  by spiceant in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm trying to find literature thats supposed to be only for the elders.

  i would ideally apreciate a site with a list of all jw books and if possible all magazines (wt & awake!)..

  i'm getting spooked off the co that in a conversation mentioned there was literature thats only for elders... and now i just need to know.. search function down and google isn't helping soo well either.

  e-watchman mass banning

  by spiceant in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  recently e-watchman started deleting/suspending (theres a difference?

  ) accounts of people on the e-jehovahs-witnesses.com forum left and right which he and the moderating team deemed to be discussing apostate things as in apostate in brother kings own vision, further detailed in some posts (basicly barring out discussions of jw doctrine).. i suppose my own offenses was my "staying in the org.

  " thread and one that explained that one should not depend on kh's to be able of worshipping.

  I send a homeless fellow human being to JW's

  by spiceant in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am serious about this, i new met a man twice who moved to holland probably in the week of the 22nd june and in total i gave him enough money for about 10 days of shelter.

  now the thing is tomorrow at 5:30 pm he will probably show up at the kingdom hall where i also go to in the high hopes of finding a helpfull jehovahs witness.

  now i didnt invite him to my own home because my parents are no religious people or as remotely altruistic as i am.

  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?.

  <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).
