  If they had the "truth", wouldn't they stop printing new literature?

  by JH in

  .

  the fact that they are coming out with new magazines and new books all the time, can only mean that they haven't found the truth yet.. if they had the truth, they'd be satisfied with their old publications.

  If it was the real truth in 1928 it would still be the truth today"

  Amen to that!

  What Things Irritated You While A Witness?

  by minimus in

  i used to hate it when i'd listen to brother blow give his long winded comment about how we're all supposed to do this or that----and he was barely considered a witness......we had a few elders, and especially the po who would go overtime just because they could.

  the po's bookstudy always went overtime.

  45 minutes into the meeting he was still on paragraph 3. and he would read every scripture including the ones quoted!!!

  I can concur with all of these comments, literally. The one I hated the most was listened to a talk about how a husband was supposed to treat his wife, and provide for his family. He did aboslutely nothing that was taught in the hall. Would irritate the hell out of me to listend with him sitting next to me.

  We will never see holidays through a child's eyes

  by MissBehave in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is one of the things that saddens me greatly.

  those of us who were raised as witnesses missed out on all the magic associated with being a child experiencing a holiday.

  we will never know the great anticipation of santa claus, the wonder of having the tooth fairy visit us in the night, the excitement of hunting for easter eggs, dressing up to trick or treat, etc.

  That is sad...... I did not grow up a JW. The best times of my life are remembering the hollidays as a child. Haloween, Christmas. My dad would play a game every christmas. He would put a note in a present. It would say something like, "i'm cold, please look for me in the kitchen" you would go to the fridge, find another note leading you to another and so on, until you found the present. It was alot of fun as a kid. We could never go to sleep at night, and was up at 3 every year from excitement.

  Needless to say, in the past few months, I've done them all for the first time in 10 years and loved every minute!

  Do JW's elders really want to know what kind of "sexual activities" you did

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know many ex-jw elders out there have the first hand knowlege of this but i was wondering do the elders really want to know everything you did when you were engage in sexual activity that got you in front of a judicial committee when you were a jw or now.

  i have heard horror stories of the elders wanting to know did the person have an "orgasim" did they perform "oral sex" did they perform "anal sex" etc; i can't believe that a person could be so "nosy" as to want to know what a person did in the bedroom.

  i know a girl who is now df that i work with and she said that one of the elders asked her what size penis did her boyfriend have and did she prefer "small" or large penises.

  Back to the original question, I have a question for it. You know how they cover up child molestation? What if, a spouse did something that was on the lines of rape. You think they would just cover that up to? Probably

  Anyone feeling the Memorial pressure?

  by atypical in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those who are fading, do you feel the pressure building as the memorial approaches?

  family members who otherwise are busy with their own interests suddenly start paying more attention, dropping hints and holding their breath as it were.

  then there are the invitations.

  I'm just disapointed that I won't get that free bottle of wine that i've been getting after every memorial for the past 8 years, LOL

  Not many from 33-1919

  2. beliefs

  read a post yesterday where someone had the number of partakers in 1935 the cut off year,the number of partakers(annointed) was 52465 this dosnt leave many places for the people before the org was chosen in 1919.so the total number of places in heaven before 1935 was 91535.it seems that there cant of been many true followers in the 1902 years prior to their being chosen,in fact it works out there were only 48 annointed spaces per year.but suddenly from 1919 to 1935 a period of only 16 years we have an increase of holy ones to 3279 per year .this is so obviously rubbish,and how the hell did they no there were 91535 annointed before them,hope that all makes sense.

  Chimine....Maybe the Judge's favourite tipple was the famous Bundaberg Rum from Queensland..

  A few swipes of this stuff and you certainly see visions and hear voices.

  Should the newly annointed be breath tested before partaking?

  LOL good idea! Hey......I'd like some of that, maybe if I feel like I'm going strait to Heaven.......hhhmmm? LOL

  The JWs don't differ that much

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wts claims that it is different from the world however we know that in essence they do not differ enough to be truly different.

  what points can we use to justify the position that they are in essence the same as the rest of the world, that they are also babylon and part of the beast?

  to begin with i would say they are very materialistic and lack true love and spirituality, and they also destroyed many families.

  They've hidden just as much, if not more, child molestation cases as the Catholics, and most Jdubs I know think the Catholics are the worst
