If this isn't the truth, then what is our hope?

by Gigi2121 in

i'm new here but not new to researching and questioning the jw beliefs.

i have quite a story.... one that's been haunting me for awhile... but first, i'd like to hear what people have to say about this topic question, please.. -gigi.

"What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain." - morpheus

sometimes there is grander design, no bigger picture, no universal truth of the sort that jw'ism convinces us exists. We can find a purpose and a higher calling all our own and let that be our reality, as it suits us.

And we can hope to achieve some fullfillment of that which we define as fullfilling

Site Update: Feb 9, 2015 - Vote feedback! (likes / dislikes)

by Simon in

i just pushed out an update that should now show post votes and provide some feedback when you click the like / dislike button.

the votes shows as a +5 / -2 next to the like and dislike options.. i just realize i linked the display to the ability to vote and given that the vote links are hidden on your own posts, that currently means you can't see the votes that others have given you (i'm almost wondering now if that may be for the best, lol).

expect it to change when i push the next update out.. duplicate votes won't be counted even though they may appear to update in the ui so don't bother trying to go click-crazy - every member only get's one vote on each post.. just a word of caution: i take serious people who try to game the system.

Still nothing.... Not the end of the world, i was just curious. Perhaps someone could like/dislike this post as test....?

DIY Redemption!

Hank wants to give you the million dollars but he had to kill someone else first so you could then kiss his rear and qualify for the money, once you leave town. And if you dont kiss his rear adter he killed someone to give you a million dollars, hes going to kick the stuff out of you. Its all really very simple....

What exactly is encouragement?

by naazira in

jw
friends

when elders want to meet with an inactive person to encourage them, what does this really mean?

encouragement is a term thrown around by the organisation.

does this encouragement usually consist of prying into the inactive one's lifestyle?.

Do you feel bad throwing away literature?

by stuckinarut2 in

jw
friends

so do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.

what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.

if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.

_Morpheus

Yea i always feel bad.... Bad that i cant throw away more. Bad that its still being printed. Bad because its usually in my house when i find it.
