my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

What about saying that you want to finish your college education first and face the test of faith that that will bring in order to know if you are ready? And then once you have finished your education then you high tail it out of there by getting a job and moving out.

Anti-Gay Cartoon Still Making Rounds: George Takei weighs in

by freemindfade in

i also heard the video was being discussed on howard stern today.

.

The JW's probably think this is giving a "good witness" (!) Fools that they are. Most jw's I've met seem to think that the rest of the world secretly agrees with the JW's in their view on gays.

Again fools.

Are the anointed really "lovely people"?

by purrpurr in

i've personally never met any of those who claim to be anointed but the other jw's who have are always unanimous in their praise of how lovely and what wonderful people they are.

and i don't mean the gb i mean common or garden anointed.

i was told that when they speak about being in heaven that they almost "seem to glow".. is this right?

Is this right? What was your experience of the anointed?

What will be the Next Flip Flop?

by Quarterback in

now that the soc has accepted the use of technology.

what is next?

could it be the disfellowshipping?

purrpurr

I said recently to my jw parents that the WT is going to have to abandon the number of anointed being literal and also 1914. They were appalled and said that will never happen since both doctrines are core doctrines of the JW's.

I wonder what their reaction will be if this does happen?

Awake #4/2016: Homosexuality

by Designer Stubble in

the new awake is up on jw.orgwith the legalization of gay marriage in many countries, they decided it was time to show: "what does thebible say about homosexuality?

"does the bible promote prejudice?still, some people would say that the bible promotes prejudice against homosexuals and that those who adhere to itsmoral code are intolerant.

‘the bible was written at a time when people were narrow-minded,’ they claim.

purrpurr

This article is still telling gay people that in order to be acceptable to God they need to change. I think alot of gays would find this idea to be very offensive.

When will they start spying on tablets/iPads at meetings?

following on from a similar post, the use of tablets/ipads at the meetings is a life saver to many a bored or mentally out jw.

i'm sure the borg must know the potential for surfing the net or reading other books instead of reading the meeting material during the meeting?.

at what point are they going to start policing this?

I don't connect to the kh WiFi either, I'd feel exposed if I did. I too download books to read and read them instead of the meeting material

New ANTI-GAY video for Kids on jw.org

by ttdtt in

https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/one-man-one-woman-marriage/.

disgusting!.

purrpurr

My mother can go on hour long rants about how disgusting gays are. She does this in front of non jw's too and I used to tell her how shocked they were by what she said (you could see it in their faces although she never noticed) but my mother thinks she's giving a great witness by her ranting homophobia! I guess in a way she is... An anti witness!
