  Beliefs, Honesty

  by Hiddenwindow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not too long ago, i heard a district overseer say, at a circuit assembly, something astonishing; that he would continue to be a jehovahs witness even if it was proven to him that god does not exist.

  his point was the organization and its moral standards protect people from a lot of trouble and that this by itself is very positive aspect.

  i could not forget such a statement and, just as an exercise, started to pose the following scenario to some of my friends, including several ministerial servants an one elder: if you some how determine that this is not the truth, would you continue to be a witness?

  Hidden,

  This is why I consider myself "organizationally weak," not spiritually weak.

  i've been on the board for quite a while now and was wondering, what do my fellow jwdr's do for work, employment or career?

  me, i'm in probably one of the most hated careers in america right now.

  (not gonna tell you what it is either) but how about you, what do you do to earn a little coin?.

  Watson, what the address?

  Sorry, can't say. If I did, my local elders that lurk, would know me for sure, and might think I'm an apostate.

  What is Your Scariest Experience in Life?

  by R.F. in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'd have to say mine was when i was at the wee age of 8.. my siblings and i were out swimming with some friends and their parents.

  what i remember mostly was that i got seperated very quickly from the rest of the group and drifted into the deeper end.

  i found it getting more and more difficult to swim with each passing second.

  I was held up at gun point too. Man, the end of that barrel looked real big!! My life literally flashed before my eyes. In about 30 seconds, I thought about all my family members, how my getting shot to death would effect them, etc. Very emotional thing.

  CO tells us the reason for the Tract Work

  by stillajwexelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok so this was told to the entire congregation by the circuit overseer.

  "the society knows the tract work brings hardly any new disciples in.

  we get a few good experiences out of it and a few start studies and attend a few meetings.

  I'd still say to expect to see many more tracts being offered in the coming years

  Yes, and our CO confirmed this tonight. He said we will be "seeing alot more of it in the years to come!"

  I'm shooting for the most petty JW-caused problem/complaint

  ok, here's the deal.

  several years ago my brother-in-law (who is also a reformed jw fader) helped us move back to oklahoma.

  while we were taking apart furniture prior to the move we were using my drill and 75 foot extension cord.
