  Matthew 7 and Jehovah's Witnesses!

  by TimothyT in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am writing another letter to a jw friend who still feels that she can convince me to come back to the organisation.

  in the letter i realised that i was quoting a lot from matthew 7, and i decided it may be beneficial to just make some notes about some of the verses in the chapter with regards to the organisation and how it compares.

  enjoy reading them:.

  The Truman Show revisited

  i've just been listening to philip glass.... .

  which reminds me of the truman show, the film that many of us here have taken as a metaphor for realising that the jehovah's witness world is not real.. but now i can't help wondering what happened to truman when he left his fake world and entered the real world.

  A Course in Miracles

  by semelcred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've just started reading a course in miracles and wondered if any one here has any thoughts or any contact with this book?

  as an ex-jw i find it hard to accept reading any other religious publication but i find the idea of the ego's attempt at separation as the real issue against the idea of original sin a fascinating concept.

  also the book was channeled!

  just saw this pop up at the fuentes' forum extjforum.com.

  http://www.extjforo.com/foro/showthread.php?t=15473 .

  it's a scan (you can thank iloowy for the scan) of the march 15, 2010 watchtower where there's a picture of a radiant sun of a wt logo along with a tm mark right next to a paragraph that says 'they "will shine as brightly as the sun"' (matthew 13:43).. .

  Contribution of Franz books on your decision to leave?

  by Damocles in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the recent resurrected topic on franz' books got me curious.. how much did his writing contribute to your decision to leave?.

  for myself, it was another brick in the wall but not more important than any other.

  i was a little different than most in that i regularly read anti-witness stuff from the very beginning and never stopped.

  District Convention's - Control Freaks

  by xelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since for many years i served at many levels of convention administration for 5000-6000 attendance (small conventions), i think back and shake my head at the control freak policies.

  do any of you remember?

  when i used to attend 8 day conventions, (3 sessions a day 9:00-12:00 1:30-4:30 6:00-9:00) departments were huge to organize.
