  beliefs I thought were unique to JWs because they had holy spirit

  by demeter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this forum rocks.

  i like it very much.. i want to talk about something that i have noticed since leaving the jws.. i thought the ideas about the millenium, armeggedon, invisibility of christ's presence, etc were inspired as truths given only to the anointed to pass on to the faithful witnesses.

  the parousia idea was an idea borrowed from a preacher named miller when one of his apocalyptic prophecies failed to come true.

  WHAT DUB THINGS WILL YOU NEVER FORGET?

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now as much as no one wants to admit it, we all know that there are things we learned in the borg that we'll never forget even if we live to be a hundred.

  what is something that you know you'll always remember (despite your best efforts to forget!

  for me, it's matthew 24:14 and the names of the three hebrews thrown into the firey furnace (shadrach, meeee-shack and a-bed-we-go)

  Fascinating chat with my neighbor

  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had a little chat with a neighbor tonight and somehow we started talking about fanatical religious people.

  she started telling me about a priest she used to know that was fleecing members of the church and got away with a hefty sum of money.

  well isn't this down my alley???.

  If raised JW - or in while young - how strict were your parents?

  by Jamelle in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm just curious to know where my parents register on the scale of strictness...

  growing up, i felt absolutely smothered by my parents (mostly my mother).

  the things i couldn't do were above and beyond the limitations put on the other young people in our hall.

  by dezpbem in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in another thread i started someone askedi still believe in jehovah, but now, i'm having doubts about his name???

  is jehovah really god's name?

  if he wanted his name to be known, he's all-powerful, omnipotent... i know that he has the power to make sure that his name is used correctly.
