If the WT dumped 1914 tommorow ...?
by faithfulslavedriver in

2. bible
this is my first post here.

i've been a lurker for awhile but had no particular desire to join until the other day.. anyways, do you think that if wt decided to face the fact that 607-1914 is an indefensible pile of crap that has been artificially kept steaming for way too long, would it really kick off a mass exodus or anything?

in the short term the fds/gb might lose some authority, but they are hemorrhaging people anyways keeping it around (607 started me on the road to this place).. if wt stopped talking about 1914 for awhile then later killed it, blaming it on "further research" or something, and acknowledged some uncertainty in 607/587, i really doubt that very many of the r&f would think much about it.

throwing this out to the board for input.

my father will be giving his first public talk shortly.

i was shocked by the audacity to be asked to come to his public talk, being told i don't have to believe or come back but can simply come to show my support for him.

You would return to Jehovah's Witnesses if...

someone else suggested this so i just figured, ok let's do it.. 1. all present jws died and i became the sole leader of the entire religion.

2. then i would dissolve the religion and burn every last memory of it ever existing.

3. all books would be burned, all buildings destroyed.

Give Some Logical Points To Prove That JWs Do Not Have The Truth

the one thing that got to me was that this religion is illogical.

their "logic" is ridiculous, especially when it comes to their blood doctrine.

downright weird!.

State your "epiphany moment " for leaving the WT

i have found some powerful reinforcements when people have stated their " epiphany moment "... please share some.. my turning pointing began when i was badly hurt by a person i had always viewed as a literal brother.

i realized that if his.

love was conditional.... if it was the case with him , then how about those i had less affection for and trust in ?.

JW's not a cult
by Lunatic Faith in
1. jw
2. experiences
okay, before you fly off the handle--i wrote a blog on how my research proves jw's are a cult (no, i haven't read the cult book yet).

somebody linked their own findings onto my site saying the opposite.

their evidence is erroneous and as i don't have time to point this out i thought i would let you all do it for me.. www.epages.wordpress.com.

Jehovah God - This is the last time we talk, because I don't believe in you anymore
by dissed in

just finished watching a 'worlds apart' a danish movie portraying a young jw girl leaving the wt and dealing with the shunning of her family.

this was one of the last thoughts in the movie.

her final prayer to jehovah after being treated harshly by her family and elders.. "jehovah god, this is the last time we talk, because....i don't believe in you anymore".
