  Penetrating the Deepest Level- "Jehovah" is God

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  having been there, most of us can see that the idea that "jehovah" is god, and a group that uses the name and even carries the name as a badge of honor (jehovah's witnesses) have a very deep level of belief in the religion and that virtually anything that tries to upset the belief causes great cognitive dissonance.

  to even suggest that witnesses of [the named god] are wrong is just so heavy on their dissonance.

  to suggest that a group of people that carries the name of their god are misleading is like suggesting that everything they know is wrong, gravity doesn't exist, up is down, the sun exploded.

  Confessed my Doubts to my Wife

  2. experiences

  well - i today i had the opportunity to tell my wife i no longer believe in the things that i have spent my life immersed in and that i didn't want my life run by 9 geriatrics in brooklyn.. her reaction was understandable her first questions was "what have you been reading"?.

  i didn't mention this site but told her i was shocked by something i heard regarding the wts's ngo status with the un, dissapointed by the new light on the generation and disturbed by the flip flopping on blood fractions.

  i explained how these things were at best hypocritical and at worst have meant some people have lost their lives unnecessarily because of the societies previous position.

  I think I made "The List"

  by RR in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so jehovah's witnesses came to our door, this is about the fifth time, i always miss them, but they talk to my wife, this time i was home due to the holiday season, the man was an elder, he came with a newbie, thought he would show her "how's its done"), the young women sat there with mouth wide open, as she watched me beat up her elder with his own bible.

  well after discussing the scriptures for about 2 hours, (subjects included: salvation, ransom, permission of evil, god's organization), she looked at me and said "amazing, i've never heard it explained quite that way before.".

  the elder asked me what religious affiliations i had, i told him, "i am with the associated bible students.

  Witness fear of demons why?

  by donny in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  during my ten year sojourn through the watchtower, i was always amazed at the witnesses fear and fascination with demons.

  occasionally at gatherings, they would exchange "demon" stories, which were just a jw way of telling ghost stories, and you would usually hear a few "uhhs" and "oh my's" as the story was told.

  although i had heard folks of other denominations mention demons, it was never with the "shock and awe" the witnesses put into it.

  after losing the wimbledon championship to her sister venus, serena williams was being interviewed on the court yesterday, and here is part of what she said: "i thank my god jehovah for being out here".. okay, so according to her words, jehovah blessed her by allowing her to be there to participate in a competitive sports championship match.

  and not just any match.

  wimbledon!

  profanity

  by janitorforlife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my disfellowshipped dad told me leaving "the truth" had not been good for me as i used too much profanity and liked to drink.

  when i first became "free" i guess i went overboard with profanity and enjoyed the freedom to go to bars if i wanted.

  they were novelties.
