  Making Every Thought Captive To Christ(Washing the Brain Of Good Reasoning)

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  not a very good idea to say the least.

  when i read paul's words the more i see how delusional the guy was.

  he was a genuine religious fanatic who contradicts jesus words on the sermon on the mount.. 2 corinthians 10:5 5we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of god, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to christ.. delusional and in need of some serious psychological help.

  So I ask "If that is really how you feel about God and his word - why are you here at all ?" Is it really just to complain about your lot in life ? Is it to try and destroy the faith of others
  Because I believe that God exists and I love him. I believe the promises that he recorded in the scriptures.

  
  

  Most of the members who write on this post have their loved ones still stuck to the cult. This is a great blog to get updated on what’s going on in that Cult, so that we could rescue our family members at some point. This is true in my case also.

  BTW, You say you believe in Bible Promises. Can you cure the sick, as the Bible promises ? If you could do that, I can become a Christian again.

  The WatchTower conductor lied on stage

  by Isambard Crater in

  on sunday morning in the watchtower study, a "study" who was their for the 1st time put his hand up and said; "i have a question.

  when the paragraph says give up everything, it doesn't really mean give up everything like the pearl merchant, does it, like be willing to lose my modest house, cheap car and other basics i own?

  i mean, that sounds a bit much".. the watchtower conductor said in response; "no, it's just a parable and it doesn't mean give up everything.

  Matthew 19:21

  Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

  Luke 14:26
  

  If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters — yes, even his own life — he cannot be My disciple.

  An elders baptized Daughter in India got married to a non JW. She and her father was dis fellowshipped due to this. Her father was accused of being present in the church premises during that NON-JW wedding.

  This got me infuriated, even when I was an active JW. I wrote an email about this to the concerned elders in the congregation but with no response.

  Beautiful new kingdom song

  has anyone noticed this new song?

  i think it's absolutely beautiful.

  it's got a film score quality about it, with depth and feeling.

  Nice song but has an eerie tune, which I don't think would motivate the singers or the audience.

  I had a chance to watch documentaries on North Korea which has songs performed by little children that are more motivating. After all, an oppressive regime could produce such nice tunes.

  Do you feel comfortable being an apostate?

  i always found it uncomfortable to informal witness to people but trying to convince a jw to jump ship brings much more pleasure..

  I am absolutely comfortable being and declaring that I am a Happy Apostate. In my case, no family repercussions and hence maybe. My user name for this Forum authenticates that.

  The very thought of not going to meeting/Assemblies/ field services anymore - to hear and spread ancient superstitions - is a great pleasure. To add more, I wish friends and family on any festivals and Birthdays now. Buy Lottery for the thrill. Watch R rated movies without any guilt, plant seeds of doubt to unsuspecting JWs. Its all a Joy ride since I quit.

  “For God so love the world …

  by deegee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ... that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not be destroyed but have everlasting life” (john 3:16).. it just occurred to me that if parents were to follow this scripture, they would put their children to death if their children don’t obey/agree with them.

  You have mentioned as "Returning to the Truth". Just make a research if WT (and Bible) really has the truth and then decide.

  due to last years success, i will post everything related to the 2017 regional convention in this thread.. to start us off.... thanks to exjw reddit user ich3b we have advance notice of the theme (this is not a joke!).

  the theme for the 2017 regional convention is: "don’t give up!” .

  as always, if you have access to confidential materials you would like to leak but need to protect your identity, pm me or email me: wifibandit1 (at) gmail.

  Regarding the convention theme "Do not Give up"

  Nobody motivates me to "Not to give up" on my parents or my wife. They are very real and have provided tangible love all the time . I realize this very well and hence would never give up on them, all my life.

  Nobody advises me not to give up on my belief on Gravity. We are convinced with truth and there need not be reminders.

  Somebody advising me not to give up on something means there are a million justified reasons to give up.

  May be the Biblical "Compilers" thought there was enough bloodshed and nonsense in the existing books and there wasn't any need to add more.
