  Awake! response showing holidays are ok and conscience matter - Inside!!

  i forget where i got this, but this scan is from the july 2004 awake!

  magazine, and as you can see it responds to a reader asking about the obviously pagan pinata tradition.

  but that isn't the story or the shocker here, it is the society's response to the article.

  Since Moses shares same titles with Jehovah and Jesus does it make him God?

  i am saying this as a joke towards trinitarian reasoning but if a person acts on trinitarian assumption the bible could be used to prove moses is jehovah god of the old testaments.

  one of the things that i notice with trinitarians is that they are constantly using "circular" reasoning in their attempts to prove jesus is jehovah.

  they seem to rely heavily on if a certain title is used for jehovah and is again used for jesus then that is proof positive that jesus is jehovah.

  I plan on posing this question the next time my dub friends knock on my door.. What is the good news, the gospel you preach? As a witness, what are the responses I can expect? From your responses, I plan on doing some research so I can efficiently discuss this. I know there have been many threads here about how they preach a different gospel. HOWEVER, I know that many times what is Watchtower Doctrine and what they will say at my door are two different things... Thanks

  Functionality in the aftermath

  by Kristofer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've noticed several posts talking about depression, guilt, fear while being a witness.. my question is, because of the psychological trauma and years of indoctrination, do you still find it difficult to be fully functional and free even after you have decided to leave the wt?

  do some people find certain types of intimacy still difficult?

  celebrations?

  many "babyboomers" came into the watchtower society as the result of having studied the short publication the truth that leads to eternal life.

  now, by reading the following even shorter publication they can exit the watchtower (or other similar groups) even faster.

  real truth leads to eternal life

  wow..a month..that is VERY fast. Things are VERY new. if he is worth it, then he will see that you are worth waiting for. Imagine if you go through with this and then things don't work out. You'll turn your life upside down with no support and no one to turn to. I'm not saying stay in the org. I think your safest bet is to make a network of friends outside the organization first and start seeing each other openly but living separately where you are not tied to him financially or in another situation you may not be able to escape. Find a middle ground, it is usually your best option.
