so, serving "the one true god" and being "in the truth" are supposed to make jw's better people.
they are bringing their "truth" to people and that probably makes them feel that they are good to "worldly" people.but they do it to "get their time in.
" they do it no longer in any life-saving mentality.
When the 2004 Tsunami struck and Killed 150K people in Far east, I wanted to contribute for the relief efforts through a major Volunteer Org and asked the elders if I can do so.
They advised me to donate to the WT instead.
Throughout my Life as a Dub, several times I had heard from fellow dubs that contributing to WT is the only and best option, if at all we like to Help the needy
there are a whole bunch of bible verses that the wt interprets in its own way to:.
suit their agenda.. to make bible verses less silly/weird/bizarre.
to make god appear righteous, kind and justified.. to make the bible appear more practical and applicable for modern times.. have given a few here.
Man can't fly above the earth’s Atmosphere.
Jehovah dwells in Pleides cluster.
Those were absolute garbage spew from the WT.
When I was rebelling, I bought out these points to my fellow dubs. They never believed it as I didn’t have the Originals to show them.
Even If I had shown them the Originals, they would have taken it as “The Light Gets Brighter…. “ Nonsense

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.

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?
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.....
over the past several months, i have been assembling a study dealing with the life and times of satan, the devil.
it is my intention to release the first draft in a few weeks.. i have provided the draft of the last chapter at:.

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....
made the mistake of opening the front door today...i was expecting someone to service our central heating...oh dear, it was a sister instead :(.
she tells me jehovah misses me.
it seems god only sees me if i go to the meetings.
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
avon lake ohio.
while new mega church being built right down the street!.
Its like the Solomon temple was put for sale !!
The worship place of the Most High in the Universe is put for sale.
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.
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.
