To answer your question, its simple. The members that are loyal WHICH ridiculously outnumber the FAKE members, follow the bible as best as they can. JW depicts the bible perfectly and the members are EXCEPTIONAL people. (not the pedophiles that unfortunately are everywhere in the world) But the real members which is tha majority of them. They clearly make the individual a better person, JWs are known for their kindness to society. Donations arent forced upon and pretty much EVERYTHING we stand for is righteous. Its a good path for salvation, im not saying that it is free of sin but what is holy can never be tainted.

And by the way, i know where my heart is, and that is to comply with Jehovah. But my actions arent in the same place, man i love sex, and sex loves me... but if i marry someone out of the org then ill definately try my best to incorporate my beleifs to her. And actually the girlfriends ive had pretty much listen to everything i say so its all good. But this i know...i find myself in ONE TIGHT predicament!

Look there are criminals and pervs EVERYWHERE, JW, Catholics, anywhere in the world...maybe even on this FORUM! It doesnt take away from what Jehovah has set down. And if you can find a more direct aproach to the bible other than the GOOD teachings of JW then go right ahead, but remember there is no truth without works, and salvation through Faith alone is impossible.

Excuse for what!? lol, what do you want them to say...''oh yes actually we train our elders in the art of penetrating young boys without making them scream''. Thats BS dude, whocares if the catholic church uses the same excuse, the catholic church actually ASSISTS the accused pastors to get the fuck outa dodge and relocate. That isnt what JW is about, you know it too.

What ive read on here is pretty much a bunch of JW's raping and sexually molesting people, mom killing kids etc etc. I mean, cmon...you ALL know that is NOT what we teach at the meetings, or in the BIBLE. They cant help it if there are some crazy fn lunatics out there. The wolf in sheepskin will ALWAYS be there. Overall, i am very confident that JWs are Righteous.

Then im screwed Man...lol. Thanks for the welcomes everybody, wow this site gets alot of posting! Anyway, i know for a fact some people there are fake. But the religion definately covers the structure that the bible has set down, and i respect that. I consider myself to be different than most people, i have a whole book on ''worldly'' experiences. But i wasnt raised that way, my dad was this HARDCORE mofo, got in fights everyday as a kid, he found the Religion and has based alot of his time on it. I agree with what the elders say, it makes sense and i like knowing that i am welcome there. Besides the chicks dig the suit! haha. Anyway, when i say ''settling down'' i mean start seeing just ONE person at a time, no way am i gonna marry someone.
There are alot of questions i have been pondering on. Some of them i ask my dad and he just puts my fire out, hes really knowledgable and i think its great. Maybe i can share some of my Q's in here sometime. Oh and by the way, by posting here it is obvious that i dont agree that we shouldnt make any connection with people that are OUT of the congregation, i think thats kinda bogus...if someones faith isnt strong enough to withstand other people who have been ''tainted'' then they might as well get out! -

At the Memorial......
by New Castles ini did make it to the memorial with my wife this past sunday.
at first everything was going the same as always...the talk, the passing of the crackers and wine, but then towards the end the brother giving the speech did something i had never seen.
he was talking about how we could never pay a price for what christ has given for us...he then pulled a big wad of cash with what was clearly either a 20 or 50 on the front and flashed it to everyone in the audience.

I pertain to a congregation in the Orange County. From the ages of around 5-16 i went to all the meetings etc etc. I am currently 18 years of age, Although i am not the ''ideal'' christain boy, i have strong faith in Jehova. I appreciate everything i learned from childhood. My parents constantly attend but i am unable to due to Sports, 2 Jobs, and everything else. Ive pretty much left it behind except for the occasional visits. I admit that even though my faith in God's word is strong, and i appreciate the Congregation...I sin like NONE OTHER. For this i do feel bad, really i do, let me tell you a little bit about myself... I play Water Polo, i do Swimming, I do Kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu. At school i dont usually associate with the other members of the congregation, even though they are very nice kids. But i think they tell the elders that i am a man whore at school (which is kinda true, i do have many women although im starting to settle down with one) My parents dont know that i have been having sex since i was 16, i used to party ALOT...but now i stick to work and school. I get paid very well with my 2 jobs. Anyway, i still get angry and i will do what i can to defend Jehovas Witnesses.
Thanks...Peace Out
P.S. I one day plan to devote my life to the congregation once i get married and overcome this stupid phase of sin. -

Have you ever considered the fact that he was trying to prove his point? That not enough CASH (as a symbol) is sufficient enough to even begin to compare to the sacrifice Christ made? I think you are immature.
