Did the Watchtower just warn against itself!?!

[CodeRayne]

Interesting, I'm a bible reader but I don't agree with Jesus being the almighty god. I mean it's clear that god used him to create all things as "the master worker". So other would be other than himself because he was the firstborn. Plus the prophecy in Genesis about the "seed" which would denote a son and separateness. Also when Jesus prayed to his father before his death. But arguing about religion is pointless and not really beneficial. Just have to try our best to be good people.

Please add a snapshot of the quotes your are reading, plus the reference dates/numbers, etc. This is good stuff. Thank you for thinking!

Read it friend, you'll be blown away by the story.

[essy111]

Good to see you grown your hair I assume your hair was not allowed to be that long when u were one???

[asearchforthetruth]

@essy111 haha yep, that's actually one of the things that just made me say 'screw this religion'. I actually got 'counseled' and had all my privlages taken away because my hair was too long. Putting in 2 hours of field service every weekend, sometimes 4, going to meetings twice a week, 2 hours each, and studying basically every night, all this I was doing for 'god' (a.k.a. the watchtower) yet I can't be a true 'brother' anymore cuz of my hair length?? BULL SHIT.

[mrscooter711]

@asearchforthetruth Hi please ask yourself < if I am "searching for truth" why am I only finding lie's ? when your out in the field ,watch out for the BULL SHIT, on a search for truth it is hard not to step in it . Good Luck.

[dubaay]

wow; i am amazed, u seem young but religiously inclined; what do you think of islam? have you ever watched ahmed deedat or zakir naik?

[traycox01]

Nicely done actually. They came to my door and asked me if I was still having problems with Adam's sin after reading some watchtower stuff they left me.  I said yes, my problem was that God did not give Adam a chance to repent, he was immediately and forever condemned. They said how do you know he didn't get a chance to repent? I said, because the Bible clearly says he didn't. They said, sometime you need to fill in things. I said that's a no no, they have never come back.

[asearchforthetruth]

@traycox01 wow, that's pretty awesome :) ya know what I've been noticing lately? the witnesses are starting to blatantly say things contradictory to the bible, and not even realize it. Like, 'sometimes you need to fill in things'? really... and then, this guy just said 'jehovah will allow his subjects to think what they like and print what they like, but this does not make them false... in his due time he will make it known." holy hell. ya see the twisted thinking?

[HanDeckardJones]

This religion clearly screws with people because those that leave take so long to reconcile things in their own minds...hence the thousands of exjw posts on youtube! I htink this organisation is destructive and I am drifting away. I read Crisis of Conscience and Captives of a Concept. Tried to discuss with some JW and they can't see the problems in this religion. I also wonder about God..why does he make himself so hard to find? He wants exclusive devotion, yeah?

[ExJWPedo]

got any new stuff buddie thats boring the pants of me

[WakeUpWitness]

It actually does take a minute to step back and look at the whole picture. Plus, you hit the nail on the head about the Society lying to the brothers and sisters. The Change in the Generation teaching is a major example of that. Dude, it makes me so mad that my mom and sisters and their husbands are so wrapped up in the organization, they won't listen to anything I have to say. EVEN THE FACTS! They just name slap me apostate and limit their association with me even though I'm not df'd or disasd.

[asearchforthetruth]

@WakeUpWitness well that kind of sucks, but just remember we're all here to support you, and keep doing what you're doing!! I like what CStheapostate said, were the ones with the REAL truth

[ironjohnlad]

@WakeUpWitness I have JW relatives, and I just concentrate on Love, and maintaining te relationship. I stoped arguing a few years ago, and te relatiosnhip has improved.

[WakeUpWitness]

I highly recommend reading the book Captives of A Concept. It takes alot to do what you are about to do....disassociating yourself. Personally myself, I just decided to drift away and not go anymore. I see no need to disassociate myself. I just decided for MYSELF not to be a JW anymore. I see no need to write a letter or anything. Screw the Kingdom Hall, Screw The Elders, Screw The Governing Body. The whole organization is a sham. If only other witnesses could see it. They are so blind & afraid.

[asearchforthetruth]

@WakeUpWitness I'll take a look at that book... and yup. Screw the whole organization. Witnesses just can't see it cuz they've been so brainwashed, that even when they see the truth, they just can't mentally accept it. Too bad

[PrintedTruth]

I wondered what made a young guy see the light. But I see that the "truth" must have been important to you, because you seem to know more about the bible than the average JW kid. When a person cares about "truth" they tend to see the lies. I am happy to see that you are on your way to finding it. (ps) God bless you! (feels good to say that too)

[asearchforthetruth]

@PrintedTruth Yup, truth really is an important thing :) And yeah, really is cool to be able to say that! So many new things you can do without the watchtower telling you you're gonna die if you do it

[slanelcla]

I wrote my DA letter on Snoopy letterhead. Hope they enjoyed that touch.

[asearchforthetruth]

@slanelcla ha that's awesome

[propagandatechniques]

@asearchforthetruth When they visited to tell me I needed to write a formal letter of disassociation, I told them to go fry an egg.

[asearchforthetruth]

@propagandatechniques haha!! I would have loved to see their faces! (sorry, my stupid phone was acting up, and I had to repost the comment)

[IWannabeJew]

The NIV is for Baptist n00bs. Just use blueletterbible . org and check out the original languages.

[asearchforthetruth]

@IWannabeJew thanks for that link. I just thought I'd use the NIV because it's easier to understand than the King James, which most everyone I know uses or is familiar with. But I'll give that website a shot in my future videos.

[IWannabeJew]

@asearchforthetruth Yeah, I hear that.

I actually still use the NWT for my English translation. That and the Jay P. Green Interlinear.

If you're talking about the Tanakh, though, I consider the Jewish translations like the JPS Tanakh as reliable.

[ShunThisAss]

Perfection!

[asearchforthetruth]

@ShunThisAss lol thanks :)

[LuciousVBogeymanProd]

outstanding. I just facebooked and put this up on TheVastApostateArmydotcom

[asearchforthetruth]

@LuciousVBogeymanProd awesome!!! Thank you :)

[LuciousVBogeymanProd]

@asearchforthetruth LOL, good thing you responded. I just realized I forgot to re-upload the site. Up in a couple seconds.

[asearchforthetruth]

@LuciousVBogeymanProd haha :) cool

[1914watcher]

You are a bright young man, using the WTBTS literature is a great start.

Coming in up in the September Watchtower, the WTBTS will tell all the members, that following the Governing Body is like following Christ. Matthew 24: 23-26

[asearchforthetruth]

@1914watcher Thank you! I'll have to try to get a copy of that, I could probably get one from my mom or sister. But that is just really taking a giant leap to say that THEY are practically christ!! You'd seriously have to be majorly brain washed (which most in this cult are) to be able to believe that. Seriously, it's like me saying I'm god so you have to serve me. I might make a video about that too now :)

[1914watcher]

@asearchforthetruth

Sorry about the typo, Youtube does not offer a editing option. I just get a little fired up and type to fast. 

[asearchforthetruth]

@1914watcher haha no worries, I do the same thing a lot too :)

[inspirediam]

You mentioned that The Watchtower is talking about themselves...that would be projection...they are projecting themselves out to the world; rather than, taking responsibility for their actions. It is kind of like "Who's on first?" Have you seen that skit?

[asearchforthetruth]

@inspirediam oh oh oh!!! I thought you were saying to project my voice better!!! I'm sorry :) But I'll have to watch that skit.

[inspirediam]

Yes, projection...

[asearchforthetruth]

@inspirediam what?
