  A "friend" has died.

  by Nellie in

  2. friends

  i met this man 17 years ago - new to the city, he was an elder in the congregation.

  his personality was warm and loud - (a new yorker, of course) -- i had left home, but i was reminded of home every time he opened his mouth.

  one of the most endearing things about him was the way he pronounced jehovah - with an "er" at the end, more like jehover... boy was he loud and warm.

  When he said let us make Man in Our image?

  by mydiscounts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  who was he really talking to, i know jws believe it was jesus but it has puzzled me my whole life because i believed jesus had to have had a mother.

  if he is saying let us make mankind in our image he then created two different beings a man and a woman, where does the image of the woman come from, how, why and from whose image are woman from, her body shape, voice sounding softer, and so on?.

  sure i understand the whole rib thing but it goes to reason that there had to be some other being besides jesus he was speaking to, other wise mans companion would have naturally been another man, because the image of jesus is a man and the image of god is also manly.

  Retirement anyone?

  by mydiscounts in

  1. social
  2. current

  anyone here interested in money and retirement from a job?.

  why the rich get richer and the poor and middle class get poorer?

  it is because the system which they use to make money in was designed to end them up poor and working a job to the day they die.. poor and middle class need to change their money making system or they will never be free from a job.

  Married to it JW

  by mydiscounts in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  my personal experience is being married to a man who grew up in a very bad situation at home with jw being very strict.

  this has damaged his mind to a point where he believes what ever they tell him, he is the kind of guy who will not got to a meeting for a year and his first day back his hand is up in a watchtower study.. he then wants to try that s^%$ on my children and then we are in a fight, i am afraid i am just married too it being that i lost my dad early in life not to death but he just left and i grew up with out him in my life i feel bad spliting up.

  my youngest son tells me all the time how much he hates his father, i hate to say deep inside if i were him i would also hate my husband.

  questions

  by mydiscounts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  i am new here but i have a few questions for one i really would like to know why so many jws do not believe in working for themselves, giving to charity and helping their fellow man unless they are a fellow witness?.

  i always get the excuse that the new system is coming and we will never retire in this old system, but hey guys we are getting old in this system right here so why not do something for yourself and your futures now?

  2. friends

  i received my first elder call yesterday.

  he wants to talk to me today.

  i have never been afraid of the elders but i also have no experience on what they are going to say because i have never ask for their opinion on anything and i have never been accused of anything either so, any ex or current elders here that can brief me about what to expect?.
