A big hello and thank you

by iwasblind in

i just wanted to introduce myself and say a big hello to all of my mentally diseased friends.. i say friends because i have been lurking for some time so it feels like home (us lurkers are a bit scared and cautious so it takes a while).

i won't bore you with too many details, but i am a born in, currently serving as the cobe of a congregation.

my wife and i have pioneered for the last 10 years and were shaken awake by that ridiculous 15th july 2013 wt about the generation and 1914.. my wife who is much smarter than me has questioned for years.

Welcome...I am an atheist and felt no compulsion to seek god or jesus when I left the jws. My investigations into other forms of Christian worship or otherwise led me to realise that the jws were a part of and completely interlinked to the worldwide falsehood and deception of .. god head ..jesus..claimed human representation...reward..all achieved by conceding your absolute right to live your life without fear of failing to be worthy of reaching the standards set by some ancient dubious writings.

Best wishes.

Why I remain one of Jehovah's Witnesses

by Brother Jeramy in

allow me to begin with a clarification: when i say i am one of jehovah's witnesses, i don't mean that i am an advocate of the watchtower society or a devotee of some of its more controversial false teachings.

i mean that i am a christian, a disciple of jesus christ dedicated to jehovah god, and who remains in union with my brothers and sisters who make up the family of faith that globally refers to itself as jehovah's witnesses.

some totally understand the distinction between the family of brothers and sisters and the corporate organization known as the watchtower society (wts).

Jeramy try sending your post to the elders in your cong' and see how long you ' remain a jehovah's witness.you are deluding yourself!!

Jeramy...you call them your brothers and sisters! See how brotherly they will be towards you if they knew your innermost thoughts about their beloved mother organization. It seems to me you remain associated to this religion in a clandestine form afraid to face up to the reality of being exposed .

Quote or Misquote?.. Here are the full quotes from the June 1st 2015 Watchtower- How Science Affects Your Life

by defender of truth in

quote from 1 june 2015 watchtower:.

galaxie

These jw writers are being thoroughly and knowingly deceptive. They quite obviously seek out these scientific articles read them thoroughly and cherry pick to bolster their belief with the sole purpose of controlling the reader by misguidance. Imo it is dishonest bordering on criminal , otherwise they would endeavour to expand the further content of the article from which they are quoting. There are of course many precedents of this watchtower tactic.

by zophar in

curious as to how you feel about the actual words ascribed to jesus in a red letter edition translation bible like niv on biblegateway.com?.

do you feel these teachings are inspired and or beneficial to a productive life?

it seems to me that the actual words of jesus contain real wisdom and show how to live a fulfilling life.

galaxie

Hi zophar..please read your 2nd paragraph "seems to me the ' actual words of jesus ' etc' " . Yes I agree ' ascribed 'is accurate.

Best wishes.

" Actual words of jesus " ...is an erroneous and presumptuous statement. There is ZERO proof of anything jesus said , and dubious proof ' that ' jesus even existed.

The org, it's money problems ans other stuff!

by username in

hi there, although i have been a lurker here for a while now i've not yet posted a new topic, so here goes nothing lol.. i have been thinking a lot lately on all the changes and the branch visits, specifically the uk branch visit where apparently it has bean mentioned the great tribulation is about to start.. since i've not heard the full talk and only heard certain items from it i got to thinking that maybe this is the org's way of saying the watchtower is about to go down due to all the cover ups and the long list of discrepancies.. maybe i am way off the mark here, what does everone else think?.

Whoever ' attacks ' or threatens the existence of the JWs wtbts will have satan as their instigator,the rank and file will duly acknowledge, they have been primed.

Are you religious or are you spiritual? Wake up to what?

by Deltawave in

there is a huge difference between been religious and been spiritual.

been religious is about been superior to others in the sight of god.

however, been spiritual is about self awareness, inner peace and unity with the natural world.

galaxie

To seek a higher purpose by means of a supernatural undefined answer is to concede that your life from birth to grave is beyond your own ability to find a purposeful life from which you can find love , beauty,wonder and happiness and cherish your existence with others on this unique planet.

July Kingdom Ministry

by CloseTheDoor in

the july 2015 kingdom ministry says jws can't do international outreach through the internet, but to instead, point someone in the direction of jw.org site.. it's just another form of control.

the individual publisher is forced to send the interested one to a website fully controlled by the borg.. .

galaxie

In short...go to mother like good obedient little children and do not use your own initiative...or suffer the consequences!!! No adult independent reasoning required.

This directive from the borg is about control !!

by JWdaughter in

ok, l know i am not the first to notice or likely comment on this, but as little as i respect commenting on persons, i am going to do it now.. lett seems like a charicature.

he is so strange-i cringe when i watch him speak.its as ifhe was once given advice to speak slowly and clearly and now he just talks like a cartoon.

he creeps me out.

galaxie

I blame the person who is forcing you to watch !!! Lol
