Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions regarding "attention seekers"?

by BonaFide in

jw

we all love it when people pay attention to us or our opinions.

but what i am talking about is people who crave and force attention from others.

not just people who talk a lot, but those that force everyone around them to focus on them and them only.. in one of my classes there is a woman who raises her hand to ask a question, but never really has a question to ask.

I wouldn't be on here if the site didn't call itself Jw.net so many people find it by accident

If you were looking to buy confectionary over the internet, and came across a site called, 'RockHardCandy.com', then upon clicking on it discovered it was a porn site, would you be disgusted and leave? Or would you register, stay and argue with everyone on forum forgetting about your original confectionary order? There are PRO JW sites, which, of course, do not allow members to have differing views to the WT.

Have any of you had the experience of listening to a Witness' sad story, and not being able to tell them, ITS BECAUSE YOU ARE IN A CULT!?

tonight i went out with some witnesses for coffee.

one is an elder, and the others are pioneers, etc.

two of them had a sad story of how other elders had treated them lately, and one talked about how the elders in her hall won't give her any assignments.

by OUTLAW in

jwn is thought provoking!..

this board is a very interesting place to be.....if you are a jw.....were a jw.....are thinking of becoming a jw.....like jw`s.....hate jw`s.....or..like pretending to be a jw..lol!!.

"pretending to be a jw",will be the subject for this thread... we have aready met people on this board,who have no problem pretending to be jehovah`s witness`s and support the wbt$......but..have no interest in following the wbt$..or.. doing any of the hard work it takes to be a jehovah`s witness... i have met people like this,in real life... have you ever met people in "real life" that:.

when people would say, "i don't understand your beliefs on dfing," or, "i don't understand your beliefs on the end times calculations," (even after these were explained)....i used to think i'm just smarter than them.. now i realize they comprehended it just fine but were trying to say, "i don't agree with you," in a softer way.when people would say, "i'm too busy to talk to you right now," i thought that was an invitation to return.. now i realize they were trying to say, "please go away and don't come back," in a softer way.

Isaac - midwichcuckoo, that is what her words have conveyed, probably an inadvertant admission on her part

Isaac - maybe reniaa is saying she'd rather 'converse' with ex JWs, as she can learn more and we are more interesting than current JWs (who are, basically, brain dead).

What's the Watchtower's position on new members who are divorced?

by Whymse in

if a new member was married and divorced for reasons other then adultery, then they got remarried.

and later on during their second marriage they became a witness, how would the watchtower think.

about their marital status?

MidwichCuckoo

Welcome Whymse - whatever you do/did before becoming a JW is irrelevant. So a second marriage should not be questioned.

Is Jehovah a true god?

by asilentone in

MidwichCuckoo

I agree with Isaac. The WT has stolen from other religions/beliefs (...with a sprinkling of pyramidology and occult..?), and usurped the God of the Bible with 'Jehovah' - 'borrowed' from the Catholics - and made 'Him' their own.
