Race doesn't matter.
The only thing that I won't date is a fat woman. Is not that I'm shallow, but something that a person can change and doesn't, it's unacceptable to me.

Would You date a black man or black woman?
by Save My Soul inmy sister-in-law is recently divorced and went to a witness online dating site.
she mentioned that many of the witnesses specified that they wanted a white or latino only.
of course there is nothing wrong with this (personal preference), but i found it interesting.

I love youtube. You could say I'm a youtube junkie. When I'm over my friend's or they're over my place and if there's nothing to do, I always have to show them a cool clip that's on youtube.
I didn't see everybody's posts, but I'm sure they suck, LOL
Alright, keep on trucking.

"Ring" or "Knock" ? --- "Once" or "twice" ?
by JH inin the field service, i never rang the door bell.
i would knock all the time, because a person could be working midnight to eight and i could wake them up.
ok, the real reason was that i didn't want them to answer the door.. and i would knock like this: "knock knock knock".......then i'd wait about 30 seconds and then another "knock knock knock" but not any harder...and i'd walk away with contentment.

This topic reminded me of how retarded that is and looks. Going from house to house, in a suit. It would make it less retarded if it was casual clothes.

Have you let go of waiting for Armageddon?
by Fisherman inalthough, after experiencing many disappointments and failed dates, i cannot let go and i cannot dismiss the expectation that god will intervene somehow.
i still hold on, hoping that maybe i will not experience sheol and neither will some of my loved ones.
how about you?

Yes I have. I have a different point of views now. Most of my ethics today are based on what I learned from the Bible, but I'm not religious or spiritual anymore. I do try to better myself everyday, but I don't think there's going to be any Ar-Ma-Get-It-On. In my opinion, you should not worry about stuff like that, you won't enjoy life that way, at least when you're near your end, you won't regret anything.

Wow, I can remember like it was yesterday. Raised a JW, after I left I was complexed for the next year, didn't know what life had for me. I was uncertain, and scared. But I have learned so many things about life. I got a good job that I love and that pays goods, and still moving on up. I'm going back to college this year. Everything is looking up for me, the dark years are over.

I thought I was alone
by elinor ini just could not believe it when i stumbled across this forum recently.
i was actually doing research for my dad who wanted to see the world's viewpoint of the failed 1975 prophecy.
he came into the truth less than three years ago and though my mom has been a witness since she was a teenager she never spoke of that particular time period to him.

Wow, the Daniel Book was the one that tested my faith. I felt the same way you did, it opened my eyes, I mean, the way they were applying the prophecies, it was so ridiculous and without no prove. That did it for me, that book study just made realize it was all bullshit.

AuntieJane, when I decided to tell my parents they didn't want me at home so I left. They didn't want to do anything with me. Even when I moved out I helped out my siblings anyway I could, more than my father. When my mom saw that she apologized to me and she admitted that she acted wrong and to forgive her. A few months later my dad had a stroke and was disabled. I told my mom about my plans to start college and she welcomed me back home to help me out. She doesn't attend the meetings that much anymore, about 2 times a month, or when the elders come to talk to my family. Recently in the past 2 weeks the elders have to tried to talk to me but I just go to the my room and lock my door and do not say a word. They tried to get me to sign a letter through my mom saying I renounced begin a Jehovah's Witness, and I refused. I do not know their next move. I ignore any elders when I see them, and I haven't seen any jws that I know.
Thanks to everybody in this board that participates, I like reading what everybody else thinks about different subjects.

I'm 21 and I'm very glad the internet exists, if it wasn't for this unlimited library I would still be a witness. I was raised a witness and never knew anything else but a witness life. I suffer a lot while being a child and a teenager, didn't have much friends and so was a loner. My self-esteem was down to the floor. I was miserable till I got out of it.
I still remember when I searched Jehovah's Witnesses through a search engine and stumbled upon freeminds.org, I was a devoted witness but wasn't closed minded so I read the material. I didn't want to believe and I even left a post calling Randy and everybody else a liar. But I still kept on reading the webpage because one section caught my attention. It was the section on kids in the watchtower which I identified with most of what it said. I also read Watchtower Psycology, but I still wasn't conviced. When I went back to the meetings, I started to notice that everything on the webpage was true, the hypocrosy, the methods they used on the literature, I started to notice every little detail. Then I came to research more and read about the false prophecies and the UN scandal. That's when I decided to go to College, it took me a while, but I'm starting classes this September.
Thanks to the Internet.

Watchtower Aug. 15, 1968 says to ignore Jesus about tthe time of the end..
by AloneinOh intalking about 1975 and the push by the society got me to looking at some older quotes.
this one here really bugged me and still pisses me off when i read it.
in this instance they are telling you to forget about jesus and listen to the society.

I have the Watchtower Volume of 1968, I looked up this page, and that article does not appear, I later find a quote in the Sept 15, page 562, quote(Translated by me) "
"Does this mean armageddon will come in 1975?". Nobody can tell for sure in any year in particular. Jesus said,"Nobody knows the day or the hour, nobody.(Marc. 13:32)"Well I did not find that article you're talking about? Is the Watchtower in English different in Spanish?
