  Do Witnesses still go door-to-door??

  by MsShockJock in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering if they still go door-to-door?

  i never see groups of people walking around the neighborhoods all dressed up or out in fastfood restaurants on saturday mornings or groups of people driving around in cars.

  What scary stories were you told?

  by sundawn77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm new here; i "faded away" 3 years ago.

  i'll tell my story soon when it's not so hard to think about.. i'm just wondering what stories other people were told about demons that ensured that nobody watched scary movies or listened to certain music (in my case, stevie nicks, go figure).

  elders and my friends' parents, and other kids in the congregation all had stories of people watching movies and waking up to see a demon in their room!

  Are JWs chronic liars?

  by Kristofer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been about a year since i've been on this board.

  and what brought me here was me (a non-jw) seeing a jw girl.

  i've been out of this situation for a while now.

  This is so huge.

  by La Capra in

  when i was four, i believed that my life could be painfully and tortuously taken from me, in a ball of flame, crashing down from the heavens, just while i sitting down to a bowl of oatmeal in the morning.. when i was nine, i believed that my life, as i then knew it, would be drastically altered, that i would be tortured for being a jw, and after suffering for who knows how long, i would die (because i still hadn't lived up to jehovah's expectations).. when i was 13, i wanted to be a nuclear physicist-because it sounded cool, but in the meantime i believed that i would die in armageddon because i wanted to go to college, get really educated, and have a great, "worldly" life.. when i was 15, i felt guilty that i hoped armageddon would never come, because i so desperately wanted to go to college.. when i was 17, i was offered an honors early admissions in a prestigious program in a highly regarded engineering program.

  my mother flat out said, "no!".

  when i was 18, i scuttled semi-secretly to the local university, part-time, trying to hide my daily activities without actually lying to anyone.. when i was 19 i quit pretending and disassociated.

  Your View of "Worldly" People as a Jehovah's Witness ... Then and Now

  by The wanderer in

  <!-- .style1 {font-family: arial, sans-serif;font-size: 16px; } .style2 {font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; } --> #secondary { position: absolute; top: 311px; left: 563px; width: 132px; font-size: 100%; border: thin solid #000000; background-color: #ffffcc; height: 122px; padding: 5px; }

  } your view of "worldly" people as a jehovah's witness being in the organization was unique, in the sense, that we were told to.

  love our fellowman and we showed this "act of love" through our preaching.

  Bizarre November 2006 KM

  by yakata in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the insert is called "how do i view blood fractions and medical procedures involving my own blood?

  " i will attempt to transcribe the more salient points for everyone here.. paragraph 1 (verbatim): the bible commands christians to "abstain ... from blood.

  " (acts 15:20) thus, jehovah's witnesses do not accept transfusions of whole blood or the four primary components of blood-namely, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.

  Did The "Titles" In The Hall Bother You?

  by choosing life in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always hated the fact that the jws claim they don't take on titles for status and then do just that.

  pioneer,special pioneer, auxillary pioneer, elder, ms,co, do, po etc.

  did this bother you?

  What does God expect from us?

  by JH in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are all kinds of people on this planet, from all kinds of backgrounds, and everyone's different.

  some are rich, some are poor, some are healthy, some are very sick, some are intelligent, some are very dumb, some are oung some are very old.

  when you put all this together, isn't it unreasonable to expect everyone to become jw's, or everyone to become catholic, or everyone to become muslim?.
