  Why is this an APOSTATE site?!?

  by LaraK in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i made a big mistake when signing up at this supposed website for jehovah's witnesses.

  after reading some things on this site it has become apparent to me that this site is nothing put another pathetic site for apostates: people who betrayed jehovah, left the truth, and are so bitter about their experiene in the truth, and they are angry just like satan because they know they will very soon be dead at jehovah's hand!.

  this website should be renamed something more fitting like "satan's playground" or a similar name that would get across the message of your site.. sincerely,.

  @LaraK

  So, you signed up without knowing about this site. And you started to read many topics for a while and then you lash out here, without spending your time on Zoom meetings and Virtual Field sevice.

  Apostasy is growing in you. Welcome.

  Bible canon conundrums

  by joey jojo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a topic that i find really interesting- how the bible, in particular, the new testament was compiled and how the jw organisation strives to negate, scoff at and diminish the influence of the catholic church in its development.. here is the official stance of the org: .

  https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/library/r1/lp-e/all-publications/watchtower/the-watchtower-1963/april-15.

  'the roman catholic church claims responsibility for the decision as to which books should be included in the canon, and reference is made to the councils of hippo (a.d. 393) and carthage (a.d. 397), where catalogues of books were formulated.

  If there is really a god, he should communicate to humans in a constant manner.

  Or at least engrave his holy writings on a mountain, where people can’t tamper with it

  And a god who wrote a book, wasn’t able to preserve his name in that. Absurdity at its finest.

  A quote from Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain

  by dubstepped in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my wife was reading this book and telling me how much she enjoyed it and looked up the quote below to share it with me.

  i quite enjoyed it, so i'm sharing it with you, for what it's worth:strange, indeed, that you should not have suspected that your universe and its contents were only dreams, visions, fiction!

  strange, because they are so frankly and hysterically insane—like all dreams: a god who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice and invented hell—mouths mercy and invented hell—mouths golden rules, and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites a poor, abused slave to worship him.

  who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body

  I had been thinking about this a lot. Assuming angels are real, angels have immense power and do not feel pain, not subject to poverty, disease, hunger, death. ANd its all those fleshly humans who suffer those.

  Why this partiality

  How did Adam know what a sword was?

  by phoenixrising in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so if the bible is the inspired word of god and i don't believe it is by any stretch, how did adam when he was kicked out of the garden of eden know what a spinning sword was?

  did adam invent swords?

  more bible non sense garbage.

  The flaming sword still exists and it revolves with astonishing speed somewhere in the middle east. Have faith.

  Jephthah's Daughter

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have noticed that the foolishness of jephthah's vow to sacrifice his daughter gets bandied around a lot as somehow approved of by god.

  i never could understand how people could come to this conclusion.

  if i wrote about something terrible that my son had done, that doesn't mean that i am for that thing.

  @Sea Breeze

  You say that Free will is the cause of all troubles.

  God has Free will and yet he cannot sin. If God created man in his image, he should have created us likewise. How do you explain that

  The flood and wars in the scriptures - waste of lives?

  by menrov in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been thinking and was eventually wondering about the following:.

  did the flood and all wars in the scriptures eventually bear the fruits that god hoped for?

  is evil gone among humans?

  Noahs Flood - Myth borrowed from more ancient myths

  Wars - Most, if not all of the wars and genocides in the Bible are baseless and does not carry any historical proof. Mainly written for religious propaganda.

  you will die.

  i will die.

  those who have gone before us, the great and the small, the powerful and the weak, have shared the common fate of dying.

  Those who cannot accept the reality of their own inevitable death cling onto religion, whether an Egyptian Pharaoh, a Hindu, Buddhist, a Mormon, Islamist, Jew, Christian, or any other.

  This is not even close to the cult I grew up in

  by phoenixrising in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was watching some of the may jw cult broadcast.

  this push to be a movie studio and other things makes this cult seem like something else entirely from what i grew up in.

  they really are trying to use anything they can to hook suckers into being cult members.

  Cults whitewash themselves with flashy things. And that is how they hook up people. Inside its all rotten garbage.

  The Myth About Jehovah as a "GOD of LOVE".

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.

  2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.

  4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

  truth is ONLY evil ones are killed.

  Absolute NO. The Biblical god kills millions of innocent people who are in no way conencted to any Issue or crime.
