  It's ironic how the sister is obsessing over what is more modest to wear when Jesus is lying there almost naked... LOL!!!

  Why Me?

  by Grey Goose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it the question that i have found myself constantly asking myself the past few months.

  out of all the jws i interact with, why did it have to be me that woke up from this mess?.

  i am relieved that i have woken up to the bullshit, but a side of me misses that fuzzy feeling of being a 100% believer.

  My feeling is: Why ONLY me? Why can't the other JW's who I know wake up also???

  Lady drives car into Kingdom Hall

  right smack into (what looks like) the front entry!.

  this was in australia, but the khs i've seen (in the us) are designed so that you'd have to almost intentionally want to ram a building to cause this kind of damage.

  Seems to me that the elderly lady driver is a JW. Looks like she crashed her car into the KH from the parking lot

  Wt encouraging people to completely forgive but they dont

  but they don't forgive because they still shun people.

  who they feel are not worthy of forgivenes.

  For forgiveness to come into the picture, it is imperative for a wrongdoing to take place first. The ironic thing is that in many cases of shunning, no forgiveness is needed in the first place! The person shunned has done absolutely NOTHING wrong - all they have done is to disagree with the man-made teachings & man-made laws of the org, and for this illogical & nonsensical reason they are ostracised & shunned. Forgiveness? What for?

  In the past, whenever a new branch office was opened, JW's would say that it is evidence of Jehovah's blessing & rapid expansion is taking place!

  BUT... now that branch offices are closing down, you don't hear them saying the opposite, do you?

  by Sabin in

  2. friends

  so my hubby has been on a bit of a roll about the jdubs, we were talking a lot about them & he said the buzz word he hate's the most is "worldly" why?

  because he say's "with that one word they have condemned (according to their believes) a person as being worthy of nothing but death.

  ".

  "Let us stand if we are able to & sing song number..."

  Duhhh! Of course! It goes without saying that! How would you be expected to stand if you were not able to???

  Phizzy:

  But boy, was it a joy to find I really belonged in the REAL world !!!

  There are so many lovely, genuine and fascinating people in the real world, and so many who are like me, fun loving and like to laugh all the time, we simply have no time for doom and gloom.

  Life in the real world is so good, and just gets better and better !

  Exactly how I feel right now! =)

  Singleness / remaining single / single ones / single brothers / single sisters

  Why? Because I was not happy being single! The problem was that there were VERY few young ones in my cong & no young sisters who I liked. The only sisters who I had interest in were in distant congs & it was difficult to establish relationships. I ended up dating "worldly" girls instead
