  Apostate - what does the word mean to you?

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  over a period of time i got to thinking - what does the word 'apostate' mean to me.

  having given it some thought, this is my view;.

  the org has given the word its own definition and basically use it to demonise people and consider them pariahs.. however, the jw meaning of 'apostate' is a mere word and only has power if recognised as such.

  Is the Earth really that great?

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower

  i enjoy watching nature documentaries; david attenborough being my favorite host and narrator.

  that being said, i’ve come to the conclusion that contrary to xianity’s teaching, the earth is not “perfectly placed/designed for life.” .

  when you actually observe the world at large, without blinders, it’s a wonder that life even exists.

  Wild plants grow on abandoned buildings.

  The building wasnt designed for plants, but plants grow there due to favourable conditions.

  Same case for earth. Earth wasnt designed or formed for life. But life arose due to favourable conditions on earth.

  Of course earth has some fatally dangerous conditions too.

  Its up to the species to handle or adapt the dangerous conditions and survive

  The great 1914 turn around

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i must say there is no other religion in modern times that has lied more to their cult followers than the watchtower company and no more brain dead, gullible cult members than the jdubs.. just three examples.

  when russel was in charge 1914 was prophesied to be the end of the system of things with armageddon and the earthly paradise.

  that didn't happen and poof now 1914 was not the end, oh no, it was the beginning of the end.. the second example, the generation that saw 1914 would not pass away before the end came, which meant in all jdubs minds that paradise had to be here in the late 1990's.

  On my way out, I had pretty much known everything about the Org and had discussed about the following with my JW associates. Result. Still, they are collectively (Around 10 Bros and sis) shunning me until now - for 8 years. Most of them are Zealous JW still(Or at least pretending to be) .

  1914 prediction failure

  King of the North and South Prediction absurdities

  Russel’s Pyramidology

  Beth Sarim Absurdity.

  1925 and 1975 prediction failure

  Ban of vaccinations and Organ transplants and revoking it later

  Blood ban and even more ridiculous Blood fraction Policies

  UNO connection and their ridiculous Explanation

  Shunning policies

  Generation teaching flip flop

  The absurdity of reporting “Field Service”

  As Sir82 said, it’s the Sunk cost fallacy for some and fear of losing Eternal Life for some

  Water on Mars (Possibly life)

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this has been an interesting story in the news recently.. just thinking, if in a few years time they drill down and discover water on mars and also some form of life.

  does that for you destroy the bible in anyway?.

  In 1954, Watchtower challenged the then space missions saying that man cannot go beyond the atmosphere of the earth. That was proven false within a few years

  Nowadays Watchtower is very cautious not to refute any scientific claims or theories.

  They even Admit Neanderthals Existed.

  So possibly now they would twist things like “We do not know Jehovah’s Plan in entirety. Possibly he may have created mankind somewhere in this vast Universe too” ….. Like that.

  To answer the title of this topic. I am a born again atheist now and hence life elsewhere wouldn’t surprise me.

  Irrationality of in important teaching

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jesus used illustration to make things clear.

  hence imagine yourself in a situation which reminds you of an important teaching:.

  you are in a super market, and you are told: “someone has already paid for whatever you have purchased”[as churches teach through their ransom sacrifice].

  in late may 2017, i told my parents how i really felt about the religion they had raised me in, and by early june i was out of their house.

  i've done a lot since then.

  i let my hair and beard grow out a bit.

  Congratulation on your path to freedom. Appreciate your boldness and stand for the truth.

  Truth = Reality as we observe in this natural Universe and goes against all religions.

  Explain why you are happy if you believe there is no afterlife vs when you joined JW's

  by Bad_Wolf in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one thing that has intrigued me are so many who have left, who are wholly convinced everything in existence is merely by chance now, also claim they wouldn't want to live forever, and perfectly fine if this is the only life.

  now, i would understand that if you were raised into the religion.

  i was raised into it.

  I am happy because, I made an extensive research on religions and found that all these eternal life, paradise, Heavan , hell, god, satan are nothing but imaginations and wishful thinking. In short they are gibberish.

  So better be happy with the reality out there.

  The Latest Thing Waking People Up...

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  since i woke up and left i've been contacted by others i knew from my youth who've also left the cult.

  also people around the world on facebook adding me out of the blue because we have mutual friends and they occasionally ask me stuff or share their story.. what i've noticed in the vast majority of cases, is that people are waking up not because of the arc or doctrine but apathy.

  active jws are becoming less and less interested, less and less bothered.

  Those who dare to do a little critical thinking would be fed up and leave.

  But the majority of Jws are too afraid to think or they wouldnt leave due to famiy reasons.

  And I estimate this religion would survive for a while
