  Something that my devout JDUB cousin said...

  by yogosans14 in

  we used to be so close before she got heavily involved in the jw religion.

  she actually got me into it (i actually believed all the nonsense) and i went to meetings with her and everything, we were like brother and sister.

  she lives in texas now in a remote area where their is no cell phone signal or anything with her dad and mom (i think they said they moved their to get closer to jehovah which is weird).

  Have you noticed that the Mormon and JW websites try to appeal as looking "normal" and "mainstream"

  by yogosans14 in

  2. bible

  http://beta.mormon.org.

  for instance look at the mormon website versus jw.org.

  they both look colorful and try to paint themselves as "normal everyday people" and they don't fully explain all there beliefs for obvious reasons.

  Going inside "Christendoms evil churches" after abandoning the BORG

  by yogosans14 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after i was done with the wt and its unbiblical teachings i went to other churches.

  first i went to a roman catholic church after reading many of the early church father writings (which btw all of them affirm the trinity) and as i first went in i thought i was literally going to burst in flames or become posssed by a demon!but as i went in the church had a nice smell to it and i sat down in the back pew and the church was very full.

  the service was beautiful, there was 4 bible readings and a sermon and the priest talked about being a light to the world and living like christ and it was a very uplifting sermon considering i used to think catholics were idol worshipers and never read the bible.

  last time i was at the kingdom hall they were praising themselves about all the growth in members they have been having.

  is this "growth" they are having statistically accurate?or are a lot leaving?

  Jehovah's witness doctrine on "only 144,000 are born again" easily debunked!

  by yogosans14 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  these verses in particular were an eye opener for me.

  of course in the jws i thought only 144,000 are truly born again and are part of the new covenant but the bible says else wise.

  i know most here will disagree with me but try to have a open mind here :).

  Why do I suddenly want to start reading JW literature and going to Kingdom Halls?

  by yogosans14 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is good calling me back or am i just letting my emotions get the best of me?also i really want to be closer to my jw family.

  btw i was never baptized and i consider myself a born again christian i go to a baptist church and wath televangelist and i have expirenced gods presence like never before but sometimes i get fearful and think "what if jws are right and i'm wrong" than i'm screwed!but if there wrong and i'm right it doesn't look to good for them.. i would prefer if nobody posted "god isn't real" type comments.

  i truly believe he is real but i respect why some are atheists..

  I'm tired of the org misquoting scholars to support there heretical NWT

  by yogosans14 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  day after day jws are constantly fighting with me over the internet that the nwt is the most accurate translation and then they prove it by quoting scholars from the watchtower magazines.

  they tell me i'm biased and there rendering of john 1:1 as "a god" is approved by scholars but i have researched there so called "supporters" and i have found they have tooken what they said out of context to twist the scriptures to there liking.. .

  dr. julius r. mantey (who is even recognized by the watchtower as a greek scholar since they quote his book on page 1158 of their kingdom interlinear translation): calls the watchtower translation of john 1:1 "a grossly misleading translation.
