  dear friends:.

  i imagine by now we old timers have adjusted to the fact that we are getting older and, one day, will make our exit.

  are your "senior moments" ever a cause for worry to you?

  The slow trickle has become a steady stream!

  in the last few weeks it seems that instead of one or two new posters a week we seem to be getting several every day.

  many seem to be long time jw's who are troubled by the path of the organisation.

  this is really encouraging to those of us who have been here sometime.. welcome!

  I'm confused, in the 60's and 70's the great crowd. We filled the KH, we couldn't build

  enough KH, a sign of the end. Now the numbers are dropping and this is a sign of the end.

  I thought the separation work (weeds) were people coming out of false religion, not those in

  Jehovahs organization. I did a little drugs when I was young(before JW world), and nothing

  compare to the mind trip that this organization send you on.

  The Bread Illustration (Feb 16 Broadcast) - Massive Contradiction

  by fizzle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so... bro flodin puts poison onto the first loaf of bread and says that this pictures someone "sinning against the holy spirit".

  he then puts the bread into the trash can stating that jehovah completely discards anyone "sinning against the holy spirit"... meaning they cannot ever be forgiven...he says that the pharisees "sinned against the holy spirit" because they denied indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit displayed by jesus... therefore jehovah would completely discard them... no way back for them.. fast forward a little... we have the bible character stephen...acts 6:8 says: now stephen, full of divine favor and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.so stephen was showing indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit.now we come to the bible character paul (saul)... he was a pharisee.paul would have seen stephen in action... witnessing the indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit first hand!yet paul not only waged war against all christians but he personally approved the killing (stoning) of stephen.according to the bread illustration paul should have been discarded by jehovah at this point for "sinning against the holy spirit"... he would have been put in the trash can... no way back at all...but what happened according to the bible?

  jesus appeared to him on the road to damascus... he became one of the most zealous apostles in bible history with jehovah's full support!so what on earth is the bread illustration all about?

  So who today blaspheme the Holy spirit.

  We have the Jews who do not accept Jesus as the Messiah.

  Hindus say the teenage Jesus traveled across southeast Asia, learning yogic traditions

  and returning home to be a guru to the Jews.

  Muslims: Jesus was not crucified but instead, he was raised up by God into the heavens.

  In other words it seems every one besides JW's are speaking "against the Holy spirit".

  How many Holy spirits are out there, and which one do you listen too?

  Why Christians cannot be possessed.

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  demons cannot occupy the same place as the holy spirit, satan knows this, and that is why.

  he tries so hard to get to people first and his demons or demonic influence control or affect.

  that person.. i cannot believe this in still being taught today.

  Has a 'Christian' ever murdered somebody?

  by goddidit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a jw made the claim "no christian [jw] has ever murdered anyone".. when i showed examples of such, the goalposts moved a bit with "was he a baptized, dedicated witness?".

  can anyone provide examples of murders committed by "baptized, dedicated" jws?.

  thanks.

  Deuteronomy 17 .. The Bible commands Christians to kill nonbelievers.

  We must remember all those people in the OT were JW, according to JW's today.

  So I guess nonbelievers are no body.

  Quality of newer membership

  by Lostandfound in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  on a previous post mamacita29 pointed up the low quality of new jw converts.. is the quality falling even more as the society use lower than low meeting, talks, broadcasts etc.. when i was active initially the organisation and standards seemed totally different today.

  i have seen hard working intelligent elders fall by death or exhaustion.

  the younger generation that came along never really grasped responsibility hence shortage of good elders, never mind the watered down to almost nothing quality of meetings.

  That's what I realized the mind set. Even though I had walked a way I still had the

  JW mind set. I defended the shunning policy for years, it was a act of love I told

  people. I was one who believe it was the best religion out there, but not for me.

  OH boy , when I saw the light I became the true Apostate, ISIS in reverse.

  Who did you believe the scriptures were describing when you were a JW?

  by James Mixon in

  it never hit me until i was out.

  matt:23;4 "they tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them.

  on other people shoulders".

  cumbersome Loads=alcoholism,over the counter drugs, stress,anxiety and

  other fun stuff. I don't think this is what Jesus had in mind.

  But if you want to become a JW, you will have a great time.
