A world without religion? Any different?

by punkofnice in

i wonder what it would be like, without any religion in the world?

i don't think it would be like 'imagine' by lennon.. i don't believe it will ever happen.

even if it did, people are the same.

Proof God Does NOT Exist

by Hadriel in

o.k.

here's just a little fun, you guys can run with it.. if god existed would he allow the whacktower to be in business?

just sayin... lol.

I think a better statement or question would be if gods exsists why would he allow chaos like what we see in the universe. Black holes swallowing up every thing that gets near them. Galaxy's colliding with other galaxy's. Stars blowing up etc.

Under WT rules, can JW women file for a divorce? Or can only men file?

by JimmyPage in

jw
friends

the reason i ask is because while watching the "dateline" episode about ralph candelario, the claim was made that only jw men could file for divorce, not women.

.

i had never thought about this before.. also, how does this apply in cases where a husband is "apostate" while the wife is faithful to wt?

Crazyguy

It's what ever the elders want. A friend's wife left him saying he wasn't a spiritual enough leader. During their serperation he started having a friendship with a woman at work. He never touched her in any sexual way but his elders still dfd him saying he wasn't being a proper christian. His wife went off and got remarried no problem.

Are Witnesses really "Bible Students"?

by stuckinarut2 in

we were always told that as witnesses we were "sincere bible students".... carefully examining the scriptures.. yes, we were indeed taught much about the content of the bible, it's history, prophecies etc..... but it was always from one perspective....that of the society.

when the society changed its interpretations, we had to do the same..... so were we really "bible students", or "society students"?.

just a thought.....

Crazyguy

Nope when my wife was scared of me because of my waking up she diligently studied the WT and watched all the broadcasts etc but never did I ever see her read her bible.

Evolution: The Deal Breaker

by Hadriel in

first off i do believe there are some evidences of evolution or i should probably say adaptation.

i do believe this exists in various forms.. however the deal breaker for me with evolution is the chick or egg problem.

there are tons of theories that get passed around as proof of evolution however these are usually examples much further down the evolutionary chain.. what i mean is let's start at the beginning!

Crazyguy

I think it's possible that something could of created life but the overwhelming evidence is that if true all life today on earth evolved from that simple creation.

My JW Articles

by Salutaris in

hey there, .

i have an apologetics website, and i've recently posted three articles on jw doctrine.

i was wondering if you all could make suggestions to improve them, or for new content.

Crazyguy

I think the best thing you can hope for is that your site leads Catholics away from joining the JW's.

Dear Jehova's Witnesses I have a question about your views in evolution.

by Deimos_Sec in

i have been wondering why your organization cannot accept evolution?

(when i say "cannot accept" i mean: you see it as anti christian) the reason i'm so curious about this is because by putting this here i hope to get smarter answers than i usually get, and also because you don't seem to put things like quantum theory, string theory, under the "evil scary scientific stuff label", also many religions have accepted evolution as most likely possible, or as something that is ok to believe since god could have used evolution to create mankind, in fact evolution isn't a "religion" and automatically doesn't get you labeled as an atheist, unless you are talking to the wrong person.

i am by no means trying to make you believe in evolution, i will respect you views, i believe every man has free will, well it kind of says it in the bible.

Crazyguy

The fundamentalist reasoning of The Jehovah's witnesses are based on ignorance. You might as well be asking questions to a rock.

Overlapping gen teaching- Help?

by raven in

hi friends,.

can someone please help explain to me the overlapping generations teaching?

i have not been able to grasp this one or what it even applies to?

Crazyguy

First you have to realize where this lie started. Russel wrote in his book Time at hand that the end and Armageddon would take place in 1914. When that didn't happen the new leader Rutherford said that the end did come Jesus came invisibley and the gentile times were over. As time has passed they change the meaning of things and change things around to hide the fact that everything they said was wrong.

They could not admit that when he Rutherford said in 1917 that this generation would not pass away was wrong so they had to again change it by saying new light and the generation is an overlapping thing. There is no place in the bible that supports this idea. The bible makes it clear in several places that a generation is roughly 40 years. Mathew chapter 1 lists generations etc.

The whole doctrine by design is to continue to mislead the ignorant jws.

Going to meetings to "save face."

by Darkknight757 in

going to make this short and sweet but i need some advise again and i kinda need to vent a bit so sorry.😢.

so it has been weeks since the wife and i have been to meetings.

it has been nothing short of wonderful!!!

Crazyguy

I too am thinking about going back. When your out they make it as though you don't matter and may need to go back and when ready start teaching my kids ttatt slowly. Every time I think about doing this I get a headache. I feel your pain but maybe that's what you have to do with your wife go back then study with her showing her all the problems and hypocrisy of it , all over time.

Just wondering who on this board has a spouse that is fully in and your awake?

by goingthruthemotions in

i am just curious who on this board is in the same situation has i am?

a spouse that is fully brain doogled in and you are awake to ttatt.. without going into serious detail and no names are given.

i would like to possible talk with one of you all, it's just so helpful to communicate with someone in the same situation as me.. i am located in the southwest united states..

Crazyguy

Same situation even thinking about going back because I have found that they leave the non going mate out of everything. My kids may need me to step in and protect them from the fools at the meetings. It really sucks when you can't wake up your mate. Its a social thing as much as a religion thing. So I maybe one of those awake mates going to some meetings just to be thier for my kids.
