A shout out to all those shunned by family...

by Luke in

hello people.

i am a new poster here, although i have lurked for about 3 years now.

so most people will not recognise me.. .

Azazel

Thx Luke and welcome to the forum.

If you have no family ties to JW you should perhaps just cut n run. (Wish i could. Family still in.)

Regards

ok jw teaching aside, can you see a time coming when religon will cease to exist?

by highdose in

possibly this could happen in a dramatic sudden way or a slow burn but can you see the human race progressing to the point were they no longer need to belive in these myths and legends?.

Azazel

Seriously being a Sci-fi fan i like the reasonably unusual so i will say i hope religion takes a shot to the head!

In whatever form it takes, its a form of control we just dont need. ( man has dominated man to his injury)

Funny if the WTS gets destroyed along with the rest.

(Pinch myself) its only speculation at best.

Steal this response if you need one for the Witnesses

by Dogpatch in

jw
friends

i can't type worth a damn and have had operations on my main (left) hand, so i sometimes send a pre-recorded response to emails and messages from people who are down and out about getting out of the witnesses, and some are near suicidal.

it is what i would type anyway.

then i add a few lines.

Thanks Randall and merry christmas to you an the family.

Is the Watchtower so assured of its members' loyalty it can do and say as it pleases?

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

i don't know how any of you feel about this, but is it possible the watchtower society is so self-assured of its members' loyalty that it no longer cares what it says or does anymore?.

one example would be the constant admonition to practically worship the faithful and discreet slave.. another is changing the end of the calling of the anointed from 1935 to no fixed date, allowing the number of anointed to be at its highest for over 40 years.. what about the overlapping generations?

most non-jws, if pointed out the inconsistencies, would see the folly of this latest understanding, yet the rank and file swallow it, hook, line and sinker.. such changes are almost blatant, in your face, yet where is the anger, the rage, at yet another move of the goal posts?.

Azazel

truthseeker your right they are able to write as they like because no-one within will question them or if they do they will be removed.

You know when the first efforts of Russel (and many many others) to understand the Bible , for them the light must have given them a warm feeling as their understanding led to accurate knowledge.

Somewhere they lost that it? im not sure exactly where or when or by whom.

Now the "light " is in their minds(jw) so bright they cannot see or even comprehend anything else but that all blinding light they recieve via WTS.

I would never have been able to see the real truths if they hadnt DF me and forced me away from their blinding light.They did me a favour by the way.Now im able to attend KH with my spiritual sunglasses on so as to not get blinded again. Really saddens me to see a hall near full of blind disciples.How Jesus must feel to see this happen to Christians?

My thoughts of course and in no way preaching to others.

Looking for examples of how the Watchtower usurps Jesus position.

by Indian Larry in

i am doing a personal research project and looking for examples of how the watchtower usurps jesus postion.

scriptural or wt references would be great.

thanks!.

Azazel

I read on a thread here somewhere that WTS have substituted WTS with Jehovah. So any decision is from Jehovah not men. Really?
