  So where is all this supposed worldwide persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by Reality79 in

  for years, it was drummed into our heads that the whole world lies in the hands of the wicked one who hates us and a result, mankind particularly hates the jws with a passion.. now that i think about it, i've seen very little evidence of that.

  i mean yes, in places like malawi, germany and some other countries the witnesses have been through real persecution - not the type that the average dub would call it like doors being slammed in the face.

  but what have they experienced that many other religions in other countries haven't?

  in other words, this supposed proof of God's favor (attack from Satan or what have you) applies to many many other religions.

  The 24 Elders in Revelation are NOT the anointed......

  by EndofMysteries in

  2. bible

  today i just thought of this.

  i had written a thread about the false teaching of the anointed being resurrected already.

  anyway, the wt assumes the 24 elders in revelation are the 144,000, and the assumption is merely because both sit on thrones.

  I feel not the urge, sorry.

  But if I recall, archive threads by AlanF, Dogpatch, HillaryStep, Farkel, Littletoe, and of course, LadyLee were all good in terms of content and/or interesting dialogue. FunkyDerek and Abaddon cut to the crux of any issue with surgical precision. Many others whose names I don't recall offhand.

  When Did You Stop Attending The Memorial At the Hall? Celebrate L.E.M. With Friends Online?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  i am still new to the business of fading and once i stop attending the memorial with all the dubs around me, my former friends will definitly put my shepherding call on hold.

  i am sure some of the friends faded quick and never turn their back toward the kingdom hall again.

  i am curious if others took a longer approach to fading and dropping off completly.

  The last time I was in a kh was for a memorial and that was 1992 or so. I had stopped attending regularly for a few years by that time and the memorial was the only time I did for a few, kinda like when people go to Christmas or Easter mass or something. But I stopped as I had to make the break from all that and was no longer interested in belief.

  A word of caution

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  please forgive me if you consider this to be presumptuous, i know i am an ultra-newbie here.

  but, i see a lot of threads on jwn that read something like, "what is your dog's name" or "where's your favorite vacation spot", "what's your special name for your spouse", etc.

  i give the opening posters of these threads the benefit of the doubt that they are creating them simply for entertainment purposes.

  But if there are others with malicious intent who lurk here, couldn't they start a database of all these "fun" posts, and perhaps by a sort of trianglation of crossfire, nail someone's identity? Unlikely, I'm sure, but still a possibility?

  Anything's possible but that would be far too much work and too orwellian, even for the average dub. And the higher up you go, the less concerned they are with individuals, in most organizations. So it's rather unlikely to be "outed" that way. More likely by befriending a poster under false pretenses.

  It's always good policy to limit personal info on the web in general and be vague in direct contact until time and trials say otherwise. If of course, you've something to lose.
