  College Quote - Help Needed

  by kp138 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i don't post on here for often, but i read posts almost daily and i love our little community of ex-jw's.

  a little bit of a background i was raised in as jw but was never baptized but was a publisher and believe it wholehearedly.

  my father was very strict when it came to the religion and although i really quit going in my early 20s (which broke his heart) it held a power over me until i was close the to 30. at 30 i decided to enroll in community college while working full time and got my aa last year.

  Hi Kp138,

  Personally I wouldn't get that detailed and specific about a quote in the Watchtower, but you can definitely mention that you were brought up as a witness and it was not encouraged to seek higher education , but you realized that it's something very important to you.

  All the best you Bud.

  Mandatory voting in USA

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am sure that president obama's saying today that mandatory voting in the usa would be a good thing is going to get the witnesses all excited as they look forward to being persecuted for not voting.

  just another sign showing how deep we are into the times of the end and how close they are to burying billions of people who don't read the watchtower.. sour grapes .

  There has been mandatory voting in some countries for years; you just show up and (spoil) don't place an ex on any candidate.

  I totally like Putin and think he's the man. He is totally misunderstood by most people, most world leaders are intimidated by him, and jealous. It has been a big mistake to alienate him, we need Russia (and their army) to help us fight those Muslim nut bars.

  I think the Watchtower's light is starting to dim and may burn out eventually.

  The Tower is starting crumble from the top down .

  Hello All!

  by ihunt in

  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.
