  Bizarre JW stories of enduring hardship

  by Vormek2.8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember hearing of a faithful older brother who was attacked by vicious dogs while in service.

  even though his clothes were shredded and he was bleeding he continued walking door to door to finish his assigned territory for that day.

  If You Were Satan, How Would You Destroy the Watchtower?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovah's witnesses have survived hitler, stalin, and third world dictators too numerous to count.

  126 years of false expectations.

  have failed to dissuade them.

  Do you feel 'Disconnected' since leaving the borg?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean - many of us had a history that was exclusively in the 'truth'.

  nothing else.. now having left, do you long for a discussion with some who share your past culture, understandings, and lifestyle?.

  is that the 'appeal' of this board to many?

  I feel disconnected from many family members who are still in the lie. But for the rest I say

  "GOOD RIDANCE" Did I spell that right.

  You cannot live forever in paradise on earth

  by Gopher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower society has, for about seven decades, been attracting new volunteer workers for its field ministry with the promise of life forever on a paradise earth.

  even the titles of its main study books since 1968 bear the promise: the truth that leads to eternal life, you can live forever in paradise on earth, and knowledge that leads to everlasting life.

  how logical is this hope that leads people to entrust the watchtower with their time, energy and worldly possessions?

  Something I wonder.......

  by DaveNwisconsin in

  a month ago my mother died.

  she had been a witness for 40 years.

  when she was sick she got me wondering if all the witnesses think that this system will come to an end in there lifetime and they won't have to go thru death?

  My grandfather went to his grave thinking he would see the "end" in the seventies.

  My parents also expected the end to come before they died (father 1988, mother 2000)

  father 78 and mother 86 grandfather 93. I left the borg in 1980 and some of my children

  shun me. As I have grand children and four great grandchildren, I see the trend changing

  as most of the grand children are not buying into the lies of the W.T. This makes me

  happy.

  Here's a question.....

  by Low-Key Lysmith in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ......for those of you who have family that still speaks to you on occasion, does it seem that they are always trying to update you on goings-on in the congregation?

  my grandma, every time she calls (which isn't often), likes to say "brother or sister so-and-so were asking about you the other day".

  or "brother so-and-so got disfellowshipped".

  I havemore friends now than ever as a dub.

  For anyone without I suggest joining various groups (religeous, volunteer, sports or whatever)

  You will find a lot of nice friends out there. I know. These are friends I can trust unlike the j.dubs.
