  Is this TV thing true? Havent been on meetings lately, guess I have to wait til monday and see. Anyway, seems crazy. I've always thought that doing TV is something others do, those who are not "true christians".

  1 - still think it's the truth ...came to this site cause danger is your middle name.. 2 - concerned, smoething's amiss but still believe.

  3 - 98% sure it's bs, but still go for / with family.

  4 - anger / denial, inactive with minimal attendance (ie memorial, spec talk etc).

  Do You Think All JWs Believe Whatever Their Religion Teaches?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that same question applies to catholics, jews, islamists, baptists and so on.

  .

  just because you belong to a religion, does it mean you espouse every idea that they have ever presented?.

  Wow, I admire you! I'm also from western Europe, 20+ and mainly got babtized because my mother wanted me to. So here I am living a double life. From personal experince, the best advice I want to give is, dont get involved further with this cult, you are a free person, your life is ahead of you. And you dont want to waste time on boring meetings and even more boring ministry. Good luck to you!

  I find it very interesting to get an other point of view of todays study, since I was there and had to sit and listen to it all. I have to tell about a strange comment I heard. Someone said that we have to pronounce the name Jehovah correclty. But that doesnt make sence at all, since every language pronounces it in its own way, and further more, it might not even be the right form. Anyway that was just a small observations.

  Otherwise I find those two questions contradicting:

  1, 2. (a) What does it mean to be a witness, and in what notable way

  has this world’s news media failed? (b) Why does Jehovah not depend

  on this world’s media?

  So if god doesnt depend on the media, then the worlds news media hasnt failed. Or?

  standing on corners holding up the awake and watchtower magazines?

  I've also walked up and down the streets, approaching people. I must say I "liked" it better than from door to door. It was easier in a way, you didnt have to make excuses on how you got the code to the entrance. But anyway, I cant walk around anymore, pretending that I believe in the stuff and pretending that I want people to believe it as well.

  it's definitely on their minds.

  i attended a funeral recently and a jw told me that the person who died almost made it to the 100 year anniversary of the birth of the kingdom.. curious what comments like this you've heard in your area?.

  (and can't wait for november!).

  maybe i'm reading too much into this, but ever looked in a dictionary for the definition of watchtower ?.

  watchtower (wchtour)n.an observation tower on which a guard or lookout is stationed to keep watch, as for enemies, for forest fires, or over prisoners.. .

  slightly interesting, observation = gb, enemies= worldly folk and prisoners =rank/file.

  Dancing with the Stars vs Friday evening service meeting

  so funny.

  last week (start of new season for dws in poland - apparently still very popular) my wife did not feel so well, so she stayed home.

  but, she was well enough to watch the entire show as opposed to going to bed to rest.
