  I need some proof

  by Honesty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the bible says that there will be those who rise up among christians and turn apostate and try to turn others away from the truth.. childofgod.

  i need some proof that the watchtower society and the jehovah's witnesses are the truth.. the reason i need some proof is because my bible says that jesus is the truth.. nowhere does my bible say that any organization or religious denomination is the truth.. .

  a very important reason that i need some proof is because i have rejected the idea that the watchtower society and the jehovah's witnesses are the truth and if i am wrong i want to humbly admit it and return to the truth.. .

  judgemental

  by megaflower in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was wondering if many of you have felt the same way.

  when i was a practicing jw i found myself either being judged or i found myself being overly critical of others.

  it seemd the more miserable i became the more critical i was and i found this disturbing.

  Question about the memorial

  by Amyfa in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as i am not a jw and never going to be one or study with one, can someone tell me what scripture they use to make everyone reject jesus.

  it just feels to me like something satanic worshippers would do, not something christians would do.

  it just seems so wrong to me

  How do JW's explain John 6:53 ? Unless you eat of my flesh and drink of my blood you have no life.

  although this is my first post under the name journey edge, i have been a member of the board for a few years now.

  i just needed to change my identity to avoid being traced.

  i left the truth a number of years ago after 20 years in the faith.

  Dancing girl test which way is she spinning for you?

  by Hope4Others in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  it's the great right brain vs left brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

  if clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the... brain and vice versa.

  most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

  was anyone ever told they would have been stoned to death by an elder?

  by looloo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was when i had an affair , but this elders pioneer daughter told me she understood why i had done it , i was feeling dreadfull and so guilt ridden but he said i should through myself at my hubs feet and beg forgiveness from him and had i lived 2000 years ago i would have been stoned to death !

  the strange thing is a few years later this elder told me he had feelings for me , but he was married and old enough to be my dad , although i liked him as a person by then and had forgotten what he had said to me about being stoned to death, i was a bit annoyed that he told me not to tell anyone ,and yet was telling other people to tattle tale on others , i know he felt really bad about his feelings though and i did feel sorry for him , but asked him not to visit anymore as it made me feel guilty towards his wife , maybe it was gods way of getting him to see things from a wrong doers point of view ,as he had a reputation for being very harsh on wrong doers (like myself) maybe he makes a better elder nowadays after that insight , or maybe they think i was sent by satan to seduce a pioneer and an elder !

  Yes I was told this when I was df'd. And I am sure anyone of the four elders would have thrown the first stone.

  Did Your Mom and Dad Tell You " I Love You " Growing Up - and as an Adult?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  three simple but very powerful words .

  my son and i working together last night on my jobs talked about this very subject.

  i told him that although my witness mom was always affectionate , and tells me and my siblings she loves us , my elder father has only told me that he loves me once or twice , if that - my entire life.
