  a question after my first JW meeting

  by bleak in

  2. beliefs

  i attended my first jw meeting recently.

  first, i would like to say what i agree with about the jehovah's witnesses beliefs and practices.. 1. they don't consider israeli's as "god's chosen people" and they don't worship israel as some holy land filled with righteous jews (although there are some there) as most so-called "christians" (christian zionists) erroneously believe they are instead of the "hypocrites" and "vipers" that it is actually filled with.. 2. they don't celebrate "holidays" like easter and christmas which are, in fact, remnants of earlier pagan practices.. 3. they don't put nation before god and christ.

  they don't believe in war or going to war because of some crazy government/cia secret agenda.

  is it me or are there no email notifications for replies/comments on threads i've posted to?

  i say "is it me" because i use a few handy dandy browser privacy plugins but i can't see where those are effecting my personal settings.

  thanks..

  Why 2017 Was the Best Year in Human History

  i found the following article to be a nice contrast to the jw's gloomy point of view.. why 2017 was the best year in human history.

  we all know that the world is going to hell.

  given the rising risk of nuclear war with north korea, the paralysis in congress, warfare in yemen and syria, atrocities in myanmar and a president who may be going cuckoo, you might think 2017 was the worst year ever.. but you’d be wrong.

  Do Not Judge So That You Will Not Be Judged. Mth. 7:1

  i do not believe in the bible but i will use the reasoning from the new testament to argue against watchtower.

  the reason i will only use the new testament is that jesus replaced the mosaic law with himself.

  even watchtower agree with this principle.

  What do Jehovah's Witnesses think of modern day Israel?

  by bleak in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i mentioned this to the two ladies who came by yesterday.

  they indicated to me through bible readings (like 2 timothy 3 and another) that jw's are not what are called "christian zionists.

  " is this true because if it is not (that jw's actually do support israel), i want no part of the jehovah's witnesses.

  ive just watched on youtube the b.i.t.e model of cult mind control by steve hassan.

  all 23 steps apply to the wts.

  its awful knowing i was tricked and how subtly it was done without me even knowing.
