  Putting the Mental back in Fundie... get ready to Rapture!

  by Abaddon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  fundamentalism make my blood run cold... some one posted a link to this site on the discussion about that nasty little snuff-religiography book series, and i had a root around.. this is pretty damn mad, and shows how despite their profession to be fundamental followers of a literalistic bible tradition, they are as prepared to interpolate beliefs with no foundation;.

  http://www.raptureready.com/rr-donuts.htmlthe granddaddy of heaven-related questions has to be: "will my pet go with me in the rapture?

  " usually, i tell people not to worry about their furry friends.

  Bowen Disfellowshipping/Daramsala Salt Works

  by Francois in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  bill bowen's disfellowshipping is very likely to have the same effect as the attack, by british and conscripted indian forces, on gandhi's followers who attempted to close the daramsala salt works.

  this event marked the end of the british raj in india - even though the brits stayed in nominal power a couple more years.

  the unprincipled and immoral attack upon unarmed demonstrators showed the world the utter lack of ethics and morals of the the british lording it over someone else in their own home.. likewise, the jw attacks, disfellowshipping of people who attempt to protect the most defenseless, the most helpless, the most innocent members of our society, is a carbon-copy of the arrogance of the british raj in india - and at the salt works that fateful day.. these disfellowshippings will demonstrate to the world the complete moral degeneracy of the watchtower bible and tract society.

  Is anyone on the forum from Illinois?

  by Leander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this site has been a source of tremendous encouragement for me.

  i've been able to truly learn quite a bit since i've started coming here.

  i've also found the courage that i need which will help me walk away from the jw organization in the very near future.

  Does This Make Me A Racist?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  todays newspapers are full of the le pen story.

  much concern is being voiced that right-wing organisations will ride on this story to make their own agendas more widely known, ie, send all the immigrants back home, britain for the british, sod off everyone else!.

  now i personally love different cultures.

  God is Jesus

  by evangelist in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am looking for more scriptures that can prove to a jehovah witness that god is jesus, and jesus is god.i found only one verse so far in 1jo:5:20: and we know that the son of god is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his son jesus christ.

  this is the true god, and eternal life.. if you know more scriptures that say directly that god is jesus please tell me the verses the jhw will see plainly that jesus is no way an angel, and he is jehovah god almighty.. my friend said if i can prove by the bible only that jesus is god he will leave the jhw society, and he will know that they are teaching lies and they would be to him a dogma religious sect.

  my friend gave me a booklet called should you believe in the trinity?, and is jesus christ the almighty god.

  Unbelieving Partners

  by Sirona in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has occurred to me that living as an unbelieving partner to a jw takes its toll on you mentally.

  do you start to be influenced by their way of thinking?.

  do you begin to see religion in "black and white" terms, even though you claim you are not a jw?.
