Were you 100 Percent JW?

friends

were you 100 percent jw?

what caused you to leave the cult?

.

EverApostate

I wasnt a 100% JW during my 11 years in the cult. I can rate may be 75%

Always had these doubts.

There are so many "Worldy" people, who are much better than JWs. How can they be destroyed, becasue they dont accept the WT.

All those WT retro fit prohecies like, the 4 trumphet sounds, Jesus reviewing all religions and choosing the WT in 1918, all seemd too much like a cock and Bull story.

And the story of the talking snake and humans condemned by sin forever seemed like a fairy tale, all the time.

Made some reasearch on the WT and BAM, all the worms came out.

STUDY ARTICLE When a Loved One Leaves Jehovah

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the watchtower—study edition | september 2021. study article 39. when a loved one leaves jehovah.

2 think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!

(jude 6) and imagine how hurt he was at seeing his beloved people, the israelites, rebel against him time and again.

EverApostate

When I got baptized as a JW, did Jah rejoice as he supposedly did for Jesus. NOPE

When I left the WT, did Jah express his grief to me or to my fellow JWs.? NOPE

Then how the heck can they equate leaving the WT as leaving Jehovah

Jesus, without sin and a perfect human being ?

by smiddy3 in

how could he be, regardless of how god impregnated mary, as she was a sinful human just like the rest of us according to the bible.. mary was subjected to the adamic sin like all other humans, so jesus had to at least be part sinner himself.. to believe otherwise is just deluding oneself imho .. the only way jesus could have been really without sin is if god created him the same way he created adam.. what do you think ?

A flock of people making some amendments in their worship practices doesn’t prove the occurrence of a miracle.

As some say here, Sin is a fallacy invented by religions to suppress and dominate humans. And Christianity plays a major part in this downgrading of Humans.

Yes, Jesus cant be perfect as the JW claim, as he came out of Mary.

The whole world counts time by Jesus' existence because he walked out of a tomb

Really ? Even Mohammed made a round trip to heaven on a flying horse, split the moon in two and made water flow from his hands to quench the thirst of his disciples. How about that.

David Splane's apostate warning convention talk

by neat blue dog in

i know this recent video has been talked about already but i just watched it and here are a few things that got me annoyed as usual:.

splane says that if a bible student says he saw some negative information from apostates and asks us to explain it, we shouldn't look at it or address anything specifically, but instead we should tell them to go to meetings and hear what we have to say about ourselves and also tell them to befriend people at the hall.

for any person with integrity and/or intelligence, this is not a satisfactory answer.

EverApostate

First and foremost why do they term anything against them as Poison?

If a poisonous apostate thinking can wreck your faith, sorry brother, your faith is very weak and without any foundation.

How do we determine its poison? What if it’s a life saving medicine? You need not taste anything to check out a Poisonous thing but there are a million other ways to determine if it’s a Poison or a life saving medicine.

Nobody can poison us NOT to believe that the sun or the moon Exists. If that is so, why does an argument against God or the WT so powerful and devastates faith?

HOW A SISTER’S FAITH IS TESTED

by pistolpete in

going to preach in countries where jehovah's witnesses are banned is a sign of faith!

powerful by faith 2021 convention of jehovah's witnesses - friday morning.

the latest video is about a sister preaching in a country where there are only 3 publishers.

EverApostate

The bible says that all nations are like a drop of water in a bucket for Jehovah

And many nations (Saudi Arabia, Singapore, North Korea and many others) ban the Almighty god's most important preaching Work and worship places for decades... And the almighty cant do anything about it. Isn’t that a shame on what they call the Almighty ?

If only the JWs reason out this with an open mind, I think that’s it

Did you think this was it for the Watchtower-(Covid)- Well-They are coming back with even greater ZEAL!

by pistolpete in

so you all probably heard that the awake magazine is back, .

https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/?contentlanguagefilter=en&pubfilter=g&yearfilter=.

and one of my jw relatives said they were told by some elders that meetings and field service will resume before the end of the year.. they said this covid virus was a test, like when the romans breached jerusalem and retreated, only to come back later and sack jerusalem.

The Bible and its use of excesses beggars belief ?

by smiddy3 in

how many accounts of the bibles use of excesses can you recall ?

i will start off with a favourit of mine.. the inauguration of solomons temple and the sacrifices offered .2chron.7 :4-5 , 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep ?

c,mon.

EverApostate

This is the bloody sacrifice of Solomon, in 2 Chronicles 7

142,000 animals slaughtered and sacrificed ? in 2 weeks. Here is the breakdown, if I am correct

71,000 per week

10,142 per day

422 per hour

7 cattle per minute.

Wow, Mind boggling. Could this have happened? Very unlikely. If happened, for what purpose?. To please a god living in the heaven, with all comforts and glory.

My Conclusion: The bible writers were propaganda freaks, trying to establish the glory of their non- existing god. They were Just randomly writing down Exaggerated and impractical numbers. No one in their time would have believed this, until the RC church adopted the Bible as Gods word.
