  Do JWs believe that animals were created to live in harmony? Lion and the lamb

  by Doubledecker in

  thanks to all who replied to my first post, i appreciate you taking the time to do so.. i left jws for my own reasons as a teenager as i just simply didn’t believe it .

  i am enjoying playing catch up with all the information out there now showing multiple examples of false prophecies , covering up the truth and the jw broadcasting stuff is amazing ( as said before i’ve just ignored the organisation for 30 years ) , it’s totally brainwashing evangelical propaganda.. however i digress .... as a young kid i used to ask , “if in paradise the “ lion will lay with lamb “ and all creatures will live in harmony, why for example does a snake have venom if not to eat another creature ?”.

  like i say i was 10 years old i remember so please excuse the childish question.. but do they actually believe that was gods original plan for animals ?

  one of my favorite actors is robert de niro.

  some of his later movies were so so but overall i think he was outstanding.

  meryl streep, i just never thought she was anything exciting yet people say she’s the best actress of all time.

  Gene Hackman

  Helen Mirren

  Jane Fonda

  Jack Nicholson

  I`m thinking about the different roles they played in films and how well they adapted to them.

  Believers: How do you know your view of your chosen holy book is the correct one?

  don't start fighting, darlings.

  i am genuinely curious.

  after all i was a jobo 50 years and thought the wbt$ was 100% correct.. i ask this because i see that, for example, christian denominations (or whatever), likely have differing interpretations of the same writing.

  People cherry pick what they want to believe out of any religious book they want to believe in.In the many Christian religions in the world today a few have a different number of books that they consider as the word of God.

  And their are many many more books of Scripture that didn`t quite make it as a part of the Bible canon and not rejected by God ,but rejected by humans who didn`t believe they should be considered as part of Gods inspired word .

  God didn`t have a say in it .

  Jehovah`s Witnesses adopted the same Bible books as the Protestants why is that ?Because they are a protestant religion against the Roman Catholic Church. Just look at any of their publications throughout their short history of about 140 years ,contrast that with the Catholic religion of over 2000 years.

  Catholic religion, by the way had a big if not a great say or even the ultimate say, as to what Bible books were inspired by God or not and is really not disputed by anyone today including the Jehovah`s Witnesses .

  2. relationships

  my wife and i have always shared naked photos respectfully over the years.

  being the only thing to fill that void in our relationship due to being apart.

  recently my wife has become jehovah, and we’re not sure if my wife is allowed to respectfully share herself with me while i am away.

  Take your wife to see a therapist before your marriage falls apart because of her being indoctrinated by JW`s. beliefs.

  How do you feel about the JWS religion after being out more than 10, 20, 30 years ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  myself being a born in and completely out for more than 30 years i see more of the damage of what this religious cult causes people .. part of myself leaving had to do with the psychological harm it was causing people back in the 1970's, one guy my age at the time hung himself out anxiety and depression.. the numerous suicides that have occurred in numbers is shocking to say the least.. then there is the many families breaking up.. marriages breaking apart because one member decides to leave the jws.. the deaths of members or their children from refusing a blood transfusion.. this hit me personally when my mother refused a bt when she was ill in the hospital and died.. over the years and observing all of these things reminds me how glad and fortunate i left when i did but i do find it responsible to others to expose this religious cult to what can happen to people who get involved with it and that's what i've been doing on this forum and elsewhere.

  unfortunately, I blazed the trail for my younger siblings in jw-ism. My brothers aften mention to me that if it hadn't been for my "great example" that they probably wouldn't be jws today! wow!

  Wouldn`t that be the time to set the record straight and be up front why you are in a fade and help them cut the ties with what you recognise as a bad religion to belong to ?

  Isn`t that something to regret ? Had you taken a different course and been honest with yourself and them ,as they said , they wouldn`t be Jw`s today ?

  Wouldn`t you have wanted that ?

  I find that sad .

  Am I missing something here ?

  As if the Governing body members don`t have those sort of sins , I LMAO .

  As well as these types of crimes.

  While they are guilty of being accesararys to crimes committed by members of their religion and withholding such information from law enforcement and child protection authorities .

  See the letter about withholding information about a known murderer in the congregation

  Sorry ,i can`t help you with your request i just couldn`t hold back on saying something
