  Questions For The Skeptics (Unbelievers)

  by Zechariah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have announced i am on a crusade to encourage skeptics to think on the issue in a way they probably have never done before.

  i initially have made the mistake of cramming everything into one, two or three posts.

  this i should have immediately recognized is an impossibilty because what i have in mind requires a great amount of meditation to fu;;y comprehend.

  Do not you believe in the power of prayer? No, not in the sense that some invisible being is going to listen and do something. Maybe, a believer will obtain some positive result but the same result could be obtained with positive thinking. I don't pray, seems pointless.

  Do you celebrate Thanksgiving? If so why? Yes, Cultural requirement.

  Do you believe a law of reciprocity (reaping what you sow) exists? If so who or what enforces these laws? No, but most decent people will try to help others who they feel are deserving. The opposite is also true. Most people will avoid a**holes. This is not really a law of reciprocity, but human nature.

  Do you agree with the following concept?

  Do you recognize what is being spoken of at 2 Corinthians as the physical (carnal) man vs. the spiritual man. The physical man ignores his spiritual heritage as a son of God in his likeness whereas the spiritual anccepts it and Godas his father.

  No.

  Are any emotions positive or negative unique to the individual or are the shared universlly?It is a shocking fact that as Gods Little Computer People we are all connected together with all spirit creatures and God. It is on kind of a invisible LAN network that we all can access with the right clearances and passwords.

  The human experience is shared universally. All PCs running the same operating system don't have to be connected on a LAN to be able to responed in the same manner to the same data.

  It is amazing how on Talk shows the whole world can tap into hurt, joy, or love being expressed. All emotions good and bad are out there invisible like radio waves. We receive the emotions we are tuned into in many ways. Can you see this is true? These emotions are all spirits having personality. I am certain this is why ancient civilization developed there were individual Gods for every emotion. In a sense there exists just that.

  You don't need invisible spirits to explain human nature.

  i am not talking about the software i.e., the people, the pure language, the music, the smell of lavender as the toilet door swings to, or the obedient rustle of bible pages.

  Opps, ignore this. I was trying to do something that I was not suppose to do, and apparently it didn't work.

  Room Bids at Bethel

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  any bethelites remember the rite-of-passage for bethelites, bidding on rooms.

  for new-boys that basically translated into moving from one 5 x 5 room to the next (unless you started pioneering at the age of 9).

  for senior bethelite members, you're basically lickin' your chops because all those years of seniority can be used to obtain a room with a ...............bathroom.

  Seating at the convictions brings back memories. It always looked like everyones BookBags regurgitated all over the seats when you first got there. Everyone was saving seats exactly like they were told not to do.

  Pope says:

  There were 150 of us living in a shoebox in the middle of the road!

  Is there a mattress manufactured that would go into that size of a shoebox? It would have to measure 15 inches or less in length. Did you know that a conventional twin-size mattress measures 75 inches in length? That's 60 inches over the size you claim the box is!

  Maybe you better retell your STORY, Pope, except the next time try to exaggerate quite a bit less. Why should anyone believe a thing that you say ... sheesh!

  why exjws have VEHEMENT disagreements at times

  by Cyn in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  just a few thoughts..... i noticed that a lady named crystal posted her views.....and many people got upset....i did as well....part of me knows that taking responsibilty for my own life is important... and i have tried but also battle all my life....in fact i called to complain about the mail being late just today...and the supervisor's name is battle...to which i ( with my anaylytical bipolar mind ) reacted.......... i thought ," gee i battled allll my life but is could be taken as battle for youe life"... anyway....my original point was about why ex jws vehemently disagree... i remember when i saw and expereinced abuses in the org..and when i asked "sisters" and " brothers' for validation ( am i right or wrong?????

  ) some would agree then get frighetend and avoid me remember how we were warned against murmuring and how often so as not to appear unloving many people would use inuendoes or roll their eyes or play any number of mind games......( very loving that).

  expressing honestly and openly was , for the most part, not safe so i think that many exjws having been repressed as to free expression are more prone to let it all out... and disagree vehemently......... just a few thoughts.

  Does God still exist for you?

  by nakedmvistar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm quite new to this forum (only a handful of posts).

  but from what i've read up to now, it seems apparent that some of you have abandoned your belief in a god.

  is this because of trauma brought about by the jw religion?

  The JWs caused me to take a serious look at religion. Many of the previous beliefs that I had about religion were shown to be in error by the JWs. After much research and re-evaluation of my beliefs, it didn't take too much to just throw it all out.

  I suspect that the percentage of atheist/agnostics amoung XJWs is much higher than other religions. I attribute this to the fact that they have gotten rid of many of the myths that other religions retain. JWs are somewhere between orthodox Christians and an atheists in their beliefs.

  First and the Last of Rev 1:17 - why in caps?

  by Trotafox in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  referring to the excellent "kitchen" witness scene in gregbetre's thread regarding jw's denying the deity of the christ, i do have one question..... .

  rev 1:8; 17-18; 22:13 states that jesus christ is the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, and the beginning and the end.

  i don't think it is true that all jw's will say that rev 1:17 refers to jehovah.

  The JW doctrine of Christ's deity made easy:

  Jesus is a god, but there is only one God "Jehovah". But Jesus can be called a god because there are really many gods like Satan and the Worldly Authorities. But these are not really gods but false gods because there is only one "True God". Of course Jesus is not a false god but just a lesser god. Even though he is not "The God" he is truely a god, unlike so-called gods who are really false gods. Isaiah even goes so far as to call him "mighty god". So now that we've determined that we have "The God" Jehovah and the lesser mighty god Jesus. It must be pointed out that Jesus is really the Archangel Michael. So it basically boils down to just one God and they are the one True God Jehovah and the other lesser mighty god Michael the Archangel aka Jesus.

  Please note: When one does obeisance to the God Jehovah. This can be properly considered "Worship". Obeisance to the god Michael is in no way considered "Worship".

  There is no paradox
