  The lure of paradise earth?

  by little witch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can someone explain to me what the excititment is concerning paradise earth, as the dubs see it?

  paradise seems to be the carrot on a stick for witnesses, but little information seems to be offered.

  from what little discription they do give it seems to me to be a boring place to be.

  The Preaching Work: A Colossal Waste of Time

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  many people who post here have had similar experiences to my own: x number of years going door-to-door, informal witnessing, placing books, magazines, doing return visits, but having no one ever come into the truth?

  by virtue of their efforts.. members of my own family who are still jws similarly have nothing to show for their trouble of regularly engaging in the ministry over many years (decades, actually).. any guesstimates out there as to how much of your life you wasted participating in the preaching work?

  my first post in this forum

  by trumangirl in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hello, just introducing myself.

  i'm an inactive witness, been so for a few months now.

  got put off mostly by 1914 being hammered more and more lately, the child molestation issue, the un-ngo thing and just feeling like i don't want to shoot my mouth off and get labelled apostate so best to fade out.

  Partaking/Communion

  by simplesally in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as jws, most of were not allowed to partake of the emblems as we were considered unworthy.

  only those of the remnant were allowed and expected to partake.

  partaking meant you were heaven bound and part of that kingdom ................ well a king so to speak.. but if jw's follow the model...........would anyone have been left out of the meal?
