  Silent And Sweet Rebellion Going On Within JW Organization!

  by lsw1961 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after 1975, the vast majority remained as though nothing has happened.

  but some left the organization.

  however, there arose a third category who did not leave the organization, but brought a new view into their heart: jws are right in their core cause (gods kingdom as the solution to mankinds problems) but may or may not be right in their supplementary teachings, hence are not bothered about changes happening in this unimportant area..

  berrygerry--group think--, an interesting concept, finely honed by the WTBtS inc.

  Does your group think that there was a talking snake, above Everest flood, walking on water, floating axes, sun standing still, reversing?

  --- those who have cultivated Kingdom qualities are like the butterfly ----

  sw1961

  sounds exciting since the butterfly stage has all the sex in it. , but since Kingdom also implies rule, be wary.. sooner or later rule might show it's ugly metamorphosis again.

  Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.

  world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.

  so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

  The Appeal and Draw of the Watchtower

  by Saved_JW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i first left the watchtower organization in 2008, a flood of emotions came back to me.

  betrayal, anger, resentment, deep depression from the relationships lost.

  emotions seemed to guide my viewpoint of others as well.

  Heaven only got involved in the selection process in 1919.

  Heaven "liked the idea" ca, 1918 "Millions now living will never die" better than just "you will not die".

  not dying a big attraction. one less thing to worry about; now, just concentrate on pleasing the elders to be appointed too.

  Elder On Tablet During Prayer

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during a prayer in the kh all our eyes are supposed to be closed, right?

  i've never been one to fully my eyes during prayers.

  i'll close them down, but just enough that i can still peep around at what's happening without being noticed.. there's something i've noticed a certain elder doing for the second time now.

  I like to watch the elder's wife getting all straightened up for the power trip after the closing prayer, all but correcting the lipstick, lashes and powder.

  i remember at my teen years when i was studying with a brother that he said to me that there was no rain before the flood.

  instead there was this mist that you have.

  never before or after this have i heard something like this.

  And remember, this was only about two thousand years before Christ.

  Or, just within one overlapping generation after the creation of Mankind.

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses marriages even legit?

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this because of the circumstances behind why they get married and who they get married by.

  i know people say that they are really in love, they love jehovah, etc, but are these marriages even legit.

  i've talked to older jw's sister who are now widowed, some of them say that they were trapped in a marriages.

  Lets also remember that god made a covenant with Noah to save him and his family. Nowhere was there a provision to save anyone else. In the book of Peter where it says that Noah was a preacher that's complete bunk. Also after the flood god wants Noah to sacrifice animals to him because he likes the sweet smell, so how many animals went extinct?. And last but not least god regrets killing man and even though he knows man will be evil again he says he will never kill mankind off this way, So what was the point of doing it in the first place.

  
  

  Even ~70 % of individuals in many animal species were to be killed, even though they survived the flood. and Jesus said the Great Tribulation, Armageddon will be like Noah's experience. We hope you are clean!

  Question for believers, heaven or earth?

  by Tornintwo in

  1. watchtower

  just trying to figure out what i believe in the wake of leaving the borg.

  jesus message appeals, of course.

  i just wanted to ask believers, christians, on this forum if you think the hope is heaven or earth.

  Back to the OP, torn I am a believer, as you know, and go to church. Most Protestant churches believe (tho they don't talk about it much) that people go to heaven, and sometime in the future, there is an earthly hope,
  

  Does not the Catholic credo also stipulate the brief "resurrection of the flesh" for judgement of the last day?

  Deism: wait and see, or not, but use your time on this paradise earth wisely; that is why people heading for greener fields by the millions right now into Europe. Heaven and the 70 virgins can wait.

  Book Review: The Hunt for Vulcan: . . . And How Albert Einstein Destroyed a Planet, Discovered Relativity, and Deciphered the Universe

  by Viviane in

  i recently read this book and found it to be excellent.

  it's the story of how we never stop knowing, how science works (even when it doesn't), how gracefully math can describe the world we live in and more.

  the story begins with how sir isaac newton, author of pricipia mathematica and holder of the lucasian chair at cambridge, developed math to describe the gravity and the motion of the planets with no need god holding them in place.
