Religion in the USA and Elsewhere

by Joe Grundy in

trying to follow media reports in the us and elsewhere, a question occurred to me.. in the uk, religious beliefs are largely irrelevant to most people.

even those who claim adherence seem to do so in a fairly vague way and it doesn't seem to make much difference.. in the us (it seems to me) it's a much bigger issue.

the evangelical christian movement seems quite powerful politically in various iterations ("family values" etc.

EverApostate

USA has the best freedom of speech and freedom of religion, among the many nations I know of.

Is that a reason that cults flourish here. Does anyone know ?

NWT Bible Words index Jehovah 80 times , Jesus 8 times .

by smiddy3 in

the new testament or as the jw`s like to call it the christian greek scriptures are all about christians bearing witness about jesus christ and his kingdom and that the name that is to be above every other name in heaven and on earth and under the earth is none other than jesus .php.2:10. nowhere in the nt are christians instructed to be witnesses of jehovah ,they are to be witnesses of christ jesus .. the jehovah`s witnesses and their new world translation of the bible are preaching a doctrine that is not in the bible and certainly not in the new testament.. 1tim.6: 3-5 proves that it is the governing body members that are those that are mentally diseased /obsessed with wrong thinking.. the fact that jesus is only mentioned 8 times in the bible word index and jehovah is mentioned 10 times more, 80 times proves just how out of touch with biblical christianity jehovah`s witnesses really are.. mat.15:9 they teach commands of men as doctrines .and go beyond scripture..

EverApostate

Jehovah = Pure fiction

Jesus = Semi Fiction.

Hence it doesnt matter how many times who are mentioned.

Just a thought

by moley in

just a hypothetical question.

if the society was right and armageddon came a knocking would you want to live in a society run by the org and bully elders.. would rather die at armageddon.

i would.

EverApostate

If the society was right and Armageddon came a knocking would you want to live in a society run by the org and bully elders.

I would live to see if the conditions promised are real. But would very soon be identified as an apostate, as I hate meetings and relentlessly praising Jah.

BS stories in the publications

by Billzfan23 in

this is an example of a story that just strikes me as funny from their publications:.

"wilson, a christian from ghana, was notified that in a few days, he would be fired from his job.

on his final day at work, he was assigned to wash the private car of the managing director of the company.

EverApostate

I thought the governing body was one pack of cunning wolves. Seems they are idiots too, to write such a story.

What are YOU depending on for Salvation? New Video

by JW Answers in

many groups (jehovah's witnesses, mormons, sda'..) false teachers and deceivers today rely and depend on good works, their own righteousness, keeping the law, having a certain lifestyle or behaviour, being faithful in service and/or being baptised to save them from their sins.

however, all of the above according to god's word, will never save a soul.

in this video, i cover most items which people today try and depend on to save them from their sins.

EverApostate

Sin, salvation, resurrection, redemptions, Eternal life are all fictional and carries no substance.

Taking children out on the ministry

by Freedom rocks in

can i ask your views on taking children out on the ministry?

.

do you have any experiences you can share of things you as a child/your children/grandchildren have witnessed on the ministry that they shouldn't have?.

EverApostate

Weekends are the greatest time of Joy and fun for kids, atleast that’s how I grew up.

I know a JW Uber lady that would take her new born baby, in a stroller for FS , rain or shine. I would term this as child abuse.

Really sorry for all those JW kids - who are dragged into the neighborhood - all to do a corporate cult work.

by minimus in

jw
friends

one of my best friends is in the security business.

he told me the other day of how the watch tower has been in contact with his good friend and business associate.

evidently they are inquiring about putting cameras into every kh so that they can do 24 hour monitoring.

EverApostate

Cameras are an extra Security measure, in addition to the angels that Protect Jehovahs (People and Hall) property with flaming swords

JW's Would Stay With The Org Even If 1914 Was Dropped

by pale.emperor in

i asked the question on quora: .

if the governing body abandoned the 1914 teaching, would you leave jehovah's witnesses or you would remain a member regardless?.

EverApostate

IT takes courage and some common sense to get out of the cult. JWs are brainwashed to supress those.

Why people wont leave, no matter what happens. Its all in one word. FEAR.

Thought Provoking Question to a JW?

by Solzhenitsyn in

did jesus ever utter the name jehovah?.

and if he didn't what are the implications?

nwt answers don't count but feel free to use the kingdom interlinear.

EverApostate

Why does your religion demand your preaching hours to be reported. Does the Bible ever mention that ?

Do you keep a record of the time you spend with your loved ones ? Wouldn't that be silly ?

Isn’t reporting time, a corporate arrangement (To get paid basically)
