  Defeating The Watchtower - What Does This Mean?

  by hillary_step in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i actually wrote this post in response to a poster recently dealing with the 'defeating' of the wts.. i have started a new topic with the post as i would like to hear opinions of what xjw's and others view as a 'defeated' watchtower.. "i am not quite sure what we all want from the wts.

  what does a person mean by 'defeating' the watchtower?.

  destroying it, selling its buildings, giving the cash back to the people who bought them?

  Did you Believe

  by WildTurkey in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as an active jw, did you really ever believe that you would survive armageddon?

  with me, i served as an elder, regular pioneer, was over the book room at district conventions, but i always felt it was not enough, i was never real sure i would survive the big day of god almighty!!

  the reason i ask y'all is, i don't think you can feel real sure in a organization that is legalistic and work orientated .

  anyone have any pet peeves they'd like to air?

  here's one that just happened at work that is an annoyance for me: when you are speaking and the person interrupts the conversation with a corny play on words or the like.

  for example, "i had to sit on the phone on hold for about 5 minutes, waiting .

  Should gays be allowed to adopt?

  by Kenneson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i watched an interesting program last night (i believe on primetime), wherein diane sawyers interviewed rosie o'donnell.. the topic centered on gays and adoption.

  rosie recently came out of the closet in order to extend her support to florida gays who are prohibited by law to adopt.

  rosie, herself, has three children.. some of these gays, by the way, are foster parents.

  Celebrity Boxing anyone?

  by Mozzer4Life in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i was wondering who might have caught the celebrity boxing match on the fox network last night, and what you thought about it?

  i saw it, and have to say i enjoyed it, as sickening as it was to me.

  reality tv has reached a new low in my book, but the low happens to be disturbingly funny.

  Alternatives to JWs

  by Xander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since there are new people coming to this board on fairly regular basis with questions about the jw religion, i thought i'd pose this topic.. many, upon leaving the organization, don't really know where to turn for guidance.

  "look to yourself" doesn't really cut it when you've been told how to think your whole life.. many choose atheism, which is fine.

  however, for those still looking for a religion, here is a site that lists many of the worlds major religious movements.

  Great Joke to play on a DUB

  by Beans in

  1. social
  2. humour

  this is something that we do at hockey tournaments as a joke but i was thinking how much fun it would be to play on a jw.what we do is in a restauraunt when were all sitting down someone tells the waitress that it is someones birthday when there gone to the can or sitting at another table.when dinner is done and time for desert a stream of waitresses and waiters come and sing to the surprised person and it`s not even there birthday but play along anyways.. so as you know how much the jw`s like to go out to dinner after the assemblies and halloween,scope out these places plant the info on the waitress and sit back and watch you`ll be on the floor laughing your ass off!!

  !i think the assembly location would be best with a full house of dub`s.

  Me and my brother.

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an earlier discussion has been highlighting the differences between da'ing and df'ing.

  xena said:i am sorry qadreena but i have never in the 20 some odd years i have been a jw ever heard of an unbaptised publisher being d/aed...marked as bad association yes..but d/a...no...but i guess stranger things can happen.... well that brought it all back.. actually xena the exact same thing happened to my brother in the early 80's.

  he was only 14. he'd carried on associating with a friend of his who'd been disfellowshipped.

  How will Gen-Xers contribute to the fall of WTBS?

  by LDH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it because we're a cynical lot?.

  maybe because we were the first generation of latch-key kids who learned how to raise ourselves?.

  what is it that makes it so 'hard to lie to a gen xer?
