  A poll of sorts: How long have you been a "fader" for?

  by SecretSlaveClass in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm curious about the following:.

  1) how long have you been a fader for?.

  2) how often do you still get pressure from congregation members and/or family to return as an active witness?.

  Any weapons enthusiasts here?

  by Wonderment in

  i knew i had a couple of firearms around the house, and one in the car.

  however, i didn't realize i had seven, yes, seven of them, when i proceeded to count them.

  the reason for that is that i haven't gone to the shooting range in years.

  Why don't we have dominion over the animals?

  by Coded Logic in

  a devout christian had his buttocks mauled by a lion after challenging the big cat to a duel in order to prove the “lord’s power over animals”.. alec ndiwane, who has been described as a “prophet” in african media, was on safari at the kruger national park in south africa when he confronted the pride.. determined to prove to fellow tourists that god would save him, ndiwane is said to have gone into a trance and started speaking in tongues before opening his car door and charging at the lions.. but the lions were quick off the mark and bit him viciously on the backside as he clambered into the vehicle.. a warden managed to scare the big cats off by firing a gun in the air.. “i do not know what came over me,” ndiwane told ghanaweb.. “i thought the lord wanted to use me to show his power over animals.

  is it not we were given dominion over all creatures of the earth?” he added.. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/6994224/devout-christian-has-buttocks-mauled-by-lions-after-challenging-big-cats-to-a-duel-to-prove-the-lords-power-over-animals.html?cmp=spklr-_-editorial-_-twitter-_-thesunnewspaper-_-20160311-_-news-_-394160343-_-imageandlink.

  Chelmsford is an Asbestos Dump

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the dubsters in the uk are being taken for such a ride.. on one side they have prime land and property to sell in north london worth many millions of uk pounds.. on the other they have bought a contaminated site used for years of illegal dumping.

  one of the main contaminants is asbestos.

  it will take volunteer labour months simply to remove the toxic material.

  Did any of us ever enjoy meetings?

  by stephanie61092 in

  this is a legitimate question.

  did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?

  did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?

  i liked the camaraderie when i was in my teens--but rarely took any notice of the content of the meetings--no point--heard it all before--over and over.

  but--i got married at 20--then started to really think about it all--and quit aged 23.

  I dont know how i can leave my family!

  my mom and i were talking today about how next summer i will be 18 and she said that just thinking about it might make her cry.

  that made me think about how much more it would hurt her if i quit being a jw.

  i really do love my parents, i know they are just being cruelly manipulated by a cult and that they really think they are doing what is best for me.

  @ Tal

  Stan, I know it's hard to wrap your head around it, but that's exactly what may happen.

  yep--i know--exactly what happened to a friend of mine--shes mid 40's now--her dub dad kicked her out at 18 when she stopped--she was a baptised pioneer.

  but i would imagine its very unusual. blood is thicker than water.

  Hi black wolf.When you turn 18... Just stop attending meetings and door knocking....and wait for your parents to make the first move. Then react accordingly. What do you really think they I'll do about it....kick you out of your home?
