  Question for JW believers...or whoever wants to answer

  by kittyeatzjdubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i often wondered this myself a lot growing up, and i must know.... if there was no paradise hope, no promise of living forever or having your dead loved ones resurrected....would you still serve your god and follow the organization?

  would you have ever began studying with the witnesses for that matter or stayed in the ''truth'' if you were raised in it?.

  because isn't that the golden ticket that jw's wave in front of their studies or interested ones?

  If all the JWs were told tomorrow that god had changed his mind, or the WTS had got it wrong..."No reward...sorry", then everybody would be boozin' and throwing their knickers off...if ya get my drift

  That reminds me of this one time when my mother and I were studying the watchtower for sunday or something. I think the article had to do w/ Jehoober's universal sovreignty (sp?) or something...anyway......my mother turned to me point blank and asked me, ''JoBeth, if you were to find out today that there was no paradise, and that we were to serve jehovah just b/c it's the right thing to do, would you still do it?'' Of course I had to bite my tongue to keep from blurting out Hell No!....but before I could answer, she said, ''...because I know I would. This is the only true organization. We're the only people who truly love each other and who have Jehovah's blessing.''

  It was like talking to a zombie.

  ''WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO LIVE FOREVER ON A PARADISE EARTH? MILLIONS NOW LIVING WILL NEVER DIE!!! SEE YOUR LOVED ONES RAISED FROM THE DEAD!!!''

  Because without that hope, what really is the point of being a jw? Without the hope of a perfect life in a paradise, what's the point of spending your entire life being ridiculed for your beliefs, putting in 1000's of hours walking from door to door selling magazines, wasting 12 hours a week on ''spiritual matters''?

  And please don't give the b.s. line of, ''Well at least I wouldn't contract STD's, unwanted pregnancy, drug problems, blahblahblah''....b/c I know plenty of people who aren't jw's...and they have never had those problems....and I've known plenty of jw's who got pregnant out of wedlock, contracted STD's, and used drugs.

  Thank you for your input.

  In respect to headcovering, can you get away with a sheet of toilet paper??

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  whose idea was it anywhere and is there any mention of it in any awake or bodgetower?.

  the idea, that women when taking the lead in anyway or praying should have something on their head as a sign of respect suddenly struck me as a sign of total disrespect!.

  i understand a woman may put anything on her head as a sign of respect to her superior male colleagues, including a used kleenex....i've seen it so don't doubt it!!.

  I remember being at a meeting for field service once, and there were no brothers. And noone had a handkerchief or anything....so they used a magazine. I remember the sister had to hold the magazine on her head with one hand the whole time so it wouldn't fall off.

  Aussies/Canadians of JWD most laid back~

  by FlyingHighNow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking today, i've been here at jwd for nearly three years now.

  i've observed that our aussie members are the most laid back members on the board here.they don't take their country, their politics or anything too seriously really.

  people who are from europe tend to be more laid back than the brits and americans.

So it's possible that I might be posting again tomorrow....but then again, it could also be a few months...

  Ugh....all those smiling faces and ''brotherly love'' upset my stomach....

  I never understood why in the pictures from the Yearbook and magazines everyone has this shiteating grin on their face. The people at every convention I ever went to just looked like they wanted to go home.

  by RichieRich in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  oh, so in the midst of everything else, college is goin well.. about 30 % of my high school graduating class came here, so its really just like high school part2.

  i have 2 morning classes, and 2 night classes, so that way the majority of my schooling gets done on 2 days of the week instead of 4. last night was my first night in my english 111 class.

  i already knew thaqt there was one witness in there, but its someone who i've kept up with, and someone who is cool with me, as i am.

  Make a shirt with the following slogan and wear it to class the next time you have group or whatever.

  ''I spent ____ years with the (dubs/Society/Org/whatever you want), and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.''

  Then just sit there and smile at her till her head explodes.

  The WHOLE entire KH lined up from the stage, forming this nice little line leading to me! All introducing themselves and welcoming me! I never have seen that done.

  That happened to me. I had been living with my dad when I got dsf'd the first time. Then my mom snatched me up and brought me to Memphis with her to a new congo. I tried to be low key about the whole thing when they announced my reinstatement b/c I wanted to spend time with my family....instead I got a bunch of old nosey hags, elders, and snotty little elder kids love bombing my ass after the meeting.

  I was so glad when we left.

  JW at the door...thanks for the tips...

  by mama1119 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this morning we had a fleet of jw in the neighborhood and they came a knockin...my husband answered the door, (as they would have recognized me..he is "wordly").

  we used some of the tips off of the "how to get rid of a jw thread" he kept asking them if they were with the jehovahs and if they were a jehovah, they kept correcting him bless their souls and he kept doing it.

  then, when they tried to place the mags he said, "first can i get your address?

  I've already got my plan for when they come to my door.

  '' Oh! You are the people that shun members when they do something against the rules right? Yeah, my best friend was a dub and when her mother found out that she was dating someone outside your religion, she kicked her out in the middle of the night with no where to go. Luckily, her UNBELIEVING boyfriend and family welcomed her with open arms. Her family still doesn't talk to her and it's been almost 2 years. I don't think I'd like to be involved in a religion that treats people like that. K, bye!''
