  an ex-jehovahs witnesses planted a seed of doubt by stating that she felt to be a good .

  witness an individual had to be a conformist.

  What is most important ? to approach a JW with? Any current changes in WT?

  by whyizit in

  i have recently been having a dialogue with my jw friend on the "blood" doctrine.

  i've heard about others who have used the wt involvement with the un (which i am not very familiar with).

  others say to use the failed prophecies.

  here's what a jw said over on the moronic discussion board at www.jehovahsjudgment.co.uk (under a thread entitled 'speculation') .

  "not me...i like to live on the edge.

  the more the merrier.

  I think I've finally had it! (long)

  by lynnmelo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some of you may know that i had regularly been studying with the jw's for about two years, but i was never baptized.

  i stumbled on some information about the child molestation scandal a few months ago, and that started me on the road to questioning the organization (for further details on my situation, see my topic history).. anyway, up until now, i had decided to just fade into the background, still attending sunday kh meetings because i want to attend some church, and i just don't know where else to go (don't agree w/ the teachings of the other churches in my vicinity either).

  my last "study" w/ my bible study conductor (a month or so ago) was terrible.

  i was in the grocery store and met a cousin i haven't seen in years.

  the first thing he asked me was, do you go to the meeting now?

  he mentioned how armageddon was so close.

  Senseless death is getting to me

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm finding that i'm less and less able to handle hearing about or even thinking about senseless death.

  i read about some of the people tortured and killed as heretics during the inquisition and i was nearly in tears.

  then i just read a news report about a pakistani man that killed his own daughters while his wife watched, in order to preserve his family's "honor".. theists can at least imagine these people in heaven, or sleeping awaiting a resurrection.

  WTBS--What's the motive?

  by lynnmelo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my sister and i have speculated for quite some time about the possible motives of the gb and all others in charge of the wtbs, i.e., their raison d'etre, so to speak.

  after finding out about some of the history of the wtbs and the supposed f&ds, i realized that they weren't god's spokepeople on earth.

  but, then, what's their motive for all the work they're doing in the organization?

  Help --Pre-JW Faithful and Discreet Slave??

  by lynnmelo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi, folks.

  for those who may not remember my previous posts, i'm someone who has been studying with the jw's for about two years but didn't commit (i.e., get baptized) because, as i thought then, i was just too selfish and cowardly to join up with the jw's.

  that's before i found this site and watched the dateline video on the child molestation problem.
