  The "study" went GREAT, my mom NOW has questions!!!!

  by FreedomFrog in

  ok, as some of you know, i was suppose to have a "study" with my mom and an elders wife yesterday.

  well, the elders wife couldn't make it because "something came up".

  i guess it was more important than my salvation.. anyway, i still went to my parents house.

  This is the question I will ask any JW that crosses my path (Note: I've been living in the same house for eight years and no JW has showed up on my doorstep. And it's a middle-class, safe neighborhood. And there's a Kingdom Hall less than five miles away):

  My question: Is the WTS inspired/directed by God, the only channel by which God deals with mankind?

  If they answer YES, then my comeback is, "So why have there been so many failed predictions/flip-flops in teachings in the past? Certainly, divine inspiration would not have allowed this."

  If they answer NO, then my comeback is, "So why on earth would you follow and support an organization that has been wrong in each and every past prediction and continously flip-flops on various teachings?"

  I asked my JW brother (and I mean my actual blood brother) the above question a few years ago, and he quickly changed the subject.

  I have never been to a JW funeral. I was raised a JW, but was never baptized, and faded about 20 years ago. My mother is a JW and my older brother is a JW. If either of them go before I do, I will definitely insist on speaking at the funeral, as a rebuttal to whatever borg stuff is spewed. Not looking forward to that day.

  JWs and relationship immaturity?

  by jstalin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my jw friend seems to be unusually immature when it comes to relationships and women.

  i don't think he's ever had a serious relationship with a woman (he's 23).

  he uses the terms "womens" when he speaks about women, and he uses the word "boobies.

  Years ago it was not uncommon for a young sister to hook a young brother by giving him his first BJ. Don't know about these days.

  I think it was Mark Twain who said, "Every man [or woman] is a moon and has a dark side that he [she] shows to no one."

  In that sense, we are all Moonies, I guess.

  They think they have the truth because they are incapable of thinking.
