Could U Please Cite Some Personal Interesting Observations About The Truth?

by minimus in

jw
friends

for anyone that looks at this thread, could you write something either profound or simply interesting so as to make the reader see the truth about "the truth"?

?

Blueblades

Without listing all the names of the individuals and all the books ( for they would be many, so many that it would take a book to list them ) written by those once in the truth. It is evident that one can come to the interesting observation about this so-called truth that the watchtower society says it and it alone has a corner on.

History has proven otherwise.

That very personal observation came to me when a judicial committee and an appeal committee proved that they know nothing about the one who called himself the truth.

My response to your question is a simple one that took me some time and an intense re-examination about the truth of those who claim that they alone have the truth.

Really, what is truth? Does anyone really know?

Slow, very slow.

slow, very slow, any day now.

my computer works very well on all other sites.

when i come to this jwd forum, it takes a long time, very slow for the pages to come up.. is this happening to anyone else?

Blueblades

Thanks for all your responses. Bourne, I think that it might be a server issue also. But, why now? I been on this site for almost six years and never ran up against this before. I'll try ctrl, alt, del. I 'll return back and let you know, slowly. Hoping someone can stop this from happening.

Slow, very slow, any day now. My computer works very well on all other sites. When I come to this JWD Forum, it takes a long time, very slow for the pages to come up.

Is this happening to anyone else? No matter what time of the day or night, weekdays or weekends when I come to this site the pages take a few minutes to show up. I even started to read a book while waiting for the site to pop up.

This is why I having been able to contribute to many of you who have made some interesting topics. Is there any way that I can correct this? As I said, all other sites are working good.

The Tort of Misrepresentation: If and when this can get off the legal ground, then the cults will be devastated financially. Wrongful deaths caused by misrepresentations of teachings which makes people put their lives on the line for such cults will have to be answered for.

Were the Cananites evil or were they simply destroyed for their land?

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

from the jw's/bible standpoint, was there good reason for 'god' to wipe out the cananite nation or was it just to give the jews the promised land?

please help me with this one if you can.

thanks.

Blueblades

It is a fictional account. Isrealite history story telling. The reason I say that is that when they say that they had a mandate from Yah. Jah, their hebrew God to kill, murder, men woman and children, old and young along with the animals and then later in another account save the virgins for themselves.....you get my drift?

The Design of Life

by Deputy Dog in

from: http://www.thedesignoflife.net.

the cover of the design of life features an artists portrayal of human brain circuitry as it might appear if magnified many thousands of times.

the portrayal illustrates an intriguing discussion of the human brain in chapter one, quoted here in part: during the first eighteen months from conception, the brains neurons are formed, deployed, and connected in a tsunami of activity, at the rate of 250,000 per minute, until 100 billion neurons are arrayed in a powerful, organized matrix.

It has always been two camps. One for and one against. Scholars on both sides, take your pick. Read, study and learn. In the end, we all die. What comes next is one of two things, one ) nothing, two ) something.

Faith, and personal experiences not withstanding.

Do you consider your time as a JW wasted time??

by karter in

many of us have devoted a lot of time and energy to the jw's at the expense of other things like education , planing for retirement , family time just to name a few.. i don't consider it all wasted time there was a lot of good i learnt however i'm doing things now as a jw i never would have.. i don't have the same time pressure and never fell guilty about taking a lot of time out for myself as one elder said to me"if we don't keep you brothers real busy in the work of the kingdom you get swallowed up by the world" .

karter.

Blueblades

Yes and No. YES. 33 years slaving for the society reaching out for that infamous "CARROT" any day now, very near, soon and etc.not preparing for the retirement years and so forth.

NO. The family says that it was a learning experience that we would of never otherwise had about religion, God etc.

My family is still intact as we all got out together.

For the many others who suffered so much, i.e. Child Abuse, Wrongful Death because of the Blood Doctrine, Disfellowshippings, Shunnings, Divorce, Separations, Sexual Issues in the bedroom, on and on to this very day, they may say, what a waste of the precious years of life that they experienced as captives of a concept that they believed was the truth.

Don't Fight It - We'll Never Be Rid Of Jehovahs Witnesses

by shamus100 in

jw
friends

it's just so apperant that these people are so out of touch with reality that the whole world could just not give a crap.. the level of stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

these people just love to feel this incredible persecution, a feeling like they've been so 'hard done by', yet they are completely false.

nearly every religion has had persecution of some sort - jw's, despite they're bizarre and psychotic behavior are completely harmless.

The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom. When was the last time you read an in-depth study article about Jehovah's Kingdom in The Watchtower like they use to have back in the late sixties and early seventies? Now it's all cut and paste.

1914 and 1919 have to go!

by Mickey mouse in

i was reading an interesting thread in the "best of" sub forum about how the wbts are referring to 1914 less and less in the literature.

this thread was from 2001 (would love to paste the link here but i have serious technical difficulties with this site .

i definitely see the society using the "silent dropping" technique referenced by ray franz and expect to see 1914 discounted completely in the near future.

Blueblades

In Ray Franz's book Crises of Conscience he mentions that President Knorr was not sure about 1914 and that some other governing body members wanted to move the date from 1914 to 1956 the year the russians put sputnik in orbit, as the sign of the last days beginning.
