  How MEAN is God?

  in our pre witless days we didn't go to church at all.

  but my mom used her own homespun wisdom to comfort us.

  one time my pet rabbit died.

  especiallly considering all the great people that will never get a chance to recieve "a witness" that will, again according to them, be eternally destroyed at armageddon.

  and i refuse to believe that hearing " do you want the latest wt and awake mags?

  The last two points you made Sangdigger are correct, but the first point where one never gets contacted has been explained by the witnesses as " community responsibility". I.E. China, They said that logically not everyone will be able to get a witness with such a large population and a government that does not allow them to preach freely, so than god will "read their hearts" and base his decision on that.

  I mean what a load of crock that is. 1. Why ever get these people to preach in the first place if it boils down to that anyway. 2. This is the value they put on life, what a joke. I thought Jesus died for ALL humankind.

  If Jw's are the only ones to survive armageddon, than wouldn't you agree that witness that were born into the "truth" caught the break of a lifetime - Thus my question is, how can one say that this is true justice?

  		Apr 10, 2003
  	But according to them, they have the truth, so in theory to be born into witness family doesn't really do much for god's justice. Especiallly considering all the great people that will never get a chance to recieve "a witness" that will, again according to them, be eternally destroyed at armageddon. And I refuse to believe that hearing " Do you want the latest wt and awake mags?" is good enough for god to say " okay they recieved their witness, if they don't change i must destroy them" Thus my point being if it is the truth like they say it is than those born into it have a 100000000000000 better chance of everlasing life than anyone else on the planet does. Thus God is not a just god at all. Thus jw's cannot have the truth.

  I have a feeling that they as individuals are afraid to leave as any of us were. The immediate consequences are great, especially for them.

  I think it has alot to do with adapting to my new life. So far I am happy with what I now know, and certainly alot less pressure in my life. But right now I am adapting to a different type of pressure and like most things time will help alot.

  What ELSE is wrong with the WT Society and JWs?

  by fjtoth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  teaching that true christianity is an organization instead of a way of life

  centralizing authority in an organization instead of letting christ be the head of each christian

  claiming salvation is dependent upon belonging to the jw denomination

  The attitude that one can NEVER do enough. It is so deflating when one goes to FIVE meetings every week every month for years, goes out in field service which is a very unnatural thing to do anywhere from 5 to 90 hrs month, give up a very promising carreer in order to do more for the religion, give many many talks in front of 100 people countless times and the list goes on and on and on and on. Then you go to meeting or assembly and all they do is kick you in the teeth and tell you to do MORE!!! I mean come on, if they were coaches for a sports team their whole team would have quit on them a long time ago. And that's exactly what many have done!
