  nothing for years, and twice in two weeks i get jws at the door.

  i didn't feel like talking to them and said i had plenty of bibles and read them.

  i had a plan, but i was getting ready to leave the house and didn't want to get into it.

  all they did was invite us to a convention on the other side of town in mid-july.

  my husband tried to engage them and asked where he could send them some information.

  they showed him the address for the convention center across town-yeah, they are going to get it there.

  Millennial hopes?

  by JWdaughter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's been a long time since i was in, so please school me on this subject.

  if, in wt teaching, jesus took over his "kingdom" in 1914, doesn't that mean that in wt world view, that the millennium is more than 100 years gone already?

  if the last 102 years is a foretaste of his power, then eternity is looking more interesting than i anticipated..

  Using the depression card: Only when critical to family?

  by JWdaughter in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i just was reading a thread and it occurred to me that "using" depression as a way to deflect from wt obligations is a mistake.

  it feeds their sense of superiority-because when you do finally leave or get kicked out, they will say how leaving jehovah ruins lives.

  they won't do anything with you anymore in any case, but why feed their delusions?.

  ok, i like to bake, cook, read and write.

  my goal, short term is to work on a winning entry for the pillsbury bake off this year and other food contests.

  i plan to write, maybe blog about the process.. my small problem with pillsbury is that i am a home baker.

  Eight baptism questions?

  by JWdaughter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does an still active jws know if the baptism questions have changed to reflect their recent eagerness to baptize young children?

  or do they cajole the kids through the 80 or so questions, not expecting right answers?.

  i was never baptised, so i don't know the old drill or if there is a new one.. thanks.. my auto correct doesn't know there were 80 questions!.

  Camping and Watchtower

  by JWdaughter in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  campings org releases their financials.

  camping humbly apologized for making predictions and gave it up declaring that he was searching scriptures to be more faithful.. anyway, he had a lot in common with wt belief that all other churches are apostate.

  i think the ministry is really struggling.
