The NEW "Bible Teach" book

by Oubliette in

the new "bible teach" book is out!

thetruthbr has posted links for this and several other of the new publications.

as an educator, i am very interested in where the society is heading with their alleged "bible education" program.

It all makes sense to me now!!! I found myself completely switching off at meetings for a good 3 years before encountering TTATT. I couldn't put my finger on why I didn't feel the same zeal for going out in service and why I couldn't be arsed to answer at meetings for months at a time.

I would always get over excited when coming home from meetings (yes i was a grown man at this stage) and it used to drive my wife crazy, but there simply hasn't been any mental stimulation there for a loooong time now.

The only people being enticed into the cult locally have been, let's say, the more cognitively challenged individuals in the territory... doesn't say much for their 'teaching program'.

NWT is soooo inaccurate....

by iwasblind in

hi this is for the lurkers.. please start reading from another translation and use tools like www.biblehub.com to verify the differences you find.. biblehub has an interlinear and a strongs concordance and heaps of dictionaries and commentaries.. you don't have to be a translator but you can clearly see how the watchtower bible and tract society has changed the bible to devalue jesus, to support their idea of a paradise earth hope for christians and many other false doctrines.. i could never understand why the jw's where attacked when they chose to translate the bible - now i know.. seriously people, there are a lot smarter people than me on this forum and heaps of research.

.

don't be afraid of the truth!.

by NoIdeaWhatToBelieve in

hey all,.

have you seen the new video on http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/living-bible-principles/adult-survivor-child-abuse-video/ ?.

isn't this too much of a coincidence?

freddo - noticed that myself a couple days ago. Funny how they miss out any potentially negative news.

My sister is being harassed by the elders

by opusdei1972 in

sometime ago i wrote here in this forum about the case of my sister, who decided to stop attending the meetings because she realised that the watchtower society is an evil organization.

this happened more than one year ago.

i am not living in the same country of my sister, so i learn about her case when she calls me or when she write me through whatsapp.

lurkernomore

Yes go to the police, this is harassment! End of. Hope she gets sorted soon

i've noticed increasing amounts of jw's are coming off fb and deactivating completely.

all with the same reason which they post about at lenght which is that they wwant to focus more on their spiritual life and not have the distraction of fb.. have i missed something or is this just a coincidence?.

Locally ive noticed most have switched to other platforms. Instagram seems the most popular choice.

Where Is The Jehovah's Witness Zeal?

by minimus in

jw
friends

it seems to me that the religion is nearly dead.

or dying.

very little pulse exists for the organization.

We live in a fairly rural part of the UK and to be honest since our fade I rarely see any door knocking just the same ones sitting around watching people ignore their trolleys.

JW's feel they're giving a huge witness when out in service but ive since come to realise how little thought people must give them (unless it's to make sure not to answer the door)

What was your eye opening moment?

by WasOnceBlind in

if you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.

i think for me it was the time i saw my dad shun his brother who he had not seen in decades just because he was a da'ed jw.

i thought to my self "no way jesus would do that.

The UN NGO business opened the floodgates for me. I came across the NGO status purely by chance whilst reading comments on a cringy JW meme that a Facebook friend had posted. This was just over a year ago. Within a week or two i'd come across the wonderful resource that is JWN and watched dozens of videos by Cedars, Marc & Cora aswell as others and did endless research using the CD-ROMS to back up what I had read.

I finally read COC after finding a download and by August of last year my Wife and I decided to just stop everything JW.
