  State A Simple Opinion About JWD Members

  by nicolaou in

  we share a common past but have travelled many different roads to find each other here.

  our outlooks and perceptions of reality are varied and often fascinating.

  most of us are encouraging, funny, helpful and kind while others are still wrapped in bitterness and hatred or suffering from despair and privation.

  listening to the special talk this sunday really put things into perspective for me.

  see mans governments have failed because every five seconds a baby dies.. but jebuss government which was established in 1914, wait it was established in 1914?

  i mean cause thats a hundred years ago.

  Was I alone in my thinking about the year 1994?

  by JimmyPage in

  at one time the society taught that the generation of 1914 would see the end of this world.

  since the society always used the bible to explain itself i did the same.

  i thought, well the bible says our years are 70 or 80, if we have special mightiness.

  The Internet, JWs and Being Told Dont Use It.

  by uwishufish in

  as a public school teacher and standing in front of a class room i found it a way to advocate something questionable such as a borderline tv show or the radio show of risquay djs by telling the class this was not good and they should not listen to these.

  knowing all the while the next morning on the way to school they would be listening to bob and tom in the morning.. so do any of you believe that some of the jws take being told don't use the internet is their que to open their browser?.

  JW membership turnover - a real-life study

  by besty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  much has been commented here on how jw's rely on an ever-changing membership for keeping their 'the sky is falling, the world is ending' doctrine fresh.. recently it was posted that fully 2/3 of born-in jw's leave at some point, and i thought you might like to see how this works in practice.. so lets take sam and i and our extended families - we were both born and brought up jw's.

  start with me.

  mum and dad were converted in the 1950's.

  VERY BAD NEWS...my son is going to Bethel............

  by oompa in

  i can not describe the sadness of hearing him tell me, i asked him to think about what a great part time job he has, with free schooling.

  he says they will probably take him back.

  his abilities are suitable for closing down brooklyn, so at least he will be there (i love nyc).
