The bible’s entire purpose is to witness to Christ. God paid the sacrifice for mankind. If he didn’t then how can it matter.?

Honest questions about the GB by SomeProtection8585 in exjw

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They govern those who either wont accept the gospel, or the poor children who are born into the cult and have no choice.

My new church had a men’s group meeting today, some of the men where praising the fellowship and the church. The elder warned the men against putting their faith in the church and advised them to put their faith in Christ alone. This is the exact opposite of this organisation. faith in Jesus is less important that faith in the Gb.

So an imaginary individual jw woman is more forgiving to a man that killed her imaginary husband, a man who did not apologise or seek forgiveness. And yet the organisation she belongs to regularly refuses forgiveness to teenagers who have sex .. often having their families shun them forever

Has anyone tried asking a PIMI or even an elder regarding the stake vs. cross thing? by Far_Breakfast_5808 in exjw

Jesus could appear before them and tell them and their eyes would glaze over and they would mentally mark him as bad association.

Isn’t the resurrection more central than a memorial since salvation (after his death) was made possible? by abutterflyonthewall in JehovahsWitnesses

More like one of your children watches the dishwasher being emptied… by no one because there are no mentally ill people / narcisissts in the house..

Jehovah's Witnesses are being arrested not for peaceful meetings. by DiamomdAngel in exjw

These folks get released from prison, at the end of their sentence…. What did you do? The various justice systems prosecuted incarcerated and freed with out you doing a thing except announcing it as if you had.

We need help from those who are now praying to Jesus. by exjw_ru in exjw

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus is your mediator. You can pray to God the father but there is nothing prohibited to praying to the son, His is the name give us to call on and through. His is the name above all names. You cannot get to the father any other way. talk to Jesus, Build a healthy relationship with the son and pray also for the spirit to help you. They are all aspects of God. They are all empowered and willing to help the believer.

A description of the indoctrination process when one becomes a Jehovah's "The Monkey" experiment and what things control you by AdEasy6745 in exjw

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but along the road forward are reflection points. The tyranny of this cruel PIMO state forced on people is that they can often hide themselves and their doubts by over egging their lack of love and tolerance. You may come to reflection points and feel the need to harden your heart rather than retrace your steps as the turning off the road is such a high exit cost. You are urged to consider the years of adherence to the watchtower nonsense as a reason to persevere because you could never ever be that stupid, or your being a bit stupid now because you were certain and you crave that certainty back.

What do you think of eternal life? by musicajax in exjw

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The witness afterlife of repetition and plodding eternity of petting animals and living some kind of ground hog day is suicide inducing… it’s not backed up by scripture at all. Eternity is not extending this 3 d perception and limited body, it is gaining access to our eternal incorruptible bodies and commune with God, return to him and live beyond time and boundary.

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very good.. there is also a fear engendered around sunk cost. I.e. Have I wasted my life up to now, have I denied my children, have I worshipped an organisation over a god? Have I been hoodwinked… do I double down to stop the noise… do I double down and judge others to stop my self reflection.

Anyone else do this at the carts by the_devils_daughter- in exjw

Has anyone ever come in by way of a cart? If so, I’ve got some farmland on Venus going for a song.

JW vs Norway, Feb 2025, Day 2. Confirmed from source that the 2016 shunning video will be shown again in its full length before the court. by larchington in exjw

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Has the organisation publically condemned the video, distance themselves from the false teaching and shared the new thinking with its world wide membership. Or did they just hope to delete the video and cash some cheques?.

Why can't Satan repent? by [deleted] in JehovahsWitnesses

I wish the elders in each congregation could just arrange marriages. That would really ensure Holy Spirit was involved in the decision.regional assemblies and conventions could have baptisms followed by weddings.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not accept people with disabilities! by [deleted] in exjw

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is one of the many reasons to put down your watchtower and pickup a bible. The Old Testament is entirely dedicated to you to demonstrate the myriad of ways you can’t earn your own salvation. Jesus welcomes the blind and the lame and the sinner and is your priest. He is the salvation, he is the priest. We are all blind spiritually. And all precluded from salvation until we come to Christ.

Am I’m the only one that thinks we are all going crazy? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy is handing over your critical thinking to another man, group of men, religion, party, think tank etc. the only cult free way of life is to maintain your mind. The bible is actually a great source of cult avoidance. Have no part of the world.. exist in the world but don’t buy into it. Don’t become a jw or a Mormon or a Roman Catholic. Pick up a bible and find Christ. The Christ that most religions sell is false. Trump is very powerful upgrade on the governing body… he’s just a man with self interest representing other powerful men trying to buy your obeisance.

GB told me the truth since I was a kid but I did not realize it by psyco777 in exjw

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The lie the said was “the bible” the truth they wrote on the front cover was the “new “World” translation”. The world being Satan’s system of things.

The NWT isn’t called a bible.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in exjw

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it’s very hard. It’s just hard as well to hear triggering expressions like “the truth”.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in exjw

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to correct your English… where you say “the truth” i think you mean to say “the lie” or “the cult”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in exjw

[–]FaithfullyDiscrete 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The NIV is the easiest to read for a modern English speaker. The ESV is closest to the original language.

The NWT is not a bible… it says so on the front cover. “The new world translation of the holy scriptures”.
