This couple tried to go and get all spiritual, and guess what happens, they find out that thier religion is full of lies when the cults teachings they ponder don't add up.
Yeah... this is what happens when you read the Bible too.
this jc from 1984 features a brother and his wife, who were evidently about to be df'd for apostasy.
but the brother knew his ttatt well.
the elders really couldn't muster any half-way convincing arguments to refute the damning facts on 607 and 1914. even 1975 was touched on.

i have a feeling i am going to have to explain to my jw folks why i have decided to allow my children to participate in holidays at school.
theyll probably be wondering too why i will get together with our non jw family for the holidays.. .
we know jws avoid holidays because of their pagan origins.
NewYork44M... actually, Paganism is still very much in existence today. There are solitary witches as well as covens that exist too.
They are just quietly going about their lives due to past indiscretions by the Christians and other holier-than-thou, judgmental groups who felt the Pagans were heretics/infidels etc.

*Heaven, with hands on hips * Vidiot, I was a rural dweller... and I ain't no hillbilly!
Bruja... you are welcome. I like that picture as well. I think if I was to accept any 'religion' kindness and the divinity in all things makes far more sense to me than the violent, angry, spiteful, male spirit/Sky Daddy of the 3 main faiths.
this is probably all old news to most but i found it interesting.
i was trying to find the website that has all the boes and in my yahoo search these showed up and i checked them out.
there are probably better lines than the ones i picked out but if interested check them out.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/202012206#h=0:0-3:583 "a trustee or executor should be aware that whether the estate is large or small, liberties should not be taken with the assets.
You can put the WT in your will...
Never. Gonna. Happen.EVER!
would it be fair to say many of the posts on jwn are in essence about this?.
if we could better understand what worked for us, would we be better able to help others?.
where do basic human needs ("met" by the cult) end, and where does addiction start?.
I had no cult addiction. But I bear the scars from the self-righteous, mean-spirited behaviour of my parents who were addicts.
Around the age of 10, I started having my doubts about God due to his complete indifference to the suffering of millions of people, particularly during the Ethiopian famine. During my teens, I learned about more adult topics and information about religion and the JWs that continued widening the gap between reality and belief. I could not honestly reconcile what I was being told with what was actually true or proper/integral.
My cure was to never get baptized, to be intellectually honest, constantly educate myself, and develop critical thinking skills. I put my life-plan together which included moving away from home once I graduated high school and go to College so that I could get a good paying job. The job I landed was very busy... so much so that I had no time for any religious BS.
"Disco Edition"... I'm killin' myself here!
so, i watched this recorded broadcast by one of the bigs,i heard this rediculous but yet humourous statement.
something like ''spritually sluggish is the same as wickedness or evel.
lol, get a load of that lol.
You can see how marinating in this crap for years can cause mental illness.
nasa discovery proves the bible scientifically accurate.
the debate.
for decades there has been a long standing debate between science and religion as to the validity of the biblical genesis account of creation.
they say that seinfeld was a tv program about nothing.
in the end, it was all silliness.. this religion is inconsequential in the big scheme of things.
it's stupid.. .
Once my parents became baptized, they became 'do nothing' people because they waited on Jehovah to fix everything. Well, Mom is dead now, and my Dad is fading as the dementia continues to break down his brain. Things didn't get 'fixed'.
And still... Armageddon has not arrived.

The word pagan literally means 'country or rural dweller'.
