Christianity: The most deceptive religion
by opusdei1972 injesus was a jew who apparently thought he was the messiah, however, after dying, his disciples began to propagate the lie that he would return from heaven during his generation.
but, his generation passed away, and it was clear that it was a false prophecy, then a dishonest christian wrote the second letter of peter so as to condemn those who realised that the prophecy was a fiasco.
interestingly, and sadly, this religion survived,....why????

WT Conspiracy Theory - Pinky Ring - DUMB, I know
by cappytan inoh man, i know i'm gonna catch flack for this.. everyone sees masonic conspiracies everywhere.. i am not a conspiracy theorist.
i don't honestly believe the governing body are freemasons.. yet, probably due to cruising this site and seeing all the masonic conspiracy threads, i saw this when looking for a shot of lett's pinky ring to show how he wore one in october, but then took it off in may to ask for money.. .
original is on the left, and on the right, i played with the brightness/contrast to get it to show up a little better.. what does the pattern on his ring look like to you?.

The fact that they are not wearing them anymore on TV tells me they have heard the criticism from this site. Bad boys your not supposed to be on this site. -

Suffering: the result of Adamic sin?
by confused ini am currently having a study with a pioneer couple to try to reactivate me and get me back into the congregation.
they have asked me to really think about the provision of the ransom sacrifice.
in doing so i have gone back to basics and have already hit a few questions i am thinking of raising.

Yeah it's just like the Noahs flood story, everyone gets killed because some angels came down and had sex with woman, somehow the animals were complicit in this so they too had to die? Another point to bring up is since they don't believe in evolution and there are no scriptures stating Satan has the power to create, then God must be the creator of Ebola, all plagues, all viruses etc.
I would love to see them try to answer these questions.

Wonder what the big picture is, are these new big building developments really going to fill a need in the future for some big corporation to buy? -

I bought a book on ancient Egyptian religion called the book of the Dead. When this book came in the mail the wife got upset and said I was letting demons into the house. I should of told her that at our kingdom hall in the library there was a book by Alexander hislop call Two Babylonians, and this guy was writing about ancient Mesopotamian religion, so apparently there are demons in our KH. -

3rd Gen DF'd finally writing
by AFreeBeliever ini've been reading many of the postings on this forum for a couplefew years, finally joined today.
i think reading cappytan, and others like that, compelled me to share, it seems i might have a bit of a different outcome than many i have read, perhaps it will be hopeful/helpful to someone.. i was a born-in, 3rd gen jw, my entire family (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and most all of my childhood friends) were in.
some dropped by the wayside as the years went on, but many stayed in, and if they didn't, they still acted/talked as if they believed it was "the truth" and it was their weaknesses/failings that made them stop attending.

I too was on my way to becoming a true Christian with a much better understanding of what the teachings of Christ were all about. Then I ran across a quote about the god El being a cannaanite God. From that point on I became immersed in ancient religions, archeology of the areas in the Bible, language, etc. I'm no longer a believer in the gods/God of the Bible. Welcome and I hope you'll tell us your Dfing story.

This may mean that they really do want the religion to implode, once social media is used by the average JW it will be a free fall. -

Updated Chronological Timeline of the Great Tribulation -- after the New Light from July Watchtower
by FusionTheism inthe july 15, 2015 study watchtower article entitled "your deliverance is getting near", along with the jw broadcasting video entitled "gerrit losch: fortified by "the prophetic word," and chapter 21 of the god's kingdom rules!
book presented a large amount of new light or clarified understanding of the events of the great tribulation.. here i am presenting it in chronological order -- this is the governing body's updated chronological order of events for the time right before the great tribulation through armageddon:.
the final sealing of the anointed occurs just prior to the outbreak of the tribulation.

I thought they gave up the type anti-type teaching, perhaps 4 years. I guess not, still talking out both sides of thier mouths. -

Really sorry to hear this, hopefully you can wake-up some of your children. Also when you feel up to it maybe you can share some of the things that you believed you may have done wrong or differently so the rest of us have a better chance of saving our families from this disgusting cult.
