Why exactly do you come to this board?

by R.Crusoe in

i wondered if anyone, after starting to post here after so long being worried about doing, now just does it because they acn and hasn't stopped to ask why the still feel the need or even pleasure.. so why do you come here?.

do you know?.

it's not easy to completely explain what it is substiruting for imo!.

I come here to keep up on the world of the Watchtower. I can find out what is going on and the latest publications are often posted here. While I have studied JW doctrine I have never been a JW. I have no access to their publications and the offficial JW site has very little useful information.

I am also concerned about JW human rights in countries that suppress freedom of religion. While I don't agree with JW's on theology I want them to have the freedom to express their views.

A strange situation ?

by lancelink in

jw
friends

my wife has started to study/associate with another religion while being a full blown jw.

they come over 1-2 times a week, study, discuss matters and she goes to their church for special occasions.

i got a little disturbed that this was going on for so long, and suggested that she discuss this with the elders at the kh.

Is she studying to become a Mormon?

What Did The Witnesses and Christian Science Have In Common ?

by AlphaOmega in

i bought a book entitled "miscellaneous writings 1883-1896" by mary baker eddy.. i was surprised to see the "cross and crown" logo on the cover.. .

it is almost identical to the logo that the watchtower used in the early days :.

i didn't realise that this was a common christian symbol in use at the time, i just thought i'd share it.. .

Mary Baker Eddy founded CHRISTIAN SCIENCE not Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard founded Scientology. FYI.

Thinking of becoming a Witness again and my reasons for doing so :(

by reniaa in

i've been a faded jw for 10 years i left because of my failed first marriage, i'm no hypocrite and realised i had left completely so i embraced the world and dived in, only christmas and birthdays i could not get into, they were too foreign to me having never celebrated them, like if i suddenly tried to do ramadan or something like that.. 1/ all the criticisms of the people in the truth you say on here, i've found in the world, warts and all only in the world nothing holds them back from being utterly horrible to you.. 2/ i got stabbed by a worldly boyfriend, i got married 2 times of my own choosing to men outside the truth, the first smoked and was an alcoholic, the second gambled every penny we had and defrauded me out of money after we separated, 2 divorces later i am currently pregnant and a single mum since current boyfriend decided kids was to much of a responsibility and he needed his freedom and i was 'too selfish to expect him to give up his life'.. 3/ parents-in-law!

i have been shunned by them as equal to anything you accuse witness families of and for the silliest of reasons, i had a disabled son and his grandparents said they wanted nothing to do with him because they didn't want to become attached in case he died.. 4/ i miss the honest friendships of the truth, i had friends of all ages from 14 to 80 years old and they genuinely cared for me, many trying to keep me in the faith a long time after i left but i was determined to fade so moved away completely, but i find friendships in the world so shallow in comparison and very hard to sustain :( i've never been a drinker and sometimes thats what friendship means you being a companion for them to goto pub with.. 5/ my recent boyfriend was in a christian religion, i thought why not find out about it, harvest churches if you ever heard of them, unfortunately it still hasn't stop him leaving me pregnant and alone and when i said to him how does he clear that with god, he replies "as long as i repent it doesn't matter" it's like he has a "get out of jail free card" for any wrong-doing in the bible, this is so alien to me and my witness trained conscience.. 6/ i recently out of frustration tried looking into atheism and joined their forums, it wasn't fun, they are as bombastic and arrogant as their religious counterparts can be from any religion, they make a religion out of not believing in god, it's very weird they talk of saving people from believing in god and offer nothing to replace it.

they said to me "be happy you are in reality now and enjoy it" and i thought "well if this is reality i've had enough of it".
