Bible is good if we look for implied truth

by venus in

thumbs-up gesture doesn’t covey much if we see only four fingers closed and thumb standing upward.

but if we look for the implied meaning, then it is a positive, informal signal indicating a job well done, and saying ‘keep it up.’.

similarly, biblical accounts don’t convey much if we see them as mere accounts.

Why is Venus Targeted always as a Bramma Kumari ? I have never seen any of his/her posts in favor of that religion.

Satan in Heaven

by pleaseresearch in

this has always baffled me.

that is why was satan and his demons allowed to be in heaven for so long after they split from god?.

if we did that then we are out of the congregation, members are shunned and also kicked out of families homes.

BigJ instantly kills Uzzah who tried to prevent the ark from falling as well as mindlessly kills millions of humans on various occasions for petty reasons, but leaves Satan aloof with heavenly privileges until 1914.

Cast Demons to Earth: Big /Small J cast out demons to Earth. This is like a parent redirecting a wicked person to his children's home.

God is Love.

Happy Thanksgiving 2017

by EverApostate in

once upon a time, as a jw, i was afraid to buy turkey during thanksgiving time.

while attending the thursday night ministry school meeting (on thanksgiving day), i was cautious not to mention the word thanksgiving, for fear of bringing reproach to bigj.. now, free at last, my happy thanksgiving wishes to everyone who celebrate this holiday..

EverApostate

Yes, demonizing even Thanksgiving.

Anyway what can we expect form a CULT

Pale.Emperor Meets The Mormons

by pale.emperor in

when i was a jw i was fascinated with the mormon religion.

i never believed a word of it of course, but i was interested in their religion like most boys were interested in star wars.

i’ve read the book of mormon, doctrine & covenants, pearl of great price, book of abraham, watched their videos, read critical books by ex mormons etc etc… (strange at the time that i never did this with my own religion!

EverApostate

Fascinating truths from the above Video. Goosebumps all over. How can I become a Mormon ?

I yelled at a Dub today!

by kairos in

jw
friends

i was walking out of the store and i passed a former jw associate of 20+ years.

"keith"he was an elder, got df'd, lost his wife, got reinstated and last i heard started pioneering!so i see him as i'm walking to my parking spot.. i stop, look him straight in the face and yell from 20 feet away, "you're in a cult.

you're in a cult, dude!".

EverApostate

If your yell made you feel good that is ok.

I would approach this differently. May be striking up a conversation about the various WT cover ups as well as to prove to them that I am happier now than as a JW before.

I too met the Mormons a couple of times after I quit JW.

Once I asked them if they truly believed in the Golden plates and how and why it was later taken away. The funny method by which their revelation was decoded... with some magical hat, stones and stuff. No Black people in their church until the 70's. They said they honestly believed that. Why would they not ?

I told them that "You guys are educated, why cant you do some investigation on your religion and see if your beliefs are Bizarre. "

Hoped this may have touched their ego to do some critical thinking. May be I had sown some seeds of doubt which would have sprouted later.

What is the benifits to living forever?

by Jayk in

can anyone give me a valid reason for it?

growing old is a drag.

the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..

EverApostate

I prefer to live externally without disease and death, but without worshiping a vengeful, egotistic , crazy and blood thirsty god.

I don't think we can count anything as benefits, as all aspects would be fulfilled, supposedly

Why isn't Lazarus my next-door neighbor?

by return of parakeet in

after looking through doug mason's "ransom" thread, i noticed a little discrepancy between dub doctrine and the bible; i.e.

lazarus.. if the wages of sin is death, lazarus paid the wages in full by dying, and when resurrected by jesus, he should then have been a "perfect" man.

after all, he paid his wages for his imperfection -- he died.

EverApostate

Searching for Lazarus like Crazy now. If I find , I would ask for his ID and DOB oops.... and Date of Resurrection.
