  Why are honest questions considered apostasy?

  by Rayvin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is why as i was growing up (raised in "the truth") i never asked questions.

  i never understood the birthday issue among other holidays.

  i never asked because i was scared i would be looked at as an apostate or as someone being worn down by the wicked association.

  JW kids who are currently in college LOVED the convention drama!

  by urbanized in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  here's a transcript of a post about the 2005 godly obedience convention (which i read about on this board and seemed to highlight a drama in which a biblical story was highly distorted in order to discourage higher education) from a jw youth group on www.myspace.com.

  Preparing for meetings

  by daystar in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i can recall from a very early age, that before just about every meeting, our family would be on edge while getting ready.

  often some of the very worst of our personalities would show themselves.

  we would argue and sometimes be downright verbally abusive with each other.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i want to discuss my experiences with the witnesses.

  how it began: i was recruited during the time i was escaping from a violent husband to a shelter.

  a witness came to my door as i was preparing to move during the day without him knowing (while he was at work).

  Aluminum Chlorhydrate – Cause of Breast Cancer?

  by zagor in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i wanted to post another topic but this morning my girlfriend got this email that frightened a hell out her.

  a friend of hers from europe says that she visited this breast cancer symposium; there she asked one of speakers why it is that most of cancers start underneath arms around armpit area.

  speaker later cautiously replied in private that it was because of aluminum chlorhydrate which is frequently found in anti-perspirants for women.
