  Why are JWs so against debate

  by enigma1863 in

  if the jws follow proverbs 27:17 they should not be afraid of any tension or friction.. in order for iron to sharpen iron you need pressure, tension friction and a bit of heated debate..

  There's nothing the WTS likes less than mass debate.

  Fnarr fnarr. Nudge nudge. Wink wink.

  Did you see what I did there?

  Meant to say that the book was one of my "wake up" texts that helped convince me that evolution was not some Satanic diversion

  The moral problem of Ephesians 5:23

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for the husband is the head of the wife as christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the savior.

  (ephesians 5:23).

  if jesus is the head of the church, jesus is responsible for the many contradictions contained in the new testament.

  Lately I have been thinking about what exactly is the worst that could happen if I just said to my wife that I don't believe it anymore. She knows I have doubts but I think the reason she does not press me that hard about it is that she is scared that I don't want it any more. What really is the worst that can happen by opening up about the extent of my feelings?

  I have no fear about my marriage so once the initial upset is over then perhaps things would just be pragmatic as I know she would not want me to escalate things so I was DF'ed or DA'ed myself.

  It would certainly make managing the increasing questions from the kids easier to handle plus no more making excuses about the ministry etc.

  I have to say though that I am finding it increasingly hard. Something has to give.

  Today we had a talk about "Jehovah's Day" where the speaker emphasised how destructive Jehovah's Day will be. He used the scripture about the Last Days being like "pangs of distress", equating them to birth pangs, something that cannot be ignored and will always result in a conclusion. He then talked about it being as a thief.

  I was sitting there steaming - which is it? Are the last days so eventful that they cannot be ignored or is discernment of events so limited that you have to keep watch as if waiting for someone to come in the dead of night and burgle your home?

  Then we had the WT about training. The term "young ones" as used over and over again, except of course the article is only talking about young ones with a penis. Not one word about how females can "progress", because of course they can't go that far unless it's on the coat tails of their husband.

  Of course, the disengagement of males in the congregation is down to them having secular goals. Perhaps so but no word about perhaps how the theology simply does not make sense anymore. Has my dis-engagement after 20 years as an MS come from not making the truth my own or the fact I woke up to the whole thing being a crock of shite?

  After meetings like today's, I really feel fit to burst with anger and frustration.

  All Christians Should Accept EVOLUTION

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is time for christians to accept evolution, in my opinion.. there are many reasons why i think it is long overdue for all christians to finally accept what science says about evolution.

  below i will show these reasons.. .

  the bible tells people to pay attention to nature to see the glory of god (psalm 19; romans 1:19-20).

  The Bible is 100% consistent with all "proven" science and "proven" archaeology. According to the WTS.

  Where it differs with anything published then the Bible is correct and the experts wrong.

  It's easy to harmonise the Bible and science when you are JW.
