David Splane's apostate warning convention talk

by neat blue dog in

i know this recent video has been talked about already but i just watched it and here are a few things that got me annoyed as usual:.

splane says that if a bible student says he saw some negative information from apostates and asks us to explain it, we shouldn't look at it or address anything specifically, but instead we should tell them to go to meetings and hear what we have to say about ourselves and also tell them to befriend people at the hall.

for any person with integrity and/or intelligence, this is not a satisfactory answer.

EverApostate

First and foremost why do they term anything against them as Poison?

If a poisonous apostate thinking can wreck your faith, sorry brother, your faith is very weak and without any foundation.

How do we determine its poison? What if it’s a life saving medicine? You need not taste anything to check out a Poisonous thing but there are a million other ways to determine if it’s a Poison or a life saving medicine.

Nobody can poison us NOT to believe that the sun or the moon Exists. If that is so, why does an argument against God or the WT so powerful and devastates faith?

HOW A SISTER’S FAITH IS TESTED

by pistolpete in

going to preach in countries where jehovah's witnesses are banned is a sign of faith!

powerful by faith 2021 convention of jehovah's witnesses - friday morning.

the latest video is about a sister preaching in a country where there are only 3 publishers.

EverApostate

The bible says that all nations are like a drop of water in a bucket for Jehovah

And many nations (Saudi Arabia, Singapore, North Korea and many others) ban the Almighty god's most important preaching Work and worship places for decades... And the almighty cant do anything about it. Isn’t that a shame on what they call the Almighty ?

If only the JWs reason out this with an open mind, I think that’s it

Did you think this was it for the Watchtower-(Covid)- Well-They are coming back with even greater ZEAL!

by pistolpete in

so you all probably heard that the awake magazine is back, .

https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/?contentlanguagefilter=en&pubfilter=g&yearfilter=.

and one of my jw relatives said they were told by some elders that meetings and field service will resume before the end of the year.. they said this covid virus was a test, like when the romans breached jerusalem and retreated, only to come back later and sack jerusalem.

The Bible and its use of excesses beggars belief ?

by smiddy3 in

how many accounts of the bibles use of excesses can you recall ?

i will start off with a favourit of mine.. the inauguration of solomons temple and the sacrifices offered .2chron.7 :4-5 , 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep ?

c,mon.

EverApostate

This is the bloody sacrifice of Solomon, in 2 Chronicles 7

142,000 animals slaughtered and sacrificed ? in 2 weeks. Here is the breakdown, if I am correct

71,000 per week

10,142 per day

422 per hour

7 cattle per minute.

Wow, Mind boggling. Could this have happened? Very unlikely. If happened, for what purpose?. To please a god living in the heaven, with all comforts and glory.

My Conclusion: The bible writers were propaganda freaks, trying to establish the glory of their non- existing god. They were Just randomly writing down Exaggerated and impractical numbers. No one in their time would have believed this, until the RC church adopted the Bible as Gods word.

Why did Jehovah choose false prophet apostates as his chosen earthly organization (1919) ?

by Rocketman123 in

from a theological and biblical perspective, this has to be asked and critically examined.. the doctrines this organization and its self described fdsl (gb) chosen ones has preached and taught have now more than ever have shown to be false teachings.. the bible warns of false prophets and those who say things that god has not given them to say but the wts from its earliest beginning made proclamations such as jesus's return in 1874.. so if one were to faithfully adhere to what the bible says and more so jesus's instructions for preaching his gospel of a new kingdom to come, who really are jws loyal to, the wts.

and its top leading men or jesus and jehovah ??

?..

EverApostate

Bible is false, Jehovah is false then why bother about some "False" Prophets.

Actually the word Prophet is a misnomer. Nobody can predict the future. If they do, they would rule the world

Why did Jehovah Kill all the animals in the flood? What purpose did it serve??

by pistolpete in

some of my jw family that is waking up posed that question to my jw family that is still hanging on to jw belief.. the stepbrother that posed that question told me;.

"in all these years of being a jw, i actually never gave it much thought as to why jehovah had to kill millions of innocent animals that had nothing to do with mankind becoming evil.".

i keep picturing in my mind, all the baby puppies and kitties that were destroyed by jehovah.

EverApostate

Not only the flood. Even after that Jah commands his beloved war mongers - Moses, Joshua - to slaughter all animals, while they invade a nation

Development of a False Prophecy

by Ding in

based on wt history of repeated false prophecies, here is the way these things seem to develop:.

1. someone connects unrelated bible verses and comes up with a date for the end.. 2. this date is "confirmed" by outside information, such as pyramid measurements.. 3. they share this "hidden knowledge" with others.. 4. they develop a following of people who are excited to be the only ones on earth who understand "the deep things of god.".

5. they promote the date.. 6. people laugh them to scorn.. 7. the faithful cry "persecution" and wait expectantly.. 8. as the date approaches, they get more and more excited.. 9. when the date is imminent, leaders get worried and start to hedge their bets through cautionary language.. 10. when the date comes and goes, they come up with some explanation (adam-eve creation gap, no year 0, etc.

EverApostate

Your WT Modus Operandi is correct. Almost all cults operate the same way

The word Prophecy itself is fraudulant. There is nothing such as a Prohecy. Nobody can predict the future.

False Prophecy = False Lie.

All lies are false. Does False Lie make any sense ?

Thats my honest opinion.

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?.

EverApostate

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.
