Welcome to the forum Worstfear ,though not under the best circumstances. She has done the dirty on you ,so don`t let her take you for a ride.Protect your assets and throw her under the bus JW wise .Make sure the Elders know it was her who brought reproach on Jehovahs Organization .It`s no time or place to be sentimental or "christian" you know what I mean ,don`t turn the other cheek.

I hope there are no children involved .

Make sure you take care of yourself mentally as it can be a harrowing experience , I`ve seen my youngest son go through this same scenario,I know you must be devastated .

Take care ,I wish you well.

Jehovah GOD a failed GOD in many respects.

isn`t there enough evidence to acknowledge the god of the bible has been a failure ?according to wt / jw teachings ?.

a god that has supposed to have created the visible universe and everything in it ?.

some points where i would challenge that from an earthlings point of view using the bible if only in paraphrase.. doesn`t god create everything perfect ?

SB,

How can you or anybody else for that matter say that God is love ? Examining the historical evidences of the Bible if they were even true, and the history of humankind ?

So what you seem to be implying is that there can be no "paradise" that God intended because some Angels and some humans will always rebel against a Theocratic Rule ,whereby Jehovah will have to kill them off.

Isn`t that a fail ?

Doesn`t God create everything Perfect ? Including the Angels ? and humans ? We know why humans fell short out of their perfection according to WT/ Bible ,ultimately because of deception by an Angel designated as Satan .

Isnt that a failure ?

While Satan figures prominently in the Bible ,he was not the only Angel to rebel was he . According to the Bible ,didn`t a third of the Angels side with Satan ? and reject Jehovah as GOD ALMIGHTY ?

Isn`t that a failure ?

Just how Almighty is Jehovah God if allowing Satan to come before him on his heavenly throne after rebelling against him for hundreds of years and he still converses with him ,and even allows him to test one of Gods loyal subjects ?

Isn`t that a failure ?

Then hundreds of years later Satan is allowed to test the son of God Jesus and even spend time with him upon a mountain together .

Isn`t that a failure ?

Armageddon is supposed to happen any day soon now when Satan is to be abyss`d for a thousand years ,but after Satan is to be let loosed upon earth once again to mislead many more people as he can ,( wasn`t the first six thousand years enough? ) apparently not .

Another failure ?

Humans are supposed to be lower than the Angels right ? In all of this time who on the scale of justice do you think got the short end of the stick..?

What sufferering`s deprivation ,indignitarie,s ,pain and loss of life ,diseases and death ,did any rebellious Angel ever go through ?

Your thoughts, criticism would be appreciated .

Theocratic Warfare

by Iamallcool in

most of us know what theocratic warfare means but maybe very few people reading this forum might never heard of theocratic warfare.

can you give them some examples of theocratic warfare?

.

smiddy3

If I remember correctly,Vin Toole the JW lawyer lying to the ARC under oath mind you when asked about theocratic warfare said he had heard of the phrase but did not know what it meant.

Also

Geoffrey Jackson Aust GB member lied to the ARC again under oath to tell the truth ,that it would be presumptuous to say that JW were the only religion God was using .

Is the door to door preaching work not the primary focus anymore?

by pistolpete in

a few months back, one of my uncles who was an elder, asked the co, why jehovah would allow the door to door preaching work, to come to an abrupt end.

this was when my uncle was starting to have serious doubts about the organization.. the co told him to be patient, and hang in there, because the governing body was on top of things and in time would explain what is happening regarding the preaching work.. my uncle asked; “what do you mean?”.

co said; “focus on the wt study articles in the coming months” .

So true Pete Zahut I remember that time well,how many times can the GB build up end expectations only for the R&F to be sadly let down again,and again and again.

PIMO elder

i’m reservations, pimo elder.

i’m in no position to leave the organisation, maybe some people will see that as weak or whatever, but we have to all go down our own path in life.. i would like to be able to wake people up in my congregation, how do you think best to do this?

any ideas?.

Hi Rez and welcome to the forum,

I was a MS who was being groomed to be an Elder but I did not want to be an Elder ,I did not want that responsibility.

After reading most of the comments I can only with those who say in essence that trying to wake up those in the congregation is a futile thing to do.

I became a JW in 1960 in the next 10- 15 years i saw and experienced some questionable things both in the religion and the people who were a part of the religion. Did I leave the religion then ? NO.

In the study of the revelation book when they made claim to the seven trumpets sounding relating to the Conventions starting in Cedar point Ohio in 1922 ,I said to myself whoa that`s a big stretch of the imagination ? i couldn`t beleive it. Did I leave the religion then ? NO

When the book came out pointing to 6000 years of human history ending in 1975 way back in 1968-9 , i beleived it not knowing then that this was the second time they had made a similar prediction back in the 1800`s.

And when 1975 came and went 1976 came and went with no Jesus setting up his Kingdom over the earth as was suggested by the WT/JW religion they tried to blame it on the R&F as running ahead .

I knew then, that that, was Bullshit .Did I leave the religion then ? NO

I didn`t finally leave until 1992-3 when I realised it was so many little things that had grown up over a long period of time that finally broke the camels back.

So please don`t waste your life trying to wake people up , they wont do so until they themselves are ready to be woken up.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Take care
