Now the New UK Bethel has a Web Site

yep, more internet usage.

Great find. Notice how the web designer is an outsourced company. I wonder why they felt the need to do this, the site seems very JWish with a hint of non-JW influence. It probably is all about the money. It always is.

Great find Rebel8, but most JWs won't see it as failed prophesy. They are too indoctrinated, but still we can have hope people are waking up. We have had a couple this week wake up on JWN, one was a teenager still at school. Goodnews eh?

JW.org might be messing up

Leaving the JWs, experiencing Christianity and finding freedom! (But it took awhile)

by im_free in

this is my first post here.. i was raised in "the truth", and am an ex-bethelite who worked in brooklyn for several years back in the 90's.

a few years after i left bethel, i started to become disillusioned after doing research about the society and reading crisis of conscience (i know..i wasn't supposed to do that lol).

i eventually stopped attending meetings and going out in service.

Satan does not exist in the earliest parts of the OT before the Babylonian exile. Everything was attributed to Yahweh - good and evil.-cofty

I disagree the serpent was mentioned in Gen Ch 3, the rest of the bible refers to him being the father of the lie, Satan the Devil. It's evil to lie, hence the bible introduces evil straight away. In the first chapter of Job, satan has a conversation with God, the whole book of Job features Satan.

The point is do we belive what the bible teaches about evil. As I think that God is indifferent to us I likewise feel there is no evil force that cares about what we do. I do believe that people can be selfish, greedy, inconsiderate and hurtful. These types of people are evil. But people can also be the opposite.

Welcome Im_free, thank you for your story. You and your wife have certainly had an interesting journey since the 90's. I too believe in God the creator but, I cannot accept he is a benevolent God that cares about us. I don't believe in the God of the Bible, I don't belive that is was from God at all.

Whatever happened has a lesson for us!

by Kalos in

when my dad left jws, his stoic remark was: it was not a total wastage; after all i learned something good about the witnessestheir resolve to continue with their original claim that they are the appointed channel of god, even when they know in their heart of hearts that they are not.

why cant i imitate that sort of resolve in doing something worthwhile?

he thus echoed confucius who said: to be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.. a poor choice we made, some obstructions or some resistance are almost always viewed with fear and anxiety.

KateWild

Don't worry! You will get it later-Kalos

Just because you wrote something down, and you understand it, it doesn't mean it will make sense to everyone that reads it. Your response is condesending, as if you are more experienced and knowledgeable than me. I will never understand what you wrote and you did not write it in way that it makes sense. It has no real point to it.

Video of JW's street witnessing using a tablet ... getting owned by BIble users

by wannabefree in

i came across this video ... and watched it ... why?

i don't know really, but i found it intersting.. especially interesting was how these men used the bible, they knew their message, they used an actual hard copy bible that has obviously been studied, and the older jw man, well, he was using a tablet.

it seemed cumbersome compared to using the actual bible.

KateWild

The non-JWs are dogmatic. The priest asks questions and doesn't listen to answers. He interupts and doesn't stick to a point. I found the video irritating and annoying. I am in now way a JW apologist but the JWs didn't get a chance to actually say anything without interuption.
