Understanding Armageddon

by Jayk in

so will armageddon be the biblical one we read about or is it probably going to be a government ban on christians that we will perceive as armageddon?

EverApostate

Amazingly, Armageddon is only used once in the Bible and the whole JW world revolves around it. What a fantastic spin and fear mongering by WT

Biblical incidents that bothered me.

by EverApostate in

i wanted to discuss the (supposed) biblical events that disturbed me a lot when i was a jw.

these incidents were just read and discussed in the kingdom hall as if these are normal and justified, which clearly weren't.

perhaps this led to my awakening.

I had always tried to read the Bible as a JW, but would feel very disturbed by the passages and stop reading, within a chapter -guaranteed. Would feel guilty for that sometimes. Now I understand I was trying to swallow a whole herd of swine, all alive. And Its normal for a person to throw up, by doing so.

To sum up, if we need to feel good and comfortable, don't Read the Bible.

Any more points, welcome.

James Mixon, Thanks for elaborating. Your last point was funny.

Half banana,

Glad to see I wasn't alone.

Also, even as a zealot., I never believed the greatest slaughter of all - "Noahs flood" - ever really happened, That is why I never mentioned that.

These incidents were just read and discussed in the Kingdom Hall as if these are normal and justified, which clearly weren't. Perhaps this led to my awakening. Did any of you feel the same? Now I know that most of these events are just imagination and could possibly never have happened. But as a JW we were conditioned to believe that these were real.

Big J killing the First born of all Egyptians because Pharaoh didn’t oblige

Slaves can be beaten, provided they don’t die

Children Mauled to Death by bears, because they made fun of Elisha

Big J kills 70,000 people because David took a census

Uzziah killed instantly by Big J, because he prevented the ark from Falling

Daniel's accusers and all their family thrown to the Lions. (Why the Family??)

Key to some universal truths—Queen Jezebel has it!

by venus in

even wicked queen jezebel knew ‘what is good and what is bad’ because she described those who hurt others for no reason as “good-for-nothing.” (1 king 21:10).

from her comment the following universal truths can be discerned:.

1) everyone is endowed with the knowledge of good and bad, which makes god’s communication with humans unnecessary.

EverApostate

Venus,

Are you a Deist ? Just curious.

2 witness rule

by punkofnice in

i'm gobsmacked.. the 7 rock star popes in warwick know darned well that the 2 witness rule allows child rapists to get away with their crime.. geoff (whacko jacko) jackson was at the australian royal commission and should have seen first hand what a vile man made law the 2 witness rule is.. my question is, why do they still insist on this pervert protecting rule?.

i know it's a highly controlling cult but still...........................stuff my old boots, mate!.

the above is more a rhetorical question.

EverApostate

How dangerous to formulate rules based on some ancient Scribbling.

Recent JW Literature Trolley Experience

by Athanasius in

the j ws have set up a literature trolley in one of our local shopping centers.

since the goodwill thrift store at the center has an excellent selection of second hand books, i stop by twice a month and buy a book or two that catches my interest.

as a result i've become friendly with the j ws who mind the trolley.. usually the minders are two 70 something j w ladies.

We had a quadriplegic man in our New Jersey congregation. And he had cancer too. All his muscles were incapacitated. He cant even swat a fly that disturbs him. We used to carry him to FS and wheel him all along the territory.

Most of the congregation members would avoid him, to escape the burden of serving him. Many a times I used to wonder why the Big J won't cure him. Now I realize, there is nothing such.
