  and its 'goodbye from him'

  by dostprefer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've taken a leaf from holly's book to thank your for having me on the forum - thirteen interesting days but came to realise one cannot achieve much speaking from behind a screen.

  people do not know who you really are, nor do you they.

  i read many of holly's posts but few others.

  there are at least three phrases of four words each in this quote from paradise lost which accurately describe some topics and postings about jehovah's witnesses.

  can you spot them?

  - enjoy!.

  i know someone who is getting married and i am amazed how much money she spent.

  she is a student and works part-time and if she's lucky makes $650 a month.

  her fiance has a full time job but it goes for bills.

  Do you ever DEFEND Witnesses?

  by GetBusyLiving in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know i come on here a lot and laugh at the crazy stuff i used to believe.. it's a terrific place to vent my frustration at the org.

  and share experiences with people who understand.

  but i find that when some people trash talk witnesses who were never part of it i end up sort of defending them usually.

  Branch Split in the Watchtower Kingdom

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  before you read anything, you should be aware that i do not know what i am talking about.

  it seems clear now that the watchtower religion has already started to decline, in the western world at least.

  how will this decline play out in the future - this is one of the most interesting questions relating to the watchtower at the moment: will the witnesses enjoy a slow leisurely decline over many decades, or can we expect a major split and disintegration in the near future?

  The Social Structure in the Congregation

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?

  to say that jesus said his followers should all be on equal footing, it's incredible how much the r&f witness is not on equal footing.

  the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:

  demon attack in Kingdom Hall

  by Noumenon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  i once heard about a sister that was having a lot of trouble with demons, and apparently she had a bad demon attack in the kingdom hall.. anyone else heard of such a thing?

  so much for the house of jehovah being some sort of refuge.. i have also heard of a witness who still experienced a demon attack despite calling out jehovah's name aloud.
