My favorite video from the 2019 convention

by George One Time in

i love this video, not because it promotes jehovah's love.... but because it indirectly discusses a subject that helped me to question my beliefs.. https://www.jw.borg/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwbcov_201905_11_video.

(creation reveals jehovah's love).

it is the first clip, and it is about how elements are formed.

Here are a few points to consider regarding astronomy and Bible.

Why doesn’t the Bible talk about some basic astronomy like…

The Earth revolving around the sun

The Planetary system.

How the sun works.

Our sun is also a medium sized star, but the Bible writers are ignorant of this

Instead of mentioning that Solomon had 600 wives and 300 concubines, if the Bible had explained the above info, it would have been much Delightful!!

Also, that a good catch that the heavens would perish (Psalms 102:25,26) but the JWs would explain that as Figurative speech.

You say you are an apostate. Then why do you need that non sense ? Just curious.

by Fadeaway1962 in

I got into the cult in 1997.

Several times, I used to have this question. Why did Jehovah punish adam and eve and all their offspring’s for once act of disobedience. It always sounded as Injustice

Then the way Jah supposedly handed the situations. The plagues of Egypt, the genocides and killing of innocent people for petty reasons.

Then it was in 2008, that a fellow witness of mine told me about the 1975 fiasco. OMG, I didn’t have a clue until then that the WT had created such an anticipation for 1975 and then when it didn’t happen, threw the blame on its members.

In one WT study, during 2009, there was an article about the bears tearing up children because they mad fun of an old man. The WT conductor justified this act and said that those children deserved that punishment. That was the WTF moment for me.

Then I started to research more about the Bible and WT simultaneously.

Found out that Bible is Garbage and WT is a Garbage tower built on a garbage landfill.

I disassociated in 2011. Happy atheist from then on.

my wife and i are not religious nor do we want to be.

we are very set in our spiritual beliefs.

we have worked with a jw who's family have been like a part of our family for 6 years.

EverApostate

LongHairGal of course, it would be heart breaking to see our children abandon us when they join a cult.

Had seen this on the news in India, where both the daughters of a family joined a hindu cult, shaved their heads and began to serve the cult leader in the Ashram.

The Parents filed a case to rescue the daughters but the law could not do anything as it finally came down that the daughters were adults and joined the cult in their own free will.

NO. NO and a BIG NO. Dont allow the kids with JWs. JWs are programmed like Robots to brainwash people and pull them into the cult. Even if its a kid, they wont bother. All they have in mind is to recruit people for the cult and they would do anything for that

Eventually your kids may turn against you when they decide to join the cult

May WT study edition: full of king of North and South / Rusia

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

jw.org is on collision course with russia.

the may wt study edition is full of prophesy related to the time of the end and what we have read so much in isaiah and jeremia bookstudy publications.. they found their enemy again.

jw.org needs enemy's to exist.

EverApostate

I think in JW history, King of the North was Portrayed as:

Napolean Bonaparte

Hitler.

USSR

Russia (Current)

Good luck to WT.

Hello Trolley JW's...

by The Fall Guy in

...at 1 peter 3:15 it says that if someone asks a christian about their christian hope, they should always be ready to explain it - with mildness & deep respect.

may i ask you about just one belief which jw's have?.

jw's have been instructed that god & jesus personally selected mr. rutherford and several of his associates as the first 'faithful slave' 101 dalmations years ago, in 1919. .

EverApostate

1) Who actually told you that they'd been selected by God & Christ

Not only JWs, ask any spiritual Gurus who claim to be Gods men . They would say that GOD Secretly tells them so. And that would be a conversation stopper.

THe gullible would beleive. THe shroud ones wont.

When many of the GB are dead in 10 years

by HiddenPimo in

what will be their new plan?.

EverApostate

It must be extremely hard for an individual who has spent a lifetime believing something to admit to themselves that they have been misled all of those years .
Is it pride ? stubbornness ? embarrassment ? guilt ? that prevents a person from admitting that to themselves ?

Yes, Any one or more of it.

Add Fear to that. What if JW is true despite all their false teachings. Will I lose my eternal life

Words, phrases ,that do not appear in the Christian Greek Scriptures /New Testament that Jehovah`s Witnesses use.

by smiddy3 in

where does one begin ?.

jehovah`s witnesses pride themselves as being a bible based religion ,that their beliefs and practices are all bible based ?.

words & phrases jehovah`s witnesses use or have used that are not in the bible.. organization.

EverApostate

Publisher - That word sounded a misnomer in all my JW life.

To my understanding a Publisher is "a person or company that prepares and issues books, journals, music, or other works for sale"

How can an active JW be called a Publisher. Cult Terminology.

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.
