by bite me in

okay the whole thing with 1914 still bugs the poop out of me.

still trying to figure how one can still truly fall for the teachings.

what do they teach about it today anyway?

Statistical evidence against WTS fulfillment of Mat24:14. Simple argument.

by Awakened at Gilead in

jehovahs witnesses are proud to point out that they are fulfilling the prophecy at matthew 24:14. jws are quick to point out that part of the purpose of the preaching work is so that jehovah can take note of how people respond to the witnessing, and thus can decide if they are worthy of survival or not.

last year, jws spent 1.4 billion hours in their preaching work.

so if we take: 6.6 billion people.

There are other Christians witnessing about Christ and the end etc, other than J.W.'s

Hell Does Not Exist

by megs in

according to spong, not only does hell not exist, but neither does the divinity of christ, a theistic god, miracles, the redemptive property of jesus' death on the cross, his resurrection, his ascension, and many other things besides.

If you believe the Bible is the word of God: God is a Christian. NO?????? I mean if Christ was with him all the time, right?

* Your thoughts on Apostate Literature *

by FlyingHighNow in

when they'd warn us at every circuit assembly not to read apostate literature, remember how they'd tell us if we received it in the mail, to throw it away immediately?

what thoughts went through your mind?.

mine were: "i don't think i can throw it away.

Sasha

I have personally given to some "sisters" at one time literature from the Worldwide Church of God (Tomorrows world) and they have read it and said it was rubbish. I myself, think they are more on tract then the J.W's!

You are not allowed to read it because it may sway you're mind from the're doctrine....and they would not want that,now do they.

Yet Paul says to "Prove all things"

by Frequent_Fader_Miles in

i almost died reading this list from the private jw group on facebook.

usually the posts there are quite nauseating, but this topic was priceless.

You might be a rich witness: if you buy you're clothes from the Talbots catolog!

Consequences of being a JW

by Regretful_J in

i've been thinking about what its like to be born and raised as a jw and the mistakes that parents make as an almost direct result of this cult.

for one thing, the children are not allowed to think freely, and if they say or do one little thing their parents disapprove of, they are chastised and basically bullied into abandoning that thought or action.

another thing is that no matter what you do, and no matter how good your reputation is among friends, teachers, administrators, etc if you don't want to go to meetings, and don't believe in this faith, they do what they can to make you feel lower then dirt for this and will often resort to verbal abuse, and sometimes violence to force you to believe in them and conform.

Sasha

and some more would be all those "best friends" drop you like a bag of dirt, when you don't comply!!!!!
