  JW usage of Jehovah

  by Kymegg in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been talking with two jw ladies and we got on the subject of the name of jehovah.

  i was trying to make the point that they cannot claim to be the only "true" religion.

  at first they wanted to start pointing out why they felt they were.

  " men take the lead, women merely "support.".

  what contributed to priscilla's zeal and courage?

  (luke 8:1-3).. yes, the privilege of doing the marketing, cooking, cleaning up, and laundry of 13 men while they did evangelizing.. wt 12/1/75 p. 717 christian greatness comes from serving.

  Thanks again, Blondie. And if your congregation didn't show you appreciation, you can be assured you are VERY appreciated here. Excellent research.

  Lost Childhood -> PTSD -> Lost Adulthood

  when i read the title of the thread ?was your growth stunted because you were a jehovah?s witness?, i posted a version of the following while extremely emotional.

  not taut, very loosely, as if it feels like a necklace.

  you see, i am growing and the cord is getting taut now.

  No Reform on Blood Because Deaths are Cheaper

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in recent years, the watchtower society has given conflicting signals about its policy.

  regarding compelling witnesses not to take blood transfusions.

  inconsistencies in their understanding and enforcement of this ban on blood, this doesn't.

  damn, why does morpheus' line from the original "matrix" keep reverbating in my head?.

  "i'm sure you're feeling a bit like alice... tumbling down the rabbit hole?".

  i feel as if my life is coming towards some sort of apocalypse.... its been a long culmination of events, as apocalypses are...9 years in the works.... but somehow i feel good about coming to this point in my life.

  Dang, I don't envy you. I wish I had some words of advice, but I don't really as I have never been a JW. I desperately want to get my Mom out though. One thing is for sure- you can't go on living a lie. Try to help your girlfriend if you can, but don't stay for her sake because it will only end up hurting you both in the end. I've read enough stories here to know that much. Thanks for sharing with us, I will keep you in my prayers.

  I know

  by Jesus Christ in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know that my grandmother died before her time because she refused a transfusion that could have saved her life long enough to see her grandson get married.

  i know there was nothing i could have told my cousin back in high school when he said he didn?t want to disobey god by taking blood to fight his leukemia but even more importantly didn?t want to die.

  i know i have a cousin whose wife loves him but unlike most couples doesn?t expect to spend forever with her husband because he?s the only one that will be going to heaven.

  i'm starting this because i was chatting with someone this morning about pictures of ourselves as kids.

  i realized i didn't have any of myself so i got my mother to email me a few.

  i promised i'd start a thread about it and if that person doesn't post the pic they sent me this morning, i will.

  Almost anyone I've ever asked for advice on how to get JWs out has said you have to use their own publications and show them how they contradict themselves and the Bible. But as Mulan said, if they don't want the information it is pointless. I've learned that the hard way so far.
