It is a shame that people are here portraying themselves as Jehovah's Witness as having some knowlege or going to meetings. What exists here is a complete lack of faith in anything. And a great amount of stupidity. The statements of "I'm a former Witness and people don't talk to me". Well Duh!!!. Why would anyone want to. Can all people do here is complain? No one has any backbone anyway. Stop complaining and do something to increase your faith and appreciation for God's word and his people on earth. This group will not do that.

Misantropic, It is sad that there are so many faithless people here. But the meetings are for our good. Sure it is difficult, but what alternative is there? Another Duh.

Really serious question!
by 5thGeneration indrifting away is one thing.
i'm curious if anyone has written a letter (not a disassociation letter) that simply told their friends and loved ones that you don't really believe a lot of it anymore and blah, blah, blah.. or is it better to shut up and just never show up again.. problem is my wife says if i want to leave that i have to fess up and tell people.
ouch!.

What is there not to believe? And when you do not believe what is taught, what do you have that is better? Come on, the faithlessness here. It is disgusting.

Does anyone else feel like their damaged goods?
by MsMcDucket ini feel like this all the time.
i have a husband that loves me, but i still feel like if i ever were on the singles market that i would not be a "good catch".
my health problems and most of all being a former jehovah's witness makes me feel less than perfect.. i'm having a pity party.

Everyone who comes to these forums is damaged goods because you are seeking companionship outside of Jehovah's congregations. Simple as that. "and most of all being a former Jehovah's Witness makes me feel less than perfect." Well Duh!!!! You made that choice to go against Jehovah so you are very damaged. I can't believe the stupidity on here.

>Sweetest Day???? And, HOW did wedding anniversaries get to be OK and not birthdays??? ARGHHH! Sorry, I have >not looked at a school brochure in 20 yrs, slept or zoned during any child or parent oriented meeting and >have no idea on this. Thank you much!!! I hate it when this topic comes up because the motivation is always worldly. Wedding anniversaries are celebrated because they are an accomplishment. The anniversary of one's birth is not an accomplishment. There is simply no reason for a 5 year old to be celebrating the anniversary of his birth. No reason. It is not that there is anything wrong with birthdays, but Jehovah's people voluntarily give them up to help their brothers and sisters to stay separate from the world. The celebrating of them is purely a following of the world. When someone sees that it is ones birthday, a worldly person would say "Happy birthday". That is such an automatic expression that it is meaningless. Is the one saying that going to do anything to help that one have a happy day or is that just "calling on the gods" to help? Any special "happy" day is just plain stupid.

I heard on the news that the Vatican issued a statement calling for a
boycott of Davinci Code movie and book. They have done that with other
things. And protestant groups issue boycotts and protests.
The Watchtower does not do that. Jehovah's Witnesses know Bible
principles that lead us to not want to do those things so any
such boycotts are voluntary. -

When Did You Start To S L O W Down In The "Truth"???
by minimus inwhen you look back at it, what got you to slow down?
?

Why would anyone want to do that? When people do slow down they need to examine why and make corrections to speed up. It's that simple.

The cards are stacked in the WTS favor this summer
by Gregor inthe upcoming dc program, whatever it is, will have a very receptive audience.
if the wts was ever going to do anything audacious, now is the time.
they will be allowed to get away with anything they say.

I don't see what that has to do with the Watchtower or stacked in favor, that is just a fulfillment of Biblical prophesy.

Loss of Elders
by metatron inlarge numbers of jw congregations are going to be trouble long before they lose their last elder to death or resignation.. most congregations i know have at least one - and often several - elders who can barely function at all, due to illness, old age.
or just plain inability to accomplish anything.
the society seems loathe to remove these men, despite their 'elder in name only'.

Then stop being so negative and do what the Bible says and reach out and help the brothers and sisters.
