  Life in Bethel & Ex-Bethelites know if the GB prayed together?

  by Sheepish in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have always wondered how seriously they took this dispensing doctrine thing.

  do they all get together and actually pray or just have meetings?

  ex- bethelites say they wrote doctrinal articles for the watchtower or awake.

  What was the strangest or nicest experience you had at a door?

  by Sheepish in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember one lady who was so nice to us, she invited us into her foyer/porch area outside her front door where she had a huge owl that had come to hang out.

  it was amazing to be so close to it, and we forgot all about the magazine offer!

  How does one choose to die if they think the JWs are right?

  by Sheepish in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this may seem like a strange question, but i'd like to understand.

  my brother-in-law decided he can't be a witness anymore.

  no half way-he has left entirely.

  DFed, more positive or negative?

  by Sheepish in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just musing.... from the vantage point of being "out", it seems to me that being dfed would be really, really painful, but ultimately a good thing.

  (i was shunned by my family when i finally left though, so i know a little of what a dfed person goes through, although i didn't put myself through going back to meetings and being shunned) .

  i was publicly reproved, and was not allowed to answer in meetings, but i was not shunned.

  Anybody here who still has faith in God and belief in the Bible?

  by Sheepish in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  there seems to be a lot of folks here who are bitter and want nothing to do with organized religion (understandable!

  ) or the belief in a god who cares about us, and has a "plan".or even anyone who has actually read and studied the bible, and understands what's going on it it.

  so many just take stuff out of context looking for "mistakes" and loopholes.

  Great Quotes from Societies Literature

  by Sheepish in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i may be behind the times here with this, cause i'm so new, but i picked up an old copy of "let god be true"(1946) at a yard sale, and i've been kinda skimming through it.

  this statement jumped out at me.

  i got a good laugh considering how, they won't give let you share the other side of an issue with them, calling it "apostate" and all...( maybe you have other ones that you've found.).
