Two Jehova's males in ugly and funky dark blue dress up clothes knock on the door of an elderly woman.
She opens the door and asks who they are.
They tell her that they are Jehova's Witnesses and she lets them both inside.
She authoritatively mandates them to take a seat on her sofa, and asks if they would relish a nice refreshing cup of tea or coffee.
"Two teas would be nice, please, we sure could use it" comes the replication.
Then she asks if they would relish custard creams with their drinks.
"Oh, yes please, that would be lovely, and God surely likes that." comes the replication.
Five minutes later the geriatric woman comes back into the front room and places the drinks and biscuits on the table, sits down and verbalizes, "So what is it that you want to talk to me about?"
The first Jehova shrugs his shoulders and verbalizes, "Oh, we actually don't know ,ma'am, this is the furthest that we have ever got."

What is the basis for authority for the governing body?

by Half banana in

a word to jehovahs witnesses: what is the basis for the authority the seven members of the governing body can claim in controlling the lives of eight million followers?

the organisation they represent has never got one useful piece of information correct in one hundred and thirty five years... so why should they be believed?.

looter

They do have a false basis for authority in Matthew. That apparently warrants the followers to believe that the governing body are God's chosen stooges. But that is just it. They believe because they are brainwashed into believing, not that there is actually any proof or basis for worship and recognition. The governing are masters of trickery, but we already know that.

A Question for Underground Apostates, How Many Are There?

by Village Idiot in

when i first came to this forum i was of the belief that those of us who were still in due to family reasons were few in numbers perhaps one in a thousand in the jws.

soon i came to the realization that there were many more.

we have dozens of posters here who are mentally out but still in.

looter

maybe like 0.125%. I'm only sure of one person that may know. All the others that seem like they know are just the type of witnesses that believe, but just don't act zealous in it at all.

You might be a jw

if the best thing you could do after someone just saved your life is give them a tract..

if you visit the same houses for years and have never been inside any..

if the worst thing possible that can happen to your family is not showing up to a meeting..

You might be a jw...

if you have been in the religion since you were born and don't know anything true about the founder...

if the last time you remember sleeping in on a Saturday was when you were a toddler..

if you can go to a 6 hour assembly and the only thing you can remember after you left is when you left...

They are still lying, even though they revised the FAQ.

by DATA-DOG in

do jehovahs witnesses feel that they are the only people who will be saved?.

many millions who lived in centuries past and who werent jehovahs witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation.

the bible explains that in gods promised new world, there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

looter

typical bait switch technique of the jw.org. If someone read this and started studying, by the time they are finished, they will not recall that sentence because they will believe that the truth is all clear. It literally takes not much time for the mind control to kick in.

Pick your belief system

by Giordano in

i think we've all noticed a ton of newbe's these past months.

one part of escaping or thinking about escaping the jw's is coming to terms with what you believe now and/or what direction you are leaning towards.. here is a site that has a quick quiz that may be of some worth or just for fun.

i took it when i first signed on here and the results surprised me because it was pretty accurate.. you don't have to sign up for anything and when you finish you will get a percentage answer on 20 major belief systems.

"Gentile Times"

by zeb in

i am reading again the work.."the gentile times reconsidered" by carl olof jonsson.

it is very heavy going but he uses world sources as used by wt to totally refute the 607 thing.

he sent his studies on this to bethel ny and waited on jehovah.

I would like to read it but it costs over a hundred bucks on ebay and amazon. It is mind-blowing how ludicrous those lies about 607 b c were to witnesses. What is even more crazy is that they still believe it and it has become the basis for almost everything they teach and use to teach (doomsday dates). Anyone know a moocher?

QUESTIONING THE OBVIOUS or deconstructing Jehovah's Witnesses

by TerryWalstrom in

what is the most obvious thing you can think of about jehovah's witnesses from the standpoint of worldwide recognition?.

wouldn't it be 2 primary things: the name jehovah and secondly, the public testimony or witnessing?.

let's begin deconstructing those two things.. first, why would christians refer to themselves by any other name than christian?.

looter

"If God wanted them to call themselves "Jehovah's Witnesses," why does the NWT rendering of Acts 11:26 say that it was by divine providence that they were called "Christians"?"

That is why jehovah's witnesses are a cult in the first place. The fact that they disunited themselves from the rest of Christianity by transmuting their denomination to something resembling an anarchist proves they are not the true religion of God and not Christians. That "New Bible Study Method" (aka studying Zion's Watchtower Pubs) is plenarily unscriptural and was made to detract people from the bible but to lead them to untruth from Russell.

Genuinely appreciate this dissecting of where these particular credences emanated from and how they commenced. Clever utilization of erudition and enlightenment.
