i've come across a jw friendly article about watchtower predicting smartphones in the 20s.. .
of course, in the comments section there are a lot of jws freaking out saying "there is no doubt that this is the only true organization!
", "thanks jehovah that used his faithful and discreet slave to tell us some useful information about the future!
Well , during that time I think landline telephones as well as Wireless technology were already in use. So mixing both and foreseeing a new technology, is not a marvel.
Albert Einstein predicted that gravity bends Light. And this was technically proved several years later. So Einstein was guided by Holy spirit ?
can anyone explain to me please about the statue in the daniel prophecy coz i've always been curious about what people have discovered about it?
do the jws have the only explanation?.
I remember studying this Daniel Book with great reverence and admiration, when I was new in the cult.
There is an incidence in Daniels Book, that disturbed me a lot. Daniel is rescued from the Lion's den miraculously. OK. Then the King orders Daniels Conspirators and their family to be thrown into the Lions pit. But Why their families ?? . And Daniel, a righteous guy never objects to it
Now, I believe this book was written by some mindless person, just writing down his futuristic fantasies.
Trying to interpret the Book of Daniel... Well anyone can interpret any way they want it, tying all so called prophecies to any similar events.
recently i talked to an elder about this type of witnessing.
i’ve known him for many years and he is a very honest upright man.
he marveled at how many people have become baptized in the last couple of years because of cart witnessing.
I have seen the most cart witnessing in New York city than anywhere else. Its purely a time counting strategy.
Ha...what an insult to Jesus and that Big J.
at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.
its not such a big stretch of the imagination to think that jim jones or david koresh used such reasoning to convince their followers to do what they did, to have absolute faith in what they were saying was from god.
When I was in, an elder used to tell me that we may be instructed by the WT to go to some remote islands to get saved, when Armageddon happens. Was quite thrilled by that, at that time.
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.
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.
i was surprised that there are half (or more) million dollar estates the gb lives in.
gated communities.
close to the warwick site.

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.
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.
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.
