a couple questions for everyone here (page 4)

Murray Smith

I got to get ready for the meeting now it starts in like 30 minutes

Deservingone26 . . . . are you mocking the people here? . . . I might have to change my mind about you

still thinking

It really doesn't matter to me whether Deservingone26 has another agenda or not. They were good questions and there were some fabulous answers that I learnt a lot from. So thanks, Everyone

No argument there still thinking . . . but this kid has made a decision that even according to (his) own posts is totally illogical . . .

I feel like there are alot of ppl in the world who would be better off being in the witness world, so preaching to ones who are looking for some kind of purpose in life will be better then me just doing what i am doing now.

not much consideration for his future cult victims . . .

Internet and communication age. Why do people post on facebook so much or myspace? I feel your questions are angeled to judge and make people feel bad, just because your perspective of the issue is not the same. Personally, I post in areas of like minds and information I like to read or write about. When you leave, can you do the board a favor and not post one of those "moving on threads." I see those like the floaters after a good crap, best seen flushed away. As I have said many times here, "You're not really here, your there. So do not say good-bye from a place that only your typing resides. Your life is on the other side of that keyboard."

Very worrying. Can you really believe that someone else needs to provide you with a purpose in life? Even if so, the self-deluded old men in Brooklyn are a very poor choice.

I feel for this kid. I remember being young and what a confused mess I was. Sometimes I think I'm not much better now.

He's obviously got some sense about him. He knows that life dosn't lie in partying every weekend getting drunk and taking drugs. But he has nothing else to compare that too.

So he seems to me, to be comparing what he knows and choosing what he sees as the better of the two evils. And his comment of preaching to people who want a purpose in life as apposed to what he is doing now. Just says that he feels like there are no other choices.

Poor kid

I have to admit question # 2 was not worded right and it was a bit rude but i appologize about that because after reading everyones posts i understand why people post so much, the main goal of this site is to let people discuss different jehovah witness issues, some people have been hurt badly by some of the member of the jw religion and this place provides a place where they can have others that can relate to their issues.

I myself do want to help people see that there is more to this life and by following gods commands we will be highly rewarded, some people are fine with dying within the 70 to 80 years of life and I have grown to accept that as well but living my life to the fullest but also following gods commands is something i dont personally see as that hard, the only thing that has been holding me back is my love for partying and i know that life is not all about that.

I say that some people are better off in the witness world because the witness world gives you a structure to go by it gives you steps to take and keeps you busy and some people look at the world and see nothing but bad so they join in with the bad because they say they only have one life to live and were gonna die soon anyway, they get involved in different acts of crime, sexual acts, harm against there body (drugs,alcohol and many other things) when you hear of crazy stories of the different things people do does it ever make you wonder what they were thinking? You honestly dont believe that if maybe they had been introduced to god, example to jehovahs witnesses that maybe they would have thought twice, that just my opinion and there are several of people out there that have no direction in life! when you drink alot with your friends that subject seems to always come up at some point, so it would be better to tell them tough luck, thats life, we have no purpose on this earth but to have kids and make lots of money?i personally would rather tell them that god is your creator and he does have a purpose for you!

I started my meetings today it started at 7.lots of good points they brought out tonight! my purpose of coming to this site has been to convince myself that I dont want to be a witness that is why i just overlook all the positive things that are posted here and that is why i was saying what i was saying in question# 2 but every time i convince myself its just so i can do what i want to do which in my opinion is selfish since god is our creator. I just know that I have more in store for myself I wrote this topic to see everyones perspective on different things after reading all the posts I see that all of you could be jehovahs witnesses too if you wanted i dont really see how your current lifestyles would be effected.

EntirelyPossible

Interesting hall you go to where meetings start at 7.

Your God is a myth, do some research.

A good workout routine provides structure. So does the Army. Or ambition towards a goal and drive to see it done.

Your examples sound exactly like what the WT portrays the world like. As for me, I would rather tell them the truth, that THEY have a choice and that God is a made up fantasy.

I swear, this guy sounds a LOT like brother dan.....

I see that all of you could be jehovahs witnesses too if you wanted i dont really see how your current lifestyles would be effected.

I think you really came here to see how many of us you could drag back with you. It's not going to happen. And no being a jw would not fit into my lifestyle nor would my husband ever agree to being a jw (he's not a born-in and is very happy being a real Christian) nor would my children be happy as jws since they are used to going to church and being in the children's ministry. Also I see no way in hell the organization would be able to accommodate my autistic son, I'm not about to start beating him to make him sit still for a two hour meeting.

It's not a fit for me and you're extremely naive.

deservingone26

yeah i dont like the fact that it starts at 7 but thats whats works out for them and thats the closest hall to me

i believe that being in the army would be worse then being a witness i put full thought into joining the military as well and i know of a couple witnesses who did join i could give you my list of reasons why but that would be a long discussion you can pm me if you like tho i would be willing to hear your side on that. i do workout i recently started this month still have much to learn!

mrsjones5 No go thru my old posts that is not the case i came here to see how everyone else was dealing with different issues. i have many questions still and I plan on doing the research on these issues because if i question it then how am i going to tell someone else about it

and i think i might know brother dan he lives in phoenix as well

a couple questions for everyone here
