  Change of mindset.

  by thedog1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been a witness for a long time and still serve as an elder.

  there have been a lot of changes to deal with in the last six months or so since i stumbled on this site due to questions i had about all the recent changes in understanding published in the wt.

  many posters here talk about a cult personality and a real personality.

  the trouble with the Jw mindset is that they insist on doing nothing to help mankind positively today ..because god will help them tomorrow. If a man was starving to death they'd give him a recipe book instead of a food.........

  The End of Circuit Overseers

  by wisdomfrombelow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am sure that the term "circuit overseer" will be gone soon.

  they seem to be changing vocabulary and the presiding overseer is now the "coordinator of the body of elders" and all "district overseers" will be gone in a few months.

  they used to be called "circuit servants" but they will never re-hash an old term so they will make a new term.

  Where Do You Think That Plane Is?

  what do you think happened?

  random points:

  a).is there any way of proving exact amount of fuel on plane..ie. if a plot then perhaps plane had extra fuel to travel further.

  b) if hijacked (if)..then no group will claim responsibilty as it would flag up danger and perhaps stall any deviant purpose they might have yet to use plane for.

  c) if hijacked / in danger why no mobile phone calls/texts from passengers ( assuming phones not in flight mode)

  just random thoughts.....either way my thoughts are with the families of missing persons..must be awful for them being in limbo...

  initially I thought it must have crashed in jungle and maybe have survivors...but time will eventually reveal its fate.....it cannot have simply disappeared..

  I suspect the wives of such retired ones will be a major force to be reckoned with when they come to terms with reduced quality of life etc as husbands die leaving them exposed to financial hardship into old age......

  Israel ... Jehovah ... The Promised Land ... Genocide

  2. beliefs

  this is a topic that i was always uncomfortable with, but, as a good indoctrinated jw got myself to accept the spin.

  of course, now that i am out, when i speak with other "christian" friends, they make the same excuses.

  god's ways are above our ways ... okay, sure ... but really???.

  i find it hard to fathom the god of the bible....supposedly the reason why mankind is suffering is because the issue of sovereignty was raised in garden of eden.....but the more i think about this viewpoint the more i fail to see why a god would a) have allowed his sovereignty to be challenged ( in this case by 'satan')....and b) subjecting mankind to suffering for so long just to prove god's righteousness is rather like me as a father allowing an intruder into the home to murder my children and me saying 'there you are...i'm a good dad..'....logic fails me in all of this..
