  Atheists know more about the bible!

  by Comatose in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a newly minted atheist, she uses her youversion bible app to try to persuade people away from the christianity she grew up in.. .

  i know of a lot of atheists who have come to their nonbelief by actually reading the bible rather than just the fluffy stories they choose to tell you about in church, she said.

  reading the full story with all its contradictions and violence and sexism, it should make you think, is this really what i believe in?

  profile of the sociopath .

  this website summarizes some of the common features of descriptions of the behavior of sociopaths.. glibness and superficial charmmanipulative and conning .

  they never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible.

  Blood transfusion and eating pork

  by Sittingstraight1212 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just trying to gather info as a reasoning point to donate blood or get a transfusion.

  why can witnesses have some blood parts, if they stuck to the belief of what the scrip says, never said anything about parts!??

  and why can they eat pork, of it's health concern was that the pig is dirty.

  want to memorize GB names?

  by losingit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  saw this on fb... a little trick to remember their names.... "i herd jackson splane to morris, never lett sanderson pierce losch".

  apparently jws now feel that they must memorize their names, as they are the "8 most distinguished men on earth" (a real fb comment).

  followers of men, not followers of god..

  I got an e-mail from an old friend who read my book

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he told me he had left a review on amazon because he had just read my book.. now this you have to know about allan, he is a very precise person.. in his e-mail he said he was counting off "one star's worth" of approval because i had underlined where i should have italicized.. that gave me a good chuckle.

  he is an engineer, after all.. .

  4.0 out of 5 stars watch out, watch tower, november 1, 2013by a. ostling (phoenix, arizona) - see all my reviews this review is from: i wept by the rivers of babylon: a prisoner of conscience in a time of war (paperback) after reading this book you will hope that a jehovah's witness soon comes to your door.

  What % of householders would have a clue about the "life saving " message JW`s have brought to their doors these past 100 years.

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i`m an optimist and i would say zilch .

  i would bet you a million dollars ( if i had a million dollars ) that if you did a survey in the street that you live , asking the householders what is the life saving message jehovahs witnesses bring to your door on a regular basis , they would not have a clue.. and they have been preaching this message for over 100 years .

  how inefective can they be .. the probable answers you would get are : they dont take blood transfusions.

  The murmuring phase is the beginning of an ex-JWs progression towards fading.

  by Stand for Pure Worship in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i suppose part of the fascination i have with this board is, the exotic nature of those making up the member population.

  i say exotic because, as you yourselves will agree with, folks such as yourselves don't hang around the christian congregation for long upon making the decision that truth is not for you.

  (rom 1:25) this "fading" thing spoken of here likely plays a role into why christians such as me find the average ex-jw to be a bit fascinating.

  Categories of Former Jehovah's Witnesses

  by neverendingjourney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was never disfellowshipped, but it's been about 10 years since i was an active jw.

  i've made an occasional meeting or half-day at an assembly here or there, strictly at the behest of family (maybe once a year), but i'm completely disconnected.

  more importantly, mentally i'm 100% free.. we all have a tendency to project our views and beliefs onto others, and tending to believe that other former jws share our views is no different.
