  Field service might have been the dumbest things in jdub lore.I mean ,it's not bad enough you have to act differently everywhere you go,now you have to go onto peoples property and explain how thier not good enough to live forever with you,good grief.

  how long to baptism?

  by lost truth? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have recently started a bible study, and think that i may like to be baptised.. i was wondering how long does someone have to study before they are baptised?.

  also, i was wondering how many hours do people spend on their mission (door to door).

  i would be thankful for any help, as i am just like many, searching for awnsers.

  Lost truth ,welcome.

  Jehovahs witness peole on the most most part are not bad individuals,but it is very easy to get sucked into the way of thinking that the oirganization promotes.

  Thier doctrines are no stupider than any other organized religion{fairy tales,rules ,guilt,donations,raiseing children,ect},but thier level of enforcement is much higher.Don't be suprised if they butt into your personal life,or make "suggestions" on what you should do ,say,even think.

  i recomend following what you think is right,and do not get babtized,that changes everything,you will no longer answer to yourself,you will answer to WTBTS and thier power hungery elders and other henchmen.

  good luck.STP

  The Gay Elder

  by Mastodon in

  2. friends

  i just heard from back home (puerto rico), about this elder i know (i was good friends with his daughter), that just got df'd for homosexuality.

  this is how the story goes:

  he was an elder for over 20 years and he even claimed to be of the "annointed class'.

  You think too much...!

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  discussing jw doctrine with my parents this week, ..sigh!...i was told by my mother that i think too much and that i should just have faith in the governing body, because it 'is a progressive organization'....sigh!...what can you say?

  i told her that the wtbts was just a business and unfortunately she was in a cult and 'brainwashed'.

  at this she screeched, 'me!

  Gill--I have a similar scenario.I think that men in general can reason better in this situation.So with your dad,emotions may not be playing a big part in all of this.My father has been in and out of the falsehood now many times,he runs hot and cold with it,and he cant stand the organization at times,but he still believes this is the closest thing to the "truith" out there.

  My mom on the other hand,just needs to be involved.I truly don't believe she will ever let go.I sometimes feel guilty for trying to convince her otherwise.I also pity her in a sense because I think traumatic experiences in her life made her think this was the answer.

  Sounds like you should direct more of the cut and dry bull at your dad,and pity your mom.Maybe if your dad changes,your mom will follow.

  Who cares if the JWs are right?

  by new light in

  2. beliefs

  this is by no means an original idea, but even if the jws have been right all along, i don't care.

  if pleasing god means not knowing what to think or feel without checking with headquarters first, then i don't need him.

  who would want to be caught up in an eternal nightmare where the entire population was a braindead mass of clean-cut yes men?
