  Stoning to death for picking up sticks on a Sabbath day

  That is why I am terrified to do any work on Sundays.

  Congratulations to the W. T.

  i think congratulations are long overdue to the wt for the excellent job they do of keeping members dumbed-down and feeling safe inside the cocoon of a hive mind.

  they tell us that the best education program in the world is reading the wt publications but here is a conversation i had with my uber elder buddy yesterday that may prove otherwise.

  we were talking about the october broadcast and the question of whether gods name should be included or not, when i made an offhand comment about the compiling of the new testament and the canonisation of its books.

  If at all the Bible is God word, he (God) should have provided it in all the languages of the world, written in pages of gold, or any more hard materials, that cannot be erased or altered in any form.

  After all humans could create Read Only Documents. Why cant god ?
  

  And It should contain real words of wisdom and fascinating truths about the Universe. Not "The Sun stood still for Joshua's Battle" types of ignorance.

  How Did The Elders Treat You?

  by minimus in

  did you get along with them?

  did you ever incur their wrath?

  most jws want to be “friends “ with the elders, kind of like having a policeman that you know who might help you out if you are in need..

  I knew quite a few who were elders only to fulfil thier Egos, by contoliing others. Some were genuinely service oriented and humble (Brainwashed of course)

  How do you feel about your JW childhood?

  i was 5 years old when my mother was baptised.

  we went from celebrating xmas to no presents or decorations.

  we would still go to my unbelieving aunty's house on xmas day, all of my cousins would be playing with their new toys and would wonder why i didn't have any.

  I was baptized into the cult at the age of 30. I am thankful to Jehovah for leaving me alone until then

  Do You Know Of Anyone Who Left JWs And Then Decided To Return?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  quite a few years ago there was a poster here that left the religion because he knew it was simply not true.

  however, he returned to jws because he wanted to be with his family.

  i don’t know how he is doing but gumby was his name.

  People would return only for 2 reasons, IMHO:

  THey left for some reasons, still believing its the truth and then return out of fear or guilt.

  They left because they discovered its a cult but yet return for the sake of family.

  Why is the Watchtower omitting even more scriptures from their bible?

  by Tameria2001 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was searching for something online when i came across something that perked my interest.

  i left the jws back in 2001, and have recently discovered that in 2013 they released a new edition of the new world translation of the holy scriptures.

  but something i have also discovered it that they have omitted even more scriptures than what was in the 1984 edition as if that was bad enough.

  So the Bible was god inspired and written by ancient Middle east men, then compiled by Romans where several books were excluded and others included - after a long debate - and then hand copied and sparsely distributed and when the Printing press came, printed and then translated into numerous versions, each version claiming itself to be authentic and now many verses removed, which had been taken very serious all these centuries.

  Wow god’s Grand plan to save mankind is awesome.

  This very much Proves that the Bible is not God’s word. Nothing else either.

  Jehovah was very cruel when he punished the various tribes for silly reasons.

  Field service is very silly, like going and taking about a fairy tale.

  That talk was very boring

  I dont feel like going out in service today. Too Tired.

  I'm afraid I'd be single for life

  by ohnightdivine in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  this is quite embarrassing for me to share, but as a 30+ year old single female i have lingering doubts as to whether i can still meet a decent man and get married.. you all know how difficult it is for sisters to find an appropriate partner in the congregation.. and now, all the more so that i've learned ttatt.

  i still am bound by low self-esteem, and i do have trust issues, especially with men.

  i am very lonely and so i just keep myself busy with work to avoid depression (although it is also a great source of stress).. any other single females out there having similar thoughts?.

  There are so many non JW men out there who are far way better than JW males I had seen. Provided you are ok to marry out of the JW. THis is a fact I have seen. Dont lose hope
