  The Truth stands on its own- WTBS or NO WTBS!

  by theMadJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  yes, the wtbs has done much deserving ridicule- yet does far more deserving credit and respect.. but this is not about them, but the truth about god and christ they have made known, by showing it to all in the scriptures.

  because of this work, most know that god(s) is not the ultimate sadist bbqing billions in a mythical 'hellfire' anymore, etc!.

  this topic is at the request of little bird- is it possible to have a peaceful discussion here- without all the self-righteous psychobabble from so many?.

  in direct contradiction to the testimony of some of our friends and family, billy graham weighs in.

  billy graham says christians don't actually hear the voice of god.

  .. the question should have put billy in a dilemma.

  Satan- Perfect Scapegoat for Witnesses Ignoring Real Causes of Situations

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in a recent thread i started on music i couldn't help noticing how many had to throw their alleged " worldly music " out because parents, or elders told them their music brought them " under the influence of demons ", or listening to music was how " the demons got inside us ".

  this superstitious belief that " satan " is to blame for each witnesses demise is really a passing of the buck of responsibility so it sidesteps real issues involved.. for example : check these familiar expressions out we all heard while we were jehovah's witnesses .. .

  1. if a person was stumbled and said, " i don't want to go to meetings anymore.

  Its funny you bumped this up, flipper. Just the other day I got sick of hearing my soon to be ex, blaming Satan for all our problems, so I piped up and said. " You people give Satan more attention then actual Satan worshippers do!"

  Jws (some of them) act as if Satan is omnipresent or something, they just don't want to take personal responsibility for anything.

  Do JW's (and uppity-christians in general) walk around with a false sense of accomplishment?

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this because so many times when i was growing up, i was told that a certain sister or brother wasnt spirtually enough because of this or that.

  i wanted to ask the person who said this: what makes you so spiritual, especially since you do the same thing that the so called unspirtually person does.

  except you do it behind closed doors..

  I do think they act with a false sense of accomplishment because they are , as some other groups are too, are what is called "works" based. They think if they perform X, Y, Z then they are somehow in better standing with God than a person who does not follow the rules set out by their group. Works based groups give people the feeling of superiority above others, hence, you get the uppity attitudes.

  and i could never understand why, if the wt isnt inspired, would they claim to be "God's channel of communication and insist that we treat the wt articles as if they are inzpired.

  I only wished I had caught on sooner. Welcome!
