by Severus in

consider me a player.

i am interested in supporting the "big news" news blitz by coordinating a clearing house of jw email addresses.

most of us have a handful of jw email contacts, others may have whole address books filled of them.

by peggy in
1. jw
2. friends
i am sure i am in the minority, and i am as anxious as the next one to know what the big news is.

JW Group Forums - what they say
by forsharry in
1. jw
2. friends
not sure why i've been going around to the jw forums like on myspace and such to see what they say...maybe i'm just stupid...who knows...but i was surprised at the vitriolic venom that many of the youth that still pay homage to da troof spew from their mouths.

i know i was raised jw but i would always pride myself on listening to what others said, even if i secretly didn't agree with it.

because it was a polite thing to do...and i had the truth!

brothers and sisters:.

i think that we all need to calm down here.

afterall, all of this speculation is 'running ahead of the organization'.

Defeating 'New Light' doctrine... How?
by AlmostAtheist in
1. jw
2. friends
it does little good to point a jw to changing doctrines, since they expect it.

they get all giddy when 'new light' shines on them and they get a clearer understanding of the bible.

even if it is actually a return to what was previously declared 'old light', they still suck it down and smile.. how do you defeat that?

Filling the Void
by demeter in
1. jw
2. friends
what do you think has been the most helpful thing you have read, heard, or learned lately?

what helps you get along in a post-jw life?.

i think the reason people go back to an organization that they once rejected is that they find a void and have no experience with filling it.. what do you do to make a new social life?.

THE NEWS IS BIGGER THAN DATELINE, BBC, CBC, ETC.
by AndersonsInfo in

if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?

have i ever misled you?

i'll answer that--no!

What are you REALLY like?
by jwfacts in
1. jw
2. experiences
it is strange chatting on the net, not knowing what everyone is really like.

do you pretend to be someone you are not?

i find it hard to know how to take people here sometimes, as words do not convey as much without seeing the facial expressions and hearing the tonal inflections.

Has God Just Set Us Up For Failure?
by confused_101 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the fact that in the very beginning god created man and then woman and placed them in the garden of eden, then he told them that they could partake of all the fruits from the trees but that they shouldnt touch his tree.

the tree of knowledgethat is like putting cookies in front of a kid and telling them that they cant eat them.

then he allowed satan to speak to eve (through the serpent) and convince her to eat and then she would know all that was good and bad.
