  Logic Lures Them in, Emotions Keep them In

  by jgnat in

  2. beliefs

  the wtbts was able to get a foothold years ago because they offered a radical departure from traditional christianity.

  they offered up an alternative view of god and the afterlife, some prophetic math, and a good kick in the pants to mainline churches.

  the catholic (universal) church deserved that kick, caught asleep on the job.

  Big Tex:

  So is that what this board is all about? To raise objections and draw attention to the 'faults' of JWs?

  I am not being argumentative ... I'd like to know.

  And I feel I have every right to draw attention to the good of JWs.

  Hi DannyBear:

  This is my third attempt to post back to you. If this one fails I won't try again.

  You say your observations have affected me but I'm not one of THEM either, so your point is moot.

  You call this a JW discussion page but in fact the true title is 'Forum for Jehovah's Witnesses" so it's already missleading. The name implies it is a page FOR JWs, not a place to bash them.

  You would still be better off discussing your beliefs with your JW rellies and let the chips fall where they may.

  Hi jgnat:

  You say other religions offer a way of life and a life style ... thus the difference. Being a JW IS a way of life AND a life style. It may seem subtle but there IS a vast difference.

  You are welcome to speak up but it won't affect them in the slightest so why get in such a dither?

  As long as you have family 'in' why not respect their mentality and keep your arguments involved only with them. They deserve to know your true feelings or it's built on a false basis.

  Hi again ... I know I'm going to get dumped on for this but I can't not say anything.

  Jehovah's Witnesses is not just another religion ... it is a way of life AND a life style.

  It is not their concern to be acceptable by you or anyone else. If you don't agree with them why be concerned with them? If their beliefs don't jibe with yours, ignore them but why make a career out of dissing them?

  If you don't want them bothering you, all you have to do is tell them and you will not be contacted again.

  If you don't mind we can continue to have dialog via PM. I have nothing against open and honest discussions but for everyone elses benefit and yours and mine lets let this thread die a decent death.

  Thanks for your concern; it's obvious you mean well. And I intend to READ everything I can and hopefully make a knowledgeable decision.

  Didn't King David suffer while repenting for his wrong-doing? By his open prayers and honestly facing up to what he did wrong and through supplication; I'm sure he suffered.

  Some suffering tests ones metal (sp); shows whether it is important enough to us to do something about it. Suffering isn't my forte but hopefully see an end in sight.

  I have to admit, you scare me a bit. Time will tell what my hearing will be like. All I'm trying to do is go into it with all the knowledge I can get.

  Let's put it this way ... if my hearing is successful, none of you will ever hear from me again. If I'm reinstated, they will let me know when it will be announced ... I will post that here and for obvious reasons will never be back.

  So ... let's see what happens.

  RAZORBLADE:

  You DO have a cutting edge.

  Thanks for letting me know your situation. Guess we've both 'been there .. done that'. I DO know where you are coming from and appreciate how you feel. I'm sure in your heart of hearts you are trying to save me from anymore heartache. That is so good of you ... shows a caring spirit.

  You are so eloquent that I feel at a loss ... all I can say is ... I have faith in Jehovah and his organization.

  Sorry I missed your last post to me yesterday. As I said in my PM to you, the society is the representative of god so in fact through them He has df'd me. I rejected Him first by knowingly allowing myself to get addicted. Therefore; the society is not responsible for any unhappiness I've suffered. I am, as we all are, accountable for my actions.

  If I'm still missing the point you are making, I'm sorry.
