  Pit Bull dogs

  by Schizm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i want to start a discussion about pit bull dogs.

  i live next door to a new neighbor who owns an american pit bull dog (also a female of the same breed that's just given birth to three pups).

  when i'm in the owner's presence the dog allows me to pet him, but when the owner isn't present the dog acts extremely fierce to the point that i'm scared of him.

  Do you believe in psychics?

  by Oh Jebus, Save Me From Your Followers! in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi there everyone, just wanted to see if any of you believe in any psychics or paranormal activity.

  i know that as a jw we are taught that any ghosts are demons and any psychic activities are demonized.

  would love to hear any feedback and or any pesonal experiences you have had and if you believe they are all demons, or if there is a difference between good and bad spirits.

  sure, physics is what explains so much about the world around us

  OH, you mean the the other p word.....psychics....oops

  No, don't 'believe' in that stuff, if you mean I need some 'faith' that it is 'true' so I can 'believe', but am open-minded to any 'proof' available. I believe the human mind has a few unexplained tricks left to it, but like a flashlight to a pygmy, these are not miraculous nor magical - only need some cold hard science to wrap it up in a box and shelve somewhere.

  Call me a cynical bastard...its allright....cuz its true

  Sinamongurl....welcome to jwd.

  You are in good company (mostly) here. You have vast resources on every subject under the sun to do with the religion of jws. Take your time and don't get scared off if you read something painful or disturbing about said religion. Many of the people here go to great lengths to dissect all things jw to see if they are true or not.

  The fear and pain of disfellowshipping and 'what might happen' if Armageddon comes are key reasons why I don't believe such action has anything to do with christianity.

  Lurkers! The Watchtower's Hour of Test is Here

  2. beliefs

  while the watchtower is asset rich, contributions are another matter entirely.

  passive-aggressive witnesses are skipping.

  meetings and walking past lonely contribution boxes.

  Intriguing, Interesting, Thought-provoking posts to this thread.

  It would seem to me that the organization known as Jehovah's Witnesses is already dead.

  Like a great tree that has fallen in the forest, it may take many years or decades for it to be consumed.

  Since there is nothing new under the sun with this religion, and all that is left is re-hashed from bygone years, in what way does it have any life?

  I find it hard to believe that this religion could ever become mainstream due to the extreme arrogance of its hierarchy and the core members.

  Without the carrot at the end of the stick for the R&F of a 'paradise new order, right around the corner', and despite the explanation that 'we don't serve God for what he gives/promises us', the result will likely be mass exodus even more so than now.

  No matter what my personal feelings are having been born into that religion and a part of it for most of my 30+ years, it is a very interesting one from a historical perspective.....thank you all who detailed many of these things.

  2. friends

  last night's meeting was sooooo boring, i was in pain.

  i have been a witness my whole life and it's the same ole thing, meeting after meeting.. listen up, governing body...if you want to keep the rank and file from leaving (by the way, our congregation is missing half of it's publishers from the meetings on a regular basis) please change the format of the meetings.

  i don't know how much more i can stand.. last sunday, we had 68 in attendance at the public talk and 3 less that i know of for the wt study (cause we left).

  awesome stuff mary....too bad i'm not going this year to try it out!

  btw....don't forget the good ol' binocular trick under the pretense of 'finding the friends' you know, but really they make for finding all the hotties exposing a lil' more skin at inopportune moments during the sessions.

  Plus if for some unknowable reason I HAD to go to one of these, I damn well bring a 40 of Vodka and get completely blasted!

  boa.....

  ps...love all the thongs the sis' are wearing nowadays showing through all those 'modest' dresses lol
