  Debunking the Watchtower - Slam Dunks and Solid Arguments

  by Nickolas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there's a wide cross section of thinkers on this board, representing christian belief and non-belief and points in between, the agnostics.

  there is most definitely a minority, mostly silent, of devoted jehovah's witnesses present, too, but their contribution to the dialogue and dynamic of the board is minimal.

  that small minority aside, it can be said the people who venture into here to communicate with one another share a common paradigm, and that is the watchtower is built on a foundation of clay.

  Is JW Disfellowshipping Scriptural?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the bible says to "remove the wicked man".

  the scriptures teach that certain things are "works of the flesh".

  some verses speak of "marking" or "taking special notice of" if a congregant is "disorderly".. where does the bible teach that a "sinner" should meet with 3 elders and they should hold a "judicial meeting to determine whether someone is repentant oe not"?

  Where else will you go?

  by wary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the po comes to see me and talks round the houses trying to find out what my problem is.. so i tell him "look its something i have to sort out for myself and i dont want to destroy your faith and make you start questioning so id rather not tell you".

  he already knew cos the first elder went to his house the second he left mine and told him about [what i thought was a private conversation between mates,] my issues.. so he proceeds to tell me a story of a brother he knows who was always very studious and knowledgable about all prophecies and the details of our beliefs.. well the guy suddenly stopped attending meetings last year, dont know why but the po seemed pretty upset about it as he was an old friend.. so he says " i said to him, but john, where will you go now on sunday afternoons,!

  and really wary where else will you go?".

  How can I help my wife to get out

  by Albert Einstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am fading out after 18 years in jw cult (pioneer, ms, elder etc ...).

  my wife was born in jw family, very strong family bonds, very loyal to jw.

  at home we can talk pretty open, but she is so blindfolded, so loyal, not willing to admitt jw could be totally wrong... is there any chance to help her step by step?

  1. jw
  2. friends

  much is being made of the recent downturn in property values throughout the us.

  i have read media reports of overseas buyers snapping up property for very little money.

  the most recent article i read was in reference to property in detroit.

  Noah and the flood

  by Iwonder17 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok, so i have been watching a show on the discovery channel about noah and it got me thinking....let's say that the whole world was covered in a floor about 6000 years ago.

  is it even possible to have the earth populate itself in just 6000 years?

  also, and more interesting, how can all of the different breads of animals get to all of the contenants and repopulate themselves in that short amount of time as well???

  Deceptive or just wrong?

  by johnnyc in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been virtually non-stop studying everything i can get my hands on with regards the wtbts, and "apostate" literature and information.

  in all honesty, 80% at least is non-sense and over critical.

  however, i do find about 20% (if i have to create a percentage reference) is appropriate in its line of reasoning and questioning.

  I'm expecting a return visit tomorrow. A little help?

  by FreeWilly in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so some nice jw ladies stopped by and left the "truth" pamphlet.

  i told then that i wasn't a big fan of the bible since it was very divisive.

  as an example i told them that my folks became jw's and it devestated our family.
