  What's The First "Worldly" Thing You Did When You Exited The Cult?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.

  for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.

  i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.

  VI: You lost your virginity to a Concubine, that sounds a little better. It was good enough for men in the Bible, no problem.....

  Made an appointment for the mental health test at the VA (Veteran Administration), and Oh boy I'am so happy that I made that decision. Think about this, Jehovah pick me as a elder and I had major mental issues, a 100% disable granted by the VA.

  Egyptian Kingdom died 4200 years ago following mega drought.

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when was that flood?.

  what i don't understand is this, people who make these kinds of discovers still believe in the bible(flood).

  apparently egypt was destroyed in the flood and they forgot to mention it or folks were having a lot of babies and rebuiiled egypt in record time.

  Yes the Bible truth do not add up with actual truths. The question we must ask ourselves, Egypt Kingdom fell apart 4200 years ago and the flood 4200-5000 years ago the exact time of the flood allow 500 years give or take. Can a empire the size of Egypt develop in 500 years and the same with China???? I'am sure JW's will focus on that.

  WT 1/2017: "Why is the Bible sometimes misunderstood?"

  by Schnufti in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible is designed to be understood by those who are humble and willing to learn.

  jesus said to his father: “i publicly praise you, father, lord of heaven and earth, because you have carefully hidden these things from wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to young children.” (luke 10:21) the bible is written in such a way that only those with the right attitude would understand its message.

  people with a proud attitude—a common trait of “wise and intellectual ones”—tend to misunderstand the bible.

  OK you know where I'm going with this. When was that flood?

  What I don't understand is this, people who make these kinds of discovers still believe in the Bible(flood). Apparently Egypt was destroyed in the flood and they forgot to mention it or folks were having a lot of babies and rebuiiled Egypt in record time. Maybe a lot of miracle babies, like Jesus.

  The Vietnam War and “Higher Education”

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a few weeks ago, i was chatting with a brother who is well into his 80’s.

  he went to college, got his bachelor’s degree and was a school teacher for many years.

  during that time, he was an elder in his congregation, had many privileges and cared for his young family.

  Proverbs 14;15 "A fool will believe any thing, smart people watch their step". I think I will show this to the next JW that knock on my door and see what they think.

  The turbulent 60's most of the brothers that became JW were college educated or had some college experience. That is what impressed me about the religion, but most of those men left years ago. This was the case in my area.My sister started witnesses to me while I was in Viet Nam and began a study with my wife, so my wife was on her way to become a JW when I returned. I went to college after getting out of the Army and do not recall any heat from the Elders, maybe because I was new.

  Do the Governing Body members worship themselves ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  its kind of interesting that most religious leaders develop and established their own power on their on volition then calculating set out to lure in others to succumb and abide to that established power .

  back in 1919 the then president of the watchtower publishing house j rutherford proclaimed that god had chosen him and the publishing house in which he was the chief editor of.. his devised and calculated doctrines were to be upheld by all without question or critical evaluation, same is true to the gb members to date, they are to obeyed and the ones who do join this religious organization are commanded to make a vow of allegiance to those men during baptism proceedings.

  those who do not abide to these men's rules are kicked out the organization and punished for their disobedience and lack of subjective loyalty.
