  Should I continue to help an "unbelieving" husband?

  by RiverPeace in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know there are a lot of 'wise heads' out there on this forum - so i would appreciate your suggestions.. several years ago, i studied with a guy, whose wife is a jw.

  (he had studied with several elders before i came along).

  the study went reasonably well.

  This might depend on how confident you are that you can show him contradictions between WT teachings and the Bible.

  Be especially careful not to get sucked into the WT yourself.

  If you decide to give it a go, remember that questions work better than statements.

  Don't try to prove anything to him; let him prove to you that the WT is right. After all, he thinks they have the truth and it's his job to teach you.

  If you want to take a biblical approach, you might look for resources to help you.

  I'd recommend Rhodes' book, Reasoning from the Scriptures with the Jehovah's Witnesses or Englund's book, Getting Through to Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Both are available on Amazon.

  What JW Subjects Interest You The Most On This Site? What Doesn’t??

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i like subjects that delve into the history of the religion and proofs that the witnesses are not the true religion.

  i’m not so much into apologists saying we need to go to meetings, especially if the poster looks like a scammer trying to get ex jws going.

  what subjects interest you ?

  Even though many -- maybe most of -- us here are now well informed about WT theology and issues, there are always new ones joining the forum who are trying to sort through all of it.

  I want to be of as much help as I can, being thankful for the people who helped me.

  Havent gone to the kingdom hall in ten years but may have to go back...

  2. experiences

  made a big mistake of talking about being raised as a jehovah's witness to some old friends and family.

  people have told me that i am still a jws even though i've never been baptized.

  i'm in school for social services, dealing with student loan debt, and a lot of other debt.

  Why go back into something you know isn't true and has caused you harm?

  The idea that there is nowhere else to go is part of the WT brainwashing.

  That letter states what JWs believe and would almost be guaranteed to turn off everyone who receives it.

  Did You Fully Buy the WT View of Romans 6:7 (Acquitted of Sin by Dying) ?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  romans chapter 6 is about saying goodbye to the old personality, the old man in the king james version.

  the old personality must die, he cannot be fixed.

  the old personality is characterized by dominance of the flesh.

  I may be wrong, but I think Fred Franz came up with that interpretation of Romans 6:7 as well as the NWT rendering that went with it.

  What useful piece of literature have the JW produced?

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  seeing on another post here about former jws throwing away literature.

  i am curious as to the various opinions on there value.. for me i have been inactive for 3 years almost 4. i still have alot of books and of course all their bibles ever produced (except a few from the 1800s.).

  in my opinion i think there are four books the jws produced that are useful:.

  Most of the old literature is useful for disproving the GB's claims about itself and the organization.

  As ex-elder Leonard Chretien said, "The Watchtower's worst enemy is its own publications."

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses running a race with no end in sight?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  horse racing lengths vary from just a couple of furlongs to several hundred miles, if you count the mongolian derby.

  in britain, horse racing rules state that races should be over a minimum of five furlongs, while the longest race is over 4m2½f.. .

  nascar races generally last anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on the length of the race, number of laps and track conditions.

  The end is always in sight for them.

  The problem is that the finish line keeps moving.

  How times have changed!

  It wasn't that long ago the WT considered the internet to be Satan's and JWs were told to stay away from it.

  Now, all many Witnesses can do when you ask them a question is refer you to jw dot org.
