What was the defining moment that started your becoming a JW ?

by smiddy3 in

let me explain what i mean: i was in the company of a workmate when i looked at my hands and my arms and pointed out the veins and said something like look at that, isn`it amazing how veins and arteriies circulate the blood through our bodies ?.

he later explained to me he wasn`t sure what he should say to me as we had been working together for about six years and he had never once brought up about his jw background .he was what we would call a weak witness and he considered me a street kid who swore and drank too much.

i was twenty years old at the time.. i can`t remember the actual conversations that transpired ,but thats what started me down the road to becoming a witness and then convincing my gf to join me and about two years later we were married in a kh.. can you point to any one thing or conversation that started you down the road to becoming a witness?.

I was so much fed up with my then protestant beliefs. The JWs then presented me with a shining, glittering, truthful?, everlasting life package that was so irresistible.

And they said that Christendom glossed over Jehovah’s name and it’s only the JW who use it.

That created a sort of Sympathy over Jah and I surrendered.

An Almighty god, who kills people instantly for petty things, can’t protect his own name in his own holy book. I never had this question in mind when I fell for it. Common sense matters most in life

Research question

by JeffT in

i'm doing a little background research for a novel.

what is the craziest thing you heard a witness say was demonized, and what did they do about it?.

EverApostate

Sis X bought some things from a Christiian Charity store and when she bought those things home, her dog barked violently at those things. She got rid of those "Demon possessed" things and her dog calmed down.

When I was turning an Apostate, I bought the "Crisis of Conscience book". My JW spouse reported this to the elders who came witch hunting on me. I was told to destroy that book - Shred into pieces so that nobody reads it again. I handed it over to my spouse who destroyed it.

I have some fancy color serial lights at home . Whenever JWs visit my wife, she hides it. Jehovah is not happy with those colorful serial lights, which are used for CHristmas.

The absolute insanity that religion breeds

by LoveUniHateExams in

however good certain religious principles may or may not be, there seems to be complete insanity that only religion breeds.. a buddhist monk in thailand has apparently chopped off his own head to give himself 'good luck' in the afterlife.. .

There is plenty of eyewitness testimony that establishes it.

My Testimony
There are plenty of eyewitnesses that saw my great grandfather resurrecting many people. Of course those eyewitnesses are no more alive and have not written down anything about it. And I dont know their names either.
And my grandpa is gone too.
Its all hearsay from their generation to me

If you beleive this you would be rewarded, Else Punished

Except real Christianity, which has nothing to do with your own works but everything to do with what Jesus has done, where salvation is a free gift that cannot be earned.

Christianity is real. Really ?

The gospels were written 40 years after the supposed miracles of Jesus and they were adopted by Romans, edited, compiled,edited, compiled, edited, compiled ,edited, compiled and still there are numerous verions of the Bible, having their own Interpretations...

BTW, what is salvation ? Nothing but hypothesis theory to Enslave mankind

The difference in JWs in the cult

by mickbobcat in

i have been in several congregations over the years.

the hypocrisy was staggering.

so many of these idiots were fake jws.some were strict followers and were as annoying as could be.

EverApostate

When I was a JW, many times I would get the feeling of spreading a very silly message to the Public. Would be so embarassed to wear suits on the weekend and go preach about some silly, funny, idiotic middle east myths.

What a freedom now.

WT Says Don't Contract with False Religion, But Does Just That

by Sea Breeze in

.

let's all open up our crystals to 2 facet 1: 1 - here we lean about how buddha escapes prism.

EverApostate

So the most holy worship place of Jehovah is sold to become a place of False worship.

I think the GB should be the first to be destroyed in Armeggadon

How long did it take before you realized that you missed the obvious?

by pistolpete in

remember when the public speaker in the kingdom hall or convention related the ten plagues and the parting of the red sea?.

the finale when jehovah closes the red sea and swallows pharaoh's entire army of egyptian men.. when i was a little kid about 5 years old and listened to this story, i would think---wow jehovah is strong.

when i started school and started learning compassion as early as the first grade i started wondering?????.

EverApostate

And the slaughter of firsborn is what they call "passover" and this time of the the year is celebrated as the MOST HOLY time of the year.

Yearly Celebration of a Genocide, or mass killing or whatever we may call it.

Memorial Prep question

by ExCircuitOverseer in

so are individual witnesses being told to prepare bread and have wine on hand for the zoom memorial?

are they saying it’s “vital” or is it just a “suggestion?” .

EverApostate

My JW wife was particular in getting the wine prescribed by the GB. CHIANTI. It wasnt available in a local wine store and we had to drive miles to get it.

I asked her "Will you drink it during the ceremony"

She replied "No"

I asked "Can I drink it"

She replied "No, I would pour it down after the event"

I asked "If you are pouring it down why do you want to take all pains to buy it "

She threw a tantrum

Prove That Jehovah’s Witnesses Do Not Have The “Truth”

by minimus in

jw
friends

someone is researching jehovah’s witnesses.

they happen to come on to this site.

do the witnesses have the truth??.

EverApostate

Bible itself is a myth based on falsehoods. How can WT or any religion thereof, based on the Bible, have any truth.

The only way they prove they have the truth , is by certifying themselves. Thinking people wont accept it

Handwritten letter's from JW children "sick"

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.
