  Hypothetical situation: What would you do?

  by winnie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  lets just say that the jw teaching regarding armageddon, living forever were true.. and lets say that many on this forum who still attend meetings somehow survive.. you don't agree with the teachings.

  you may not even like many others who survive.

  why would you want to live with the kind of people who continually judge others actions?

  Greetings winnie,

  Why would you want to live with the kind of people who continually judge others actions? Who are in no way flexible to the opinions of 'outsiders'? Why would you want to live a way of life that is rigid in rules and regulations, ones that you know are not right?

  Answer: Most here wouldn't.

  Blondie posted this yesterday in another thread. Food for thought at best.

  Some JW's will never see the light

  i heard my father telling my sister that yesterday's watchtower study contained new information, ie 'new light'.

  the thing is he was excited about it, said it gave him goosebumps.

  how does that even make any sense?

  You've got "the ball rolling". I'd tell him to sign on here. This is the best place I've found for any "dirt" (the truth really) on Watchtower

  Active JW's on this forum

  by winnie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having read posts over the last few months, i have come to the conclusion that there must be alot of 'active' jw's who still regularly attend meetings/field service etc.. don't you feel that by posting your many and varied topics, usually complaining/disagreeing with the wbts, that you are being hypocritical?

  when you post your information, obtained sometimes in an questionable manner, doesn't it make you question your own underhanded actions?.

  you converse with many on this forum who are disfellowshipped/dissasociated, yet if you knew who these ones were, face to face, you would not give them the time of day!

  :The sense of belonging in the WBTS is an illusion..Not one of yor old friends,would hesitate to betray you,on the WBT$ command..You know it,I know it,anyone who is,or has been a Jehovah`s Witness knows it.....Something to think about...OUTLAW

  I agree with OUTLAW. The "sense of belonging" that is felt imo is bogus. A more appropriate term would be, Do You Miss your Sense of Being Used. Just stop toeing/towing the watchtower line and see how "the friends" or "the brothers" take away that spurious "sense of belonging".

  My Bethel Experience Part 14

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my strange bethel courtship started with me trying to meet mike stillman's sister, even though he worked in the ink room next to my elevavator, we were not good friends, he was just a little to "country" for me........and on the righeous side too.

  they say "there is nothing more dangerious in combat then a new guy with a map!

  ".........and there was nothing more dangerious at bethel then a self righteous new boy.. anyway one beautiful saturday morning, in 1972, we were walking to the factory, mike happen to be walking with me, and he happen to say "god........i would give anything to get out of this city on a day like today"..........i said "well....... i have a car and no place to go.........you have a place to go and no car"...he wasn't quite sure of me, but.............next thing i knew, it's him and me and 4 of his nerdy friends driving to rhode island.. needless to say, it was a great weekend and debbie who had just turned 19 was happy that her brother finally brought someone home with him, who wasn't a nerd like his other friends.
