  Government and the Bible...

  by new hope and happiness in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  government and the bible...its kind of scary that some holding positions in the highest level of government believe the bible to be ' the exact and literal word of god'.

  this is actually a scary thought.it was bad enough the governing body believing they have god on their side, but its also the leaders of my country believing they have god on their side and theres no question in there arrogent minds about that.....

  2. beliefs

  - i am now one individual expressing my own thoughts and point of view.

  i think by doing this i oppose the w.t and have woken up many sleeping witnesses and even inspired them to think for themselfs and listen to that voice of reason inside them.. but now that voice of reason is awoken there is no longer any sleep no more dreaming and slowly have discoverd a new life of lies and illusion .holly shit the whole world , the goverments and the newspapers and advertising is feeding me the same s...t only different lies and a differnt illusion than the watchtowers.

  uggggggggg.

  Indoctrinated Christians...

  by new hope and happiness in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking that most indoctrinated christians i know seem never to ever question their faith.

  no matter how sound the reasoning for another belief.in fact the stronger the argument destroying the christians beliefs the more proof positive the indoctrinated christian becomes of its evil origins.

  satan, alert and the built in defence system against reason or logic takes effect.. the above is just my personal observation .

  My name is Michael.

  by new hope and happiness in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  research has shown that " generally" the best way to challenge someone is to use their first name.

  to me being addressed by my name " michael" and addressing someone by their christian name is more friendly than using a title.

  i think it would also make it easier for elders to accept someones different point of view if they referrd to the brother by therir christian name.

  New Light its an illusion...

  by new hope and happiness in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe the people who discover new light are just having fun?

  they sit there in brooklyn and say too each other " overlapping generation yea thats hilarious".

  well if thats the case i hope people are wakeing up to the joke.. g.b reply " but you have to understand our audience, you see its made up of many people who want to hear our brand of comedy and not think about anything".

  I am free

  by new hope and happiness in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yes the title of my first post was a little negative " shatterd faith" and the truth is i dont feel like that at all.. its wonderful being in a state of not knowing as it makes hope possible.

  and what i now learn i will learn from within and also enjoy doubt.. so why do i call this post " i am free"?

  because i will no longer allow a tiny few control the direction of my life.
