  What death teaches!

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  death teaches that nothing belongs to us.

  no other teachings have been conveyed so clearly, powerfully, and globally.

  yet this is the one that is not taken seriously by people in general.

  Where does the Society stand on Uniformitarianism?

  by marmot in

  my dad doesn't like the fact that i've come to accept the theory of evolution.

  he always accuses me of unquestioningly "buying into" what scientists say and says i don't apply critical thinking to the problem.

  so now i've decided to tackle his claim at the roots.

  I am a 33rd level Scottish right Grand Wizard Uniformitarianist. We have lodges all over and Wednesdays is rib night. All are welcome. Dress code: Black tie and tails (male and female), white gloves and an apron.

  So which is it, according to the Society? Is the earth billions of years old and therefore uniformitarianism is true, or did a global flood cover the earth a few thousand years ago and uniformitarianism is a lie?

  The universe is Billions of years old but Jehovah only decided to start doing things to planet earth last week.

  So before the flood carbon 14 dating tests would have given different readings to tests done after the flood, yada yada yada.

  Iconoclastic,

  Have you read Steve Hassan's 'Combatting cult mind control'?

  Its a staple among the ex-jw community.

  I went down in the first Round!

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is a visitor brother in town and from what ive been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him.

  i took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes.

  i heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving jehovahs organization.

  Well if the Watchtower membership went down to 1 million, 7 out of 8 people around that table would be among those who left. So perhaps they were subconsciously clapping at the prospect of being free.

  How did your close JWs react when they found out you know TTATT?

  i'm not sure if this topic has ever been posted (surely, i believe it has), but it would be interesting to revive such a topic and hear your stories!.

  when my parents heard my first rant (after they told me to be home schooled when i was caught kissing a girl) they entered into a long depression that continues to this day.

  my father suffers knowing his once amazing family is now divided, and my mother is equally angry.

  Does Anyone Still Believe in God?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

  even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

  the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

  God died after he created the universe.
  Thats actually a very interesting statement [Fl]unkie!

  And God gets fully reborn just as this universe ends...so that he can die and the next one can begin.

  FlunkieJimmy, have you been reading my diary again? Stay out of my room!

  MOOOOOM!!!!!... Jimmy's been in my room again!
