  A question on time...

  by Andyman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some time back i read something about a new time arrangement involving 15 minutes of time being turned in.

  does anyone have the whole story about this?

  does a person get a whole hour for only 15 minutes of preaching?

  Comments on Connie Chung / CNN

  by Amazing in

  outstanding !!!

  ... actually, connie was too nice to the jw leaders in her questions ... and i appreciate the two young ex-jw girls who connie interviewed ... they were straight forward, clear, and credible ... and they did a good job making the case ... and kudos to bill bowen for calling the watchtower's statement a bold-faced lie, because that is what it is ... the watchtower society clearly lied as to what they say their policy is, and what has been practiced in real life.

  great job !!!

  Do Jws help disfellowshipped ones or apostates?

  by haujobbz in

  1. jw

  .

  do you think that, if say you fell over and and seriously injured yourself in the street, would a jw you knew passing by help you knowing that you were disfellowshipped or so called apostate.

  maybe even come to see you at home if you were unwell or depressed,i mean how many witnesses have assisted or helped you when you needed it mostly,you see i thought they were supposed to encourage you to become so called spiritually stronger.but saying that when you were active as a jw do you think you were helped in times of distress or illness by your fellow jw,for instance i know a woman who's still a witness but hasnt been to meetings for say a year and thats because she has severe athritis and guess what only 1 j-dub has wrote to her so to her it seems like if your not a regular at meeting you may as well be classed as disfellowshipped.

  What does the average Witness know?

  by Grunt in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have to wonder what the average witness today knows?

  i guess they are under orders not to talk to anyone that might actually be able to inform them of any facts that are negative or unflattering to the society, but what have they found out anyway, through whatever means, even the publications?.

  1. do they know that russell got a lot of dates from the measurements of pyramids, including 1914?

  1. jw
  2. friends

  im not sure if this has been discussed before but id be interested to read some comments from those who became jws later in life.

  what caught your attention and sucked you in?.

  my parents became jws when i was 5 years old, so it was pretty much the only way of life that i knew.

  the dateline show is beating a dead horse brought up by malcontents.. it brings up a dead issue because the society is sending out.

  The JW life

  by TweetieBird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mother-in-law, who has several children, leads a miserable existence because of being a witness.

  she stays in constant turmoil because usually at any given time one or more of her children is in a disfellowshipped state.

  none are spiritual giants, however all believe that the witnesses have the truth except one, my spouse.
