It's just dawned on me...
by Billygoat in...that jw's have a hard time forgiving others because they themselves are rarely forgiven for their own sins.
according to their beliefs jehovah keeps track of every detail of your life...good and bad.
that even if you are humble and repent of your sins, that there is still no true forgiveness until the new system.

closer2fine: where would you like me to bite you babe?
ashitaka: I like asses.
Billygoat:
sorry for being jerky towards you. sometimes I act stupid. I'm really sorry about your relationship with your dad. Maybe if you try to find a common ground with him, well its just a thought. I loved my dad very much (I lost him a couple of years back) and I don't know what I would have done without his love and advise. I wish you had the same. I think communication is done better in person, instead of by email. Hope someday you two can patch things up.

Why can some question and others not
by joelbear inwe are not jehovah's witnesses because of a variety of circumstances, but one thing we all share is that we question.. what factors come together to make us questioners?.
intelligence?
but i know a lot of very smart non-questioning jehovah's witnesses.. bravery?

JT:
I understand your point. Thanks for writing that long post. It made me think.
I have one more comment. There are many black and white areas today that are directly handled biblically. For example, you should not kill, should not steal etc. Those are clear. But there are also many gray areas that are handled by the Service department of the WT. They try to weigh those gray areas with Bible laws and principles. There have been many adjustments and I have to say that Jehovah will judge even the organization for mistakes.

He's probably tired of you going on and on and on and on and on and on with silly doubts and criticism of Jehovahs people.

joel:
Inaccuracy of information discovered through personal reading and research.
Was this personal reading of apostate material?Hypocrisy in the bureaucracy I saw in how the organization is actually ran.
I don't doubt that you saw hypocrisy from some witnesses. Like I said, bad elements infiltrate even Jehovahs people. Eventually they are cleansed out.Unanswered questions similar to the one's I have recently outlined here regarding Jehovah's justice system as taught by the Watchtower or any other religion for that matter.
I guess you are refeering to Judicial Committees, but I don't know much about your questions, try me.Make me believe and I will follow.
I am not here to do that. I respect your views, you seem like a logical and sincere person. Each one makes decisions to either stay in the organization or leave, but we must live with the consequences. -

Like the Watchtower? Awake?
You mean "not critical" of the WTS?
If one wants that, better stick to Borg publications.
O.k. provide unbiased information regarding the Watchtower and I will take a look at it.
