Before I wasn't scared to die. I didn't care really. But, that was when I was a full time JW.
Now I am scared to die. I don't want to die and not be able to live life. I don't want to go yet and have everything take away from me again.

Does dying scare you?
by JH in.
as jw dubs, we were sure we would live forever.
when we left the organization, probably we all started to accept that paradise wouldn't be around the corner, and that we would probably die like everyone else around us.. how do you deal with the fact that you will one day die?

Does God really care about us?
Part 11
That prophecy is now being fulfilled among those who submit to 'God's ways and walk in his paths.' The last book of the Bible speaks of this peace-loving international society of people as "a great crowd . . . out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues," a true global brotherhood serving God unitedly. And the Bible also says: "These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation." That is, they will survive the end of this evil system of things
Tribe:
Entry: association Part of Speech: noun Definition: group Synonyms: affiliation, alliance, band, brotherhood, bunch, circle, clan, clique, club, coalition, combination, combo, company, confederacy, confederation, congress, cooperative, corporation, crew, crowd, family, federation, fellowship, fraternity, gang, guild, hookup, league, mob, order, organization, outfit, partnership, pool, rat pack, ring, society, syndicate, tie-in, tie-up, Tribe, troops, troupe, union, zoo Nation:
Entry: Nation Part of Speech: noun Definition: country Synonyms: body politic, colony, commonwealth, community, democracy, domain, dominion, empire, kingdom, land, monarchy, people, populace, population, principality, public, race, realm, republic, society, sovereignty, state, tribe Tongue:
Entry: Tongue Part of Speech: noun Definition: language Synonyms: argot, articulation, dialect, discourse, expression, idiom, language, lingo, parlance, patois, speech, talk, utterance, vernacular, voice Using the JW Bible "The New World Translation of the Hole Scriptures" (en shit)
Says in Revelation 7:9.....After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands.
Wouldn't Tribe, Nation and, Tongue mean everyone? Every person from every religion? It doesn't make sense to me. What do you think?

Obligations to Friends
by StinkyPantz inare there any?
to restate: when is comes to being friends with someone, are you "obligated" to do certain things?
-
-
whyamihere
Well when you do feel an obligation just do what I do.
Say "Oh I wished I could but, I really don't want to!"
They think about it and get the picture. It's funny but, its gets it right to the point!

Hilarious rumours!!!
by gerbils inwhen my father stepped down from being an elder in the congregation, due to him wanting to spend more time with the family, a lot of people were very curious as to why he did.
the shocking rumour started going around as to the reason why- my dad had been caught having gay sex in a car with another brother, and they were caught in the act by a pioneer sister in the congregation!.
on hearing the gossip dad actually couldn't speak for a whole 1/2 hour!

Being a JW Woman - Was It Really That Bad?
by eljefe ini have seen quite a few posts from many ex-jw women about how unhappy they were about male domination in congregation.
was it really that bad?
when i was still a jw, no one ever told me anything to that effect.

I couldn't wear certain things.
The elders kept saying that I was wearing things that may cause a stir. I had Big Boobs what hell do I do tape them down?

Strange disfellowshippings!
by AK - Jeff ina few years back a 'sister' in our hall was df'd for marrying a disfellowshipped man.
they were both free to remarry 'scripturally' - in their late-middle years of life.
i asked one of the local pharrasies why?

My husband and I were marked because we got married and I was not baptized...even though I tried for years to get baptized!
Blood sucking bastards for the dark pitts of hell....ok I am done!
However I am thankful that did happen because I am out and it made me see the truth!
One of my good friends did get DF'ed because he married a DF'ed person....Although the elder said to him before he couldn't get into trouble or DF'ed for it...then took it back saying "well what I meant was you could get DF'ed" and then dropped him!
