  this week at the study of the revelation book there was a paragraph that said that god's kingdom would soon usher in a. paradise earth.

  i realized that this book was printed 19 years ago.

  my wife excitedly that i am taking her to europe soon would she be happy if i waited 3 years?

  i can not get a grip on the whole "no longer a JW" annoucements...

  by ?me? in

  1. jw

  the whole thing seems wrong.

  ok not withstanding a long heated disfellowshipping thread, how can they say you are no longer a jw?.

  jehovah always sees you as a witness of his, maybe a bad witness, or a sinful one, but one nonetheless.. was david not a servant of jehovahs when he made mistakes, or peter when he coward?

  Question for JW believers...or whoever wants to answer

  by kittyeatzjdubs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i often wondered this myself a lot growing up, and i must know.... if there was no paradise hope, no promise of living forever or having your dead loved ones resurrected....would you still serve your god and follow the organization?

  would you have ever began studying with the witnesses for that matter or stayed in the ''truth'' if you were raised in it?.

  because isn't that the golden ticket that jw's wave in front of their studies or interested ones?

  by ?me? in

  2. experiences

  just wondering out there, who is still active?

  makes most of the meetings, all the conventions, comments, is still active socially with the congregation,out in service, hall building etc.

  just wondering, because we know who are the elders, or recently former elders and i usually seek their posts for some interesting comments... .

  What would be a good business to replace the Kingdom Hall?

  by DevonMcBride in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know i'm jumping the gun here but...with the big news coming there may be some for sale signs in front of kingdom halls in the future.

  the kingdom hall near me is at a busy intersection and a prime location for another business.

  i think a yoga studio would be perfect there.

  Jan 1st WT: Reaching out, Higher Education and Providing for one's needs

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, as a nice start to the new year, the jan 1st watchtower article, "how firm is your trust in god" blasts those who live comfortable lives, those who don't reach out, and those who pursue higher education.. definitely, they are taking a harsher stand, having completely painted themselves into a corner.. i highlighted the interesting comments.

  i did not include all the text for each paragraph, just the main points.. .

  1 a young man wanted to be more useful to the congregation.

  What Would It Take

  by NestleBoy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few months back i remembered a newbie asked in this forum what would it take for a current witness to "go over the edge".

  in other words what would it take, personally as a witness, to stop going to meetings or to just quit being a jw?

  what would you have to learn or see?

  Did you record your hours in field service correctly?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always hated the shepherding call where they asked you to try and spend more time in field service, as they saw your hours turned in were low.

  at a young age, i learned how easy it was to just write down what ever felt right.

  i spent about 30 hours a month in field service as a pioneer for two years and never had anyone say anything to me.
