  Hey! Wait a Second!!!

  something just hit me.. you know how witnesses love to remind you that the early christian congregations had problems, sometimes even big problems, whenever modern day problems and inconsistancies are brought to their attention?.

  as much as my gut and heart hate the glibness and triteness of that, it is difficult to argue against.

  but i just thought of a key difference.

  Care to hazard a guess?

  man am i on a roll after talking to my cousin and reading stupid stuff by xandit..... why is the whole jw website ( http://www.watchtower.org ) sitting on a standard non-secure server, but if you want to ask them a question via e-mail, you are rolled to a secure site?.

  https://watch001.securesites.com/contact/submit.htm.

  i guess it doesn't matter anyway, because you have to give them all of your personal info, and then they won't answer you via email (even though it's on a secure server) but they will send someone to your door.. now why do they need to roll you to a secure server if you're not transmitting confidential info for them to act on?

  My life as a JW

  2. friends

  hello all, i don't know if this is the right place to post this, but i need to get it out.. i'm new to the board (registered today), and here's my story:.

  born into the "truth" so to speak, my parents just started studying after i was born.

  after the 1975 prophesy failed my father slowly distanced himself from the org.

  confused

  i left the jw's 11 years ago and even though i never looked back i'm constantly concerned about the things i do.

  for example, my wife's family is fairly devout in their faith (catholic) and therefore i occasionally have to attend their church, and i am always riddled with guilt upon entering and participating in the services.

  also, every time some calamity occurs around the world i am always wondering if "this is the beginning of the end"?

  page 29 of the wt publication, "true peace and security, how can you find it?

  " (circa 1986- orange book- just to bring back a rich visual memory for you oldtimers).

  sex before marriage, with one or more partners...will henceforth be considered morally acceptable.. .

  i was in england on business last week and took the opportunity to visit my jw parents for an afternoon before returning to the london area for a flight today (saturday).

  i had a pleasant time with them but i carefully avoided certain topics.

  i almost couldn't resist saying something at some points but i let it pass.

  NEW RELIGION! NEED INPUT!

  by TR in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is sort of a take-off of the "what should the wt do" thread.. i need to get together a board of directors and elect a president and officers.

  we need to figure out a doctrine, a manifesto, and a set of disciplinary rules.

  we need to figure out a way to fund our new movement.
