  When you were a JW, which would you have prefered living on earth or heaven

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you were a jw and believed that either you could live in heaven or on earth eternally, which did you prefer and why?.

  although we were told that heaven was a better place to live, that we would see god, and that we would live eternally and never die, i prefered living on earth, never see god, and not 100% sure of living eternally, cause we would still be mortals forever, even though we could live eternally on earth.

  most jw's i know said that they would have prefered living on earth eternally in perfect health than living in heaven.

  Home from Circuit Assembly

  by RichieRich in

  as some of you knew, my circuit assembly was this weekend (dec 24 and 25).

  the theme was "clothe yourselves with the new personality".

  i guess the society has to reinforce the idea of humility, because apparently, you can't mislead haughty people.. from the sound of the accounts report, people are voting with their wallets.. nothing particularly egregrious was said.. luckily my mother had a fever this morning, so we got to leave at lunch.

  2. experiences

  i have been studying with the jw for just over 3 years.i have always believed in god and the bible.

  the path my life took ended up with me being a single parent of 4 children.. the jws led me down the path of the "truth".

  my grandmother disowned me and i just couldnt understand why.i was told that satan was lurking round every corner trying to get me away from god.

  Which religion is right for you?

  by seesthesky in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you scored as judaism.

  your views are closest to those of judaism.

  if you are not a jew, do more research on judaism and possibly consider becoming one; however, realize that conversion to judaism is difficult.

  What's your expierence at a DUB wedding/reception?

  by stillAwitness in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm invited to wedding/reception tomorrow (on christmas-naturally) only reason i'm going is because its my one chance to get new shoes, dress, the whole bit at my mother's expense (since she seems to think i will find my future middle-aged elder husband at one of these functions)

  i definetly plan to buy one of those mini-bottles of seagrams and get buzzed of course.

  who wants to listen to 10 different speeches from family and friends about "how wonderful this spiritual union is of so and so) yawn!

  Do you feel that Jehovah drew you away from Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by Scatteredsheep in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just joined this forum and while reading old entries came across the following question from may/05: "do you miss feeling that jehovah was listening to your prayers?

  " that question and the responses gave me the courage to ask the above question.

  about 3 years ago, 5 publishers, including me, were disfellowshipped after jehovah led us to speak up to our elders regarding their inconsiderate treatment of victims who came to them for help.

  while you were associated with the jehovah's witnesses did you have the peace and joy that the bible, especially the new testament says jesus' followers will have in abundance?

  someone told me there are statistics showing that ultimately one third of jws leaving will go back to the borg.
