  Which do YOU do.....play by the Witnesses Rules....or by YOUR own Rules?

  by gumby in

  2. beliefs

  some of us here remember threads about how some here have decided not to play by dub rules in the area of shunning.

  for instance.....they say "since the borg is a bogus religion and since it's shunning policies are not biblically nor morally based in most cases, they fell they should freely speak to other jehovahs witnesses whenever they wish even though they know the witnesses are to shun them when approched or contacted by them.

  they feel they do not need to play by dub standards when around a dub any longer and one reason is.....they do not want the dub to feel that you think they are right and you are wrong by playing the part of a shunned person.

  Actually, there is all of about 2 people that I would even want to talk to that are still witnesses, and they will still talk to me when I see them.

  mdb,

  Thus the visa-versa.

  What is important is that one is comfortable with ones descision that one makes. If you want to believe the bible, fine, anymore I just think that it is Jewish mythology. If you want to kill someone, know that there will be consequences. I myself am personally comfortable with the Nietzsche overman(superman) idea, just be the best person that you can be. There is nothing that I will have to answer for after I die unless life was really all about how much I prayed, went to church and read the bible.

  You should decide what is truth for you. What works for me might not work for you and visa-versa.

  Comments that made feel pity at last Sundays WT study

  by drew sagan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i believe it was paragraph 17, the one that spoke about the faithful slave and how there are those who wish to be "independent" and that this is wrong.

  two comments came, both from elders.

  elder 1: so what the paragraph is telling us is that instead of developing an independent spirit we actually want to be developing a spirit of dependece upon god's organization and the spiritual food they provide.

  When going down the list of cult characteristics, I thought that one of the ones where the JW's get a pass was on the one about putting all their faith in a man. And while its not a single man they look to, comments like that confirm what they are.

  Do you miss the sense of Superiority?

  2. friends

  well i'm slowly wrapping up my stay in jw land, but as i move further and further into the year, i've noticed that my views of the world are slowly changing.

  no more am i just a watcher who feels completely aloof of the world's struggles and injustices.

  i dont look at activists, philantropers and humanitarians and silently laugh to myself because i know that whatever they are doing is a waste of time (because the end is so close).. i was listening to that song by the flaming lips called "do you realize?

  Do JWs Consider You To Be An "Apostate"?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  we all know that our simply being here is considered an act of apostasy by witnesses.

  whether they know you frequent such boards or not, are you considered an "apostate" by the witnesses?

  I wish that they would offer some scriptural backing to such a controversial topic though.

  I bought a 1971 Porsche 911T back when I was in(bought it in 1992) and I was rather surprised that I didn't even get a raised eyebrow.
