What Jehovah can't do...

by C0ntr013r in

during the rc today i heard this(i am paraphrasing and translating):.

"jehovah has created the physical universe for us.

he is a spirit and he can't enjoy physical things so he created it for us alone.

When I was an active witness I always liked the text that says "God cannot lie". Now I know TTATT to me this text is just another proof that God/Jehovah/creator or whatever you want to call the man in the sky is not with Jehovah's Witnesses because it is an organization where the head lies, cheats, protects pedophiles, delivers weapons, etc.

All these things, I am sure, are things that the "God that cannot lie" would have nothing to do with.

How many JW Families do you know of who hate each other and shun each other? "Religion of Hatred" 1.a

by The1975Blues in

when you were attending the kingdom halls did you see feuds and hate filled wars against members working on the new personality?

how strong were the elders in keeping their halls filled with love not hatred, jesus said everyone would be filled with love, there was no room for hatred in jesus christ's view of how christians ought to act!

when you see children shunning parents, parents shunning children, aunts, uncles, grandma and grandpas displaying qualities jesus said were "instant tickets to hell" why do the jws keep attending the meetings if their filled with hate?

Stan.

It is just the opinion of men, not a religion...

by punkofnice in

an elder in my congo gave a talk.

he was always interesting to listen to and one of the nice guys.

(the nice elders are always targets of the bully elders, no?).

Punk

they messed my mind up all my life.

I know how you feel, they messed mine up for nearly 30 years.

In the congregation I was in our CoBE would insist that all sisters wear skirts/dresses with a hem below the knee. Then we got a new CO and his wife always wore skirts/dresses where the hem was always above the knee, and she had nice legs.

Single Sisters

by BashfulAshG in

am i the only one who has single, desperate sisters in the congregation?

they tend to be holier-than-thou, frumpty, but in private talk about getting married.

but they don't understand why no brother will look at them.

Driving Force

I knew a single sister in my congregation (she is now in her late thirties), she was basically held down all her life, no boyfriends, no experimenting, no nothing. She started a relationship with someone at the office, a non witness. Well you guessed it JC, disfellowshipped. She has been living with him for over a year now.

She is now on my list of one of the happiest people on earth.

Pope Condemns Weapons Industry and Those Who Make Weapons

by fulltimestudent in

the (almost) pacificism of the jws was one of the things that attracted me to the witnesses when young.

i wondered today, when i read this headline:.

pope francis suggests those in weapons industry can't call themselves christianat rally of young people in turin, francis issues his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry, criticising investors as well as workerspeople who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves christian, pope francis said on sunday.link: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/22/pope-francis-says-those-in-weapons-industry-cant-call-themselves-christian.

I was in the military myself until I studied with JWs, then I left. Their position on neutrality attracted me and was one of the reasons I became a JW. But oh how disappointed I was and disgusted when I found out about the UN NGO association, and I have read reports that the Watchtower own a significant amount of shares in a company manufacturing the drive for a drone used in warfare.

The JW doctrine led me to believe the Catholics are misguided and under the influence of Satan, how misleading this was. Certainly I am now convinced the Catholic religion is more Christian than JWs. Consider shunning, blood issue, deliberate misleading of its members, lying to its members, etc,; the list is considerable.
