I'm so happy to hear that you and your family are back as a family again, and maybe when they look further into the UN matter, it will open their eyes a bit into what the org is really all about :)

Its always wonderful to hear a story of a couple who can stay happily married for so many years. But I think it was having a common religious belief that made them happy, and probably just they type of people they were- not because they were JWs.

Passing along information
by Caveat ina while ago i read an article somewhere where the org said that you shouldn?t pass along emails or unconfirmed stories without verifying the information and the source otherwise you?ll be contributing in spreading gossip.. do you think the rank and file jws are guilty of lying, since they are transmitting information that they themselves have not bother to confirm?.
does trusting the gb exonerates them somehow of their responsibility of verifying the information?.
those who know about some flaws in the teachings; are they in your eyes justified somehow to remain spreading them while staying in?

there have been changes.....
by lisavegas420 inhow would you respond to the following quote.....i got this from a pro jw site.
i don't post on the site, just read.......i just wanted to know how you all would respond to this post.never let anyone cause you to doubt the organization...true there have been changes in the past in which the society readily admits to but the bottom line is that this is the channel jehovah has chosen...remember the vision of his chariot...those wheels could change any direction on a dime...it is our responsibility to move with that chariot and keep up otherwise we will be left behind with nothing better to do than finding fault with this precious organization!.
i would like to know more about the chariot wheels too....

Just shows how the org is so expert on B.S. doubletalking and brainwashing, They have an answer for everything.If they make a mistake, it is because Jehovah hadn't revealed it to them yet. If JW's act on something and it doesnt work out that way, case in point 1975, then it is the publishers fault for acting in haste or whatever B.S. term they have now. The org never makes a mistake. God's spirit just keeps changing its mind that's all :)

The Loaded Question
by ezekiel3 inthere is a new fad presentation going around, a simple but loaded question.
"what would it take for you to be interested in the bible?
of course you can't say no, and if you say, "nothing" the followup question is "why?

I agree with stormfront, An arrogant person knocking unannounced at my door, asking an arrogant question that is none of their freakin' business anyways doesn't deserve an answer.Before slamming the door on them though, I would ask .. what would it take for you to get a life and leave everyone alone in peace...

Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe in God?
by Gill inif they did they would not feel the need for things like judicial committees.
they'd leave it to god who supposedly can see all to judge peoples heart condition.
i remember a young sister who left home and went to live with her boyfriend.

Yes .I agree with that also, Gill... JWS had been taught to fear Satan in their lives,, The whole religion is based on fear really.. afraid to displease God,, afraid of Satan taking ahold you (dont' go to apostate sites!!!). But most of all.. don't displease the elders and the society!!!!

Witnesses are taught to have faith in God based on the teaching from the Governing Body, The problem is- people find it hard to believe in something that is not tangible-even if they think their belief is based on faith alone. That is why they depend so much on teachings and publications from something they can relate to, a group of men claiming to be God's earthly representatives. So really, they don't believe in God , it is the God presented to them by the organization. A God that is their interpretation.
