  You know it's time to give up the JW religion when your route call tells you to

  by jambon1 in

  lasting memory of the latter period of time in the organisation:.

  i had a route call with the magazines whom i'd called on for a number of years.

  eventually when i become a parent i became consumed with negativity, doubt (blood issue) & depression.

  Had a Bible Student tell me: "I just don't see a problem with birthdays."

  To myself I said: "Me neither."

  Official Increase in the Number of Jehovah's Witnesses You Shouldn't Trust

  by David_Jay in

  2. beliefs

  reports are coming from witnesses that, once again, the number of memorial partakers has risen considerably this past year, 2016. while confirmation is still to come on the exact numbers, the current explanations given for this increase surely causes a dilemma.. imagine the roman catholic church publishing each year the number of members who it felt were mistaken about what they believed in, that this same number of members was likely suffering from problems such as pride or even mental disorders or something along this line.

  this number, by the way, was in the thousands too and growing annually.

  what would you conclude, therefore about the catholic church and its admission?.

  One more thing:

  The actual partaker count is much higher than what is reported. In our area of the world, we never count partakers that we don't know at the Memorial. I'm sure it's the same for most areas.

  I've actually been in the back of an auditorium debating with other elders whether to count a baptized JW lady as a partaker because she was "inactive". We didn't put her in our report.

  How the holy spirit works according to Watchtower dogma:

  1. The holy spirit tells the anointed to partake
  2. The holy spirit doesn't tell other sheep to NOT partake ... OOPS!

  Witnesses illusion that they have their OWN conscience!! What a joke! Examples.

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  witnesses always claim to have a "bible trained conscience" yet they are really just watchtower robots who cant piss without checking with an elder or watchtower.

  an elder who cuts hair was scared when i asked for a bald buzz cut since my hair was receding and grey.

  he actually rang a bethel elder to see if this was okay watchtower wise!

  Doing sports officially with your school a conscience matter? NOPE, it's just a no-no

  don't they have editors?.

  why can’t they get it through their heads that they aren’t under the mosaic law.. look at the “imperfect food” that was served up at the nov 14 watchtower study.. "3. what can we learn about clothing from god’s law to the israelites?.

  Just like many other sects of Christendom and other religions. Your holy scriptures can be mumbo jumbo'd to fit what ever belief you already have. Even if it doesn't actually make any sense at all, your sheeple shall follow.

  When you stop & think about it ,why would Gods chosen people in the Old testament need an army ?

  by smiddy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as the op states why would israel /jewish nation need to have an army at all ?

  if they were the chosen people as the bible states under a theocracy , why would the men of israel need an army .?

  to protect them ?.

  "Seed" preservation is one of the worst apologetics for this question. There is no need for a seed, Abel could have been born Jesus. No need to drag shit out for 4000 years.

  "the bible" is a name of a "book" that we all use and throw around. However, it is one of those few words where we grant too much to it. "Bible" is a word without any definite meaning.

  Which translation? Why?

  Which master texts is it based on? Why?

  What texts were the master texts based on? And how were variants handled and why?

  What texts are considered canon and what was not? Why?

  Interpretation of whatever phrases are in their Bible of choice is what actually matters the most. Yet most Christians and especially JWs deny that the Bible is open for interpretation, and they also categorically deny that any of their teachings are "interpretations". "Scripture interprets scripture" "Interpretations belong to God"

  oh lordy

  Proverbs 4:18 "light gets brighter"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we are all familiar with the classic use by the society of proverbs 4:18 about "light getting brighter".

  they say it applies to revealed truth, and doctrinal changes etc.. have you ever just read that chapter (and even the surrounding chapters) in full??.

  it has nothing to do with doctrinal changes or teachings.. it has to do with acquiring wisdom and life skills in order to live a successful life.

  if the bible says what it says and doesn't say what it doesn't say then =

  THIS SCRIPTURE IS TALKING ABOUT THE "PATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS ONE",

  it doesn't say:

  "In the last days of this world Jehovah will have a mouthpiece that gets a lot of things wrong."

  Sex & Divorce

  by IMHO in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  1. you can't have sex until your married.. 2. you're not married until you've gone through a legal ceremony.. 3. you get 'unscriptually' (although legally) divorced therefore not 'free' to remarry'.

  4. can you still 'scriptually' have sex with your former spouse?.

  I've always wanted to ask this same question because many people are in this situation. And all are told by elders to remain celibate, yet there is no discussion of this in Watchtower print anywhere.

  If you are married in the eyes of Jehovah then you can f*ck in the eyes of Jehovah. This is logical, but of course JW dogma and logic have never been friends.
