  Did John Denver hate Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mother once told me a story of how john denver supposedly hated jehovah's witnesses more then life itself.

  my legend, these are two examples i heard while in the witnesses .... 1. at a john denver concert, he once asked all jehovah's witnesses in the audience to leave.. 2. johnny carson once asked him if he did this, and when he said he did, johnny carson asked him to leave the show in rehearsal and re-booked someone else.. ... awhile back i started looking on the internet for information on this and could not see any proof of this and wondered if anyone ever heard this before or was it just something that was in our area.

  i have a feeling it is something others heard of.

  Correlation between personality types and religio-spiritual leanings?

  by daystar in

  someone in a completely different segment of associates from you old ex-jws here posed this wish:.

  i've often wished someone would do a study to see if there is a real correlation between personality type and religious/spiritual leanings.

  i've long noticed that in fantasy subcultures and "new" religions, as well as those that attract many adult converts (and have trouble retaining people born into the faith), the same types keep showing up.

  What are apostate lies?

  by vitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the hotting up of the wt articles about not listening to apostate lies.

  i was wondering, when you where in the borg did you ever wonder what these "lies" were.. its a strange thing but i never did.

  i never even knew what they said about us and i didnt care.. in other walks of life, if you hear that someone has been lied about, you usually want to know what it is (well i do cos im nosey) but in all my 20 years i didnt wonder about what the apostates were saying.

  an apostate lie is simply a truth told by an ex-JW

  what is the definition of an apostate by jw standards anyway?

  well what is "jehovahs" reason for doing this, according to the GB? more seasoned publishers as was mentioned earlier?

  well there is a thread out right now about a laid-off bethelite couple and the husband seems like he has an attitude, with reason im sure....but why would "jehovah" want "negative" publishers in the ministry....doesnt make any sense, he should be in the backroom and straightened up or just leave and get and a real job and house like the rest of us....LOL

  ok all you wile e. coyote super genius types.... .

  i have been looking at some of russell's charts and such and it is indicated that the millinial reign of christ would have begun in 1874 new understanding 1914..... .

  does this mean that we are now living nearly a 100 years into the 1000 year reign?

  i thought it was 1914 that jesus starting ruling and that the 1000 years would be the amount of time after Armageddon that humans have to become perfect before being tested again....someone help!

  Met a Laid off Bethel Couple

  by doinmypart in

  2. friends

  i met a married couple caught up in the recent bethel layoffs.

  they are a fairly young couple in their mid to upper 30s, i didn't think to ask which department they worked in before being laid off.

  the couple was driving cross country from new york to california, and stopping overnight at jw homes along the way.
