  2. friends

  do the jw's in your community have an overall good reputation?.

  are they generally known for helping their neighbors in times of need?.

  are they known as people who contribute and give back to the local community?.

  first of all, i would like to introduce myself to all of you.

  i am new to this board--so hello everyone!

  Relationship with God

  by dozy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just a general question , really.. i'm an active witness who is questioning & researching - unsure of any conclusions yet.

  i've spoken to a couple of former apostates who have been reinstated as to why they returned (as i know that very few do) and the summary of their conclusions is given below.

  i would appreciate your comments.. ...essentially they had a strong relationship with god and felt that this was the paramount purpose in life.

  i keep meaning to ask one of the super dubs this question, but i'm afraid it will "stumble" them.

  in the weeks before assembly we are given the list of do's and don'ts at ministry school.

  jesus or paul?

  " he gives his opinion and has the nerve to say that he thinks he has god's spirit in what he says.

  well, i have jesus telling me what is the good news and i will listen to him and his father, not men who committ apostasy and flip flop back and forth and misinterpret prophecy and do not show love and want all the glory for themselves.. .

  I think many of you will return to the religion one day

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't mean this as an insult, more of a life experience thing.

  i saw a lot of people leave in my years there and a lot were angry with the religion and the people, and some even protested the kingdom halls and wrote things in the newspapers.

  a lot though, came back in time, as it was just the comfort zone they felt at ease in.

  listing of authorities and their date for the fall of Jerusalem

  by M.J. in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  sorry if this has been posted before.

  i came across it and thought it was worth pointing out: http://members.tripod.com/sosoutreach/wts/607.html.

  (edited) the annoying popup caused me to cut and paste the table from the page, rather than embed it: the narrative before and after is good too so you might want to check it out the original page.
