  All 'theories' need to be thought about an analysed in every possible minute detail. It should never be a crime to be engaged in such analysis, thought or discussion however looney it may appear to others. Ridiculing others for their thoughts also only serves to highlight the ignorance of those that ridicule.

  Einstein's General Theory of Relativity comes to mind for which he was initially ridiculed for.

  Here's 10 more 'crazy theories' about the universe that were proved true.

  Round earth.

  Perturbation theory and the existence of Neptune.

  Comets being a celestial phenomenon.

  The expanding universe.

  Atoms.

  Quarks.

  Tycho Brahe and the "stella nova".

  Black holes.

  Heliocentric solar system.

  The Big Bang.

  A happy compromise.. not too long, not too short, not too tight or lose.. flap front for easy access.. hard wearing, and looks great with a beard.

  No more feeling trapped in a permanent state of guilt and unworthyness. No more constantly being told how to live every inch of my life by people that have not even graduated from kindergarden.

  Most Ridiculous Thing You've Ever Been Counseled On

  by MrFreeze in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.

  i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.

  i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.

  I was told not to cross the road anywhere near the kingdom hall, because if I got hot by a truck and splattered all over the road, it would reflect badly on the organisation.

  Top evolution researchers agree: There is A Creator! The Watchtower is Right!

  okay, it's just one scientist: http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/g201404/frederic-dumoulin-interview/.

  but he's a very eminent one!.

  for more than a decade, frederic dumoulin has worked in the field of pharmaceutical research ... studied the effects of medications and toxins on living creatures ... such design simply could not have evolved.

  The watchtower is right?
  
  The organisation has I believe around 8 million baptised members assuming they all belive in God that is.
  
  As of 2005, approximately 88 percent of the world's population were said to " believe in God " (Cambridge University) That's 6,282,320,000 people that already believe this with no help from the watchtower. That's six and a quarter billion people. The vast majority of all humans on planet earth!.
  
  I'm afraid the watchtower though they may like you to believe otherwise does not have a monopoly on faith.
  
  They did not invent God.

  Should I meet with the elders?

  by winnie12 in

  2. experiences

  so i posted my story somewhere on this board but long story short i have been expressing my doubts to my mom who is a jw.

  i have been fading since december 2013 and went to a sunday meeting for the first time maybe two weeks ago.

  i went only because i wanted to use the library that my hall has which had books published by the society from the early 1900's.

  I'm not so sure it's a trap. I did the same thing with the 2 main elders in the congregation. I showed them all the old and not so old literature with the fallacies that were taught as truth at the time and they had no choice to admit it was all true.
  
  They had no answers at all for any of it. They were checkmated. All they could say was to contact the society and see what they had to say about it. The society too had nothing to say. That's when I walked and quit. Nothing ever came of it.
  
  I don't know why people feel a need to run, hide and flee or feel they have done something wrong when discovering that the society lies and has been lying to us our entire time in 'the truth'. Why feel afraid or guilty at this realisation and discovery? You have committed no crime. It's not our fault... it's not us who taught and printed this stuff. It's the sole fault and responsibility of their own leaders.
  
  Nothing can be pinned on you for their own errors. Stand up and be honest. Stand up for the real truth.
