  Hello All!

  i figure it's about time that i stop silently lurking around this community and actually add to the conversation, so here goes a first post.

  a little about me-i was born "half-in", that is, my mother has been a witness for the entirety of my life whereas my father has never been.

  i was an active part of the congregation (at least for what an unbaptized publisher can do) until i turned 18 and got an opportunity to attend a university (go school!).

  is good calling me back or am i just letting my emotions get the best of me?also i really want to be closer to my jw family.

  btw i was never baptized and i consider myself a born again christian i go to a baptist church and wath televangelist and i have expirenced gods presence like never before but sometimes i get fearful and think "what if jws are right and i'm wrong" than i'm screwed!but if there wrong and i'm right it doesn't look to good for them.. i would prefer if nobody posted "god isn't real" type comments.

  i truly believe he is real but i respect why some are atheists..

  I'm really surprised that the big boys up at Brooklyn have not asked him to go join the lovely bethel family. I bet he will be headed there soon, they need a person that is well versed in the law to defend their BS.

  Federal prisoner, child of active JW, could be my grandchild?

  2. scandals

  i recently learned of the possibility that my son has a love child and that this child is in prison.

  the child was born in the early 80s.

  i learned that my ex-wife and her parents may have paid a large sum of money to the young mother (and others) in order to keep this scandal out of the press and perhaps out of earshot of the local elders.

  Hello Fatfreek,

  You say you are still on good terms with your ex-in laws, I would call them up and ask them if they are aware of this, I suspect they would know. If you get the feeling that they are aware of this child call your son up and confront him with this news, this is a grandchild that has been deprived the love of a grandparent.

  Furthermore, your son needs a nice moral slap in the face for his holier then thou attitude for shunning you all these years while he may have a skeleton in his closet.

  Do JW Children Still Call Adults "Aunt" and "Uncle"?

  by cofty in

  when i was young we were taught to refer to other adult jws as aunt or uncle.. was this also the case in other countries and does it still happen?.

  was it just a custom or has the literature ever commented on it?.

  thanks.

  Cookiemaster,

  Did you ever go door to door at Dracula's house? Did he ask for a bible study? (Just being humorous)

  yes, you heard right.. as you know, most christian organizations publish and distribute little tracts with their gospel message.

  well they also make some that expose the lies of the wt, and explain how it is a cult.

  even if people are not interested in the "gospel message" in these tracts, the tracts do a good job exposing the wt as a cult.. now, those of you who are now agnostic or athiests or just non-religious, please keep reading, to understand what i plan to do.... i am expecting to receive $$ for christmas.

  I see you are still under that horrible spell, it seems you need to get a life. Why waist your time doing what people hated us for in the first place. Go golfing, fishing, something. Don't be bitter, forget about it all.

  God's supposedly chosen earthly organization (WTS/JWS) doesn't pronounce or spell god's name correctly !!!

  this came up on terry walstrom thread topic recently and i thought it would be good to explore this further.

  the jws are quite boisterous and arrogant that they use the proper name of jehovah as the divine name of god.

  but a little investigation discovers something quite different.

  So if I understand right, you are not to mention the name of God at all?

  JEHOVAH A Partial / Selective GOD

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah only dealt with a patriarchal family after adam sinned .he then only turned his attention to the 12 tribes of what was to become the nation of israel .. apparently he did not give two hoots about the rest of mankind outside of this small group of people compared to the rest of humanity.. 4000 years later he declares his love for the world and had his son sacrificed , setting up a system ( christianity ) starting off with jews and then allowing gentiles to enter., again neglecting the rest of humanity / nations on the earth , leaving them to their own desires.. during the first 4000 years he spent a helluva lot of time and energy trying to convince the jews he was almighty god .. performing miracles ,raising the dead ,slaughtering opponents with angelic intervention ,committing genocide on israels behalf ,etc.etc.

  you know the drill.. no such effort was made trying to convince other nations or blessing them for their achievements advancing civilization , they were left to their own device , no direction ,no help , or instruction was given to them whatsoever .

  and nothing has changed this past 2000 years , it started out as a small group who by "divine providence" were to be called " christian" according to the bible , and again he is only acting on behalf of this group , neglecting all other nations who now cover most of this earth.. so my question is : if jehovah really did love the "world" humanity , why did he not act in behalf of all humanity instead of singling out a minority group of people 6000 years ago and continuing on with that policy till today ?.

  The idea that man was created perfect and God is perfect does not make sense; if Eve was really perfect she would of never sinned in the first place because she would of been perfect, lol. It's all boloney.
