Birthdays?? Good explaination...please??
by inarock&ahardplace in
1. jw
2. friends
i would love it if someone out there could clarify for my stubborn brain just why birthdays are forbidden??

for the life of me, and i was a witness for over 30 years, i still can't wrap my brain around that issue.

i need something more than the two accounts 'gone wrong' and pagen, in the bible.

A question I've asked an elder as a kid, he never gave an answer
by zagor in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the question was, "so if things are going to be returned to as they were in eden does that mean that we all are going to be naked again and that we won't need any clothing.".

it is very uncomfortable thought for many dubs.

it is not only to do with "immorality" as such (though many naturalists would vouch that it being naked has nothing to do with it anyway).

Spiking at the DC...

i hit the pillow early last night, first week back at uni is really taking its toll after a month of sleep ins and so on lol!

i must have stirred around 11pm and started reflecting on a list of thoughts that i reserve for quiet moments.

after reading a number of threads on posters that attended the dc this year, it crossed my mind momentarily last weekend that perhaps i might do the same, even if only for a couple of hours on saturday??

who escapes more often, those born into it or adult converts?
by kid-A in
1. jw
2. friends
what strikes me on this board is the number of adult converts that have left the borg, either fading out or getting df'd.

from my experience (i was born into it, 2nd generation, left before getting baptized) most of the faders or escapees were also like.

me, born into it, never really accepted it and just bowed out at the first opportunity.

Great Experiences- I was serfing the net ad came across APOSTATES
by You People Are All Idiots in
1. jw
2. experiences
wow, yeah i was looking fr the theocratic ministry school oral review questions and i came across an apostate site!

the site was www.jehovahs-witness.com and was just fill of retarded apostates!

they were not only using a domain name and header name that denotes a conection with the actual watchtower society, but where using it to blasphem the jehovah's true organization in order to help people break away.

Need clarification on communication with a disfellowshipped person
by jostes in
1. social
2. family
was wondering the clarification of a relationship someone can have with their mother if they have been disfellowshipped and the daughter is in good standing with the congregation?

the daughter was baptised after the disfellowship.

does this mean the daughter is not to have a relationship with the mother.
