Free to sin but still cannot bring myself to do it
by sinboi inhave da'd myself nearly 3 months ago.
now i am part of this world but i feel myself the odd one out.
something inside me is still blocking me to do the things i have been longing to do while i was still a jw, such as attending birthday parties, sex, etc.... just last nite, i was on the way to attend a birthday party.

The "circle" of the earth
by stillin ina fair bit of time was spent discussing the (one) scripture in the bible that "proves" that when the bible touches on scientific subjects, it is absolutely correct.
this was at the most recent clam meeting this past week.
from isaiah, the reference to the "circle" of the earth.

Even as a child, I found it confusing! A circle is FLAT...otherwise, it would be called a SPHERE.
Simple.

Prayers ,are they answered ? or is it just self delusion ?
by smiddy3 inafter 33 years as a jw and leaving 25 years ago i think prayer can be summed up with the jews praying at the wailing wall.. all they are doing is talking to a brick wall ,and getting no feed back.
and they expect an answer to their prayers ?!.
christians /other beliefs might find that funny but they are no better off.. prayer is always a one way street you talk either vocally or mentally to god however you never get the same back .. if god " so loved the world that he doesnt want any to be destroyed but have everlasting life " then whats the problem with him audibly answering his servants prayers ?

Return of the Dub (plus surprise guest)
by TerryWalstrom inreturn of the dub (plus surprise guest)dealing with just one frisky, bright-eyed jehovah’s witness is a handful.one on one is manageable.
two jw’s is more like juggling chainsaws or french kissing alligators.i had a return visit the other day and now, the jw was returning the 2nd time, but with another dub.what would my strategy be?
that’s how the day was spent.

Brilliant!
Thanks for sharing.
Really well done.
I especially liked the way you quoted the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over again and expecting a different outcome. The flood didn't work, so why should Armageddon 2.0 work?

How many "leave the truth" because of the behaviour of harsh elders?
by stuckinarut2 injust wondering how many are assisted to wake up after experiencing harsh treatment from "the loving shepherds of the congregation"?.
perhaps some were starting to wake up, and such behaviour or treatment gave them the push to leave?.
as jesus supposedly said "come to me all who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you.

Does anyone under the age of 25 know what KFC stands for? (What about WT or JW?)
by stuckinarut2 inas we have seen, the society has so smoothly rolled out the rebranding of the organization in just a few short years!.
(in fact, i remember a thread post here a few years back, where it was mentioned that all halls are going to get the jw.org signs on them.
it was initially laughed off and doubted) https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/279409/jw-org-signs-put-on-all-kingdom-halls-new-directive.

Good point Pete Zahut.
Yes, anything that occurred before the current generation, is considered irrelevant sadly.
They just don't see that looking into the society's history is so valuable in order to see the present clearly!

DEFEND JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES website
by Vanderhoven7 ini googled the question "do jehovah's witnesses do charity work?
" and up popped the above website designed to counter virtually all wts criticism.
anyone know about this website?.
-

stuckinarut2
Well, clearly those who run that site are acting just like "Korah, Dathan and Abirim" by presuming to create a site contrary to the direction of their Governing Body!
They obviously do not see the irony of disobeying clear directions from the society!

Yes!
If the words of "Jesus" are to be applied: "by their fruits you will recognise them"
I did not wake up purely because of such elders, as my awakening was based on logical research and facts. However, once I did start awakening, the way elders treated us was the awesome icing on the cake, the straw that broke the camels back if you like!
And yes, as Flipper says , I Thank them!... they did us a huge favour!
