It took a lot of lies, ignorance and corruption to create CHURCHIANITY!

by TruthMatters in

have you gone back to that- or lost you faith because of 'brothers'?.

I think you could turn that subject heading on its head by replacing two words .

" It took a lot of lies Ignorance and Corruption to create Jehovah`s Witnesses."

And i would agree wholeheartedly with you.

Most of you KNOW it that we witnesses have the Truth from the Bible

by TruthMatters in

In the words of Pauline Hanson { for ozzie posters } "Please Explain" ? TruthMatters why you are still a JW? and defending the organization ? in saying the above comments and posting on this forum ?

And if you said any of this openly in a congregation you would be DF, correct ?

Sorry Rocketman I didn`t realise you had posted what you did.

Jehovah’s Witnesses That Acted Like Humans

by minimus in

jw
friends

when you look back , did your witness associates act like normal human beings?

did any of them ever show compassion and feelings for a disfellowshipped person?.

any elders ever try to be kind to you, not “kind” as watchtower organization dictates, but truly kind and caring for you if you were experiencing difficulties?

I remember one in the second congregation my wife and I attended going back to the 60`s. We were a young couple and going through some money troubles at the time and he offered to help get us back on our feet with a loan which I declined .He was an assistant cong.O/seer a really very nice guy.

I have little respect for the GB, since they have CONTINUED was they goofy opinions ('Overlapping-generations'), have dumbed down the meetings, and even the newest version of the NWT!

So what part of the Jehovah`s Witness religion is the "Truth" ?

When exactly did they ever have the "truth?

In Russells day ? Rutherfords day? Knorr`s day ? Nothing any of those guys taught and preached is beleived as "True" by Jehovah`s Winesses today .

So they were false prophets then , and still are.

Non Believers, how do you respond ?

by Phizzy in

i recently had this in a message from a jw, a lovely person, but mind controlled, he wrote " a life without hope is no life for me".. how should i respond to that ?

i am an atheist, but want to respond in as kindly a way as possible.. i was thinking along the lies of saying i got no comfort from what i knew to be false hope, but need to say it in a kindly way.. ideas please ?.

smiddy3

Aren`t hope and faith akin to each other ? and if either is based on a falsehood of what benefit is it ?

I would rather have no hope and no faith than to deceive myself with a false hope and false faith .

Can you elaborate on that zachias ? How long ago was that and how old were you at the time ? And if i may what part of the world do you live in ,generally speaking that is.

I was in Melborne Vic .Australia with my experience and that`s about 60 years ago now.

And no, for all you naysayers out there, I`m not ready for the funny farm just yet .
