by aquamarine in

let me start off by saying that i'm glad to know this support group and website is available.

if you had to live life without one of your five senses, which one would you choose to give up.....sight, hearing, smell, touch, or taste?

and why?.

do you think your view of the world would be a different reality?.

Journey-On, If I have one day of hearing, I would be very interested to make direct phone calls or receive direct phone calls. I use the relay service but the operator is always involved.(not enough privacy)

The UN is on the verge of banning religion - JWs favorite rumor

by VM44 in

the un is on the verge of banning religion.. why is this rumor constantly being brought up by the jws?.

the un does not have the power to ban religion, such an act would go against its very charter and its declaration of human rights.. many of the member nations are islamic and would never vote to ban religion as it would undermine their own very existence.. so the idea that the un would or could ban or even consider banning religion is unrealistic.

never going to happen.. but the jws have been whispering that "the un is going to ban religion" for decades....why?

Awake, I do remember my Mom was telling me the same thing in mid 90's.

Do you consider your time as a JW wasted time??

by karter in

many of us have devoted a lot of time and energy to the jw's at the expense of other things like education , planing for retirement , family time just to name a few.. i don't consider it all wasted time there was a lot of good i learnt however i'm doing things now as a jw i never would have.. i don't have the same time pressure and never fell guilty about taking a lot of time out for myself as one elder said to me"if we don't keep you brothers real busy in the work of the kingdom you get swallowed up by the world" .

karter.

averyniceguy

yes, I consider it waste of time!
