  JWN, 23 years posting Blondie

  by blondie in

  2. friends

  can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.

  i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.

  in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.

  Thanks, stan livedeath. There's many and finally found the one linked (Chicago concert) that miraculously disappeared. It's better than Costa Mesa (Pacific Beach, Cali) concert. I'll check your link out! Appreciate. Wow --is Steve Miller old and working on new album.

  How did JWs arrive at a clearer understanding of what the Bible teaches than other Christian denominations?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for jws who believe that jehovah had a hand in reviving the truth in the nineteenth century this is enough explanation for how jws managed to achieve a closer approximation to early christian beliefs and practices than other groups.

  but is there an explanation for this phenomenon that doesn’t rely on supernatural intervention?

  new testament scholar james dunn explains the difficulty of interpreting the biblical texts in this way:.

  Was the non-trinity belief handed down to JWs (Russell) via 2nd Day Adventism/England? I've no issue with it but curious. Seventh Day Adventists now promote the trinity but not always the case.

  Ten reasons Jehovah’s Witnesses have the true religion (plus a bonus one)

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thinking back when i was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why i believed jws are the true religion.

  1. they show love among themselves by not going to war.

  not killing your fellow believers in any circumstances, including war, would seem to be a very basic requirement for true christianity.

  2. beliefs

  but what they don't say he left started and ran a real estate company and a global real estate consulting firm and apparently after making a fortune come back to bethel a few years ago.

  how in the hell could a non lifer now be anointed and appointed to be a gb member.

  Perhaps GB hiring (haha/GB appointment) knowledgeable in-house real estate individuals as agents for representation re/WT corp's real estate matters great move. Maybe even save them a nickel here or there. Financial advisors, property management, legal firms/accountants/marketing, etc., etc., -- the bus operations in mgmnt. control all exorbitant figures but critical. Hard to imagine the other GB members capable of representing multi-billion dollar real estate co. to professional, knowledgeable, experts.

  What made you look behind the jw curtain?

  by Touchofgrey in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was listening to a lunchtime call in radio show about jws and the personal experiences of being disfellowshiped, and a former elder called in saying he was disfellowshiped for asking about jws and their involvement in the un in the 1990s ,and he just said look it up.. thinking that it was a made up lie ,so i looked it up and it was true even a letter confirming it from the un itself and that led me here and to jwfacts and further research into the history and teachings of jw and walked out the door about 5 years ago.

  Balaamsass2 - the overloaded donkey summed up my short stint in the cult and have related to it since first glance! Overstressed, underwhelmed spiritually and total time waste.

  Your powerful post could certainly warn/protect the innocent and needs to be blasted all over internet/door-to-door, carts, streets, whatever. If only! You and 3rdGen have some serious WT history to share for those capable of accepting truth/reality.

  It was obvious the generation prophesy would fail like all the others - I wasn't shocked one iota. Picked up at a couple of public talks the admonition (gag me) one must go on serving/giving their all financially, etc., to Jehovah regardless if the 'system' carries on ad infinitum - OMG shoot me now! Knew the same ole delusional hardliners would continue plodding along. Some middle age/younger ones faking along were covering their bases for friends/family -- what a price to pay.

  The perfect tool for Glock magazines

  by Wonderment in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  those of you who own glock pistols know that it takes a bit of know-how or work to open a glock magazine for cleaning, or for adding a magazine extension to increase round capacity.

  the reason why glock chose this method of retaining is to prevent accidental release of the magazine springs and cartridges in case they are dropped.

  the military and law enforcement agencies appreciate this system more than the average joe.

  Always interesting re/JWs resistance to Nazi regime -- are Jewish people today aware of this? I'd received such negative comments in the past from couple Jewish people re/JW religion and perplexed why they'd undermine/ignore JWs' historical position. Most likely they're unaware or because of other WT doctrine. Comments were from older ones not young and ignorant of history. I really don't think most people are knowledgeable of JW's persecution for their faith during this genocide.
