Still Totally ADD Considering that you're expected to thank God constantly for anything and everything even remotely positive in your life (and sometimes even the negative things), it's shocking that that C.O. would claim that your baby was not a blessing. Doesn't the Witchtower teach that children are a blessing, and that the means by which we create children (i.e. sex) is a gift from God to married people?

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?
by Funchback inthere were many addressed to me.
for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.
i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

I appreciate "our" free speech.
by The Rebel ini had given serious consideration too leaving the board.
i rationalised my views on " muslims" we're not held by the majority so i should leave.
but this would have been wrong thinking, instead i should appreciate the platform i was given to debate with free speech.

hothabanero People like you are part of the problem. There was no reason to be so rude to Spoletta. She had an excellent point, and you know it.

UK Terrorists attacks
by Phoebe ini don't know if anyone has talked about this yet, forgive me if they have.
but i am just so, so sad that yet more innocent lives have been so brutally taken.
we've now had three attacks in three months and there has been countless terror attacks stopped by the police.. my jw acquaintances see these attacks as proof the end is near.

If they think the end is near, you ought to remind them that during the Holocaust, many JWs and people of other faiths believed the end was near then, and oh gee, which is worse, the Holocaust or recent events in the UK?

Worship of Men?
by HereIgo ini remember when i was in as a teenager, some time around 2006, samuel herd of the governing body came to dedicate our newly built hall.
i remember bumping into him accidentally and a brother pulled me aside and half jokingly and half seriously telling me that i should be more careful around jehovah's anointed ones.
it was quite comical to say the least.

If a person is transgender and gets saved what will they go to heaven as?
by Nikorasu95 ini know this is a stupid question because the answer is obvious, but if a person was born a male and gets transgender surgery to turn into female will that person go to heaven as a male or female if they died saved?
i think they will go to heaven with the gender they were born with.

The answer is obvious? Really? You say that, then you say you think they will be reverted back to the gender they were born as. How is that an "obvious" answer? Sounds like you've still got JW in you. Only a heartless God would force people to be in whatever gender they were assigned at birth, regardless of how they feel and how miserable they are not being allowed to be their true selves. Sure, He could easily make them happily accept the way they were born, but that would be robbing them of their free will, and last time I checked, that goes against His own principles.

One of the most defining thing that made me question JW church after 27 years was seeing the funeral discourse outline.
by Chook init gave the poor bastard who past away no respect, hardly mentioned anything about the deceased.
yet hijacked the event with cult propaganda..

Oh, they're not dead, they're just going to sleep for a while, and the propaganda is a bedtime story to help them rest peacefully until they wake up, fresh and invigorated, in the new system.

If it is, then it's an insult to every single Holocaust victim and survivor, regardless of their religion. THAT should have been the start of it. Nothing worse has ever happened in the history of this planet.

Jackson's rose colored watch only cost $399, don't use it as an argument.
by Bad_Wolf ini looked up that watch and see it for $399.
https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-watch/apple-watch/rose-gold-aluminum-pink-sand-sport-band?afid=p238%7csit8pgwuv-dc_mtid_1870765e38482_pcrid_138112194227_&cid=aos-us-kwgo-pla-watch--slid--product-mq142ll/a&product=mq142ll/a&step=detailunsure if the original gold cost a lot more or not, but if told somebody that rose watch is 17,000 and they see it's $399, it'll look like an 'apostate lie'.

Walmart of all places has many beautiful, efficient watches for under $20. I only paid $12 for mine, and it has an actual turquoise stone on it. The battery it came with has lasted more than a year so far, as did the previous one for an identical watch I lost. There is never an excuse to waste money like that. You can literally feed a family of three for an entire month on less than $400.
