i'm starting to believe the bethel higher ups are trolling us.
the outright contradictions and stuff like overlapping generation is too ridiculous.
calling out the harold camping when we did the same thing.
Heaven's g.... Who has the insight? Who decides,... You?
Many here had the insight to stay well clear of your man made hypocritical organization.
They still can live loving honest caring lives and detest wickedness without having to compromise their intelligent reasoning to a proven falsehood!!!

Ye shall reap what you sow it. comes to us all in the end!!
as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.
when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.
this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.
Personally I have found JW politeness soon turns to arrogance when they are confronted with questions which they are unable to understand let alone at least reason on.
But, of course the closed mindset corners the incumbent person in this way.
Best to have an open enquiring mind
The JWs are expected to " toe the line " or suffer the consequences. !!
Hope you find your answers D.O.T.
Best wishes to you .
i am beginning to see a complete unbalanced shift from one end of the spectrum to the other.
i'll use jw's as the example but this would apply to any religion and any person.
if you just accepted the jw teachings unquestionably from the governing body because you felt they were the highest authority on the matter and 'trusted' them before waking up to ttatt you may shift to the other end of the spectrum.
Very few if any major discoveries are carried out by one scientist archaeologist alone.
There will be teams of researchers some with differing views, but whatever is published or brought to our attention will have gone through a lot of scrutiny
If at a later date this information proves through further study to be incorrect, scientists will have no problem correcting or adjusting it.
All their evidence is there for anyone to accept or refute, it's up to the individual to confirm their decision to accept or otherwise.
Bible based stories require faith in fairytales by contrast.No intelligent person could make a comparison without compromising their intelligence.
In my humble opinion of course.
hello my fellow "apostates".
just wanted to say hi.
i'm still in the borg but mentally out.
Welcome F.F I'm sure you'll have a story to tell about past and current goings on.
Best wishes to you , its early days tread carefully.

Do you think they troll individually, or as one internet inspired body?

The"faithful slave" , so called, have never been a faithful anything . Neither a prophet or gods mouthpiece.
They are 8 men totally caught up in the business of relicom comfortable in the knowledge that they are
bolstered by individuals too scared to question them(for the most part) I only hope more like d.o.t will
Ask questions. Cmon be brave it's your life!!
Relicom;...Religious commercialism (don't try the dictionary lol).

Heavens,.... You quote from current JW literature to uphold your G.Bs thinking.
You would have done and indeed probably did the same to uphold the "old light".
Are you prepared to change your tune in the future when the game changes again or are you confident
they the 8 men in New York have got the truth now?
It appears to me they are leading you all on a merry dance to nowhere.
Why do you pay attention to these mortals(sorry immortals lol).
By what method do they claim to speak for you?
Personally I would have to question that if I were reliant on it for my salvation.
Thankfully I'm not!!
if you are sure there is no god, do you then believe that we,our minds, are the highest intelligence?
not just of the universe, but the cosmos?.
Intelligence, gives us as a species the ability to understand learn, but also how we use that ie methodical intelligence
Are we seen as intelligent if we use our abilities in a detrimental way?
Theism has IMO been detrimental to humanity in many ways
Whereas non belief itself harms no one as there is no agenda for athiests to demand allegiance of.
And no god to defend(to the death at times)
As far as higher intelligence somewhere in the vastness of the cosmos , I think is beyond our ken.
But am I intelligent enough to say , absolutely not but who knows?
