cults come and go so do you think the wtbts will eventually come to an end?
i think about this sometimes and i wonder if i will live to see it.
the reason why i want it to end is because i don't like the administration.
When Daniel 2:44 is fulfilled, there will only be the one way of worship
While I don't have much confidence in Daniel 2:44, or any other scripture, being fulfilled, if it does happen, the way of worship won't be the jw way. They will have gone the way of all other cults, and been destroyed.
im a elders daughter right so i was wondering if you the daughter like being an elders daughter?.
do you think it is a curse being a elders daughter?.
do you think being a elders daughter you get treated differentley?.
Hi Bianca, and welcome to the forum
I am of the same mind as several other posters - do not get baptised under any circumstances. If you decide to leave the org. then it will be a lot less painful if you are not baptised.
i've been inactive for 5 years now.i was taken off the ministry school, no hours in service, don't comment at the watchtower study and only attend 1 meeting per week.the elders try to see if i want to study with someone and i refuse.. have the elders marked me without telling me?
do they want to bother with members like me?
what is their next step?
They may see your non participation in meetings and refusal to study as a sign you don't really want to be a jw, and ask you a few questions about how you feel about the wts and it's teachings, or they might just leave you alone. It all depends on them, really.
i have, i got invited on saturday and i turned it down the same day lol.
No, and I don't expect to be.
If anyone brought an invitation here, I'd either tear it up or burn it in front of them
lets just say that the jw teaching regarding armageddon, living forever were true.. and lets say that many on this forum who still attend meetings somehow survive.. you don't agree with the teachings.
you may not even like many others who survive.
why would you want to live with the kind of people who continually judge others actions?
They aren't right anyway but if, hypothetically speaking they were, I'd rather be wrong.
I wouldn't want to live with one jw, never mind a planetfull of them
why is it that a priest, practicing their 'freedom of religion' can be jailed when someone dies during a botched exorcism, yet the watchtower society faces no jail time when someone dies from refusing a blood transfusion?
i realize this is in another country, but what happens in north america if someone dies during an exorcism?
is the priest put in prison?
Dozens of Corogeanu's supporters packed the courtroom and prayed for the priest, with several bursting into tears when the verdict was announced
They should be ashamed of themselves. He is guilty of at least manslaughter in my book. He should be jailed for life.
thanks so much for the really warm welcome.
just a small confession .. my last post was actually written a couple months ago before i'd gotten the nerve to post.
i copied and pasted it ... and forgot to update it.. my wedding came off in december 2006, and my mom did attend.
Hi FFM,
I am so happy for you, that you have found such a wonderful husband, I wish you both every happiness.
Your mum can't help what she is saying, of course, she has to try and pull you back to jah. Keep on resisting her, you most certainly don't want to subject your husband to even a tiny bit of that bs.

science is moving to regrow limbs and teeth.
little by little, making the watchtower irrelevant - i love it.. .
Thanks for that, metatron.
I wonder if either of these articles will ever be featured in the awake?
how do you think Catholics have preached the Good News thruout the Earth? PLEASE; I have NEVER heard this one- even in bathroom graphitti
They seem interested in preaching to me anyway
i've been asked to help develop a course for high school students to teach them about destructive cults and how to identify them.
not jw-bashing) to be useful for all students (and also not to frighten off jw kids and their parents), i would hope it might help jws (kids and parents) to start to think.
does anyone know of anything similar that we could buy in?
Hi IT Support,
My boyfriend has been busy writing some educational articles on cults for a work colleague, who's nephew is becoming involved in one. He has been doing his own research, and if you wish, he will send you what he has done so far.
PM me your email addy if you are interested.
