how the residents feel about receiving a letter from a jw children..

EverApostate

Luckily, Jehovah didn’t interfere with my family while I grew up as a protestant kid in India. The weekends were the most delightful moments, as for like any other child . The joy begins at Friday afternoon at school.

Friday, We would go home, watch tv, have dinner and sleep with a lot of excitement for the upcoming weekend.

Saturday mornings- we would get up, have tea and breakfast and out we go into the neighborhood. It was all fun activities. Cricket, kite flying and a lot of local games. If we have money, we would go for a matinee. Our parents won’t mind, until we don’t show up for many hours.

Sunday, occasionally my parents would take me to the church for a couple of hours in the morning. And back home. Hooraay. Continue with the fun activities until evening. Study, for an approaching Exam. Watch a Sunday evening movie on the tv and get ready for the Next day school.

Just feel pity for the JW kids, who are totally enslaved with WT activities. This is robbing their childhood.

God defeats whole armies, but couldn't defeat '' the men in Iron chariots''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

judges 1. .

new international version.

israel fights the remaining canaanites.

EverApostate

So the Lord was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron

The Bible plainly states here that the Lord was with Judah but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron.

How ridiculuous to still beleive that the Lord is God Almighty and he would accomplish anything.

This verse authentically proves that this Lord is a myth that the ancient Israleites worshipped.

First 3 Presidents never knew JC began his reign as King in 1914 ?

by smiddy3 in

the first 3 presidents of the i.b.s.a ./ jehovah`s witnesses / wtb&ts.. w.h.conley ,c.t.russell ,j.f.rutherford .. how many jehovah`s witnesses know that ?

how many ex jehovah`s witnesses knew that ?

the wt society teaches that jesus returned to begin his "invisible presence" in 1914 directing his attention toward the earth as ruling king.

EverApostate

This "Jesus Became King in 1914" is a Joke.
So what did the king accomplish ? Eliminated Satan. ? Eliminated poverty, violence, crime ? Eliminated sickness, death ? Does he even show up to earthly people. Oh, he is invisible. That is all his accomplishment

BTW, Which presidents you are talking about ?

C T Russell and His Numerology.

by Lost in the fog in

i came across this older wt which i assume c t russell wrote the article.

unlike modern practitioners of numerology who calculate a value for each letter of the alphabet, russell simply adds up the number of letters in each word to arrive at [horror of horrors] 666.. and he lists there on the page each one of the organisations that must accordingly be part of the great harlot with 18 letters [in english] in their titles, because 18 is clearly 6+6+6 or 666!

strangely he hasn't stopped to think about another possibility for an 18 letter title.

EverApostate

Todays serious interpretations of the WT, would be laughable likewise, in another 25 years.

The Genesis account again proved WRONG

by opusdei1972 in

according to the watchtower's insight encyclopedia : .

the catastrophic destruction of men and animals by an overwhelming flood in the days of noah, 2370 b.c.e.

this greatest cataclysm in all human history was sent by jehovah because wicked men had filled the earth with violence.

EverApostate

Here are my 2 cents regarding the Noahs flood.

Only 8 people in Noahs family were good. All other people, all over the world were evil ? Ridiculous. This shows the geographical ignorance of the Bible writer

An angel of god, killed 184K Assyrians in one night. Given this power, why would that same god flood the entire world to kill the supposed evil people? It’s like flooding the home to kill the bugs.

All the species of the earth got into the ark? Doesn’t sound practical. There are millions of species –including mini bugs - and getting everything into the ark in pairs and maintaining them in a global flood is a mere fairy tale.

How about the food storage for all the species in the ark? Did Noah collect them too? Different animals eat different things. What about waste disposal? Only 8 people maintained them?

The bible says the ark floated above all the tall mountains of the earth. Then it should have floated above Mt Everest. In that height the air becomes thin, making it difficult to breathe, unless you have an Oxygen breathing mask. All the species survived that condition, got out and repopulated the earth?

The whole Noah story - as like most of the ridiculous stories in the bible – is an insult to any thinking person

Watch out, here comes the Governing Body!

by neat blue dog in

a picture in this week's wt shows the annointed after being raised to heaven, when they start "smashing the nations".

creepy!!

i imagine am3 is out front, it seems like something he's eager for.

What about the women 144.000, there are few of those too, where are they in this picture ?

Revelation 14:4 : "These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins.

Also, I m curious about their headbands. What does that signify ?
Reminds me of theme park Wristbands

Do We Get A Clean Slate When We Die? (Watchtower View Examined)

by Sea Breeze in

the watchtower teaches that the opportunity to be born again and enjoy complete justification with god ended in 1935, having been limited to only 144k since pentecost.

so, it is very surprising that the watchtower embraces the death that is described in romans chapter 6, since this is the very death that is required to be born again…… which is denied to watchtower members!

romans chapter 6, verse 7 is about saying goodbye to the old personality, the “old man” in the king james version.

Do We Get A Clean Slate When We Die

Thats the end of everything for us. Gone for Eternity.

Can a righteous God be one-sided?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

a mother and her four young daughters — the oldest of whom was 6 — died in a residential fire wednesday morning in des plaines, il.

officials said.. four young children and one adult were killed in a house fire in the 700 block of west oakton street in des plaines, jan. 27, 2021.. .

after 45 years as a jehovah's witness, this tragic story really has me really questioning if there really is a god?

EverApostate

He did however, create us in his image

If we were created in gods Image, shouldnt we all be invisible.

Why do we feel hunger, thirst, get diseases, suffer and die if we were created in his image.

Suffering and death due to Eve eating an apple, because a snake told to do so. Thats a silly fairy tale.

Immortal soul - Just a wishful thinking of humans.

A JW family of 5 I think, died in a plane crash near Buffalo -New York sometime in 2009. The plane stalled and fell from the sky spiraling down and critics said that was the most frightening death.

How about the thousands of JWs that were systematically tortured and killed in Nazi camps.

And there are incidents where JWs were mauled by dogs and died in road accidents, during field service

And Jehovah watches these silently ?

A rational thinking person would not accept it

A 'typical JW' story

by joey jojo in

i am friends with an elderly 'worldly' woman, who was unaware i am an ex-jw.

she employs a jw husband and wife pioneer couple for odd jobs around her house- mowing, cleaning etc.

the couple has been working for her and her recently deceased husband for years.. just before the 2019 international convention, despite the fact that the husband was fighting his last battle with illness, the couple kept asking him to attend the convention with them.

EverApostate

My Ex-JW friends - whom I considered as family - stopped talking to me after I got Disassociated. It has been 10 years since.

Thats the way JWs operate. Like Programmed Robots.
