  Evil Wind Chimes

  by Sea Breeze in

  i remember going door to door in the late 60's with my mother as a 5 or 6 year old.

  one time she caught me looking at the wind chimes on a porch.

  she told me they had pagan origins, were evil, and were somehow connected to demons.

  How Fear is Weaponized

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  fear is used by politicians, marketeers, social scientists, military psy-ops tacticians and just about anyone who wants to manipulate or destabilize another.

  to illustrate, look at this 1964 political ad by pres.

  johnson against barry goldwater:.

  Religion = Fear of Death X Insecurity of life

  I know a Superzealous JW who is absolutely terrified about death. He had never attended funerals due to the fear of dead bodies. Later I realized that it was his terrified fear of death that makes him a Superzeal JW.

  Is Jesus Christ Your Mediator? Watchtower's Position is Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit!

  by RottenRiley in

  2. p. 363; emphasis added) .

  (ibid., p. 362; emphasis added) .. to say jesus is mediator only for the 144,000 is actually to deny the possibility of forgiveness of sins for any others.

  ; emphasis added) .

  Is Jesus Christ Your Mediator

  An invisible, un Audible, "Never proved to Exist" Mediator. That is scary

  "Do you believe that the 'faithful slave' is God's channel of communication?"

  by The Fall Guy in

  2. beliefs

  if a jw had the nerve to ask me this question, i'd say to them, "you go first.

  using only scriptural proof, show me why you believe that the wtbts/ccojw is god's choice and i'll tell you if i agree with your scriptural reasoning.".

  wait for the silence and the rabbit in the headlights moment.. i searched on the wt cd rom for references of "channel of communication.".

  Yeah, the Holy Bible says that we would be having an "All American" faithful and discreet slave during the last days to communicate and save the whole world.

  Believers: How do you know your view of your chosen holy book is the correct one?

  don't start fighting, darlings.

  i am genuinely curious.

  after all i was a jobo 50 years and thought the wbt$ was 100% correct.. i ask this because i see that, for example, christian denominations (or whatever), likely have differing interpretations of the same writing.

  But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money.

  Wow. I never thought of this point. So if the beaten slave survives for 2 days and dies on the 3rd day, the master is not to be punished. What a loving arrangement.
  

  I should use this point in my Field service

  Do JWs believe that animals were created to live in harmony? Lion and the lamb

  by Doubledecker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thanks to all who replied to my first post, i appreciate you taking the time to do so.. i left jws for my own reasons as a teenager as i just simply didn’t believe it .

  i am enjoying playing catch up with all the information out there now showing multiple examples of false prophecies , covering up the truth and the jw broadcasting stuff is amazing ( as said before i’ve just ignored the organisation for 30 years ) , it’s totally brainwashing evangelical propaganda.. however i digress .... as a young kid i used to ask , “if in paradise the “ lion will lay with lamb “ and all creatures will live in harmony, why for example does a snake have venom if not to eat another creature ?”.

  like i say i was 10 years old i remember so please excuse the childish question.. but do they actually believe that was gods original plan for animals ?

  King David's Three Choices

  by Jehalapeno in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  editor's note: found this on reddit...thought the meat of the post would be a good post for discussion here as well.. consider the three choices god forced upon david for taking a census.

  these three choices were forced on king david, not for murdering people, not for raping women, not for lying, stealing, or any crime we can think of in our modern world that is repugnant, but simply for taking a census or in other words, counting people.. for counting people, jehovah forced a decision on david that involved the lives of thousands upon thousands of innocent people.. the choices all dealt with the “way” jehovah would kill thousands of unsuspecting loyal worshipers.. 1 chronicles 21.

  “these are the choices the lord has given you.

  Diogenesister I agree. Many of GOD's supposed killing in the Bible may have been natural disasters, superstitiously attributed to God.

  The Egyptian plagues, 70K killed because David took a census......

  Ex JW of 30 years , still messed up from it

  by Doubledecker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi , this is my first post .. i left jws 30 years ago as 18 year old unbaptised youth and after the initial fallout from leaving pretty much put the whole thing in a box and buried it .. however , i am now starting to realise how much the doomsday messages and the ‘them and us’ doctrines that’s fed to you from birth has remained in my core beliefs.. how have others managed to reprogram themselves ?.

  thanks for reading , have a good day .

  Once when you realize that All religions are scams, peace would empower you. Needs a lot of research and open mind thinking
