  The Watchtower Society killed my website

  by Elsewhere in

  2. friends

  you can thank the watchtower society for this.. here is an email from my hosting company:.

  unfortunately it appears your site/account was involved in violation of using copyrighted material involved with watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania.".

  as a result of this abuse and activity, we will be unable to reinstate this account for any reason.. in addition, due to the nature of this abuse and the risk of transferring sensitive or illegal content if we were to provide you your files, we will be unable to provide with backups.. it is unfortunate that this has occurred, and we are aware that more than likely this was not your intent to host, however the fact remains it did exist and complaints were made.

  Did your reading skills suffer from your JW experience?

  by Maryjane in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was a staunch jw and rarely read anything other than the wt/awake and newspapers (reading level - 6th grade maybe?

  ) prior to becoming a jw i could easily read a book a week...now it takes me forever just to get through one novel.

  has anyone else lost their reading attention span?

  "Deliverance at Hand" District Convention Invitation

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  truthsetsonefree has provided spiritual food at the proper time by emailing me these scans.... this is the little hand-bill invitation for the next district convention that we've been hearing about.

  considering the fact that most jws never actually read such things before handing them out, i suspect that many people will be given these things but never actually told when and where the convention will be held!

  on the back it says: "the local congregation of jehovahs witnesses invites you to attend the convention that will be held at the time and location shown here.

  HOW MANY THOUGHT THEY WOULD SURVIVE

  by beezknees in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm sure this will have been discussed before..but i am new here, so i was wondering how many of you when you where active jw's actually beleived you were going to survive armageddon.

  i personally being brought up in the 'truth' used to lie in bed frightened of it coming or world events always thinking i was too bad a person to survive, and even as an adult i always felt i was never doing enough or good enough to be 'chosen' for survival when the end came u were always made to feel like you should be doing more as though you could earn your salvation.

  i have talked to someone else who i know has left and they felt the same, i was wondering how many of you guys actually beleived you would make it through armageddon

  a young man is on the verge of saying goodbye to his mother.

  he's forced in to this position due by a rigid organization that punishes strength, intelligence, and individuality.

  i dedicate this thread to all good thoughts about richie rich.

  Losing close relatives in "armageddon"

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while you were jws, when the wts was saying that in a soon to come armageddon all non jws were to be exterminated, that was hard to stomach by many especially concerning innocent children.

  however did that make you feel very anxious about the killing of close non jw relatives, parents, brothers, children etc and their eternal loss?

  did that make you work extra hard to bring them in?
