too, even if a disagreement arises it is handled in a loving manner with each individual showing respect for his brothers and sisters.. truly the on line community of jehovahs-witness.com shines as a light to the world as a beacon of hope, that, if our example was followed, peace, love and happiness would reign over a wonderful renewed planet, inhabited by people who have found a real peace of mind and ability to share their space with all.. truly, all jehovah's witnesses should want to join us in our wonderful land of freedom, where nothing can ever go rong.

Ok, once again.

Naeblis is no longer for sale.

I bought him long before this post was made. (see the beginning of the thread)

Enough already.

But if you want to come for a visit - I could share him. He won't mind.

Counting Time... Is It Part Of The Rot?

by ballistic in

jw
friends

how many here have pioneered?.

be honest, what was predominantly on your mind, telling people this wonderfull good news or was it counting time?.

an elder once said to me, "you know, it's strange how when pioneers quit pioneering, they're hours don't stay the same, they don't gradually diminish and they don't even drop by half... they drop practically to nothing.".

closer2fine

The hall I was had a tradition of sorts. As a young single sister fresh out of high school - you had two choices. You either pioneered or married. I had no plans to settle down with any of the pathetic, spineless, weak-minded yahoos in my area, so I pioneered until I was old enough to move out on my own.

Funny thing was that I didn't care what the elders thought (my PO father included) so while I pioneered to support myself (I had to pay rent after high school) I bartended full-time at night. It provided me the freedom I desired from the dubs.

So to answer your question, yes I just counted the hours, all 90 per month.

For those of you who attend a church

by closer2fine in

i was raised a jw & left when i was 19. my husband went to a few different churches growing up (catholic, methodist etc) but he doesn't really consider himself a member of any particular denomination.

he considers himself a christian, although he isn't sure what he believes or if he believes in the bible as god's word.. i have run from any type of organized group that is controlling.

i don't know if i believe in god, or the bible as anything more than a series of stories with life lessons in them.

I have run from any type of organized group that is controlling. I'm not sure what I believe either. I don't know if I believe in God, or the Bible as anything more than a series of stories with life lessons in them.

We have a child & would like to introduce her to some sort of higher power. My questions are these:

1.) What church do you attend?

2.) How did you decide?

3.) What is required of you as a member?

4.) Do you believe in all of the teachings? Do you have to?

Thanks so much for your anticipated responses.

Oh - I wanted to add that part of the reason we are also looking for a group is for social reasons too. We move frequently & it would be nice to have a way to meet people.
