  What made us different?

  by Lo-ru-hamah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am wondering, what made all of us different?

  to explain.

  obviously most all of us here were at one time brainwashed and endoctrinated with the rest of the rank and file of jw's.

  I was born in and just hated it from day one. I'm not really sure why, I know the restrictions (sports, holidays, etc.) were part of it, feeling like a freak was another part of it, and even as a kid just somehow not buying it, the stuff just never rang true for me ever.

  Born under a bad sign I guess.

  Tremendous changes in a short time.....

  i mean if you think about it - and i might be off on the time a little - in the past 6 months we have heard of the following;elimination of the hard cover biblereducing of awake to monthly additionsdownsizing at bethel worldwideelimination of bethel elders.

  there may be others that i forgot about.

  but these are all very significant, and they are all happening at once, in a relative sense.those of us in the apostate circles may not realize just how the total impact might be on the flock.

  I always feel like a reverse dub with this stuff, always watching for signs of the end, the end of the WBTS that is.

  From what I can see of my family, the changes tend to disturb them, which in turn makes them sort of hunker down and become even more closed off. The disturbing stuff keeps piling up and their response is to just basically force themselves to not think about it at all, just tune it out and I can almost hear them chanting under their breath, "just hold on, just hold on, just a little longer".

  Mankind's sufferings who's to blame?

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is and always was a lot of suffering in the world since the beginning of history, so who is to blame?

  is it a god that doesn't care or a mankind that refuses to be reconciled with god and through that find salvation?

  there is no such thing as suffering. there are the neurological reactions of your body and brain to discomfort,

  Tetra, you sound like my freaking dentist, oh, that's not pain, that's just pressure, lol. Yeah, okay, we'll call your drilling into my head pressure if you want but man it still freaking hurts.

  thought today that i would try to get some questions answered.

  i wanted to see if he could answer my concerns and was looking forward to a nice discussion or some peace regarding some things that are driving me crazy.. so, i saw this older 'wise' looking gentleman on the street holding up some mags.

  so, i approached him.

  I think I see Mick and Keith singing Hey you, get off of my cloud and being generally rowdy down at the dodgey end.

  Welcome to the Forum, I think you'll be pleasantly (or unpleasantly as it maybe) surprised at how many folks here share your story. For me it was good to realize I wasn't alone in my journy. In any case, welcome.

  Is The watchtower Dishonest When It comes to the Trinity?

  by RevFrank in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in 1989 the watchtower society published a 32-page booklet entitled "should you believe in the trinity?

  " the aim of this publication was to discredit the christian doctrine of the triune nature of god.

  the method that the society used to accomplish this goal was to quote from a plethora of resources, both secular and religious, such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, books and historical literature written by individual authors.

  In response to the question posed in the subject line, I would pose a counter question, When is the Watchtower ever honest? I don't think there is one topic, one subject, one article of faith where their approach to it is honest and forthright, its always twist, misquote, and misrepresent. The trinity, blood, communion, you name it, the Watchtower arrives at their conclusion through dishonesty and contortionist thinking.
