  Early 1900 we lived to be 42

  2014 average 80+

  Many times i asked JW's if they would prefer to live in the 1700-1800....no answer from any of them.

  They are like mules with blinders and of course i was one of them for 32 years

  Today's WT. article guilt trips my ex again!

  by kneehighmiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know they're called exes for a reason, but my ex-gf and i had repaired our relationship which had been ruined due to my awakening.

  she had stopped talking to me for months after the elders told her no to associate with anyone who disagrees with the "slave.

  " of course since she has her own doubts and she still loves me, she eventually began talking to me again.

  Don't make the mistake of getting involved with her unless she sees it's a cult.

  She probably hopes that you will get your faith back.

  I was 23 years old in the 70's and would stand outside a High School in one of the suburb in Chicago at 8 in the morning placing 40- 60 magazine every morning.

  That was when i first learned the "truth" and just got baptized.

  Eventually after a while i despised street work. I always felt like an idiot.

  Discussion with 2 Elders about IS

  by Da.Furious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some will notice i was really busy during the weekend, thats true as some jws will say i was in a spiritual paradise surrounded by brothers.. my view of a paradise is everybody living in harmony and happy, my weekend experience was more like unhappy people and complaining about almost everything, not to mentioned the quite discussion in the corners (i.e.

  gossips).. anyway, during on the discussions, the is (islamic state) topic was started.

  it all started when on the elders said that he prefers to talk to muslims in the ministry since they are more open minded and accept our teaching.. i dont come from a muslim background but lived among them enough to understand what they believe.

  You should have asked privately " What happens if we as a JW ask too many questions or don't agree with the GB?

  Simple question that would shut him up!!

  JW.borg permanent booths in flea markets

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have seen in my local area and while traveling a foreign country jw.borg booths at flea markets.

  i remember about 8 or 9 years ago seeing a russellite table at a flea market, and a jw with me said how they were from russells time when those apostates left and the only preaching they do is setting up stands like that.

  now jw's are doing the same thing.

  That was nice of her to do that.

  I have a daughter, the oldest one, still a JW, has not communicated with me or her sisters since March 2009. Don't even know where she lives.

  That's what the watchtower produces.....loving, compassionate,appreciative kind human beings. :)

  Why do JWs think ISIS is sadisitc but the Israelites under Jah's command loving?

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have heard so many jws complain about isis and how cruel and sadistic and pitiless they are.

  all my mind can think about is how their techniques are so similiar to the ancient israelites under joshua that the jws feel are heroes and champions of true worship.. role models for kids.

  isis believes that non-believers who do not subscribe to their world view should be killed in brutal ways.

  He got killed but all his relatives lost their lives because of his theft.

  Sickining isn't it some of the "justice" "we find in the inspired word of god"

  Where Will Jesus Come When He Comes?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  according to both christian and jewish eschatology, the messiah will come to jerusalem, where he will deliver the jews from hostile nations "round about.

  "since the jehovah's witnesses and other adventists don't believe his coming will be literally fulfilled, but figuratively fulfilled, they simply believe he will return to the earth, where he will slay the wicked and the righteous will be caught up to meet him in the air.. first we have a christian declaration:.

  and when [jesus] had spoken these things, while [the apostles] beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

  Just a little rank ... LOL

  by ADJUSTMENTS in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  collectively the rank and file in the congregation are like a pack of beaten and abused sheep, licking each other's wounds.

  telling each other soon this conditional love, the gb way or the highway, door to door bull@&$?, time sucking, money sucking, life sucking, brainwashing cult will take care of us... matt 9:36. they believe persecution is having a door slammed in their face or a house holder telling them to never comeback.

  they also believe you love your neighbor by sticking a wt and aw in their face, but donating to a charity or just going to talk to your neighbor is evil.

  But don't forget "They are the happiest people on earth" and so it is written in their literature, and those magazines are from Jehovah.
