  confusion

  by inarock&ahardplace in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am going through a difficult time with my feelings on things.

  i have a really good friend that helps me with research she has done in regards to "is this the true religion", but has anyone else out there been so torn that even with evidence one way or another in front of you, you still feel empty when you think of not having the 'truth' in your life?

  i have 3 children and was raised in the 'truth' so was my husband.

  No part of this world?

  2. beliefs

  i understand that the wts has investments, stocks, real esate, mortgage company, car sales, finance company, publishing company, and i am sure they have other interest that i dont know about.

  how can they say they are no part of this world?

  they make a big deal that they dont vote in elections, but isnt having all these investments in business just as bad?

  The wtbts - an appropriate place ?

  by A Paduan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  considering the manner of the "company men" in the org., would things be worse without it - generally that is, not individually.

  without the fear and rules generated by literal understandings of the spiritual writings, would these same folk be simply out of control in the wider society ?

  fundamentalism may well control and restrain people who would otherwise be running amock.

  in the may 1, 1988 watchtower, on page 22, a witness, matsue ishii, recalls her first encounter with the bible students in 1928: at the back of our house in tojo-cho, osaka, there was a house with a sign: "osaka branch of the international bible students association.

  " assuming it to be a christian group, i visited the house.

  "do you believe in the second advent of the lord?

  hello jwd board community.

  just wondering.. has anyone ever heard of a person being disfellowshipped for the terrible sin of gluttony?

  isn't it ranked right up there with drunkeness, adultery, murder, etc.?.

  Allow myself to introduce....myself

  i must say, i never thought that i would see the day when i would find a site about disillusioned (mostly) jehovah's witnesses, but low and behold...one truly exists.

  first let me start off by saying thank you to the creators of this site, and i'll have you know that i've been lurking for several days now and i am just finding the time to finally log on.

  i've been a member of the borg for over 20 years now, been baptised for about 14 of those years and now i find myself in the most unusual of places.
