  i thought i knew you.

  an open letter from barbara anderson to watch towers writing department.

  in 1517, martin luther wrote in a letter to archbishop albert of mainz: you must graciously forgive that i, that scum of the earth, am so bold as to dare to address a letter to you.. yes, i know, you think of me as scum, just like mainz believed of luther, wondering how i dare write you a letter, someone jehovahs witnesses disfellowshipped back in 2002. i was accused of being an unrepentant sinner and condemned for causing divisions, then labeled apostate because i spoke out publicly on nbcs dateline tv program aboutthe child sexual abuse policies that protected pedophiles policies that you helped formulate.

  Give Some Logical Points To Prove That JWs Do Not Have The Truth

  by minimus in

  the one thing that got to me was that this religion is illogical.

  their "logic" is ridiculous, especially when it comes to their blood doctrine.

  downright weird!.

  • If God is so powerful and really truly did not desire any to be destroyed - HE WOULD MAKE IT OBVIOUS - he would not need to send JWs door-to-door
  • God would not use an organization that protects pedophiles
  • 1914 - lunar this, solar that, 360 days, 365 days, weeks of years, Ezekiel/ Daniel, Revelation - why complicate it. BECAUSE IT IS FALSE
  • The vast majority of the GB have been Anglo-saxons/American/German - then they have the nerve to ponit out the vast majority of popes have been Italian
  • In will think of more

  Why did you become one of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by Celestial in

  any other reason than the arbitrary explanation that you were brainwashed or seduced by a millenarianist doomsday cult?.

  1. Reagan/Thatcher were in power - I honestly thought the world was coming to an end and I did not want to die
  2. I did not believe in the stupid Trinity doctrine and what the JWs said made sense - no other religion came close on this issue
  3. Hell Fire made ZERO sense - what JWs said, seem to make sense.
  4. Because of this I swallowed the 1914 bullshit - totally
  5. Preaching the good news seemed to make sense.
  6. AIDS/Blood/Homosexuality and blood transfusions seemed to make sense

  looking back, did you find yourself always worried about what was going to happen to you if you made a mistake or you even exercised your own "bible trained conscience"?.

  What's The Worst Thing You've Heard An Elder Say Or Do?

  by minimus in

  i think it has to be the way they treat disfellowshipped persons.

  as another thread, they simply ignore the person as if they're dead!.

  No - the exact opposite. Becoming a witness gave me a sort of sense of security. Crazy I know.

  i was having coffee at a starbucks located in a supermarket chain in one of the towns i work in my business .

  while sitting there doing paperwork , what looked like 3 elders on their field service break sat at a table no more than 4 feet from me .

  after eavesdropping it was obvious they were elders as they were talking about the c.o.

  I do consider myself slightly religious. I still go to a few meetings.

  I do believe in "God" -

  I think I am a spiritual person to some degree as defined by me and most people.

  The WTBTS WOULD NOT think I am a spiritual person as I am cmmunicating on this board with all you " spiritually diseased -nasty apostate" people.
