Kingdom songs

by Jrjw in

anyone got any ideas on how to get kingdom melodies out of my head.

keep finding myself singing them without realising and it's getting annoying lol.

hopefully they'll disappear with time.

I had a Protestant background Prior to becoming a JW and those churches have live choir with fantastic tunes.

When I was new to the JW cult , I was really wondering if the songs sung in the KH were really songs. So boring, no live band - without any life or spirit . The background recorded music was so weird to me. And most of the dubs didn't catch up with that tune. Was funny many times.

Had never been impressed with any JW songs except one or two.

Time will make you forget those boring , depressing tunes.

How Many People Here Still Believe In “God”?

by minimus in

jw
friends

because of this site i realized that there were many people who were active jehovah’s witnesses really didn’t believe in god at all.

i’m curious how many people believe in god?

i’m not interested in debating why you shouldn’t have a belief in a god or should.

For me, people who invented cures for Malaria, Typhoid, Cholera, TB , Polio, Leprosy and for all those many tragic diseases and who invented antibiotic are GODS.

And people who serve humanity without any selfish reasons are Gods. Yes I believe in them.

DF’d or DA???

by DATA-DOG in

so, i think i’m going to be df’d, but elders are out of town and no decision has been officially reached.

what would happen if i sent a certified overnight letter and said that i was going to disassociate before they have their meeting??.

i know the two conditions are similar, but i’m just curious... dd.

EverApostate

DF and DA has the same repercussions and they would announce the same way from the Podium, whatever it is.

Just ignore their calls and fade away. Come to the real world and Enjoy the freedom. Educate yourself a lot about true happiness, nature and evolution. Everyday would fascinate you. My Experience.

What was your trigger to waking up ?

by CovertsadJW in

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

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.
