  Another brother steps back

  by konceptual99 in

  so at the meeting this week it was announced that a certain brother was no longer serving as a ministerial servant.. this is a guy who was brought up in a different country as his family went to serve where the need was greater.

  this is a guy who was home schooled and went straight into pioneering.

  he then went and worked on building projects in various places in europe and africa.

  Thier already irrelevant, they just don't know it yet. Most people in the world never heard of the cult and those that have could care less.

  HOW the WatchTower leaders flipped the script on Christianity

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  worship of jesus was declared to be an act of idolatry!.

  we are going to examine the cataclysmic changeover in christian teaching exploding inside the watchtower religion in the early 50’s by exploring a background of the history of jesus’ place in christianity.

  jw teaching about the nature of jesus’ importance in the salvation of mankind will be compared with christian history.

  Early Christianity was about the worship of a new God Christ. Even the New Testament was about establishing this new God and it even says he was elevated to god like status with the highest of names. The Angels also did an act of worship to him etc.. Later the trinity doctrine was established melding the son God with the father God, this was not uncommon for father and son were considered much the same in culture and in pagan pantheons often times the new God took the powers of the older God.

  So when Christians today elevated Jesus and people worship him that's exactly what Christianity was meant to do. New God new religion.

  moreover, some of you may know that i study the history of early christianity.

  Turn out the lights the party is over

  i think the reason the borg really went on a cost cutting move and is selling off all thier buildings has become obvious.

  the cult is telling people that there fast growing but then the numbers seem to indicate about a 1% growth rate.

  this would give them roughly 800,000 new baptized ones in ten years give or take do to the small increase per year from previous gains.

Then on the other hand at least 250,000 are leaving, dying or being dfd. This gives us a total of 2.5 million that's 1,700,000 in the negative.

  I know this has been talked about before but it's always nice to hear some good news!! There loosing 2 million per decade. How long can that's last.

  hi.i have a 13 year old daughter that i still have for a limited time as she comes to stay about one night a month at present.the law here in australia is on my side in that the australian governments stand is that the child needs regular access to both parents .

  i am currently arranging for mediation to have her more often .

  her mother can not stand that i am living with another woman and doesn't want her here .

  I would be proactive at teaching her about all the problems with the bible. Noah's flood is a good place and how all the evidence shows there never was a global flood. Anyway if your not proactive the cult will mess her mind up and even if she stops being a JW she may have guilt issues etc if she is not properly educated.

  For JWs..Jesus, The Way, The Truth, The LIfe.

  by somebody in

  1. jw

  · for what reasons does jesus have the formerly demonized man tell others about what jesus did?.

  but jesus tells the man: “go home to your relatives, and report to them all the things jehovah has done for you and the mercy he has shown you.”—mark 5:19.. .

  (mark 5:18-20) .

  It's like Romans chapter 8 or 10 where they say all who call on the name of jehovah will be saved yet the scriptures just before mention Jesus , so if you read it in context in thier bible Jesus is jehovah .

  Single Sisters Over A Certain Age Group Getting A Bad Rap

  by HiddlesWife in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i'm new here; one of my relatives was a member on this forum a few years ago and told me about it.

  anyways, as a sister who has been in the org since childhood and now in her late 40's (plus as a woman of color), i have noticed that a number of brothers have an ageist attitude.

  they are very accepting of young women under 26 and rejecting women over that age, particularly those in their 30's and over.. is this an unspoken mindset from wthq (specifically from bethel), or is it that quite a number of males (sorry, i'm not sexist here) have this type of mentality?

  When I was dating if a sister was older then 23 or so everyone figured there was something wrong with her. In most cases it's was right , sisters we're usually engaged by the time they turned 18.

  What The Org Teaches: #2 THE GREAT TRIBULATION

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  every single bible student/jehovah's witness who has ever lived, has been indoctrinated to believe that a catastrophic great tribulation would very soon engulf the entire earth, causing untold death & destruction.

  this spurious teaching is drummed into every j.w.

  's head and used by them as a major recruitment tool.

  The Borg also changed the words in the bible from "birth pags " to "pangs of distress" . This was done because birth pangs come first not after and the Borg of course says Jesus took his throne first then the tribulation. But the bible clearly shows it to be the other way around tribulation the the coming of Jesus.
