  Another few minutes there would have been no ambiguity from the jw, he would have to eventually show his true colors and defend the gb ( and cohorts ) and organization. Whatever jesus is given credit for would be on the back burner !! It's pitiful there minds are so ensnared.

  To me the jesus 2000 yr old experiment has gone on way too long. Are we seriously saying that what is believed by christians to be the most important aspect of their existence is still open for interpretation? My question would be why? This christ/god character should be trashed as a massively failed experiment with no relevancy to contemporary life.

  What Jehovah can't do...

  by C0ntr013r in

  2. beliefs

  during the rc today i heard this(i am paraphrasing and translating):.

  "jehovah has created the physical universe for us.

  he is a spirit and he can't enjoy physical things so he created it for us alone.

  The idea of god/ jehovah has given humans the ability to speculate, most of which is complete and utter nonsense. Alas the obsession seems to be permanent in some ! There are more worthwhile things to be concerned about.

  "Deep Down , He Knows That It is The Truth"

  by BluesBrother in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this phrase i heard again at the weekend when a diehard dub was discussing his non believing, but much loved son.

  "it is just that..... [insert any excuse here].

  it is something that they all say about us, yet nothing could be further from the truth.

  Yes I heard this countless times until I was really forced to give my family some very uncomfortable home ' truths ' Im sure they now have got the message after many tears and regrettably I'm sure my responses caused one of my parents to be quite unwell but I detested the fact that they thought I hadn't reasoned the whole rejection of the jw bull...sh.. on my own and old nick had nothing to do with it !!

  Why would Jehovah and Jesus talk to Satan?

  by hardtobeme in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if satan is the greatest apostate there is, why he was allowed to be in heaven?

  job chapters 1 and 2 says that jehovah talked to him.

  wasn't jehovah supposed to shun his son and set an example to all parents?.

  Perhaps they were looking in the mirror at their alter egos !!

  Looking Back In Retrospect To 1975...

  by titch in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  greetings, folks: so, it's been 40 years since 1975. and, if you were actively involved with the witnesses back then, the mindset of many was, that by early autumn of 1975, it would mark the anniversary of 6000 years of human existence.

  and, the hope was then, that it would mark the start of the 1000-year of christ, from the heavenly realm.

  but, looking back now, 40 years ago, in june of 1975, only 3 more months remained until early autumn.

  Unfortunately their( jws ) mindset is still the same,only a different focus drip fed by the gb and their oh so willing helpers. Mention 1975 and they apologise for the mother ship, that's even if they know what your talking about some of the younger ones and newer converts haven't a clue ! Myself 1975 didnt faze me one bit as by that time I had absolutely made up my mind it was not the truth. As the new year brought 1976 I did wonder about my families thoughts as they were uber dubs! 1975 was the year I was married in the kh, it was also the last time I set foot in one!

  If you had any doubts about the pitifully poor mental prowess of Watchtower and JWs in general ...

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if you had any doubts about the pitifully poor mental prowess of watchtower and jws in general then i'm sure this week's watchtower study (week of june 15-21, 2015) completely obliterated such doubts.

  the study article (watchtower april 15, 2015, page 19: how real is your relationship with jehovah?

  ) was filled with blatantly fallacious reasoning that were outdone only by the more fallacious reasoning on the part of commenting jws.. the article, in paragraph 2, says this about a relationship with jehovah:.

  One hope for ALL christians - interesting video on heavenly hope

  by paradisebeauty in

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n7qe6fqac4.

  a short video with proof from the bible that the ones going to "heaven" are not meant to stay there forever, but just to meet jesus there (at the rapture) and be with him forever, on earth, not in heaven!.

  The belief that these biblical accounts , so called visions, prophecies are to be taken literally smacks of madness or at least gross delusion. Dead people rising,people going up in clouds, riding horses out of clouds(how did the horses get in the clouds) a city coming out of heaven(whatever that is ! )please remember folks all this comes from the minds of ancient people are we not much the wiser? To take this non..sense literally is to insult your intelligence!! I truly wonder if the narrator really believes it himself, oh well I suppose there's a book to sell!

  Pope Condemns Weapons Industry and Those Who Make Weapons

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  the (almost) pacificism of the jws was one of the things that attracted me to the witnesses when young.

  i wondered today, when i read this headline:.

  pope francis suggests those in weapons industry can't call themselves christianat rally of young people in turin, francis issues his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry, criticising investors as well as workerspeople who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves christian, pope francis said on sunday.link: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/22/pope-francis-says-those-in-weapons-industry-cant-call-themselves-christian.
