A one sentence reply that could jolt a JW
by HBH inmy mind was wandering last night, and i though of this as a reply to a jw.. "oh, your the people who believe 8 men in brooklyn, ny are directing the world's only true religion.".
the sentence is a fact that they can't deny, but clearly shows delusion.
any other one sentence "stingers"?.

In general, the people on this forum have a poor outlook spiritually speaking.
by Stand for Pure Worship inso i waz reading the august 15 wt study article, elisha saw fiery chariots, do you?
and it made me think about this forum.

Problemaddict and yaddayaddayadda, NICELY put. SFPW, im sure your intentions are pure, but as the talk said the other night, it IS right to change our religion if we discover there are unscriptural teachings in it. I can't believe I type these words sometimes cos I once thought and spoke EXACTLY the same as you, but there are just too many about turns and inconsistencies for it to be gods organisation . Any honest appraisal of jwfacts or honest comparison of our own literature over the decades will bring you to that conclusion. I didn't want to end up that way. I haven't CHOSEN to believe this. The FACTS led me here. I don't mean to deride the good the org does, it helps a lot of people in very real ways, but I don't believe their claim to be the only channel god is using to dispense spiritual food. He wouldn't appoint a f&ds then not actually explain who they were, OR allow that Slave to teach wrong things for decades.

Things in the Bible that the JWs don't follow/practice.
by UBM101 ini am pretty annoyed to read/hear them saying that they are the true christian religion because they preach, follow the bible bla..bla..bla... let's list down the things in the bible that they don't follow/do.
i'm sure they are plenty.. the fruits of the holy spirit, that's for a start.. .

Yep , it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things , but I wasn't planning on coming out just yet. We'll see if anything comes of it. You never know, if he knows I've got doubts maybe it'll spur him on to do some research himself. . . . . .

Much fumbling trying to get my phone to show something different while mumbling something about down loading lots of random podcasts.... Not a word has been said. HUGE elephant in the room. Watch this space to see if I end up stood in poo.

1970 Awake Chastises Catholic Church For Its "New Light"
by Justitia Themis ineven in the united states, where religion still enjoys perhaps the greatest popularity, nearly three out of four persons polled said that it is losing influence.
one of the reasons is that people are disturbed by what is happening in their churches.
yes, millions of persons have been shocked to learn that things they were taught as being vital for salvation are now considered by their church to be wrong.

Hi
by LucidChimp ini've been lurking here for a year or two now (since i stumbled across ttatt and was stumbled by it), i even started an account some while back and asked a couple of questions.. but i never actually stood up and said hi... so hi, my name's jon and i'm a dubaholic.. .
i was "born in" in the 80s - and grew up on a liquid diet of cheap suits and revelation book pictures (i mean really, group after group just staring at the pictures while not listening, i must have spent more time staring at those pictures than i have any work of art in my life, literally hours at each lurid picture).
i "left" in my teens, but apparently lacking any kind of actual sense, returned to studying with a childhood friend from the congregation in my twenties (although i was never baptised, my entire small family were dubs, so i saw more witnesses than "worldly people" on a regular basis.. they love bombed my arse for years!)..
