  RC Was Worse Than I thought...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was visiting with my family and it seems the rc was worse than i thought.

  now they all seem to think that "we are so close to the end" and that the "brothers are really preparing us for the gt".

  some even saying that soon our message will change to a judgement message for mankind and talking about how we need to improve "everything we do".

  remember too, that according to their predictions, the anointed GB will disappear at the beginning of the Great Tribulation, poof, and the R&F will be left holding the empty bag, and deal with the real trouble and aftermath, whatever that will be, not a paradise., and that is the positive outcome for wt, in reality, nothing of the above will happen,

  what do you guys think?.

  are they only some uber religious zealots or do they pursue hidden agendas beyond religiosity?.

  look what happened to R. Franz, a devoted man if ever there was one, GB member, backed by family, still he was not at the pinnacle of absolute power. A whole horde of others brought him down.

  Jesus has provided his people with spiritual food at the proper time. (Matt. 24:45-47) It is all His fault, like the whole "God's Kingdom Rules " book shows. Enjoy the study to come! and: thanks blondie.

  Questions for JW's from Christians

  by Perry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm thinking of printing a tract with some simple but thought-provoking questions for people to use when jw's come to their doors.

  questions from christians.

  bible-believing christians appreciate the moral values of jehovah’s witnesses in their communities but have several questions that somehow seem to escape us when we are caught unexpectedly at our doors.

  Smiddy: "Isn`t their over 40,000 different Christian sects already ? I have not counted, but members of every one of them should be shown how wrong they are, with effective tools. particularly those cults that insist on being in a militant attack mode. I always had fun with mormon young elders.

  I gave it a "like", because JWs at the doors have to be confronted with ready ammunition against their bible twisting balled up, inbred teachings. After all, they go to the doors of mostly Christians proclaiming "we are right you are wrong", yet there is no scriptural support for their " salvation without partaking", work for a thousand years doctored doctrine. now, if snakes really talked we would need salvation.

  Embracing, Not Running From, My Repressive JW Heritage, Finding A Few Things Worth Salvaging

  by TMS in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yes, we could have been born in an alley in calcutta or with the physical deformities associated with thalidomide.

  instead, we were born into or introduced to a repressive, american, religious cult, that shielded us from the warmongering game of chess, the militaristic boy scouts, fornication-inducing sock hops, the twist, as well as the hokey pokey.

  we heeded the warnings, avoiding the greedy self-worship associated with masturbation, decadent rock 'n roll and anything preceded by the word "extra-curricular.".

  As a potential loser, Beta-Omega male, without the wt conditioning [them] I would have never been considered by the tall, slim, educated females that considered me worthy company in my early wt years, and "jack-pot" (my worldly sister's evaluation) wives. So, it was good training, but resources draining. lessons learned for the future? what future? Freedom from false hopes. and embracing the embraceable.

  Orginal sin: Tree of knowledge of good and evil

  by dreddie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  telling and knowing the truth.. it is your job to tell and know the truth and not be decived by the lies of satan.. believing this, you need the knowledge of what is good and evil.

  because with the bible you believe you can know the truth.

  where there is no knowledge of the truth and good and evil.

  A Comment by Lieu Made It Obvious That I Could Not Be A JW in 2016

  by TMS in

  2. beliefs

  the following comment by lieu on another topic shows me that i would be totally frustrated, actually exasperated, stifled and depressed in the modern form of jwdom: "therein lies the real problem billy, no one is paying any attention at regular meetings let alone conventions.

  it's too boring, intentionally i think.

  humans aren't hardwired to sit through hours of lecture with no interactions.

  What we have now is just ministry demos. yes, no more school. gifted straight A students doing bible readings for 10 years, without even a concluding comment allowed. Wt does not see itself as creating an army of capable virtuoso solo performers but as training hordes of worker drones serving and advertising the machine.

  These demonstrations of family worship night, house to house and back calls, home bible study work probably are meant to filter down into the everyday world of all jws, but how realistic are they? I can not see them ever working in our territory , in our families. a boring dream world of the wt planners.

  Home bookstudy ended because of 'independent study' groups? Any interesting stories regarding these types of groups?

  by Nicodemus Kathoplizo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  someone suggested the other day that the home bookstudy meeting ended because of 'independent study' groups (in ireland) going 'off the reservation' and left the truth (tm).. has anyone heard of this before?.

  does anyone have interesting stories of 'independent study' groups resulting in large scale apostasy?.

  they did not publish this for no reason:.

  k 99: "Every congregation would have a group at the hall taking up a night a week.. as part of the dispersed small book study groups there was one for each congregations at the hall, for disfellowshipped and nearby jws. now with the study as the final part of a weekday meeting, there was no need for that arrangement, all come to the hall, combined with the then school and service meeting.
