Do You Know any JW's Who Saw Avatar?

by sammielee24 in

just curious.

i know there was some issue amongst some religious orgs about their flock going to see this movie so i just wondered if anyone knows of a jw who did go and see it.. sammieswife.

Doubtfully Yours

Many that saw Avatar, many that saw the Twilight movies, many that read the books on those movies; many that see whatever movie looks good, regardless of the rating. I happen to be one of them.

Hey, life's too short to be minding the small stuff.

I'd like to know who you were before you were baptized a JW? Were you raised a JW? What religion or denomination of Christianity did you profess before you became a JW.

by SAHARA in

if you were raised a jw, how well did you research the history of the org.

before you were baptized?

if you were a convert to the watchtower society , how well did you know the doctrines of the faith before your conversion?

Happy, Well-Adjusted JW. However... Pet Peeve. Please Sound Off Yours.

why the heck does the society have to publish more of the same stuff every single farging assembly???!!!.

as if we don't already have tons of literature already!!!

boring to keep reading the same stuff over and over and over again!!!.

Doubtfully Yours

Oh, turning in the monthly time report is another one of my extremelly BIG pet peeve.

Such practice has made such big liars out of so many of us!!!

So many so-called 'spiritual' due to their time turned in (pioneers, elders), that are doing despicable things that I (a simple publisher trying to stay afloat) would never do... ever!!!

I'm in a very foul disposition today. Can't you all tell?!

Are You Eccentric?

by snowbird in

jw

one of the words of today was concentric - sharing a common center.. which set me to thinking about eccentric - out of center.. i've been told that i'm eccentric.. have you ever been told that?.

thanks.. syl.

Doubtfully Yours

I'm an eccentric, big time!!! Funny/crazy eccentricities too!!!

I crack myself up all the time over how eccentric I am, and yet how happy I carry on regardless of the many quirks in my personality. I cover up quite nicely all my quirkiness when in public; I've become a master in disguising my eccentricities.

I've sincerely to thank the Society for that; otherwise, I'd be one of those freaks that doesn't step foot outside of the home or has any friends.

I'd be so happy if they slowed it down to just, maybe, 1 piece of literature for the whole year... or NONE for a while!!!

Alright, done venting for now.

Hard question

by dgp in

a question for all those who managed to do it.

when you realize that it's unrealistic to expect someone in the wt to ever leave, and when you see the damage it does you to keep hoping, and to keep trying to get them out, how do you manage the pain?.

what do you do when you know that someone has spoiled the only life that person will ever have, yet you can't reach to them?.

Doubtfully Yours

I never encourage people that have left, or that are showing signs of weakness in the religion, only because I believe in having free will.

I just continue to be polite to everyone equally whenever I encounter them in my everyday life doings. Even to the disfellowshipped ones have I never denied a smile or a good morning, as it's just the right way to treat a person.

Hey, ultimately, we all face the consequences to our actions.

Be well.

Things that helped me tremendously are: Owning up to my own faults and responsibility for my situation in life and praying sincerely, wholeheartedly to Jehovah for his help and guidance, and finally, acting accordingly.

All things fell into place then, and all is good at this time in my life. Not that I don't face the same challenges as everyone else; but I face them in light of what the word of God instructs Christians to do.

Try it. It works. May you all be well.

Aw, pleeeeeeeeeease, get off the soap box!

Being a true JW is a very wholesome and healthy way of life, and plenty of people have found true happiness within it! I've been quite a happy JW myself in the last 3 to 4 years or so. It was just a matter of getting off the soap box I was on and getting with the program.

If it's not for you, fine, just move on and live, but also let live!

Afraid of Dying?

by PointBlank in

i don't know if this subject has been discussed here before.

if it has, could someone help me find it?

if it hasn't (i can't imagine that it hasn't), here's what i was wondering.

Doubtfully Yours

Afraid of death? Actually.... weird enough, looking forward to it! Can't wait to experience first hand who's right on the subject: Will I just go in a deep sleep-unconscious like state, will I go to a lovely place called heaven, will it be a tormentous place humans call hell?

Living my life as nice a person as possible, just in case. However, can't hardly wait to find out the truth on this subject for myself! In my JW-trained mind, I choose to believe our theory on it, but still hesitant to just discard everybody else's theories completely.

I'm such a skeptic in so many levels!!!

Let Obama finish a 2nd term, then it's Mitt Romney's turn. That I'd like.
