  BAPTIZED WITTNESS W/QUESTIONS

  by tresbella in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am a 20 year old baptized wittness who for the past year has been trying to do some serious reserach on all the things i have been made to believe in the wt society.it only makes sense that my research should not only include those in the wt publications and so therefore i need some help:

  1. what is everyone's thoughts on society not allowing brothers to wear beards?

  i read somewhere that russel(society's first prez) had a beard and the second pres( russel) wanted to completely dissassosiate anything having to do with russel and so therefore outlawed against them.

  Just got back from the YMCA

  by Atilla in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i went to the y last night just to relax and go swimming.

  the y near my house is pretty clean and after 8 p.m., not very crowded.

  i find it very relaxing to go work out, play basketball, go swimming and then sit in the sauna after a long shower.

  Were You Treated With Respect When Counseled By The Elders?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew a certain few elders that really got off by "talking down" to the "flock".

  many elders were pretty nice guys but a few could turn----just like that!

  what was your experience with "those taking the lead", the "loving shepherds"???

  What is up with Kirk Cameron?

  by Markfromcali in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think that's his name - you know the kid from that show growing pains?

  i knew he was in the left behind movie and i think maybe another apocalyptic one, but then i saw him on some evangelical show talking about how to 'witness' to people, spouting a simplistic 'technique' of showing how people are sinners against the 10 commandments and then telling them you can be saved.. one thing that stands out is i could swear his acting in gp was more convincing than this spaced out kinda look he had in this show.

  you know the look i'm talking about?

  WT COUNSEL ON ABUSED ONES

  by tresbella in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it me or does the watchtower always give the counsel to tell the elders or someone in the congregation when one is being physically abused by her husband.

  would not the first thing to do is go to the police?

  or are we in fear of bringing "reproach on jehovah's name?

  jwmatch.com

  by obiefernandez in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am surprised that there hasn't been a discussion here (not that i can find anyway) about jwmatch.com.

  not only are they self-proclaimed, "the world's largest witnesses online community!

  " (sound familiar?
