  How were you 'outed' ??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  many of us here have been "outed" as ones who no longer believe that this is "the truth".. many didn't have the chance to do it in our own way, and in our own time, but rather someone "found out about our apostasy" and "reported" it to the spiritual police (elders).

  would you like to share your stories?.

  Who is going to make the earth a paradise?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a jw elder and dreamed of living in paradise, i pictured all of the animals, beautiful people, perfect weather, welcoming back the dead and teaching them about god.

  the only problem is to get to the point of making the earth a paradise first there will be around 8 billion bodies to bury.

  then how are we going to dig through all of the rubble and collapsed buildings using what tools?

  Just imagine the disease that will be rampant as corpses lay around rotting!

  Will the survivors get antibiotics too?

  The Cult and bottle trees

  by blownaway in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the origin of the bottle tree is to catch evil spirits.

  so to dream catchers.

  i remember a talk back in the early 70s or maybe late 60s that was about dubbers did not have wind chimes.

  I was also not allowed fortune cookies.

  They contained the word Fortune, so it must be spiritistic!😩

  Today's WT Paragraph 4

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i thought that this little gem deserved a thread of it's own.. 4. why is it important for us to be present at the memorial if at all possible?.

  4 reflect on the importance of attending the memorial.

  remember, congregation meetings are part of our worship.

  Love how they use the word "frankly"!

  Basically they are saying "failure to obey is a death sentence!"

  Today's Watchtower :Paragraph 5

  by jwdoctrine in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  1 cor 13:5:"keep testing whether you are in the faith; keep proving what you yourselves are.

  or do you not recognize that jesus christ is in union with you?

  by ‘testing whether we are in the faith.’ to do that, we do well to ask ourselves: ‘do i really believe that i am part of the only organization that jehovah has approved to accomplish his will?

  so the wife was sick and stayed home from the meeting.

  she tuned in through the phone so she could listen.

  she had the phone on speaker and therefore i could overhear what was said.

  As witnesses, we were used to EVERYONE being our friend in the Witness circles.

  We therefore never learned the art of making real friends.

  Not everyone we meet will become our close associates - and that is ok.

  I thought we all had to be obedient to the laws of the land (Ceasars Laws) unless they conflicted with God's laws?

  So, if the law says someone is "over the limit" they are indeed breaking the law! (No matter if that varies from place to place.

  For the GB to try and imply that "biblical" intoxication is different is appalling!

  After all, biblical intoxication had God's worshippers "Naked" (Moses), or committing incest (Lot). Maybe that is the criteria for Biblical intoxication???
