  What Are "Sins" That Are Unique To A Jehovah's Witness???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here's one to start the ball rolling.

  if you are not feeling well, have a headache, a backache, whatever but you would go to work but didn't go to a meeting or in "field service"---then you "sinned" against jehovah.....any others?

  Were You Afraid Of The Elders?.Did Ya Love Em?...What Was Your View of Them

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've heard of brothers and sisters saying that they have "prayed for the elders because they love them for their hard work and sacrifice".

  i've also heard of how some in the congregation were petrified of the elders and of course, there were those that said they were either only men or that they were direct representatives of jehovah god himself.

  Amazing How So Many JWs Practically Worship The Literature...

  by cypher50 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently, i had to help my mom move from ny...she has just retired and has been a witness for over 30 years.

  i wouldn't call her devout in that she never misses field service or that she would walk through horrible weather to get to a meeting but she is devout in a sense that she will believe whatever the wts puts before her.... anyway, my two older brothers who are also "in the truth" were helping go through what stuff we were going to move when we came to her literature stash.

  my mom is an extreme packrat and we had been throwing so many items that she had bought over the years without even opening the boxes (the items got old & musty so they were unusable to others .

  What Made Things Finally "Click" With You To Know This Was Not The Truth?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me it was the realization that there was no "faithful & discreet slave", that all the prophecies "proving" that jehovah's witnesses are the only religion approved by god is bogus and the realization that this is a "cult" and there is no real normal sense of love and affection in the "truth".
