just wondering, is the person who studied with you still an active dub?.

in a poll with a few of my friends, all who studied with either us or our parents are now not considered dubs.

Can the Jehovah's Witnesses society be sued

my sister who is the ex wife of the fellow i posted about,( re: commiting suicide) was a jw for 17 years being df'd 4 years ago.

i have told her about this site and read to her the replies to the posts i have made and she has had a browse around but will not join yet as she does not have access to the internet, although she really loves the site.

she and i were talking this morning and thru me she would like to ask; does anyone here think it would get her anywhere if she were to sue the watchtower society for years of guilt and mental stress she and her late ex husband have suffered?

A question about the 44,000?
by caz in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i studied with the jw's on and off for a couple of years and i could never get my head around the belief that 44,000 ( special ones) would be going to heaven and how they themselves worked out that they would be one of them?

i remember at easter one year i was invited to a 'special' meeting, i think they called it "the memorial" or something like that.

anyway, they passed around a goblet of what looked like wine and a plate of broken crackers and everyone just passed it around the whole room, from one person to the next.

Evolution or creation.....
by searching4? in
1. jw
2. experiences
i know what i was taught from the witnesses in the book evolution or creation,but is this an accurate portrayal of what evolutionists believe?

is it really that black or white?

evolution, meaning that god didn't have a plan, things just happened, or creation,god created adam, the first man?

my last 2 posts have been so sad that i thought i would tell you about something that i remembered once when the jw"s came a calling.

i guess it would have been funny if it wasn't so darn embarassing!

when i was younger i was trying to 'get fit' and had taken to doing aerobics in my loungeroom.

i have just witnessed for myself one of the most hypocritical scenes ever before in my life!

my sister's ex husband, ( father to 3 boys, 12, 15, 20 years) commited suicide a few days ago.

he has been a jehova's witness all of his life and and also suffered from bi polar disorder for most of it also, particularly bad in the past 3 years.
