  Great points Everyone. This will be helpful for me to save my wife from the cult.

  Yes, the WT interprets the Bible from Cover to cover according to their corporate needs.

  There are a whole bunch of Bible verses that the WT interprets in its own way to:

  1. Suit their agenda.
  2. To make Bible verses less silly/weird/bizarre
  3. To make God appear righteous, Kind and Justified.
  4. To make the Bible appear more practical and applicable for modern times.

  Have given a few here. Please share your thoughts as well as add any, you know.

  God’s creation days were Eons rather than a literal day. If not a literal day how can a morning and evening be - as the Bible mentions - as if in a literal day?

  Snake didn’t talk to eve but Satan did it using the snake

  The sun stood still in Joshua’s battle. WT interprets this as the view from a man’s observance from the earth, whereas Jah would have stopped the earth from spinning.

  Jepthah never burned his daughter as an Offering, rather left her in the temple to serve Jah, as per WT

  When Jesus got resurrected, the Holy saints never got resurrected. This is what an elder told me. The Bible clearly mentions that this happened.

  Jesus says repeatedly “Ask anything and it will be given”. WT interprets this as we should only ask anything for Kingdom interests and Jah would do it.

  Slavery in the Bible. WT justifies this as a necessity in older times.

  Women should not speak in the congregation, as the Bible says. WT bypasses this cleverly by arranging for a conversation with the sisters themselves, in the theocratic Ministry school

  Sick can be healed with the elders anointing with oil. WT interprets this as Spiritual sickness.

  144K is a literal number whereas the tribes and nations are symbolic, as per WT

  144K not defiled by women. Women and defilement here are symbolic. Otherwise, if taken literally, women would be offended. Even symbolic, doesn’t this degrade women?

  Endure or Enjoy??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have we ever noticed how witnesses are constantly being told that life is something that needs to be "endured", rather that "enjoyed"?.

  life is always so tough, so hard, so difficult in "these last days".

  "persecution and trials abound".

  Whenever I hear JWS say that "We are living in Difficult times, I truly wish that they should be taken back in time and left in the middle ages to experience :

  How life was so tough, insecure, No Medical care, Back breaking jobs, abuse, food shortages, partiality, Slavery, No human rights activists to defend, No Electricity, Only horses and donkeys to travel.....

  During my Bible study, in the process of getting sucked into the cult, I was taught more about Satan than Jesus.

  That he is more powerful, may present himself beautiful, crafty, cunning .....Blah blah blah....

  I had left Jah 10 years ago. Seems he is not missing me as he had never spoken to me face to face as he did to Moses.

  Exodus 33:11 So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend

  You Know You're Starting To Wake Up When...

  2. experiences

  you start listening to music deemed "unsuitable for christians".

  you pretend to knock on the doors.

  you explain a jw teaching to someone and realize how ridiculous it sounds.

  Everything that is said positive about the WT, would sound too good to be true.

  Anything the WT condemns would sound silly and ridiculous.

  Field Service would seem silly and reporting that time even sillier.

  Anti-JW movie on Netflix?

  by Ray Frankz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm watching the new netflix movie "come sunday".

  it's one more film about a person who has turning point in life that demands the person to reevaluate his own faith and belief system.

  in this case, the man is a petencostal bishop that gets very famous and has a big church preaching about salvation to heaven and punishment in hell.

  JWs refuse to watch any Cult related movies/Documentaries, as their own cult paranoia kicks in and makes them run.

  Even if they watch, they would view it as one among the false religions.

  Do any of the JWs go out door to door with a territory any more?

  by Spiral in

  2. beliefs

  i actually had a neighbor ask me that the other day (she knows i'm an "ex" jw) and i didn't really know the answer.

  i know there's a bit of cart witnessing going on (small town) and a lot of driving around to return visits.. but are they actually doing territory, not-at-homes, all of that?

  the neighbor said that eight years ago, when she bought her house, the jws were by "all the time".

  If the D2D Territory witnessing is down, it seems the Good news has been preached all over the World and the end is near, any time soon.

  Repent folks and return to Jehovah,

  (Ehhh...Umm.... Pardon Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Singapore and all those banned countries and pretend as if they don't exist)

  No Bible = No God?

  by menrov in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  some doubt about the bible completely, some partially.

  what if the bible turns out to be a product of humans, nothing divine.

  would you still believe in a creator?.

  Why Equate Bible to GOD as if the Bible is a perfectly divine book ?

  Even if there is a God, he/she/it hasn't revealed itself to Earthly humans so far.
