  Help in Disappearing!!!!!

  by Coqui in

  2. friends

  my family and i have been away from the meetings for about three years but we still are watched carefully and get the occasional "we miss you" visit.

  we will be moving out of state 1,500 miles away.

  in todays internet age with access to so much info, phone #'s and adresses is it really impossible to truly escape?

  it doesn't take huge huevos/cojones to make a call to the local elders...
  
  if you don't have any personal info online, i doubt they can find out anything anytime soon. even if they would, the new elders usually would give up faster than the old ones.
  
  me thinks.

  if you could ask someone who is about to be baptized a question to make him think, what would you ask?

  thanks, carla

  ask if (s)he will be baptised in the name of the father, the son and the holy ghost or if there is a different formula. if it is different, ask for biblical backup.

  From which daughter of Eve do you come from?

  i found this interesting.... a persons maternal ancestry is traced by mitochondrial dna or mtdna for short.

  both men and women possess mtdna, but only women pass it on to their children.. so we all inherit our mtdnas from our mothers, but not from our fathers.

  your mother inherited it from her mother, who inherited it from hers, and so on back through time.

  if you had more than one mom, that would probably be possible. but never heard of such a case...

  Could the Spirit world have helped your exit from the religion?

  by free2beme in

  2. friends

  boy, this might be that can of worms i meant to keep closed!.

  i was thinking about something though and wondered what your thoughts might be.

  if you believe in angels, the spirit realm, spirit guides or spirits of loved ones that have crossed.

  yes, the spirit world helped me losing my religion. because the religion suggests the existence of spirits while i don't see any.

  Philosophy - is it worth the bother?

  by Abaddon in

  2. friends

  i fully admit to only having dabbled in the waters of philosophy up to now.

  i kept on being put off by the smell... .

  having said that, is there anyone more clued up than me about the subject who can tell me anything that might make me change my mind?.

  philosophy, the love of wisdom. that's not a profession to learn, that's the attraction to the art of thinking. and from what i have read, you're good at it.

  A Challenge For FunkyDerek... My Experiences With The Afterlife

  hey mate, don't mean to pick on you, but i know you are a good sport.

  ;) to all other non-believers, this thread is also for you..

  it seems you always want proof and evidence of some kind of afterlife, but always have a "reasonable explanation" for any evidence put forth.

  What is a Bier Contest in Germany?

  by toladest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is this a beer drinking or making contest?

  i was looking up the name of a dub that i grew up with (not really a friend, more an acquaintance) and his name is on a german web site.

  i know it is him because it says where he is from (city and state) and his first name is spelled unusually and his last name is not common.

  the contest is about the best beer, but the names list is the jury. and the jury has to taste the beer to vote which is the best one. and to taste it you have to drink it... lots of it ;-)

  What does your name MEAN?

  by RichieRich in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all are identified by our names here on jwd.

  some use their real names, and others pick a moniker that is their nickname or perhaps a few words from a song they like.. why did you pick your name?.

  for instance,.

  There were some good things about the organisation...

  by Do I Stand Alone? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have read a number of experiences in this discussion forum and quite frankly, i would have to agree that many, if not all, were pretty terrible experiences if not all together traumatic.

  i know that my personal 9-11 tragedy resulted in finding out that the watchtower society was involved with the united nations.

  that pretty much said it all as far as my "career" in the organisation was concerned.
