Are we losing our way a bit at JWN?

by nicolaou in

firstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.

it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.

i am not bashing jwn - i love this place and appreciate the hard work and expense simon puts in to keep it going.

I appreciate the opening post.

It does indeed seem that there is a distinct change in the type of topics posted.

So, maybe we can do something about it. I used to post a lot of thoughts and topics as they came to mind. But I have backed off over the last few months, as I grew as a person I suppose.

Why dont we all start to post some more biblical, or JW based doctrinal observations again? If a thought comes to mind, please share it. You never know if it sparks anothers person's interest and ideas.

I guess it is up to us to change the atmosphere here if we want to.

Perhaps revive older threads we liked in order to get the ball rolling?

Ectopic pregnancy

by Whynot in

ectopic pregnancies, when detected, are usually treated by surgically removing them.

i always understood that this procedure was ok for jehovah's witnesses.

but the subject came up during pioneer school.

Just to re-iterate: That Circuit Overseer is a stupid idiot!

If the Society / GB dedicated as much effort to the child abuse issue as they did to tracking down those who expose their videos, the Australian Royal Commission would never have been needed!

Glad to see they have their priorities right!

Sick cultists...

Has Your JW Background Benefited You In Any Way?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i would like to think there was some good that resulted from our being a witness at one time..

stuckinarut2

For any supposed "benefit" it may have provided me, I can think of many "negatives" it also caused me!

We will NEVER get back our younger years and opportunities....and for that I am angry.

"This Good news Of The Kingdom Will Be Preached In All The Inhabited Earth" ........

by smiddy3 in

..".for a witness to all the nations and then the end will come" .matt.24:14.. the religion of jehovah`s witnesses kid themselves into thinking they are filling or have fulfilled this prophecy/scripture .. given that you take the jehovah`s witnesses and the international bible students association as one and the same religion , then they have been preaching their message primarily within lands that are predominantly christian based.....and certainly do not cover "all the inhabited earth " as their are many populous non christian nations nations that do not allow, even forbid any proselytizing in their lands.

i would estimate about one third of the current world population.. but that is not all .. given that you take the jehovah`s witnesses and the international bible students association as one and the same religion ,then they have about 140 years of preaching their beliefs to the public specifically to preach "this good news of the kingdom " as they claim to do in obedience to j.c.commands at matt.24:14.. take a survey no matter where you live on this planet earth of the people in your locality and if you asked them "what was the message jehovah`s witnesses left you and no one would be able to say "they told me about and explained to me the good news of the kingdom" and what it would mean to me.. no one would be able to say that .after 140 years of preaching and witnessing by what is now 8 million plus jehovah`s witnesses .. what a waste of time and energy and lives .. after 140 years of preaching what do the public know about jehovah`s witnesses ?.

they don`t take blood transfusions .
