  the bible making sense

  by jurs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  before i had started studying with the jw's i had tried to read the bible.

  it didn't make sense to me.

  (in all honesty, i didn't try real hard nor did i put forth alot of time into my readings).

  Not the study article, but.......

  by ozziepost in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a long-held teaching of the wts is that god allowed time after the fall of adam and eve to demonstrate to all creation the rightness of his rule.

  this is again repeated in a current issue of the watchtower:

  why did god not immediately destroy the first human couple along with satan, the invisible instigator of their rebellion?

  Judas Iscariot

  by nativenyr23 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  was watching a deal on tv last night (discovery channel, history channel, can't remember)....and it reminded me of something i've always thought about.. was judas really a bad guy?

  should he be condemned for doing something that had to be done?

  i mean, after all, had he not "betrayed his master".....then jesus wouldn't have died, right?

  were you forced to give up your fleshly family

  by nightwarrior in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  .

  please take note.. when i first started studying with jehovahs witnesses ,over a period they lead you to beleive that your family are serving satan ,therfore hidden pressure is put upon you to ditch your family ,if your weak you will do as you are told but as allways they make you think your doing it for god,its so they can start to control you slowly ,your familys gone your old friends are gone you have nothing else be warned then comes the reliance upon every single word the elders say to you hypnotismn comes allso through the literature ,.

  i kept my family at a distance i never allowed man to dictate ,pluss i had no opposition from my family in times of need i was there to support my greater family and now i still have them if needed why make yourself miserable.. thank god i never bowed to the presure of relinquishing my family ties

  everone is in confusion

  by zolensky in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i joined this site last week hoping to meet people that would steer me back to the organization.

  instead the people i have talked to her are all trying to tell me too see the light and get out of the organization.

  in my opinion, not that it matters, i really think that if a person had the truth deeply ingrained in them, they would never leave the truth.
