  Do you have to be "gullible" in order to be a good JW?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in french we use the word "naif", which means to believe anything that's said without proof of it being true.

  i think that gullible is the english translation.. i was very gullible in my early jw years.

  i guess it's not faith that one needs to be a good jw, but gullibility...

  Did you know gullible is not in the dictionary?

  Actually, it is in Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, 1976 ed. pg. 511. I've been gulled too many times not to peek.

  depression and why JW's don't reconize it

  by nogs in

  well as you know unless you are an elders son or daughter generally jw's don't lift a finger to help all those ones feeling downtrodden and lonely.

  i felt like this from july 1994 to march 2000. i prayed to jehovah constantly for help to ease the loneliness, i begged the elders and even others.

  for a long time the only ones who would talk to me where the elderly ones(who i miss now since i left) i cried every night and felt after five years of being at meetings and feeling invisable (even though i was an auxillary pioneer) i decided that my life was worth fighting for.

  The bOrg is like a mother with Borderline Personality Disorder. A mother with that illness expects her 'children' to follow her example. Chaos and crazymaking behavior are all pert of the game.

  For what it's worth, your friends sound like they are mirroring their 'mother' very well. Study all you can about the personality disordered Society, and the traits of borderline personality. You do not have to remain their victim.

  oops, but there are technical difficulties!

  This board is not inciting religious hatred and discontent, but is engaged in a charitable and life-saving work. It's function is to warn the public about a publishing empire making millions of dollars by means of slave labor, and masquerading as a religion for the tax free status.

  Unless you are one who profit$ by such a manipulative and smarmy system, why be so upset about a little ol' website?

  Here is a website you may like better:http://http://www.reexamine.org/index.php/Main_Page

  It is a site that is composed of the publishing company's own words, and is a tribute to those who really see the big picture.

  Enjoy!

  gotta love it.....

  prince, the pint-sized pop star, is paying a whopping.

  $70,000 monthly to rent a hollywood hills mansion.. and he apparently thought that hefty sum allowed him.

  Here is a paragraph from the review of the cd in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: http://www.startribune.com/919/story/319121.html

  We knew what the song "1999" was all about. It's not clear what the significance of "3121" is. (I hear it's the address of his Los Angeles home.) The title song, which opens the disc, is a dense dance jam inviting you to a party: "U can come if U want to/But U can never leave." Sounds like shades of "Hotel California."

  I wonder if the Purple One has figgured it out, and is planning a fade?

  as some of you may know, i am a recently self-deconverted jw.

  This reminds me of when I was first poking around on the internet, having just got the guts to Google the Jaydubs. Apparently, we all felt this way, in the beginning:

  Oh yeah, I heard a cool song a few weeks back that sent me on a 'Road Trip to Hell'. My bags have been packed for that one!

  Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
  Then he is not omnipotent.
  Is he able, but not willing?
  Then he is malevolent.
  Is he both able and willing?
  Then whence cometh evil?
  Is he neither able nor willing?
  Then why call him God?

  finally have the time to type more than a sentance.... .

  my name is, mike warren... that's my real age in my profile...& yes that's my real pic.

  though i was never baptized, i was raised in the silly religion... my parents started their study in early 1974 (at least i got 1birthday &1 christmas, not that i remember...) mom was baptized in less than a year after she started her study... it took my father about 7-8 more years to give up smoking, but he still made all the meetings & ruled with a leather belt.. i also have a younger sister that has faded (she got baptized).
