  JWstruggle has that image posted on its site. Based on the other images that it posts it is unlikely that this or any other images on that site is taken from any Watchtower literature.

  "What will I do if I leave Jehovah's Witnesses ?"

  by Balaamsass2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  whenever we visit the board we see a lot of angst among jehovah's witnesses who are just learning the tatt (the truth about the truth).

  hey, don't feel bad, we had it at one time ourselves.

  "angst means fear or anxiety (anguish is its latinate equivalent, and anxious, anxiety are of similar origin).

  Thank you, Balaam, for that word of encouragement.

  As I said on another thread those guys have the pick of the litter. I have noticed something curious though; young brothers marrying women 10 to 15 years older than them. The couples on both sides of the great divide probably reason to themselves that they're not going to grow much older because Paradise is soon to come.

  How to Choose a Wife!

  back in the day, when my family moved to a new congregation, i fell head over heels with a young sister who was an elder's daughter.

  it wasn't long before we were talking about marriage and i was contemplating buying her an engagement ring.

  my parents were not happy at all.

  Village Idiot erroneously said, "I've heard that men outnumber women 2 to 1 making it difficult for a woman to get a husband."

  Correction, it's actually the reverse.

  How long do JW study the bible with someone? Until baptism?

  by Lynnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a 35 year old cousin who got baptized last year after rejecting the jw since she was 13. not sure what happened to change her mind, i suspect it's all about family since her dad is an elder and her two sisters are very much in.

  her oldest sister is married to a middle management guy in bethel.

  so she studied for about 2 years until she decided to get baptised.

  Lynnie, In my day 6 months was the minimum time needed. Also, I continued a Bible study past my baptism though it wasn't a common thing. There was something about the one on one rapport that appealed to me.

  anti-missionary group yad l'achim had claimed christians were planning a 'mass baptism' and launched protest campaign in ra'anana.. the raanana municipality has canceled an event organized by the jehovahs witnesses in israel, concerned that the religious groups meeting would hurt the feelings of the public.

  the event, which should have been held saturday in the raanana municipal sports center, was canceled following pressure by the anti-missionary group yad lachim.

  Label, would you then prevent Mormons from doing the same thing? Who will draw the limits as to which group is to be censored and which not?

  Don't men in the congregation have the pick of the litter? I've heard that men outnumber women 2 to 1 making it difficult for a woman to get a husband.
