  Little things that mean alot

  by beautifulisfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  okay i hate to sound mean but witnesses in my opinion are mean and rude (that once included me) without even realizing it, maybe.

  because the little things that non-witnesses do in everyday life for others and their family mean alot to ones they love or complete strangers.. what are some little things you can do know that show someone you care..that you weren't allowed to do before?.

  1. saying "bless you" after someone sneezes

  You people are all the same....(dispelling myths about apostates)

  by beautifulisfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know you are sick of that phrase by now....because jdubs use it all the time when referring to 'apostates'.

  they come on this forum or (people you know) generalize 'apostates' as though we are of different class...that we are no longer human.

  they are obviously fed these little tid-bits about 'apostates' from the society since i am sure they don't personally know many.

  Another reason the WTS doesn't want JWs on the net?

  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all pretty well understand that the wts tells jws that bing on the internet is dangerous to their spiritual standing because people on the net are controlled by satan

  but... maybe there is a second reason.we also know that the wts believes if people read the wt literature they will come to the wrong conclusions.

  people require someone to sit with them and read every paragraph of a wt book to make sure they understand the book in the right way.we know the website for the wts is pretty sanitized so people don't run off too quicklywe know there is no place on the wts' website for discussion.

  Noise pollution

  by spiceant in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you recently had a moment when it was completely silent and there was no noise whatsoever?.

  as i see it now we as a western society have grown to become more and more noisyer then we have ever been, now that we can coveniently purchase lots of cheap machines ouer lives are becoming more and more filled with a culprit that i call noise.

  noise in itself is often not perceived as such nausiance but often as an affordable companion of leasure and covenience.. the public property that we call air is very often taken for granted and disregarded by ouer fellow people, big citys are already very noisy places but should we really care about noise?.

  The Bribe of Heaven and The Threat of Hell.

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  which is it that cause you to believe that either teaching from the bible is truly the truth.

  is the desire to want to go to heaven the reason you believe what you believe, or is it the fear and threat of hell that makes you walk the line so to speak.. i don't believe that god needs to or has ever bribed or threathened anyone with 'do this or else.

  ' i believe what is written about god in the bible are the words of men.

  <thoughts> Having left just the JW's "cult" or some more to?

  by spiceant in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have read a lot of text and story's about people that leave the jw's and this appears to be pretty much all that's being talked about.. i assume you believe that you have done right by your opposing stand to the jw's because you believe you have been done evil (or have seen jw's do evil) and probably right so.

  do you people still pray to jehova and study the bible (on your own for once) as to get to know jehova's purpose for us?.

  i wonder about this because i fear that you might "revert" back to the common western culture (assuming you live in one because you'r after all reading this over the internet) which i appal and detest in very many of its motivational aspects (that is, the motivations of its people) that are crudely speaking, selfish and ultimately, in the generations long run destructive.

  JW congegrations

  by spiceant in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been looking for dates and places when jwitnesses hold their congegrations in their kingdom halls but i have failed to find the dates, i did find one kingdom hall within my city (within a 25 minutes action radius).

  but when do they hold their congegrations?

  i'v never been to one but that you can supposidly walk into any of the congegrations is something.. about a 9 months ago (august 2005) i red an article about a phenomena i would later know as peak oil which is generally about how the western society is very dependant on oil and is incapable of turning away from it before it becomes to expensive of a commodity for us (very generally speaking).
