  Why are the publications anonymously written?

  by boa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the society would like to say this is done (except for the 'life stories') because 'all recognition' blah blah blah should go to jehovah...but what do you think are the real reasons why everything is published anonymously?.

  and, is this also a common practice in other religious articles/publications?.

  What happened to me?

  by boa in

  2. friends

  a few years ago....before i went to bethel....i was very troubled in mind and heart and quite fervently prayed to jehovah asking for help.....i really really poured my heart out when all of a sudden...... i went completely catatonic (i was lying down in bed on my back).

  i was still concious, but i felt like i was no longer a part of my body and in fact don't think i could've moved if i'd tried to.....it was very strange and i believe its only happened once since then (while during a heartfelt prayer).

  has this happened to any of you?.

  crisis of conscience....please help

  by boa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  allo folks.... .

  please tell me if you think a jehovah's witness could read crisis of concience and continue to be a jw after finishing it?

  since i have heard vague stories that there are some who have continued to be a jw, please relate the story and how you think this could be.

  Sheeplike behaviour?

  2. friends

  k, i just have to relate one of the most ridiculous situations i've ever been in and it happened at bethel.. as most of you know, they have a monday night wt study.

  (this makes 3 times you study the article if you prepare for it, attend monday, then again on sunday - jeece!

  ) since in canadian bethel there isn't enough room to have everyone in the kh they have there, they put others in 'satellite' rooms and hook up with video/sound.. anyway, one night, the study had ended and we were moving on to the song when the sound kicked out but the video still worked.

  People in other religions...

  by boa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a thought occured to me today about a formerly held view as a jw regarding people of other religions and people who left the 'truth'.

  the first view which had bothered me for many years and for some time hotly disagreed with, was the ol' bro or sis who comes back into the service car and remarks on how the householder was catholic and how they must be so stupid and blind!

  the second view i actually believed before was that all people leaving the org must certainly be hopeless and lost spiritually and obviously would never go to another religion.

  its my first post and i don't really know where to start, there been so much on my mind.

  i've been reading threads on this site like crazy and obtained a copy of coc from the library yesterday.

  i stayed up until 4am reading it, and i'm impressed with the way it was written - its just like reading a w only the subject matter is a little different hehe.. i'll break myself in gently with this site over time but basically a few things about me are: born in a jw family, baptized as a young teen, 1 yr aux pio, several yrs as reg pio, 1 year as 'special' full time pio at bethel.
