i for one, would blindly trust just about anyone on this forum, just the fact of knowing that you already were a jw.. does this mean that jw's in general are better people or are we a very close bunch of people?.

When I left the borg, I asked my non witness family to forgive me for any offence that I had caused in word or deed while I was a JW.

They all smiled and said they had already forgiven me (even though sometimes my "making a stand" drove them nuts) You see I felt I had to give a good witness, it was my way of proving I had faith........

Rosalee..................you have really made me cringe, that maybe, just maybe I had the same arrogant, self righteous attitude as you have. You may not think it but you are displaying the WT to a T, well done. And that my friend has nothing to do with doing God will or doing what the bible tells us.

I just wanted to add that if ever you want to be completely honest, about the witness world, and have any doubts or questions, the majority here will completely embrace you, as would I

***w767/15p.441ASolidBasisforConfidence***If anyone has been disappointed through not following this line of thought, he should now concentrate on adjusting his viewpoint, seeing that it was not the word of God that failed or deceived him and brought disappointment, but that his own understanding was based on wrong premises.

How did people swallow that insult..................................

ONCE UPON A TIME....JESUS DIDN'T HAVE A BEARD. Watchtower silliness

by Terry in

when i started going to the kingdom hall it was late 1950's and jesus christ did not have a beard in any of the society's illustrations.. when did this begin?

what article justified this?.

i'd like to see either a watchtower explanation of why jesus went beardless or any scan of an article that was apologia for the contrarian view.. suddenly, years later, the watchtower society agreed with christendom!

vitty

Biblical evidence is the most reliable testimony to be found on this question, and a recent careful review of what it says indicates that Jesus did indeed have a beard.

Idiots !

ARE YOU PSYCHIC..........................AND WHAT DID YOU THINK AS A JW ?

by vitty in

i think all people can communicate at a higher level for eg how many can times do you and your partner think of the same thing at the same time?

or you can be thinking of a person and they ring you?.

but if you really feel that you are psychic or that you communicate with "dead people" how did you cope with it when you were a witness?.

Did you think it was demons? I knew someone who thought he was being sexually bothered by demons

Or does it just come into fruition once you are out of the mind trap of the borg?

whats you experiences?

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS COULD OBJECT TO THIS.................JWS THATS WHO

my non jw aunt has died and attending the funeral will be many non witness family and friends and also jw family.

they have caused a lot of hurt these past couple of years and they have given a really "bad witness" (im really glad).

they are so pious, because they "make a stand " at every oppurtunity they can and act like spirtual polise this really pisses my non jw family off, but they put up with it.. well my aunt wanted "morning has broken" sung at the funeral and yes youve guessed it they have already said that they will not join in cos its a hymn.

vitty

To be honest I dont know why they go to these events.............they dont take part and they leave everyone annoyed. They really arent wanted there but they are family and the non JW family dont want to cause a fuss, so they just get away with whatever they want to say and do. They make really unfeeling, uncaring comments...............I dont have to say we all know the kind of thing.................I try and smooth things over by saying they dont really mean it................but ive decide no to do it anymore, and if they fall out so be it.

I dont blame them individually because they are caught up in what they think is right, but its just not !!!
