  A stupid, pointless story of "humility" on JWTalk

  https://jwtalk.net/topic/60143-sighjust-another-lesson-in-humility-for-tim.

  if you can stomach reading this brother's experience via this link, please let me know your views.

  for one thing, i'm absolutely dumbfounded that this website jwtalk even exists considering all the warnings the governing body have given the org on not creating their own websites.

  JWs and the Lord's Prayer

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how often do you hear the lord's prayer at the meetings or in jw homes?.

  i don't know if they revised their stance with the new leaders in america, but i don't recall it having much weight when i were a wee'un.. i think the nwt said, 'pray then, this way....'.

  so, jesus gave instructions on how to pray, as in actual words to say.......so the jws don't?

  exJW Psychology 102--How to Ask a Question When Questions Aren't Allowed

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  now that enough time has passed and i've moved away, i think i'm overdue to share some of the stories from my fade.

  i've mentioned some of this before, but i think it deserves its own thread.. we all would like to be able to freely ask questions about jw beliefs and get our family and friends to really think about certain questions.

  however, when you're a baptized jw, you really can't ask any good questions or you'll get the "apostate" label slapped on you!

  Don't you just love LITERATURE truths?

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as jw's we swallowed such concoctions for years - without a single scripture provided as proof!.

  w71 12/15 p. 759 - "apparently, the apostle peter was the chairman of the governing body on the festival day of pentecost of 33 c.e., and the disciple james, the half brother of jesus christ, was the chairman at a later date, according to the account in acts of apostles.

  from this, and from what historical evidence there is available, the chairmanship of the governing body rotated.".

  Babylonian Job

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  those new to ancient near east paleography may find it interesting that all cultures have struggled with the seeming injustice of suffering.

  the story of job (persecuted/attacked) is one of a number of surviving poetic and prose tales with the theme of the innocent suffering despite entreaties to their gods.

  this one often called "poem of the righteous sufferer" is sometimes referred to as the babylonian job.
