Ever wonder how to be "saved" as a JW?

by sir82 in

i was searching for something on the wt online library, and was struck by all the requirements a jw has in order to be "saved".. want to see a partial list?

all these found by searching for "salvation depends" on wol.

just do all 26 things, and you too can be saved!.

EverApostate

To Summarize: Salvation depends on your unquestioning faithfulness to WT

EVERY Religion has Hypocrites- even the TRUE One!

by MuchCloserLook in

so, if you expect to find 'saints' with halos, you will never find real christians.. after over 30 years of being a jw, there are many things about the org that disturb me- yet no one else even acknowledges the only true god, as jesus referred to him.. not a 'they' or 'them' ('trinity')- but him!and he has always had the name jehovah (yehovah in hebrew)- even though the koine greek had no version of it when the nt was written.. so among the many things real christians have to endure- is often each other!

@MuchCloserLook Your suggestions in Bold

First, EA, is seeing if God exists in the 1st Place.

Is there a tangible method to find out ?

Then, if you see He does, determining if He ever gave mankind guidance.

This is based upon the the First Question which has no real Evidence or outcome until now

Examining all the 'Holy' books- only ONE stands out as real.

Which one is real. How does it stand out as real among all ?

Finally, praying to God for understanding , then reading it starts the process!

Which God ? Is there a proof that your prayers are answered or atleast heard ?

Everything then falls into place!

Who is considered more bizarre?

by incognito2014 in

jws or mormons.

from a public point of view not from people within the religion as that would be obvious.. examples of extreme beliefs or behaviour would be useful..

EverApostate

Jesus and Jehovah appeared to a guy called Joseph Smith who gave him the golden plates, which Joseph later translated with a Magic hat and god then took back the golden plates and Joseph revealed the ultimate truth that Jesus visited the Americas sometime after his resurrection and that the Book of Mormon is a supplement to the Bible. And Mormons would baptize the dead and wear holy under wears.....

That is more super Fun than the JW beleifs

So the most important work in the Universe -Field Serivce of JWs

And The most important Worship in the Universe - Worshipping Jehovah at Kingdom halls, is now turned upside down.

A microscopic virus has proved that its mightier than God and angels

Remember the Revelation book?

by wozza in

i recall when it was released ,that's when i was a drone, how excited i felt at the prospect of reading it and formulating ways to sell it at the homes in my area.. i thought, finally a book to explain the last book in the bible and indeed one that the churches seemed to want to leave alone!.

i sold quite a few probably because of my enthusiasm and can still remember clearly the first day when i went knocking on doors with it ,and it's been decades since.. but over time it lost it's shine and my mind started to question the explanations in it due to the scene of other things being changed in the jw beliefs.. do you remember they flogged that book so many times in the book studies even when it was found to have "newer light " eclipsing it!.

who else remembers the printed pages with the official corrections to insert into the book ,so many that the book collapsed to be of no relevance anymore really.....what an embarrassment!.

EverApostate

The Bible book of revelation was written by a mentally disturbed person. Who else would write that beasts would come out of the sea, Killer Grasshoppers, blood filling the earth unto a horses height, Winged creatures in heaven, women being corrupted etc…

This book was clubbed into the Bible after some lengthy arguments and debates, as I understand.

And the WT wrote a whole lot of interpretation for that Book - which thrilled millions of Jws for a time – and which are almost out dated now.

Time changes everything

Are We Living In The Last Days?

by Vanderhoven7 in

just received this note out of the blue from a pimi jw.

how would you respond?.

hi vander,.

EverApostate

Men will be lovers of money and themselves: History says that any given society in any timeframe had always had people like this

Plagues : Always had plagues in history. In fact the mortal rate was even greater before becasue people didnt understand the root cause.

Earth Quakes : Does any geological society say that Eartquakes have increased since the 20th century. No. These were always there. Even a mild earthquake in any part of the world is recorded and published now. Thats the difference. Why do earthquakes occur in the first place ? Earth wasnt created good ? Manufacturing defect?

Good news will be preached in all the earth : Really. What about countries where JW are banned ?

Mocking about the last days: Christians have been saying that the time they are living are the last days, for 2000 years. What else to do other than mock it

The whole fucking ransom thing is hard to square up with the facts

The whole concept of this Biblical ransom is idiotic , barbaric and a total non sense

is this real? Wife got an email from here group elder about daily check in's

by goingthruthemotions in

so this elder is super brainwashed, as is his wife.

she actually made a comment that she wished antmo 3 was her dad and that he is so cool.

oh my god, i threw up in my mouth.

EverApostate

Even my PIMI JW wife has daily zoom calls. THe whole purpose of this daily check is to keep the dumbs to give a sense of security and make them feel that the Org is so loving, so that nobody strays out.

The 8 G.B. members - just LIARS, or are they an EVIL SOURCE?

by The Fall Guy in

i'm only quoting the org's force-fed "food at the proper time" which friends and family had to swallow!.

it-2 p. 1027 spiritism - "and in the christian greek scriptures the statement is made that those who practice spiritism “will not inherit god’s kingdom.” (gal.

EverApostate

When a common JW apostate like us can see through all the lies, deceptions, cover ups of the WT, do you think the people who run this show are not aware of these ?

just LIARS, or are they an EVIL SOURCE

Consistent liars are Evil
