When I said "n o one seriously believes..." I was hinting at the interesting defensive ability the mind has to believe something at one level while knowing deep down that it is implausible. I believe it is called cognitive dissidence. My apologies if you do seriously believe the story to be real.

  This rotten apple has been done to death.

  No one seriously believes the - I don’t Adam & Eve it - story to be literal. Scholars can’t agree on whether it was written by Moses. As he wasn’t even born at the time these events were supposed to have taken place, place it seems likely that the whole thing was plundered from existing mythology. If you really want to know what happened - track down the original serpent the one called Satan and get him to fess up.

  Does the Bible contradict itself?

  by exwhyzee in

  our old jw friend who is about to shun us says,there's nothing in the bible that contradicts itself?.

  .

  can anyone think of certain scriptures that could prove otherwise?.

  THE BIBLE is a collection of 66 books one of them only 2 pages long. They were selected from many manuscripts many of which were rejected as unsuitable. It has been retranslated, edited and manipulated to a point where most Christians have ceased to defend its authenticity or even recognize it as the word of ‘God.’ It is an unreliable and flawed source of reference.

  Of course it contradicts itself as does all legend and mysticism and all attempts to fabricate truth. Truth is to be found in nature which never contradicts itself. It never lies or attempts to explains itself, it simply is reality.

  The idea that we are condemned is part of legend and fable.

  We die of old age like every living creature and plant on the planet. Such is the cycle of life.
