  Questions for those that believe in Electricity

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you can't see electricity or hear it or feel it.

  well, there are sparks and lightning bolts and heating elements and the light and heat of filaments.

  and somehow, it lights up neon in a tube.

  Seeking support during confusing and stressful 'cognitive dissonance'

  by LHS123 in

  sorry for the long post but i need help.

  ive been a jw for 20 years - still active and attending meetings, baptised at 18, i have recently become very dissillusioned.

  a few reasons: ill treatment of my kids by a prominent 'assembly speaker' elder, then my son left the truth at 15 (not baptised) and was 'dropped' instantly, despite this community having been his whole life for 15 years.

  It's a process and it takes time. The only real advice is to do the research required to make sure.

  Some leave the JWs and live for decades still believing it all and feeling guilty and worthless as a result, if they had done the research and found out it's all lies they could at least have enjoyed their time a whole lot more.

  To cut to the chase here, it is a cult. As hard as that word is to hear, there is no doubt about it once you do the research honestly. Once you realise you have been duped for your whole life it will have emotional consequences that can take years to get past, but boy the freedom is awesome and so worth the effort to obtain!

  Take it slow and double check. Avoid speaking to others about what you find as there are obvious consequences for doing so without care.

  You should certainly postpone / avoid your daughter getting baptised before 18 (if at all). You know the possible ramifications for young teens getting baptised then getting into difficulty, so you have a right to say no until she is 18. Hopefully by then she will not want to at all.

  Yes you need to read read read. Take your time, it is worth it.

  A basic suggested reading list for exiting:

  Combating Cult Mind Control - Steven Hassan

  Crisis of Conscience - Ray Franz

  The Bible Unearthed - Israel Finklestein

  Thank you for redirecting me to the right organization!

  thank you, jw.net and cofty, for redirecting me to the right organization!.

  when i posted why did god permit scriptures to be corrupted?

  then i thought, if there is an organization that believes all scriptures are corrupted (which obviously makes it enemy of all religions), that organization is not ordinary, but gutsy, lionhearted, and worthy of close examination!

  my family member says he only attends two meetings per week.

  and only goes out on field service whenever he wants to.

  are some halls less strict than others?

  They dropped the book study / group study a few years back so that leaves mid week and sunday. as long as he does some FS a month he will be largely left alone, if he misses a few months then the pressure to conform again will grow.

  It doesnt matter how they dress it up and fiddle about with it, it is still a cult.

  Nicola (or is that Mrs perry?) you have a very low threshold for truth and a high level of gullibility. You went from one cult to another and will likely go for a third too as you are so easily led. Please learn how to think, not what to think.

  Impossible conversation: Jesus and Nicodemus: YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am a member on new testament scholar bart ehrman's blog, and the professor is currently outlining a new book he is writing about false memory and the life of jesus.. an interesting post occurred today in which he gives an example of a very famous scripture,.

  example of a false memory of jesus teaching i turn to a famous passage in the gospel of john, jesus dialogue with nicodemus (john 3:1-15).

  nicodemus is said to be a jewish leader who comes up to jesus and affirms that jesus must come from god because of the great things that he said to have done.
