so let's say armageddon comes,do you believe that all jw's would be destroyed because jehovah knows it's a false religion...it can't be denied,for the most part,they try to live by the bible...if anybody has to be punished i would say it's the leaders...i know that god wouldn't judge a whole organization but persons individually....so what i'm trying to ask is....do you think you're in a better position right now not for freedom but for salvation than the witnesses??
if by the time you're finished reading this post armageddon is here...would u wish that you still were a witness or are you satisfied that you've made god proud?.
"--i know that my thinking needs adjusting in some areas." - now, you just stop using Witness catch-phrases!
MSG20, Forums like this can be very difficult to negotiate first off. Because we can't see facial expressions, tone of voice or all the other nuances, we tend to imagine those qualities when we read your words.
If we imagine someone we don't like, speaking your words, you will get a terse / bad/ angry response.
All the best, I think you're going to be O.K.
i'll occasionally "stalk" my former watchtower friends on facebook.
i find a lot leave their walls and photos public and it's kind of fun to see how they look and what's going on.. i found this post today: "imagine how whitney will sound when she's perfect.".
i literally wanted to gag.
How wonderful that Whitney Houston died in a personal tragedy because otherwise God would have killed her any day now at Armageddon! How "happifying" it is that this woman is dead so we can listen to her voice in Paradise and maybe she can even help us clean up the corpses after she is resurrected.
The post is overtly full of apostate invective that would shock dubs. Dubs are skilled at euphemism to put their true meaning in the shadows.
It would go like this; It is sad that Whitney died so soon but how happy we can be that her ressurection will be in to a paradise earth. We can enjoy her beautiful voice in the new system and she can work beside us in the clean-up after Armageddon.
That should sanitise things.
our daughter's school is having a blood drive today and me and mrs. babycheezits thought about signing up.
it's been on my bucket list i just haven't done it yet.. .
just curious if many members of jwn have donated?.
BTW, my wife donates regularly. I'm terrified of needles and happily accept that I may have to die horribly for being so cowardly.

The irony has been pointed out here before; Dubs will accept a whole raft of blood fractions if required medically. They will not, however, donate blood for that purpose. They rely on non - Witness donors to supply the blood from which these fractions are made.
have been doing some enlightening reading today about what the psychological community dubs as "foreclosed identities.
" this is where you never reach the identity creation phase due to another's (usually your parents) beliefs being forcefully imposed upon you.. this is a very interesting article from a psychologist's point of view.
his example is a highly religious person.
" This is where you never reach the identity creation phase due to another's (usually your parents) beliefs being forcefully imposed upon you."
One could say, broadly speaking, that this phase is never fully reached by anyone. We are all products of our upbringing and our world view will forever be coloured by our life experience.
And I couldn't say that having beliefs 'forcefully imposed' on you by your parents is necessarily bad. Many of these things will keep you healthy, happy and alive.
(...and now I'll read the article)
sad indeed!
i was searching online when i came across these headlines.
early reports say that as many as 27 jws died in a bus crash in ecuador while on their way to a meeting a couple of weeks ago.
Now, if the only survivors were 27 Jehovah's Witnesses, what would that prove.........?
do not count family members.
how long did it.
take to bring in each sheep, are they still in?.
one in seventeen years. I've yet to apologise to her.
hi everyone.. i just applied for the renewal of my british passport.
it really costs a fortune to have it done.. i had to have new photos taken too.
the pictures has to be to the according requirements.. now they ve send me an email, saying that my head was too close to the camera.
"... my head was too close to the camera" - Fix this by moving your head farther from the camera.
But, seriously, if the shots were taken professionally or at a chemist, you should have them redone to spec. for free.
c.t russell was, they admit 90% wrong.. ditto for rutherford.. ditto for a lot in the intervening years, wrong and wrong again, so the need for "new light".. what makes them think that the 2012 version is any more right than the previous tripe ?.
how can they know it won't all be dross tomorrow ?.
"good morning i have come to bring you the truth from god's word that may not be the truth at all when the next wt comes out" would be a more honest presentation..
"As soon as I heard it, I just knew it was the Truth". How many times have I heard someone say this !?
If gut feeling is all you need, why bother researching anything ?
If you're already emotionally invested in the religion, then to risk finding out anything you don't like must be terrifying.
just a few things i couldn't wrap my head around:.
why did lucy keep pulling the ball away from charlie brown?
was she jealous of his relationship with the little red-haired girl, and sought to embarrass him, because she secretly lusted after him?
What happened to;
Pigpen
Freida
Woodstock (the bird)
The Lady Behind the Counter ("Whaawhawhaawhwhaa") ?
