boyfriend ex jehovah witness please help

by whatisthis12 in

so i posted yesterday.

my boyfriend and i have been living together for a year, and he went to the memorial tonight (sorry if that’s not what it’s called).

i told him i was upset he didn’t invite me but wasn’t going to tell him not to go because he hasn’t talked to his family for over a year.

Crazyguy

He doesn’t pay rent and now is wanting to get back with his family all part of a cult. He also is telling you to stay home so he can go be with them and he doesn’t have to bring you up. Ok so here’s the reality of the situation he’s a cult member. Even though he may have left he’s still a brainwashed believer.

You need to ask yourself if you still want to be with him because he’s probably going to go back and kick you to the kurb so he doesn’t get into anymore trouble. If he does stay with you and you don’t become a JW he and all his friends will treat you like a second class citizen. Do you want that.

Cults are evil and JW are one of the worst!

I got back from the memorial . . .

by neat blue dog in

it was pretty mundane for the most part, same songs, same outline.

the only new thing they added was the video at the end, where stephen lett speaks to the visitors and commends them for coming and recommends they go to jwdotorg and also start a bible study.

they also showed a bar graph with figures increasing every year for jws, memorial attendance and memorial partakers.

Crazyguy

Fuck Lett, for years they said that less partakers ment we were getting closer and closer to the end.

The implement of Christ’s death

by lastmanstanding in

simple physics.. the timber that was used to execute jesus had to be substantial.

thus, its weight could not have been carried entirely, but rather it had to be dragged.. get a log with no crosspiece, one substantial enough to nail a man to, and try to drag it through town.

try to get a hold of it without it sliding out of your grip.

Crazyguy

Many think he only carried the cross beam and then got help too.

Funny things to not do at the Memorial

by rebel8 in

jw
friends

pull out a can of cheese whiz, top the bread with it, and take a nibble.. .

say really loud...."oh, wow!

jesus' body is really tasty this year!".

Crazyguy

How about pulling out a big fat Easter egg a chocolate one and eat on it the whole time their blabbing about not eating the bread or wine.

Proper understanding of the Mediator & New Covenant

by Crazyguy in

mediator and the new covenant.

the society has taught that only the 144,000 are to par-take of the emblems and jesus only mediates and died for them.

"he is the mediator between his heavenly father, jehovah god, and the nation of spiritual israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members.

Crazyguy

Bumping this thread so to explain why all Christians should be partaking at today’s memorial.

The Memorial, The Messiah, and Why it's all Bogus

by truth_b_known in

if it were not for the fact that my sister posted this year's memorial invitation on her facebook page yesterday i would have no idea it was today (note: i live a quarter mile from the local kingdom hall.

still no invite).

i faded well over a decade ago, but was not mentally out until i attended my last memorial in 2010. attending the memorial actually helped me leave.. yesterday i started analyzing the event that jehovah's witnesses tout as the most important day of the year.

Crazyguy

John says that Jesus said that if one wants eternal life you must eat my flesh and drink my blood. According to john Jesus never said there would be a provision for those that don’t dont do this to have eternal life.

But the other problem is that john is contradicting himself for he writes in both chapters 3 and 6 that Jesus said all one has to do is believe in him and have eternal life. You don’t have to eat his flesh drink his blood go out in service give money to a bunch of freaks in New York, none of it!

The JWs explanation it reminds me of their explanation about where the great crowd is and comparing it to what’s said at Revelations chapter 7. Chapter 7 clearly states the great crowd is in heaven and the 144,000 are still on earth waiting to be sealed. The JWs have to jump through hoops and lie about the meaning of a Greek word to make thier point.

Will Watchtower target the inactive?

by ToesUp in

jw
friends

if watchtower has no reason to df ones.

they have just become inactive.

do you all think wt will begin a witch hunt (df'ing) for these inactive ones?

Crazyguy

What their doing very effectively is telling their slaves not to associate with inactive ones and to treat them as if they are sinning aginst god somehow. Mind control cults all do this and shun former cult members.

Memorial

by whatisthis12 in

so i’ve been dating my boyfriend for over a year.

he left the jehovah witness community and we have been living together for one year.

he hasn’t kept in contact with his family because he was disfellowshipped and hasn’t gone to any meetings.

Crazyguy

I think you should ask him straight up what he believes and if he believes the teachings of his religion? Let him explain the come back here for advice on how to respond.

What is your faith if any and what would you like to happen with you guys? There’s a lot of different ways one can approach the issues depending on what you want and believe.

So a religion based on a book by another religion?

by TTWSYF in

so does anyone else find it odd that jws base their whole faith on the bible?.

the bible was never in the plan for christianity.

the apostles spread the good news as they were instructed to by christ jesus .

Crazyguy

The religion of Christians was part mystery school of Serapis part gnostic and possible part Jewish Greek made up Torah. I think it was Pliny that wrote to his Caesar about what todo with this wierd group he had encountered while governor of a part of Turkey. He had held higher positions throughout the empire even in Rome yet never heard of a Christian before. The Bible only became a thing in response to writings by Marcion. Then when Constantine embraced the religion the writings of the Bible really started to be put together and formulated.

What most people don’t know is that the cannon was changed and changed and changed again many times for many more centuries. Then the Protestant reformation happened and it was dramatically changed again.

Also what most people don’t realize is the oldest bible writings in many places its unreadable. Of the four major codexes scriptures like 1or 2 Timothy 3:16 where we see it say that the Bible is inspired , it’s unintelligible. All over the New Testament the name for Jesus in Greek many times is just one letter like a I or a O.

Bart Erhman wrote that many of the scribes would make notes about what they thought the text may of ment or said and then later these notes became part of the actual bible.
