@ Poster I was there, left shortly before i got admission to the university, while in Uni, i had a soul search and shortly before graduation, i went back and have no intentions of leaving again EVER. My point? you can leave whenever you so choose to, it is your life and you have an accounting to make personally. As for those parading their ignorance of the beliefs of JWs, i strongly suggest that you research thoroughly. Empirical evidence are replete. Who supports same sex marriage? who is known never to have joined political affiliations in line with what Jesus did? who is known to try and live within the biblical standards yet aknowledging fallibility as flesh and blood? who does the authorities recognize as being law abiding, paying their taxes and conforming within the laws of the land that do not contravene God's clear positions in the bible? Much as i detest joining issues on these religious points, poster should be aware that he has a free exit and can leave anytime. Someone says he shoos away JWs with a request for prayer, i say YES, you are right, we wount pray for you just forthe sake of it. Is God not your father?, do you have issues with going to him in prayer, if you wanted to ask your earthly father for a favour, would you not go to him and seek the favour? Of course if i notice in the course of preaching that you genuinely require and have a need for that prayer, i will seek God's face for you and most matured witnesses know how to draw a distiction between those asking for prayers as a form of sending us away and those that genuinely know the need for it. In the former instance, we owe you no apologies nor regrets. Having gotten to your doorsteps, we have concluded our side of the bargain to 'preach'. To listen or not to listen is your side of the bargain and we will not be held accountable for that. Finally, my extended family has virtually all religious groups from Catholic through white garment, et all. We all relate as one extended family. If for some reasons in your extended family you guys have issues, please do not put it on religion, find ways of resolving your issues in a mature way. I have spoken. |

My parents are jw and I went until I was 21 and I felt the same way. I felt they were way too strict and desperately wanted out. I ended up leaving and now I see what a huge mistake I've done. Everything seems better on the inside looking out but now I see how much I've let go. Now I'm stuggling to go back but its a lot harder to go back then it was to leave. Now I find myself envious of them because they are a lot happier then me. Being a jw is great and everything they say makes since and all the rules they have are there for a reason. I'm studying with a jw now and am making plans to start attending the hall |

rewardobi: @ Poster: It is unfortunate that you allowed your desire to deceive the general public to push you into writing the above. I have to let you know here that you are not a Jehovah's Witness. All Jehovah's witnesses are convinced that all the celebrations you mentioned are not to be celebrated by true Christians from their in-depth study of the bible. Please you are free to leave! Take a pen and paper and write to your local elders requesting that you want to cease to be a member. Your letter will be announced after confirmation that you were truly the one that wrote it.Also, you can just quit! Stop attending our meetings. Please note today's date. We are few days to The War Of Armageddon as taught by the bible. If you were a witness you would have known that you may not have another time for you to come back here and beg Jehovah God for forgiveness for the insult and lies you just heaped on his name and organisation by fabricating these lies.You think you can joke with everything? Just to get attention, you have insulted Jehovah God? Because of nairaland.com? You need to quickly apologise to Jehovah because to be frank if he is going to ever forgive you even after praying, I don't know. So long!PS: As for all the respondents who are not witnesses, search you conscience and of course if you are sincere you will agree with me that this people - Jehovah's servants are the best set of people you have ever met. They don brainwash you finish....sorry for your caged life mtcheeewwwww |

@op. I doubt if you are a Jehovah's witness, if you are, then you ve not made the truth your own. I was in the church, though not in All the churches. I tell you that if you really want to follow what the BIBLE TEACHES, stay with the witnesses, if you want to follow '' the lord told me to tell you (whether is against the bible or not)", please live the witnesses cos they follow the bible's teaching. christmas, easter, and birthdays are celebrations which doesnt have a christian origin. on the part of birthdays, the eg we have in the bible is not from servants of God. the witnesses do not want anything with pagan origin to come into their WORSHIP OF GOD. marry only in the lord was not written by the witnesses, but God did. what any sincere person will do is to say that jw's teaching is wrong with scriptural prove, not coming up with something you cannot have a scriptural backing as if God supports it. |
Re: Am Tired Of My Religion (Jehovah's Witness). Help Me by Yooguyz: 9:06am On Sep 12, 2013 |
JMAN05: @op.do you know that in d past Jw's actively promoted the celebration of christmas. It is claimed that in 1919 Jesus chose the Watchtower Society to be his sole channel for salvation, based on it being the only Organization teaching and practicing truth. Yet numerous practiced of 1919 are now considered to be pagan. This makes mockery of any claim that the Organization had special standing in Jesus' eyes in 1919. The Bible Students actively engaged in and even promoted celebrating Christmas, birthdays and Mothers Day until well after 1919. These were thought out apparently under the guidance of Holy Spirit and explained as acceptable. Now the same Holy Spirit has dictated that they are to be considered pagan or creature worship and those that participate are described as 'ignorant' Christmas "When Jehovah's Witnesses cast aside religious teachings that had pagan roots, they also quit sharing in many customs that were similarly tainted. But for a time, certain holidays were not given the careful scrutiny that they needed. One of these was Christmas." Jehovah's Witnesses - Proclaimers of God's Kingdom p.198 Bible Students celebrated Christmas well after they were 'cleansed' in 1919. The discussion of this in the Proclaimers book lets one draw the conclusion that this was a pagan celebration inherited from Christendom, but subsequently discarded once properly considered. Yet Jehovah's Slave had considered Christmas and not only concluded that it was acceptable for Christians but promoted it as "of the greatest importance." "Even though Christmas is not the real anniversary of our Lord's birth, but more properly the annunciation day or the date of his human begetting (Luke 1:28), nevertheless, since the celebration of our Lord's birth is not a matter of divine appointment or injunction, but merely a tribute of respect to him, it is not necessary for us to quibble particularly about the date. We may as well join with the civilized world in celebrating the grand event on the day which the majority celebrate - "Christmas day."" Zion's Watch Tower 1904 Dec 1 p.364 The following picture is from a postcard photo of the Bethel Christmas meal in 1926. Included in the photo are Rutherford, Knorr and Franz.

