  Breakthrough with JW mother - Stunning Anti Witness !

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought i would share this with you as i am still a little bit stunned to say the least.

  my mother who is a longstanding jw came to stay over the christmas period as my uncle had past away and she wanted to be more local to the family, that way she could attend the funeral and provide some support to her remaining brothers and sisters.

  she lives a considerable distance away from me at this moment in time.

  Baptisim/Disfellowshipping & Age

  by Krystal in

  2. beliefs

  i apologize if i am re-posting a topic that was already discussed, but i have a question:.

  i was baptised when i was 14 and disfellowshipped at 17... major life changing decisions all made before i was 18. .

  has anyone ever tried to have their baptisim/disfellowshipping annulled based on the fact that they were too young to enter into such a contract?

  (i daed myself by letter)

  What was "it" that opened your eyes?

  by jiggulz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  like so many people, i'm (very carefully)trying to convey the obvious "truth" about the wtb&ts to some of the members of my family.

  is there any key point that "stands out" in your memory as pivotal in the opening of your eyes?

  or any particular point that may have opened the eyes of your loved ones?

  What MUST Jw's believe that they don't KNOW they believe?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm looking for beliefs of jw's that have the consequence of also requiring some other belief that they may not like or be able to explain.. for instance, you probably believe that there are an infinite number of numbers, since you can always add 1 to any number and make a new one.. what you may not think about as a consequence of that belief is that you can also start with 2, add 2, and create an infinite series of even numbers.

  the set of even numbers is infinite, and the set of whole numbers (which would fully encompass the even numbers) is also infinite.

  so which set is bigger?

  Anyone take up smoking after leaving the borg?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i still consider it a bad habit with health concerns.

  but i am honestly attracted to the idea of a pipe and cherry tobacco.. i have joked of it some with wifey, but not too serious.

  maybe though just an occasional pipe or a cuban would be ok?.

  SERVICE REPORT 2005 : WATCHTOWER FEB 1ST 2006

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have had a quick look and found no references to this, so - here goes..as in the mag we picked up on sunday.. worldwide % increase over 2004 = 1.3%.

  memorial partakers 8524 (compared to 8570 in 2004).

  most european and nth american lands show pretty static figs - britain 1% increase, canada 0%, germany 0%, france 1%, usa 0%... but spare a thought for the inhabitants of zambia where 1 person in 90 is a reporting witness, must be hell going down to the local market!

  UK & IRELAND MAP

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

  (and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

  anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
