  Why Jehovah Witnesses teach a more biblical faith

  by tralon in

  2. beliefs

  surprizeingly, i am not a jw but an observer and in partial agreement with the jehovah witnesses on many issues.

  i have been to many churches in my 30 years and have studied many church beliefs, church history and the bible as well.

  so why do i believe the jehovah witnesses are the one true faith of jehovah god?.

  Where is God when it hurts?

  i recently read a riveting, but heartrending story in this forum by "tj".

  although the story at many points tears at your heart, tj's post is an exceptionally well-written story of his life growing up as a witness.

  if you have not read it yet, i would encourage you to do so.

  My story: "Pop!" goes the Little Circuit Breaker

  i guess it's about time i write my story.

  i've put this off for a long time... primarily becuase, while i thought my story was bad, i've read so many worse and heart-rending stories here.

  i think, though, there is some therapeutic value in 'letting it all out' with others who know what 'it' was like.

  The difficulty of recovering from JW teachings

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's difficult to free yourself from years of cult influence.

  i'm concerned that i may still be suffering from hidden assumptions that i haven't considered.

  i'll have to examine my thinking for the rest of my life, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.. it would be easier if we could reject everything we were taught, but that's not really possible.

  A fair and reasonable question for Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Gregor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  your organization has always been intently focused on "witnessing" and this includes going right up to strangers homes, knocking on their door attempting to engage them in a discussion of their beliefs.

  you come prepared to point out the error of whatever faith they hold.

  doctrines such as immortality of the soul, the trinity and eternal torment in hell you declare as false teachings and can back up your assertions with scriptures and skilled argument.

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses have to start over?

  by DT in

  1. jw

  "and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

  " -matthew 24:14 what is the good news?

  i used to think that it was that jesus became king in 1914 and that he would destroy this system before the generation that saw 1914 passed away.