U will knw the truth and it will set u free Abeg no vex ooh, I don't intend looking for trouble. If the leaders of your church make it clear that most of the doctrines they keep are just for the jw with reasons and not that they are salvation attached that would have been better, but if I'm right doing those things could actually lead one to hell, that's what they preach i guess. Just of recent, the head pastor and founder of the Deeper life ministry made it clear to his members that their practice was just the Church thing and no heavenly attachment. so they don't go about with the "holier than thou" attitude like you jw. Everything is sin to you guys,...... If you like stay and keep deceiving your selves to be the only ones serving the true God. That's left to you, you'll never get answers to your questions and you'll never exercise your God given Liberty to its fullness. |

@JMAN05 I guess you're using prov 4:18 to justify your answer above and this ““The path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established,” states Proverbs 4:18. Yes, Jesus’ leadership is progressive, not stagnant. Another way to cooperate with Christ’s “brothers” is to have a positive attitude toward any refinements in our understanding of Scriptural truths as published by “the faithful and discreet slave.”” Watchtower 2011 May 15 p.27 “Regarding progressive spiritual enlightenment, Proverbs 4:18 has proved true. It says: “The path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established.” How thankful we are for the progressive spiritual enlightenment we have experienced!” Watchtower 2001 Jan 15 p.18 “IT IS proof of divine wisdom that, in keeping with Proverbs 4:18, the revealing of spiritual truths has taken place gradually by means of flashes of light. In the preceding article, we saw how this text was fulfilled in apostolic times. If the large body of Scriptural truth had been revealed all at once, it would have been both blinding and confusing—much like the effect of coming out of a dark cave into brilliant sunlight. Moreover, gradually revealed truth strengthens the faith of Christians in a continuous way. It makes ever brighter their hope and ever clearer the pathway they are to tread.” Watchtower 1995 May 15 p.15 right? Now ask yourself these questions * what is the intended meaning of prov 4:18? * is WT doctrine getting brighter or changing? *would Jehovah direct a religion to promote falsehood? The concept of brighter light that you're talking about doesn't apply to WT history as doctrine has not refined, but rather it changed. 2 Likes |

WTS has promoted many significant doctrines that were later discard as incorrect, others have changed back and forth, even reverting to their original position n sometimes contradicting a former truth.Consider whether the following change is really a matter of doctrinal light getting lighter: Imagine being the Witness parent of a child that needed a kidney transplant in 1970. Although the Awake! 1949 Dec 22 had described transplants as "wonders of modern surgery", in 1967 God revealed that transplants were wrong in his eyes. The Watchtower 1967 Nov 15 pp.702-704 stated that being now "enlightened by God's word" God's people understood that transplants are against divine principles and cannibalistic. The parents must sincerely have believed they were putting Jehovah first when watching their child die, refusing them the opportunity of possible survival through a transplant. How would that parent feel on reading the Watchtower 1980 Mar 15 p.31 - "There is no Biblical command pointedly forbidding the taking in of other human tissue. It is a matter for personal decision. " The enlightenment of 1967 had proved to be dark, harmful and in need of later correction, a regressive doctrine that resulted in the unnecessary death of members. When a doctrine changes and then reverts back to the original position this is not evidence of light getting brighter, it is evidence of a lack of Holy Spirit directing the Governing Body. 1 Like |
