  What Bothers You The Most About Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, i think it's their hypocrisy.

  they lead (the vast majority) a double life.

  and ultimately they look down on anyone not a jw yet they won't even wn up to it.

  Balsam Anewme Bythesea Codeblue Lovesdubs WOW Great words I appreciated the posts you all made thank you

  Sirona I was going to say a while after those fluttering feelings started in my stomach I found out I had ulcers, I'm not diagnosing just saying, so I'm glad the relaxation helped, you're going through a lot right now, so remember to take care of the inside bits of you, We really can get broken hearts from too much strain ,stress and worry. Take care of you dear one.

  It seems I have this whole process I have to go through to let go, and sometimes before I'm through one phase it repeats itself on me. Some close friends recently lost their mom to suicide and that is so hard to deal with. I've lost a couple friends and a family member the last couple years to cancer and grieving doesn't come easy no matter how it hits us. (((((Sirona)))))

  I'm thinking something must be in the dream phase, I dreamed last night I was Df'd and I was crying, mad, sad and glad at the same time!

  I Am Here Only To Experience

  by FMZ in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently, i was sat here at my computer, feeling completely hopeless.

  life was getting me down, and a few recent bombshells dropped on me were taking me further into the ground.

  i asked myself how i could possibly let this happen to my life, how i could find myself in this position..

  chapter one.

  page 5 ........that is why many are grateful for sound advice on how to reach thyeir goals and make their life more enjoyable and successful.. page 6.........recall this truth "all the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the comfort from the scriptures we might have hope".. page 8.........the book of ruth........that short book stresses the attatchment we should have to true worship, illustrates how highly god values women....... page 8.........another aspect to consider involves the terms "prophets" and "prophetic".

  There was a bit of a discussion on this earlier, the stuff goes in waves. for a while it will be stern and work,work,work... then consoling and comforting to make everyone "Feel Better". Now they need a veil over the R&F so they can have darkness, that way when there is "New Light" it will truly shine. or some such BS as that.

  I agree with you definately regurgitated reading to be sure.

  Page 18........Have you ever asked yourself, 'what sacrifices would I be willing to make to do Jehovah's work?

  I know a lot of the jw's kids can tell you all kinds of stories of neglect by parents, the things the kids were sacrificed for!

  Shocking Announcement: Society feels Armaggedon coming this year?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a rumor alert indeed, but it could be related to the distribution of kingdom news no.37, "false religions end is near.".

  the following is posted from e-watchman's forum.. make of it what you will, but in light of all the rhetoric about "deliverance at hand" and "independent thinking", nothing would surprise me anymore.. http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1502&st=0 we posted about an announcement it was only local to our cong.

  however we have found out that there is going to be an announcement sometime in september and it is supposed to be shocking.

  AK-Jeff Said

  I wasn't. No worry, the whole thing was a ploy to build excitement. I kept waiting the whole day for the 'special' part. It never came. Just two of the GB, giving talk after talk that said nothing new at all

  I remember attending some of those big assemblies and special talks and thinking I must be totally dim-witted to not "get" what was being said as exciting and overwhelming good news, I'm happy in way to know I wasn't the only one that felt that way. and saddened to think we wanted it to be true, wts what a true dissapoinment you are being!

  But then it didn't/doesn't take much to encourage a people that were waiting on time to run out.
