  HELP! - Asking for Baptism photos for university art/personal documentation project (they will not be published or made public)

  by AGoodPigeon in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm new here, but i've been an ex-witness since 2015 (not disfellowshipped, faded and inactive but no longer believing) and i'm working on an art/personal project gathering the bapstism photos of many different ex-witnesses.

  i am asking that anyone who feels comfortable with it send me (private message me) their photos that they or others took on the day of their baptism (before, after, or during).

  i will not post these online anywhere or publish them.

  You sound legit to me, but I can understand the concern of PIMOs,myself included. Your only chance would probably be an ex-JW with nothing to lose, although your chances of finding one before this thread gets buried are probably slim. If you'd be uncomfortable asking your mom for those pics specifically, perhaps ask for ALL your photos in general? Just a thought.

  evening all.

  my first post - born in but faded 15 years ago before that i was pimo for a number of years.. to put it bluntly the whole jw religion/thing is a crock of shit.

  i sort of figured this out for myself before i faded but reading posts and comments on this forum confirms this.

  Just a heads up: Scam ads abound

  hi simon, i don't know if there's anything that can be done about it, but multiple times in recent days i've been redirected to a scam site, a fake youtube survey, and i'm guessing it's connected to whatever ad was running on the page.

  just a heads up, if it can be reported..

  I just scanned for malware and I'm all set. The reason I mentioned ads being at fault is this article:

  And JW's are not allowed to think about sex? O_o

  i thought this might catch your eye.

  especially if you're a man.. they say thinking about sex is wrong!

  that's biologically impossible.

  Yep, me too. When I was younger it was my suppression that led to obsession. When I just did the normal thing and masturbated periodically, I could move on to other things with a clear head. By guilting normal bodily functions, it's actually counterproductive.

  Meaning of Luke 9:49,50

  by truthlover123 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  these two verses indicate that "others" were preaching in jesus' name and when the apostles reported it to him, he said "let him alone for he who is with us is not against us".... since the wtbts states they are the only way to salvation, what does this scripture mean?

  others have the right to salvation as well - straight from jesus' mouth- as long as they preach ( in the verse it says expel demons as well) using jesus name?

  An inconvenient scripture for their theology to be sure. This is their latest explanation:

  Jesus did not prevent the man because the Christian congregation had not yet been formed. Hence, it was not required that the man physically accompany Jesus

  so i was recently in a thrift store, looking through some of the stuff there, when another aisle over, somebody sneezed.. (as far as i know, nobody lost a meatball.... 😅🙃 ...).

  anyway, somebody sneezed.

  and somebody immediately said, “bless you!”.

  LV101:

  Get your mind out of the gutter, it's from a kids song lol 😅

  Muddy Waters:

  I love your storytelling style, it was like I was right there! And no, I don't think it was mean for you to act that way, it's necessary. Hopefully she feels foolish and begins to think a little, or at least the employee will always remember this whenever someone tries to 'witness' to her in the future.

  Need Help - How do I refute this???

  by HappyBlessedFree in

  so i was talking with my husband about all the things the organization is doing ie.

  hiding pedophiles, lying about what 1914 was etc.

  so his response was that the nation of israel had times when they weren’t doing the right thing, but it was still gods chosen organization.. another topic we were talking about was disfellowshipping.

  1: If he mentions all the bad things Israel did, point out that God rejected them as a whole because of it.

  2: As for disfellowshipping, there's some great info here:

  has anyone had success in helping your spouse to wake up?

  i’m thinking of showing my husband jwfacts.

  he is starting to do his own research using wikipedia and google.

  StarTrekAngel makes a good point:

  JWFacts has perhaps the best collection of damning WT quotes in existence. Pick the best ones, especially more recent ones you can get on WT Library, and focus on that without the stigma of an 'apostate' website.

  Paradise Earth

  by Jeff1 in

  2. beliefs

  just recently i was looking at a topic on jwfacts entitled 'paradise on earth forever.

  ' from the research paul did on this topic he mentioned that there is no biblical evidence of an earthly resurrection.

  i haven't heard this before but wanted to get some thoughts on this topic.

  Funny how they don't use the same rule for Governing Body

  Or Paradise Earth for that matter.
