  Do you know any good novel about faith crisis?

  by paradiseseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm looking for something to read.

  i'm interested in ecclesiastical settings like churches and gothic cities.

  but the most important thing i look for is the inner thoughts and evolution of the main character: his/her feelings of guilt, regular visits to the confessor, self-comfort drawn from faith, praying god/saints, relapses and self-loathing as well as his/her process of "waking up".. i know it's something very particular and there's a lot of junk literature about the topic with poor writing and archetype characters, but if you have read anything of good quality, i would be very glad to know.. thank you in advance..

  Please Switch Off Your Critical Thinking

  i have an uneasy feeling inside that something is coming this year or the next.

  perhaps a new big announcement that turns jwdom on it's head.. we've seen the statement in the watchtower november 15th, 2013 which said:.

  watchtower november 15th, 2013 - page 20, paragraph 17.. .

  As I've said before, the latest message in publications and videos has been a lot of 'see what the kingdom is doing NOW!' so more emphasis on better life now, less on when if ever the end is coming (although that will probably stay a selling point).

  I'm not sure I get which angle you're coming from. It says:

  "So the sun stood still and the moon did not move until the nation could take vengeance on its enemies. Is it not written in the book of Jaʹshar? The sun stood still in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to set for about a whole day."

  An elder with only one testicle

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i happen to be one of very few people who know of this condition that the man has.

  he had an accident several years ago with some power equipment.

  leviticus 21:20 commands that no man present the bread at the temple with damaged testicles... so?.

  Sooo . . . Christians aren't under the Mosaic Law, so it doesn't matter.

  I'll admit the title grabbed my attention though, props for that.

  Born again or born from above

  by Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  last year i was at the memorial and the speaker was saying something about how the phrase born again was actually a mistake and it should say born from above.

  jesus was actually referring to those with a heavenly hope.

  last night i was flipping the channels and there is a religious program talking about being born again.

  Must've been a rogue speaker, even WT acknowledges that born again is appropriate in this context.

  Engaged Couples Living Together

  by ILewis in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  my question is this.

  is it wrong for a jehovah's witness to allow an unmarried couple to live together under their roof?

  same room, same bed, they are allowing full on cohabitation.

  If the JW is a landlord, (as in renting rooms for money), then there is no reason she should police the private lives of individual renters. If they're not bothering you, just keep to yourself. You're paying for a service. The unclean spirits stuff is in your head.

  i like the one quote about the internet, as it has a special meaning for jws:.

  where voices long silenced can find an audience.

  Bible Prophecy and the GB

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ofriends, having followed many of your posts on this website, i am convinced that the prophecy of the last days as penned in 2nd timothy 3:1-7 is actually now being fulfilled by the present governing body.. .

  2 tim 3:1… but know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.

  (definitely, we all face hardships from the gb policies.

  jw's are always "studying" But never seem to learn!

  That's because it's only an illusion of study. Real study is objective and impartial. JW study is just following a preset path with no options for growth.
