if you could go any place in the world and not worry about money, food, clothing, etc... where would you go?

What do you think the Watchtower is most afraid of?

by JH in

jw
friends

lawsuits?

internet?

higher education?.

I think the watchtower is really not afraid of anything but their version of god. They are so confident and self assured in themselves do they really fear anything - they can do no wrong - they are put there by god himself. Sigh - Jonathan

Do You Ever Have Dreams About Being A JW?

by minimus in

i had one disconcerting dream last night.

i was in a very large assembly hall and explosions started occuring and rather than wanting to leave everyone stayed and chatted like whatever was happening out there was not going to affect them inside.

they were all very smug.

I have a recurring dream that I walk into the kingdom hall wearing my suit and tie and my bookbag. I enter the doors and instead of a meeting going on everbody in the congregation is engaged in a wild orgy. And the circuit overssear is on the stage selling bags of weed. I think to myself man jehovah's witnesses sure have changed in that last couple years. Jonathan

Did you give lots of money to the Watchtower?

by JH in

jw
friends

i didn't put much money in the contribution box.

just buying a bigger car was my way of contributing financially.

i also was generous with the ones in need.. as far as the watchtower's contribution boxes were concerned, they didn't recieve much from me.

No

Mankind's sufferings who's to blame?

by greendawn in

jw
friends

there is and always was a lot of suffering in the world since the beginning of history, so who is to blame?

is it a god that doesn't care or a mankind that refuses to be reconciled with god and through that find salvation?

rimbaudbunuel

I have been the cause of all of mankind's suffering throughout history.

What do you believe in now?

i just stumbled on this site today, and am i ever glad i did!!!

i was raised as a witness, my mom being a witness and my dad a non believer.

growing up i never wanted to follow all the rules, and often broke them behind my mothers back.

I agree with Tetra - I like John Lennon's Quote from his song God - "I just believe in Me". I can defintley understand where you are coming from though. I am also 21 and have been df'd for about the same amount of time and lost my family and friends, exc. For me I have been basically afraid to believe in anything again, I am so shell shocked from the experience to again have a form of spirtuality seems way down the line. But there is a hole that is left from no longer believing in jehovah witness's that I still wish to fill somehow. Like was already mentioned I have seen tons of different beliefs here which I think is nice. Welcome, Jonathan

What are your most hated JW words and phrases?

by Low-Key Lysmith in

mine are, in no particular order:.

"the friends".

"glean".

It was mentioned before but - "encouraging" is the one I hate. I have heard "that was so encourging" about 1 million times in my life. I can't remember after a meeting my mom every not saying something was encouraging, or somebody after I gave a talk or something tell me how encouraging it was. Oh God, that word fills my nightmares. hahahaha - Jonathan

time to start living again.

i have come to realize that for the last two years i have put my life on hold, i have not been living i have just been floating just existing but not living, not really living.

it is time for me to change this.

Awesome Lola!!! I'm really happy for you. And I thank you for these words, truly. I am in such a similar situation and they are really inspiring for me and help me a lot. It's so easy to let what happened with jw's tear you down and keep you in this place of just trying to undue damage done and the pain. But being able to get to that point where you let it go and move on with your life I think is really where we all want to get to. I see only positives here. I am very happy for meeting you and all the talks we have had. You have helped me tremendously. Rock On Lola! - Your Friend Jonathan
