Hi everybody, I´m a new member from Spain
by benito in
1. jw
2. friends
first of all, i want to apologize for all the mistakes i will probably make, i m not very good at english, it s very hard for me to think in another language different than my native tongue (spanish, of course!!)..

i ve been lurking through this forum for a long time but i didn t dare write here because of my lack of knowledge of the language but i changed my mind.

i think i can give a different point of view from other members of usa of uk, it seems that most of the members are from theses countries.

One upsmanship...
by hartstrings in
1. jw
2. experiences
when i was a regular attender, most of my jw "friends" were pioneers because that is who we spent our days with, lol.

well, it always annoyed the crap out of me when the pioneers would act like they were so special when they were able to get a new publication prior to its arrival at the local kh.

they were basically bragging about their connections.

xJWs--Do You Read The Bible Anymore?
by love2Bworldly in
1. social
2. humour
i was wondering how some of you (ones who have been out of the org for a while) feel when you read the bible, or have you tried reading just the bible--not using the new world translation.. i still do believe in a higher being and enjoy reading the bible.

but it's a very different prospective i have on it now, my eyes have been opened and i'm reading it by itself without any wbts literature to twist the meaning of it.

i would like to quote matthew 6:15 "but if you do not forgive men their sins, your father will not forgive your sins.
