How Come Brooklyn Never Saw This One Coming?

by Englishman in

books and magazines all full of dire warnings..stay away from the world..don't have sex outside of marriage..armageddon is just around the corner..avoid worldly associations..look out for this, look out for that.

the list goes on and on and on.. yet the wtbts predictors of doom and gloom department never, ever, in their worst nightmares, ever saw what it was that would prove to be their nemesis.. that ex-witnesses, the majority of them disfellowshipped and, therefore, supposedly gagged and without a voice, would find a way to communicate with one another via the internet.. i wonder if the fact that they brought this upon themselves is clear to them?

the irony is astonishing.

They reap what they sow .

and it is not over.

Watchtower's Armegeddon Frenzy--Again

by ARoarer in

jw

with all this going on over in iraq, and the watchtower society's fear of death tactics on the rank and file members, it reminds me of how much the watchtower publishing corporation leadership is using the same fear tactics of death to all who are not subserviant and loyal to it's fear inspiring religious regime.

while threatening the world with "mass distruction" by thier watchtower false god, and twisting christian doctrine to further their fear, and blame messages, and death to all others, they have the same perpetrating m.o.

as saddam, bin laden, and all other dictatorial figures.

WT = dictatorship

The Image Of the Beast

by Rick_A in

this is just a quick study i did on the image of the beast and is not 100% fact as we know nothing is for sure until we actually see it come to pass.

<b>the image of the beast</b>

its interesting that many people have have tried to come up with many ideas of who or what the image of the beast is.

amen

As far i can tell in my research about the book of revelation. Most of the prophecies happened in the first century. Men can speculate a lot about this book now but i would not let fear take over me.

history was made wednesday when a group of archaeologists working in a dig at mabell, israel stumbled across an ancient stash of wooden tablets.

numbering over three hundred in all, the tablets are made of gopher wood onto which hebrew characters were inscribed in ink.

they appear to contain the personal diary of moses.

amen

I knew it was a trick.

They Finally Did It

by kelpie in

my parents have finally disowned me.. my dad called yesturday and told me to get the "dogs of my mothers back" about my upcoming wedding.. i told him that i havent put anyone on mum's back and if they are saying it, its because they want to and don't agree with what he and mum are doing.

i said that mum can speak for herself and he said that she and will and the next time you speak to your mother she will tell you that we dont want to ever speak to or see you again...".

at this point in the conversation i hung up the phone in his ear.

amen

Kelpie,

I am very sad to your situation. To me it shows once again that this religion is dictacting every member moves, the members can not think for themselves or act lovingly to their own family. Well, that is an evidence that the JW's don't have love among themselves and they don't reflect Christ mind.

Well, one advice i can provide is when ever you feel the need or a support of your parents and off course they won't be there, rely on our father who is heaven you will feel his touch.

I wish you well.

amen

Why do you still believe?

by flower in

someone posted on another thread a comment that i found interesting.

something like once you find out the truth about the 'truth' its impossible to stop there and not question everything as far as religion and the existance of god.

i'm sure most of us that were raised in the watchterror org and have found out that we were decieved our whole lives have examined this subject at some point.

amen

When i look at the sky at night, i see a creator behind all these. I am overwhelmed by the beauty and the science behind this creation. We don't know everything about this universe and we don't know everything about the mind of God. But one thing i do feel is the creator wants us to believe in him eventhough we have very little direct information from him. we know in the past when Jesus walked this earth people at the time had some tangible to believe in God. Today it is not easy, the last man was Jesus and it was 2000 years ago and that's a long time.

I believe that we can not trust men in general for an explanation for God existence it is beyond their comprehensions. Therefore believe in God is an personal experience and also feel how God manifests in my life give me proof that he does exist and my faith builds up upon that as well.

I don't see any other explanation for it.

How many of you belong to another religion now, and if so, which?

by berylblue in

i've always wanted so much to know the true god and to do his will, but it seems i struck out at the kh.

my deep spiritual need is not being met, but i don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire, you know?.

beryl.

amen

Let me give you my point of view on religion. Was a catholic then decide that i was no longer a catholic but only cristian, then suck in by the borg now out this week. My feelings over my exit, i am sure of my future, all my life i have been searching and i know you don't need any man made religion to be close to God. All one need is a personal relationship with God and his son Christ. Praying and reading the bible and try to love your neighbord is sufficient. If anyone do that you'll find yourself at peace with yourself, at peace with God and you'll find yourself walking along with God and it is a feeling I had before i became a witnesse and lost when i became a JW. The organisation replace slowly my relationship I had with Christ to have a relationship with them. What a blaspheme? Never will I let that happen anymore.

I may visit a church but not to join. I understand some people like to delegate their spiritual life to man or are lazy or don't have the will to do their own research i will not blame them for that but they have to be cautious. I take charge of my own spirituality now. I know doctines that are nefast and avoid them.

Jesus said to come to him and I am doing just that not an organization. If i am wrong at a day of jugement i can really say according to the book that pretend to be the word of God I tried to follow to the best of my ability and don't feel nothing to be blame of. The best is what i can do with my sinfull nature. But i know God is mercifull and i don't pretend that I am a fervent praying constantly. There are times i do and other times i failed but the thing is always come back to him and he'll receive you, remenber Peter.

So I got out of the Borg intact with my previous believe now know more about the trinity, the soul etc. Wanting i could say if the catholic had show from the bible their believes from the bible i would not have been sucked by the society.

Now my believe is firm more than ever in God. 15 years with the JW did not make me an atheous but I am convinced you don't need any organization or institution or man made.

I try at times to think their is no God but i was unable to and make no sens to me.

Any reply

Amen

Did I turn my back on Jehovah's True Organization?

by sandy in

i was wondering as i have been lately; did i turn my back on god and am i wrong for turning my back on the organization?.

are there any of you out there that feel like you have a real personal relationship with god with or without religion in your life?

do you still call god jehovah?

amen

Before I was a JW i did not believe in any organization, i really had a personnal relationship with God and I new the bible very well but not on doctrines. Well I got suck in into the JW. My time in the organization has not been lost totally i could see some good out of it which are for sure you don't need an organization to have a relationship with God. The JW think by coming into their organization only you will be save which is the opposite of what Jesus said '' Come through me '' not an organization. In fact the JW is blaspheming.

You see I'm about to leave this organization in only a few days and I know for sure the JW does not have the truth and does not have God blessings. They are a successfull company that's all, even that is changing.

I can say that I have a personal relationship with God and his son and i can see the difference of going directly to him not an organization. No organization has the monopoly on God. God is free for anyone who wants him.

Amen
