  The pinata analogy again shows how ridiculous and inconsistent JW teachings are. Isaac

  The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures in pdf format?

  by IndependantThinker in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've spent the last 2 months listening to talks of former and current jw's, reading, using the wt cd, going through my collection of watchtowers from 1879-1947 (which i do have on .pdf if anyone is interested) and books i've managed to not lose in many moves since 1964.. is there a .pdf of the 1969 the kingdominterlineartranslationofthegreekscriptures anywhere?

  i got one as a gift in 1969 when was a little girl and after going through many boxes of publications i can't find mine.

  i need it to collaberate some things i have heard and unless i can read it for myself i can't take someone else's "saying" that the kit says something.

  "Good" JWs Are Like Terrorists

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they don't care if they die, as long as it's for the cause.

  they will zealously implement their agenda no matter how unreasonable or ignorant it is.

  if "mother" told them to become martyrs, they follow the direction.

  Whats more they view the world as religious fanatics, just like terrorists. They just don't carry guns.

  Those here who disassociated- do you regret it?

  by JimmyPage in

  2. experiences

  does anyone here who disassociated regret it?

  do you wish you had just faded instead?

  did disassociating give you a liberating feeling of power over your life?

  No way, not me. I actually would have just faded. But as an elder who wanted to warn those around me I had no choice but to leave. I am glad that I came down clearly against this religion. There are many who at least know that I wasn't thrown out. I didn't committ wrongdoing. I left because I think for myself. So for me I'm satisfied with my decision. And even if I had faded I would have been shunned anyway. I miss my old friends and hope to get some back one day. But conditional friendships like one finds in the JWs aren't really worth the loss of intellectual freedom.

  Are most JWs really disfellowshipped for sexual reasons?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that's the claim they always make.

  but is that just a cover for the fact that most are now waking up to the b.s?

  or that when people do wake up to the b.s.

  In my eleven years "sexual immorality" was the predominant reason. Sadly most JWs don't see the BS. Those who do try to leave quietly or stay in because of family but have little or no zeal. At least that's what I observed.

  Being that WT had convinced me to believe that we weren't a cult, I didn't pay much attention to this incident. Tonight therefore was very enlightening. I didn't realize that a U.S. Congressman was killed investigating this. If only the government had used this as a springboard to research cults and HCG's....
