  Criticisim

  by 5thGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  i have to say that generally the criticism on this board toward jws is over the top.. i personally have huge problems with the 'truth' right now in my life but i notice the ones who have literally nothing good to say about anything.. there are a lot of good witnesses and a lot of good doctrine and a lot of good motives among jws.. criticism fine, but jesus commended when due.. .

  Question

  by 5thGeneration in

  .

  why are the seventh day adventists growing faster than jw but we still boast 16 billion (something like that) hours in field ministry as being so important and proof that our work brings so many into the truth?.

  Worse than death?

  by 5thGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one society thing that drives me crazy is trying to scare us by quoting the scripture about one who knows the truth and leaves is worse off than others who have never known the truth.. question: if every non-jw is going to die at armageddon, how can someone who leaves be worse off?

  are they going to die more than the others?.

  Increase ranks 10 fold

  by 5thGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here's my take on how the society could increase it's ranks 10x.. start from scratch and go back to bible basics.. eliminate speculation.

  every last thing in life does not need a rule on it.

  recognize that there is a grey area.. cut meetings down to sunday public talk.

  Why JW are overweight and unhealthy

  by 5thGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we were told at our convention that "some" brothers and sisters exercise up to an hour or 2 a day.

  "some" even join gyms.

  then we were told that this would be "self-serving" and a real waste of valuable time better spent on theocratic things.. ouch!.

  First Post

  some things confuse me here.

  i am in the same position as many where i don't agree with so much the society says and feel stuck dragging myself to the meetings and then feel incredible guilt because the study for the day says it is wrong to have any doubts "even in private".

  impossible for me!.
