i'm not fond of any religious fanatic.
islamic fundies can be downright crazy.
mormonism seems silly to me.
They have the truth and belong to Jerhover's only approved religious organization.
They are being led to waters of righteousness by the 7 member faithful and discreet slave whom Jesus appointed in uh, uh, 1919.
They obey God's commandments given to Moses and follow the Governing Body's interpretation of it faithfully.
How can any of them be bad?
this is my first time posting here, although i have been a visitor to it for around a year.
after doing a simple google search under "jehovah'switnesses" over a year ago, i found ttat.
i was deeply unhappy with the congregation and decided to educate myself, and boy what an education i have gotten so far.
And that's just the way it is.
The organisation has kicked Jesus in the head and replaced Him with the 'faithful and discreet slave' AKA the 7 popes on the Governing Body.
Those false prophets are deceiving 7 million people and will surely burn in hell forever for their blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
I say good riddance to them and all they represent.
jws claim that even such a small thing as proclaiming 1986 as the international year for peace was foretold in the bible.
this raises the question: why was such a great thing as internet (the influence of which could not even be compared with anything in the history at all) not foretold in the bible?
with internet and tv the world has become literally a global village!.
I believe you nailed it, James Brown.
More people than ever before are finding out the truth about an evil cult from the comfort of their homes within minutes of being contacted by Jehovah's Witnesses.
so my husband and i are on vacation.
we are in another country visiting his non-jw family.
we lived here for many years, and our closest jw friends are all here, albeit a 4 hr.
Compare your childrens' lives to what you had.
It will give a preview of what you can have too because it is not too late for you and your husband to explore new things.
i'm new to this website and i thought i'd create a profile.
i was disfellowshipped in july of 2013 in another city.
i since moved and starting going to meeting about 6 months ago in my new city.
Good luck on your journey.
Do you believe that Jehovah's Witnesses are the only true religious group on earth and that they alone have God's approval?
as i have read before, one of the members of this forum noted that the writer of the website anointedjw is a master of pomposity.
i am not against them, as i am with jw.org (the watchtower society), but i see that they are trying to imitate the language of the old testament prophets.
for instance, this is what they have recently written:.
It sounds like the demunz have infiltrated it.
hi, i am also a practicing jehovah's witness and very proud of it,to say the very-very least..!
i am a middle-aged man with many decades of being a witness of jehovah god in england.. this important letter is personally to you, just as many of the bible's 88 letters are to be taken personal by you the reader.
i am writing to you to urge you to take stock of your life, think what your future holds for you.
Sparks,
Your demon Watchtower god is no match for my Lord and savior, Jesus.
Have a nice life.
balance is the natural state of your body and is maintained by moderation in your habits such as sleep, work, eating, entertainment and thinking.
(mathew7:12; 5:13-16; proverbs 25:16, 27; 1 cor 6:12; 8:9; philippians 4:5) your body sends signs of distress when you cross the limit.. this is true even in subtler areas too.
contrary to the popular notion that happiness or peace come from accumulating things, body teaches it comes from renunciation.
Asinine
it seems to me like certain people actually benefit from joining the religion.
primarily i'm thinking of ones with drug problems who are only able to quit because they are working towards baptism.
another example would be those who are always getting in fights or who have a big ego, and who learn to be pacifistic and humble as a witness.
My ex deserves to be a Jehovah's Witness.
Her attitude towards others fits right in with pioneers, elders and other mature ones.
on tuesday i was dragged out on service with my mom since shes a permanent pioneer, and once we arrived at the hall i realized there were no brothers, but an abundance of sisters.
i conducted the service meeting with ease, since my dad gave me a formation on how to do it.. then on thursday at my meeting nearly half of the congregation surrounded me and gave me hugs and kisses.
i know about love bombing, its happened to me before, but this was the most insane amount of it ever since i had a demonstration at the district convention.
All of the above and then some.
You will feel liike crap unless you find some new friends who aren't of the conditional type.
Get out and make new friends BEFORE you make your exit and things will go a lot smoother.
Within a year of making new friendships with 'worldy people' you will wonder why Jehovah's Witnesses say, "The friends" when they actually have none.
