  "Keep testing if you are in the faith" Just like a Doctors visit??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a thought came to mind.. often when we awaken to the "truth about the truth", jws will ask "what made you start questioning things?

  they act as if we are doing something wrong by questioning facts.. but, the scripture at 2 cor 13:5 clearly says "keep testing whether you are in the faith, keep proving what you are".

  so, this implies regular checks of our faith, and all we believe to be true.

  If you don't keep testing you become a brainwashed drone.

  It is like going to the Doctors for a regular check up. We may not feel sick, but we go regularly to ensure all is ok with our health. In the course of that check-up, we may be made aware of something. Do we just ignore it and say to ourselves "well I felt fine last time, and I dont need to give attention to this issue!"

  Well said Brother, you receive a G for illustration and can now move on to your next point of council.

  JW Good News is merely B.S. Bad News demonstrably wrong (Here is the proof)

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  scare tactics generating fear of the end is the core message of jehovah's witnesses.predictions based on so-called bible prophecy is their mother's milk.

  "critical times hard to deal with" flavors every book, article,pamphlet and conversation spoken by dub on the doorstep.indeed, all we hear anywhere seems to be bad news.

  are jw's right?can this be put to the test?

  NWT 1984 vs NWT 2013

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i recently had a discussion with a jw concerning a change in wording of a scripture - in fact this was my all time favourite scripture, namely, micah 6:8.. my view is that the wtbts have deliberately changed the wording and meaning of the said scripture.

  the other person is of the opinion that that is not the case.

  micah 6:8.

  Phizzy

  This is simply an example if the JW Org using its Mind Control technique.

  The average JW drone will think subconsciously of loyalty to the Org.

  I agree wholeheartedly with this comment, totally brainwashed

  So I'm asking what is your view? Am I right, or is the other person right?

  Yes you are right Tallon, but you know talking to a brick wall and a jws is the same thing.

  Thank you pale.emperor,

  I have downloaded your apostate interview haven't yet listened to it but I will for sure.

  
  I personal believe JWs are so heavily brainwashed no one will leave until they themselves are ready.

  You just can't fix stupid.

  Thank you Tantalon

  Just wanted to say ; about one of your comments about learning to hug and say "I love you", I too learned this from "worldly" people.

  This was one of the biggest eye-openers that I learnt from "worldly" people.

  Pretty sad when we were raised in the most loving group of Christians in the world!

  Sad indeed

  i am in conversation with a uk historian regarding some knights templar locations, where jws have built buildings.

  *** this is serious research - not a joke *** .

  i am not - and do not wish to be - a conspiracy theorist, but something has come to light in the uk and i lack the knowledge of knights templar + masons.

  i left the wts in the early 1990's and i was baptised at the same assembly as this elder and his wife in the late 1980's they were probably in their early 50's back then, you know the kind; get called on, become a study and take to life as a jw like a duck takes to water, a dream call for all jw's and we went onto to be good friends with them over the years, the book study was held in their house also, he quietly progressed up the jw ladder became an ms then elder, a few months after i started my fade i saw him one day while i waited for a bus and he acknowledged me i said hi etc and he started a verbal tirade towards me about me knowing its the truth, how close we are living to the end, how stupid i was turning my back on it etc blah blah blah, i couldn't really get a word in edge ways, i bid him good day and that was that, he really was quite angry, i never saw him again until recently over 25 years later when him and his wife and their son were having a meal in my local pub, he was standing at the bar ordering, i saw him acknowledged him said hi and he looked straight through me, he said "do i know you ?

  " i replied " hey eddie its jookbeard from the ********** congregation, surely you remember me?

  " he said sorry i've never seen you before in my life, his wife came over to help him with his drinks and i said "hey pat, how are you?
