  on the night before my wedding, my mom came into my room with the talk.

  she said she knew i probably knew all about the wedding night, but did i have any questions?

  she then told me to remember one thing tho...that you aren't to touch it.

  Jesus -- "God" or "son of God"

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember when i was an active witness, how i tried to convert my parents to the jw religion.

  my father said that he knew that the witnesses were wrong because they didn't believe that jesus was god all mighty.

  going door to door and speaking to people of other religions, the hardest thing was to make people understand that only jehovah was god, and that jesus was only an angel.

  Demons

  by finnrot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a kid i was scared shitless of demons.

  a couple of years ago i posted this subject, and some asswipes just suggested that i was just a scared little boy and that i should have just kept a stiff upper lip.. i was raised in this crappy religion and i recall that from the very beginning, i was told that demons were always around me.

  i remember as a young child, i was told of stories of children that would go to bed and feel the edge of their bed go down slowly as a demon sat on the edge of the bed, ready to do whatever eveil they had planned for the evening.

  Awake! says we can pray in Jesus' name!!!

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to this, jesus is not just the mediator of the 144,000 -- he's the mediator of mankind!!

  and apparently "dear jesus" prayers are okay!

  the watch tower says i can say, "dear jesus, you are my mediator as you are for all mankind..." "the bible clearly says that jesus christ is mankind's redeemer, so he is mankind's mediator.

  Can "Disassociated" ex-jw's be "reinstated" back as jw's?

  by jads in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was shocked one day when i was talking to a friend of mine who "disassociated" himself from the wt in the mid-80's and was heavy in the "apostate movement".

  he told me that he is thinking about going back to the jw's and be "reinstated" but he was not sure if "disassociated" ex-jw's could be reinstated.

  i thought he was joking at first because he was one of the people that helped me out of the wt.

  How do witnesses answer the following?

  by sandy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i seriously forgot many of the teachings of jw's.

  the more i read your posts and do research on my own the more i realize how little i really know about the bible and jw teachings.. .

  my question is this: if able and even enoch proved to be true followers of god even though imperfect why was it necessary for god to send his son to die for us?

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over the weekend, i decided to get into a "bad" rock band that i wasn't allowed to listen to as a jw.

  i chose to listen to tool/a perfect circle.

  their lyrics are so fitting and so true for jwdom, i even wonder if maynard james keenan, the lead singer of both bands was once a jw.. here are some lyrics exceprts.. eulogy.
