when i was a jw and still living with my parents i remember the way my father held what could almost be described as contempt for archeologists, paleontologists, and other scientists who dared to try explain what happened in past.
he justified this attidtude with the argument that these people don’t have enough evidence to make such claims with any certainty.
however, i see now that his viewpoint was more likely a defense mechanism to protect his presupposed conclusion that everything described in the bible actually happened.
Two elders came to my home recently to revive me up.
It started with Noah’s flood. They argued it was true
I asked them "If Noah’s flood is true, why don’t any of the Science channels today authorize that such a world wide event happened"
Their reply. "All Science channels are against the Bible"
What else to argue with these “Self Deluded, heads buried in the sand” zombies
in the genocidal instructions supposedly given by god we find this interesting command: “now kill all the boys.
and kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.” (numbers 31:17, 18).
in the midst of killing and plundering, how were the israelites to determine whether each girl “has slept with a man” or not?.
Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.” (Numbers 31:17, 18 )
I was never shown these type of verses during my Bible study, nor in my Sunday Schools.
If shown, Would have become an atheist sooner in my life.
witnesses are used to saying that every other religion but their own makes up “false religion “....how would a devout witness handle being labeled as a member of a false religion??
?.
Perhaps their reply would be:
Only the Bible is true out of all religious books and only JWs use god’s name out of those 32K Christian Denominations.
Perhaps we can ask them: “Really, and this Almighty god of yours, who kills a man instantly for preventing the ark from tumbling down, didnt do anything when his Holy name was taken out of his Holy book and remains silent for 1875 years, until CT Russell came to restore it."
When 999 religions out of 1000 are false, why cant we scrutinise that one one "True" religion with the same criteria as you did for those false ones ?
i was just told there will be international conventions in canada in 2019. .
so i looked at jw.org and i see that there's a whole bunch of conventions now listed on the site for 2019.. isn't this odd?
normally we were told the location of conventions during the first week of january.. did they realize there was less in attendance in the 2018 conventions, and want to give ppl more time to make travel arrangements??
May be Armeggadon is planned for 2020. So save as much people by bringing them to the 2019 conventions.
hello, recently, i talked with the witness of the united states.
"jehovah's witnesses" in the united nations.
as far as i understand, the organization had to fully accept the un charter and cooperate with the un.the jehovah's witness replied to me that there is no contradiction in this.he said that witnesses are allowed to apply, for example, to courts or other organizations for help.when i told him that the organization is participating in the osce, he is said to be normal too.he said that they are not affected.
If it isn’t wrong to be a member of the UN, why did they then withdraw their membership in 2001?
Yes, why did they withdraw. Also, they withdrew it hastily when they were Exposed by a UK Newspaper
why do jws insist on still quoting from the old testament to back up some of their wacky ideas?
such as on blood, beards, abortion, tattoos, etc.
surely if the mosaic law code was nailed to the torture stake all of its parts were cancelled.
If God's law is everlasting(as you say):
Can Slavery be practiced today
Can death be a punishment for working on a Sabbath today
Can Infidels be stoned to death today.
Can Unbeleivers be slaughtered

Jesus never said to write anything down because that wasn't the media 2 thousand years ago. Most people couldn't read even 200years ago, jeshe...Only a limited few could read and/or write.
So the most important person in the universe, while on the most important mission, never wrote down anything nor left any tangible evidence of his existence and miracles. Faith is Awesome !!
the jdubs talk about their loved ones or friends leaving jehovah.
how can one leave some one who they never saw, some one who is invisible or some one who never talked to them.. what they mean is they no longer obey the borg so the borg is the same as jehovah.. long live the 8 self licking ice cream popes!!
!.
When I got into Jehovah’s Organization this Big daddy never welcomed me.
When I left , he never bothered to utter a word either.
Well, the saying that "The Invisible and Non-Existent look very much alike “ sounds true.
the jehovah's witnesses believe that jesus christ and michael the archangel are the same person, and blatently ignore numerous verses and passages within scripture which explain that both jesus and michael are two separate persons.this video study (linked below) goes into the intricacies of hebrews chapters 1+2 explaining how the lord jesus and michael are different persons, and looks at the qualities, authority and power at which the lord jesus holds and how it is separate from angels including michael the archangel..
Jesus = Michael
Jesus Not equal to Michael
Why does it matter. Its all middle east Imagination
1 timothy 2:11-15let a woman learn in silence with full submissiveness.
i do not permit a woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man, but to be in silence.
for adam was formed first, then eve.
Another similar Bible Gem
1 Corinthians 14:34 Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. 35If they wish to inquire about something, they are to ask their own husbands at home; for it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the church
It is dishonorable for a woman to speak in the congregation. (dishonorable – How misogynistic)
And Watchtower bypasses this by allowing women to act in a conversation, indirectly speaking as well as preach in the congregation. This is like paying a traffic violation fine first and then violating the traffic rules. Taking advantage of loop holes.
Despite these misogynistic and male chauvinistic verses, woman are the larger army in any Christendom sect.
