  The real reason so many witnesses end up here....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why do so many witnesses end up coming to forums like this?.

  no doubt it is because of the fact that the society disallows any form of sincere questioning of teachings or doctrines or history etc.... if there was open discussion allowed - free of repercussions and punishment, then no one would feel stifled.

  if genuine concerns could be raised, then no one would feel smothered or unable to share thoughts... then in turn many would not leave.... but due to the high control, authoritarian culture the society has created, many feel trapped, and end up searching outside of official channels...and leaving the society.....

  When I saw the title, I thought there would be a way to tailor, to prepare our own personal, preferred Assembly programs. Like good Home Cooking, satisfying, never dull even after years of partaking.

  Vi: "Here are two galaxies crashing together. Why would an orderly god crash two galaxies into each other?

  Wonderful things happen when galaxies pass through each other. when Andromeda will meet the Milky Way, the closest star will not be 4 light ears, but 2 light years away. may be we will become a dual star system. New stars, planets forming, new youth evolving. Existence is great enough, without the dogmas, the ceremonies.

  The important questions JWs should be asking themselves about this week's Immitate Their Faith study

  by Island Man in

  why did jonah think that he could run away from jehovah?

  did he think that jehovah was a local god whose power and influence would not extend as far as tarshish?

  and why would jehovah choose as his prophet a man like jonah who evidently did not appreciate that jehovah can find you know matter where you go?.

  Yeah, that story is really fishy, 3 days without oxygen, in an acid bath, stranger still, endorsed in the jesus story, tainting these later chapters as well. will that be next week?

  That is religion for you, Theology (talking about "Theos "god"). by contrast, astronomers found that some black-hole spin orientations are aligned in different galaxies over 100 megaparsecs. (~ 100 million times further than the closest star.) apart.

  Kingdom Hall Attenders: Consider Stopping the Use of Loaded Language

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's been a long time since i attended, but i understand that many of you still go to the kingdom hall for your various reasons.. a huge thing that helped me in my mentally breaking from their beliefs was to stop using their terms that put you, virtually automatically, into their thought mode.. using terms like "the truth," jw's feel special about themselves and this helps them separate themselves from "the world.

  " by incorporating loaded language, jw's learn not to think, but merely to memorize words and phrases instead of analyzing a situation.. the reasons someone misses meetings is because they are "spiritually weak.

  " they might be involved in "worldly thinking.".

  Instead of "Jehovah," you might say "God." Instead of "God" say " the creator", or "Our father"

  Brooklyn was at one time slated to become the location of the central US government, so will this failed project now become a partial, hidden reality? from Watch Tower to Trump Tower?. Donald already divesting himself, through family, of his direct business involvement? in anticipation of getting his finger on the red doomsday button? Brooklyn to Armageddon funny conspiracy theory?

  Resolutions at Kingdom Hall

  by sieborg in

  2. beliefs

  anyhow i got to thinking today about my days in the borg and the resolutions that would intermittently be made in the announcements for co visit expenses, sending a donation to society www fund etc.

  my point is that while i was in (almost thirty two years) i never once saw anyone put up their hand to vote against a resolution that the body of elders proposed.

  on a couple of occasions i heard a few hushed murmurs but i never saw one person vote against.

  "Rubber stamp", somehow reminds me of the final scene of Blue Max, the movie, the approval of a foregone, perhaps deadly conclusion.

  wy: "--two eyewitnesses or confession) surely the judicial committee was unscriptural and the decision could/should be rescinded? I might have missed something obvious though.

  Yea, the transcript is short on meaty detail, but 1) a letter, and 2) the testimony of the injured party would constitute two witnesses. Fraud with a possible nigerian connection is notoriously hard to pin down.
