So I went to see my dad give a talk
by StephaneLaliberte ini have to say that it was quite a strange feeling.
for many years that i was in, i had to do a lot of pretending with various teachings i personally didn’t believe in.
still, i believed in some foundation and went for that.

Conversation
by jdash inso this morning i had a conversation with my grandmother about going out in service.
remind you i'm only 17. i tried to ask her why i had to go out in service if this isn't what i believe in and whatnot.
she went on saying basically these are the rules for this house.

The best advise is at 17 do the best to get an education so that when you are ready to cut the cord and say good bye to the Watchtower you have a skill or education to be on your own.
Fake it until you are ready to be in a good position.
Life is much better when you can pay the bills and not get stressed out.

Good luck, I know you've been coping with the situation a very long time.
When through a divorce in 2006 due to my " me being an apostate " and my ex still going strong in the religion. Funny thing she got remarried and the present husband stopped going to meetings. So sad !!!

Get a black marker and write "cult that breaks up families"
I usually throw them in the garbage when I see them at the doctor's office.

140 years waiting for the end of the world and there is no indication according to the watchtower that it will be coming soon.
I know you covered it all with her ...what's her answer on that?
Could the watchtower be just another religion with its own interpretation of the bible?

How/when did you become a jehovas witness?
by Lewis1998 inso i've been a protestant for most of my life, it's how i was raised, but recently i started questioning my faith more and more and now i feel like my beliefs resemble that of a jehovas witness rather than a protestant.
i don't know any jehovas witnesses, so i was just wondering how a lot of you found the religion and adapted to it?.

I had everything going in the world as a 22 year old and then a beautiful, gorgeous young witness preached to me about a paradise earth and in 75 back in Chicago i got sucked in and stayed for 32 years. Left in 2007 and one of the best decision i ever made.

JW Carts Cause Thousands to Start Studying!!!
by Drifting Away ini would love to know the stats of how many hours were spent, standing by a cart, or sitting at a local town fair with jw table tent set up, compared to the number of bible studies started that led to baptism since the inception of the carts.
anyone have any idea?
if i had to guess i would say thousands of hours pent standing by a cart, and maybe less then 5 that actually got baptized.

As said before, never see dubs talk to anyone but to each other. Just came back from Italy and seen them in many different towns with their cart full of literature...never seen anyone ever stopping,not even interested in making eye contact with anyone.
Nice and easy way to count time.

Is Knowing/Using The Name Of God Important?
by Vanderhoven7 ini say no.. although the tetragrammaton appears close to 7000 times in the hebrew scriptures, the personal name of god does not.
seems to me that god made sure that both that his personal name does not appear therein and that no one would ever actually know it or learn even how to pronounce it.
he also made sure that his name (baring 3 hallelujahs in revelation) did not appear in the new testament.

If it was extremely important, life and death important it would have been used by Jesus and the apostles.
Jesus never used it, called him Father.
JW use his name every other second and that's not what we see in the Greek Scriptures.
