  What was your trigger to waking up ?

  good afternoon , .

  i wanted to ask everyone here , what was your trigger to waking up ?

  i have been waking up for a long time , but in looking back it’s hard for me to look at one event and say “ ah ha “ , i think mine is like a slow leak - like a crack in a damn - and then hold on , because after that it’s just a flood of information.

  Also to add one more, I was advised to donate to the WT instead of helping the poor and needy. Man, that sounded very rude to me.

  The "Imperfect Men" Argument

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the most common "defences" of jw organization is that "the brothers" are imperfect yet still strive to follow god's word.

  "sure, they make mistakes," so the argument goes, "but so did god's people in the past, including in bible times.

  " the key point is their readiness to keep studying god's word and learning from their mistakes.".

  redvip2000, Exactly you spoke my mind !! The Pope could very well defend their cruel Inquisitions and Witch Burning/Drowning , claiming they are imperfect

  redvip2000 and Steve2, Thanks for the feedback. My wife donates to the WT on a monthly basis and I am the only breadwinner at home. We have a frugal lifestyle and I am trying to prove to my wife that our hard earned money goes for the GB's Luxurious Quarters, Chauffer Driven cars, 5 star Hotels, Child abused cases and Business class flying.

  They are imperfect.... agreed but they are the only ones guided by the Holy Spirit, acting as the channel of communication between God and mankind, as per their own argument.

  Then why the heck do they make false predictions /reasoning / claims ? So what is the part of the Holy spirit then ?

  Does anyone have any evidence that the GB travel in business class when Flying ?

  I had been arguing about this with my JW wife for a very long time and she vehemently denies it.

  I had never flown other than in an Economy class, all my life and cannot afford more than that.

  Someone, somewhere, sometime wins the Lottery and its very tangible. They get a multi fold for what they paid.

  But religions are just scams. They get everything from you, promising you of multi fold returns, but never give back any.

  The real reason the Watchtower Magazine is studied

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  the watchtower study is not real bible study.

  it is a study to introduce wtbts beliefs,doctrines, and practices.

  just think for a moment!

  Bible is a book of ancient myths, superstitions, fables, Ignorance and arrogance.

  And a bunch of Guys, self proclaiming as GB, translating and interpreting the Bible for their own advantage.

  yesterday, i had my sister come over to tell my mother and i that she will no longer have anything to do with us, because we need to come back to the meetings, it’s what jehovah wants, and hands her a letter to read and asks for a final hug.

  my mother has been dealing with a terrible lost of dad since july, and has been very ill with stress because of it.

  i no longer belong to the organization either, and i have been helping my mother out thru this ordeal, it is just as rough on me.

  Most of JWs are not Knowledgeable about who the GB members are. My still in wife and mom don't know even one GB by name. All they do is, follow instructions.

  Recently my mom is pressurizing me a lot to return to the "Truth" again. I think there is tremendous pressure to lure back Ex members.
