Were you pressured into marrying/having children young?

by breakingfree in

jw

this is probably something women in the organisation experience more than men.

even though we were instructed from the platform to use our youth to go pioneering, the older sisters in the congregation always seemed to be pushing younger women to marry and have children so they would be 'happy' like them .

when i got married (far too young, lucky it worked out) there was instant teasing, encouragement, etc to procreate.

Rooster

No, I married a "Worldly" girl I had met on the beach. We have been married for 20 years now. No children.

OF COURSE I WAS DISFELLOWSHIPPED!

Reinstated 4 months later..

Antichrist

by Aleman in

who is the antichrist?

the antichrist is a liar and a deceiver, bent on destroying a persons relationship with christ and with god.

john 2:22 - who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that jesus is the christ?

Questions from Readers

• Is Jesus the "mediator" only for anointed Christians?
Moses was the "mediator" of the Law covenant made between God and the nation of Israel. (Gal. 3:19, 20) Christ, though, is the "mediator of a new covenant" between Jehovah and spiritual Israel, the "Israel of God" that will serve as kings and priests in heaven with Jesus. (Heb. 8:6; 9:15; 12:24; Gal. 6:16) At a time when God was selecting those to be taken into that new covenant, the apostle Paul wrote that Christ was the "one mediator between God and men." (1 Tim. 2:5) Reasonably Paul was here using the word "mediator" in the same way he did the other five times, which occurred before the writing of 1 Timothy 2:5, referring to those then being taken into the new covenant for which Christ is "mediator." So in this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the "mediator" only for anointed Christians.

Thus all regular people can not approach God in prayer!
So why bother praying at the Kingdum Hall unless one of the "Anointed" are present to do all of the praying?

THE NAKED TRUTH. IS IT REALLY???

by whereami in

came accross this interesting info about the history of the bible.

it's a bit long,(12 parts) but definitely worth it.

if it is true it would explain alot of things.

More hocus pocus.

Gentile Times reconsidered

by confused and lost in

i am half way through this book by carl o. jonsson and the more i read the more certain i become that the 607bce date for the destruction of jerusalem by babylon is nothing more than a fabrication designed to uphold 1914 and hence the "authority" of the watchtower leadership.it makes me sick to think of how they have duped millions of people with their phoney chronology.it makes sitting through studies that mention these dates irritating to say the least.especially when all the heads nod in unison at the mention of the "magic 607"

Rooster

Hocus-pocus 607 BCE.

Something I never do...

by bite me in

start new posts!

lol jk.

i have never really looked on the jw's "official" website but i did today and i was looking around and noticed a lot of topics of today that are on debate are found on there (obviously) but why am i not surprised of how much effort goes into the topics?

Rooster

Yup, something I will never do either. I have no interest in reading the latest drivel coming out of the WTS. I dont' see the point.

The point is weight loss. If you read the drivel you will throw up..
