  By saying things like magic are bad, do the WTS imply that it exists?

  by DuvanMuvan in

  i was wondering why they're so uptight about magical things (cough cough sparlock cough) and was just remembering some quotes in the publications about demons and stuff i saw on another thread and i seriously think that they believe this stuff is real.. once i asked my mum why previously she said not to watch magicians because they're bad blah blah when it wasn't real, hence the term magic trick.

  she admitted that while most of them are probably innocent, she still thinks some of them (anyone heard of dynamo?

  ) have some demonic power behind them.. i seriously wanna hear some other views on this .

  I feel so sorry for Caleb from the be Jehovah's friend videos. When he grows up he's going to have to explain to all his school mates that "magic is bad because Jehovah hates it because mummy said so" and that probably isn't going to work when he speaks to someone WITHOUT the reasoning skills of a brainwashed 5 year old

  i took these pictures over a month ago.

  i had not realized that they were really pushing their site.

  this was at our farmers market, although they were not officially in the market area but off the side on the sidewalk.. .

  I reckon it's because the online library doesn't go back that far so people won't be able to see all the weird stuff they said in the past

  What was the most rebellious thing you did while you were a devout jw?

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking about how humans being imperfect and satan's influence was the root of everything bad that anyone has ever done.

  well i know that apparently everyone is vulnerable which got me thinking about what "bad" things people have done while they were a jw.

  i'll start it off.

  Im currently atheist/agnostic if i were to put a label on it. My mum is the one that brought me into the religion when I was about 7/8 and I was a jw for about 7 years before I started to question some things, not just in the wts but things in the bible too. When I realised the jws didn't have all the answers I tried to leave and only just managed to stop going to meetings a few weeks ago.

  For those who still attend- When was the last time you had a Congregation Picnic or Get together?

  it seems that in my neck of the woods there is no social interaction between jws outisde of fs and the kh.

  the last get together was 3 summers ago.

  other than that there is no bond.

  Forgot to mention the dress code. According to my mum it's "dress as if you're going to meeting". Lol doesn't sound like a very relaxed environment if the women aren't even allowed to turn up in jeans.

  Any active jws, without using the phrase "God must have..." Can you prove that Noah's ark actually happened

  by DuvanMuvan in

  i have a number of problems with the noah's ark story that i could never find the answer to in the bible and so i thought i could ask here:.

  1.how did noah get animals that are indigenous to areas he could not get to (e,g penguins, koalas, kangaroos, moose etc) .

  2.the flood supposedly happened around 4000 years ago but there is evidence of civilisation dating back a lot further.
