  What made you turn atheist or agnostic?

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you were a jw and are now an atheist or agnostic, what was the tipping point that made you turn to it?.

  the reason i ask is i have noticed that many who leave the jw's seem to turn to atheism, versus still having some form of a faith.

  have many of you given up on god first or have you had atheistic views first and then found atheism to be true.

  68 years of living in this world and not seeing any "real" evidence that a god really exists outside of our own imagination.

  Does Jehovah Intervene - JW Teaching

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been a jw my whole life and i have never been able to get a clear answer on this question.

  jw's do not believe that jehovah will intervene if someone is sick, dying or stopping a car crash.

  they feel that jehovah is letting "this world" play out before he solves all of these problems.

  Is zeal beginning to vanish?

  by Caupon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has to be starting to fade somehow.

  the very last time i went out in field service, hardly any were out.

  maybe just about nine people were out and man if you could just see their faces.

  There may be a unanimous unwillingness to 'talk' about it but--there ain't much zeal or enthusiasm about door knocking any more. The emphasis is on building not preaching.

  Beards galore at the Assembly

  by Truthexplorer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok, at our recent assembly, i noticed that there were quite a lot of brothers wearing beards.

  not just the older dudes, but right across a range of ages, young men, middle aged men and older men.

  is watchtower beginning to relax this rule at last?

  2 of my sons (born ins) have beards and attend fairly regularly. I've asked them if anyone ever hassles them about their beard and so far, no problem. I believe that it's their way of saying, "I don't want to be 'used'---thank you very much". I had a nice goatee for a while after I 'stepped down' and no one really said much, at least to my face.

  Video: 607 & 1914 Why These Dates Matter to Jehovah's Witnesses

  Great video Lloyd,

  I'm a fan. I'm wondering why you did not also mention the 'math-magic' that the borg uses to also arrive at 1914. The number 2,520 is derived from multiplying 7 X 360=2,520. It's always bother me that the borg used the JEWISH calendar year of 360 days to "prove" a date found in the Gregorian calendar year of 1914 which is based on 365 1/4 days per year. Was there ever a reasonable explanation given as to the 5 1/4 days per year disappeared? Magic?

  No one ever got df'ed for gluttony, ever. Who cares if it's in the bible? Now smoke an occasional Cuban and you're df'ed even thought that's NOT in the bible.

  LOL! Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of 'super legalese' f**kers. They play so coy with the ARC on child molestation but try like hell to get others to 'pay up' for their f**k up. They had to know what sort of business occupied the property prior to buying it. Didn't jehober guide them?

  I hope they finish the project and then can't get occupancy permits. I also hope that none of the friends get ill effects from the contamination.

  a test for those of you who respond on the topic 4days ago "how did you feel when you woke up".. it can be overwhelming.

  maybe someone can post the the test www.adaa.org/screening-posttr.. under the topic, screening for posttraumatic stress disorder (ptsd), you will find it..

  When one spends and entire lifetime (in my case 58 years) supporting, defending, believing, trusting, and even loving something or someone only to one day discover that it was all a fantasy, yea your life takes a huge downward hit. It put me in the hospital for a few weeks and has taken several years to fully recover. BUT it was all worth while. Life beyond the cult is fantastic.

  Can't Understand Why This Is Allowed

  by mariet in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i moved to roseburg, oregon.

  the jehovah's witnesses are allowed to set up a display and man it right outside of the local library, and they are there every day and hour the library is open.

  i am [redacted], the director of the douglas county library system and wanted to respond to your website email of december 11, 2015. i have consulted with the county attorneys office about your concern about jehovahs witnesses use of the front porch of the library building in roseburg, and my understanding of the law is as follows.. .

  I like the idea of "the cart" and "the anti cart" witnessing scenario! Another 'good' vs. 'evil' situation that will unravel only to reveal TRUTH!
