Ever realize you're forgetting and like it?
by Mysterious in
1. jw
2. friends
it just struck me today how much jw behavior i have forgotten as opposed to the parts that are irritatingly hard to stamp out.

i realized how often i toast, buy meat without checking the label, swear when i drop something, research anything i want on the internet, go to metal concerts, etc.

i think sometimes we don't think of how far we have come but only dwell on how far we have to go and we shouldn't.

What did you hear to get that fear? (No.1)
by A Paduan in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i thought i might start a series of presentations to assist critical thinking and the dispelling of fearful conceptions about biblical text.

i have no particular order of study, just random as i think of it.

important to this examination of fearful assumptions is the input of your views, and/or the official jw thought on the topic particulars - anyway, here goes

Working for the State or Government

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the above thread got me thinking.

one of the main reasons dub's don't get involved with the military is that they do not want to "support" the government to which it serves.

ok, how about working for the government?

JW dating sites and the number of divorced!
by toladest in
1. jw
2. friends
i was curious to see if i knew anyone that would post on a jw dating site so i checked out jw connections that is linked to on this page.

i did not find anyone i know but i was kinda shocked to see the number of ones there that were "divorced, but free to marry".

is this a big problem now or is it just that more divorced jw's use the web to find "mates".

Can someone help me to understand?
by hiccup in
1. jw
2. experiences
i am very new to this whole "religion" and although i have pulled up some information on jehovah's witnesses, i can't seem to get my arms around it.

the reason i have come here is because my father has been doing bible studies and readings for about 2 years now and over the last 6 months to a year he has been someone very different from who i used to know.

it all started with a near fatal car accident and then with my sister getting involved with drugs and running away with her boyfriend.
