do religious believers have too many privileges

by WildeLover in

i am sure that jws will use this as an impending sign that the beast will turn on babylon and ban all religions.

it will feed thier persecution complex quite a lot!.

The watchtower is still part of the ankle since they have covered their alliance up!

Your favourite WTS publication?

by LoveUniHateExams in

i realise that starting this thread may make me as popular as a ginger stepchild but was there any wts publication that you liked, or at least comfortably tolerated?.

my memory may be deceiving me but i think the greatest man book was pretty good, leaving out the gruesome detail of the crucifixtion and wts doctrine.. also, can anyone tell me the list of books that ray franz authored/co-authored?.

thanks.

Really liked the creation book and isaiah's Prophecy, the second one. Now that i know everything i know, it is kind of hard to really like anything they print. I mean, i could realize that whatever book is clever at their true motivation but of course not admire it like I once did. But I'm sure that is the case with almost everyone here.

Ever notice how JW's can attend a talk or Convention and remember nothing?

by Wasanelder Once in

how many times have you asked a jw who has attended a public talk how the talk was, only to be told it was so great!

yet they cannot remember the title nor any one single point except that the brother was "funny" or was good with illustratiions or some other vauge point?

and conventions weren't far off either.

"So by that line of reasoning then, all of those supposedly "momentous" gatherings in the early part of the century that witnesses go on about continuously were in reality not that important after all!?!?"

In reality no meetings whatsoever for jws are important unless they are about money (which in the GBs mind is the rule of all godness from jehova)

"of course,a close relationship will not last if one person does all the talking.

(in this case it is me talking to god)just as friends enjoy two-way communication,(right on)we should allow god to speak to us(yes i have allowed him to speak but he says nothing)and we should listen to him when he does.

(iam still waiting for him to say something).

Accoring to jw.org, God speaks to people through all watchtower publications so if you do not read them then the almighty has no words for you. so cultish

A short list of inconsistencies

by All for show in

jw
friends

does anyone have a short list of inconsistencies or can write some out for me, from both the bible and wt doctrine.

things such as: jobs test and noah's ark not being enough for gods sovereignty, why not just let adam and eve die without having children, tower of babel after the flood, jws can die at armageddon yet even satan gets more time.

the ultimate stopper for me is when people say its about jehovahs kingdom and sovereignty and we preach to save the wicked.

looter

Don't really think that there is a scripture that says all that but that's the whole reason for the jw religion because of the Jehovahs Kingdom, sovereignty, and preaching to save beliefs is what they think. It is their perspective even though their source hardly commands or even says such things

shortsighted subjective thinking...

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

i overheard a comment recently at the meeting.

it was said how beautiful jehovah had made the earth and how awfull would the earth be if we didn't have the green plants and vegetation?.

but surely as an indigenous species of this planet we would always find our home beautiful?

looter

agree. We would have no choice other than to accept our home planet even if it did look like some other planets. Most humans are open minded enough to obtain the look of dirt, dusk, and other materials that we view unsightly in the present. But seeing how you said that if the earth was always with those specific features, then again, we'd all think that they are beautiful and all humans would not be able to think of anything else better for our Earth. just like we do now.

Reject "worldly" fantasies, pursue Kingdom "realities"!!!

by DATA-DOG in

have you had the pleasure of hearing this doozy??

i believe it was presented at the circuit level first, it has filtered it's way down.. the poor eldub opens with this definition of the word fantasize:.

"to conceive fanciful or extravagant notions, ideas, suppositions, ect.

looter

i guess it is a Huge reality that Satan is controlling everyone who is not a Jehovahs witness..

WT Study Article Nov. 23, 2014--Adam understood "day" to be 24 hours

by Cadellin in

interesting admission in today's wt: adam may have understood "day" (as in "in the day you eat from it, you will positively die") to be a literal 24-hour period.

i don't think the wt has ever said this before; the usual emphasis is that jah meant it as a figurative day, a day from his standpoint which is 1,000 years (and the article does state that, later).. however, if adam understood god's warning to be carried out in a 24 hour period, and god did nothing to alleviate that, then who did the lying?

actually, regardless of adam's understanding, the question still stands but moving toward an admission of the use of day in that context to be 24-hours only makes the question even more valid.

"they don't abide in TRUTH which is JESUS ... so there's the result of adding and substracting to the scriptures."

i Like that term because of the fact that they have done this so many times. But the sad part is that no matter what they their opinion on what the bible is about, their followers will always have an unconscious one-hundred percent belief in them.
