  Has Anyone, or, How Many Have Written to WTS...what was the response?

  by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wrote for the first time 5 months ago.

  one of my sisters, a hoho, was married 27 years to an ms who has abused her mentally, emotionally, physically, and this was well-known to most everyone who knew them including family.

  when she filed for divorce, i heard that our parents, other family and ex-friends yelled at and criticized her, and then the elders called her into a meeting and condemned her, i was furious.

  What's your present belief ?

  by JH in

  .

  without attacking anyone for their beliefs, feel free to state what you believe in right now.. personally, i still believe in a higher power, a creator, call him jehovah if you wish, a god that will put things back right eventually.

  Everyone has a song

  by Wordly Andre in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everyone has a song that reminds them of a particular moment in their lives, happy or sad or sometimes indifferent.

  its only that when you hear that song it takes you back even catching you off guard and suddenly your back in high school or remembering someone you loved and lost.

  how many of you have a song that reminds you of leaving the org.

  washington (afp) - for the first time since it began, a majority of americans believe the iraq war is not part of the war on terrorism, as us president george w. bush keeps insisting it is, according to a poll.. fifty-one percent of the 1,206 adults surveyed in the august 17-21 new york times/cbs news poll believed the two wars were separate, while 44 percent saw a link between them.

  in june, opinion was split evenly at 41 percent..

  rest of the story here.

  THE REAL REASON FAMILY MEMBERS SHUN.........................

  by vitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think the real reason family members shun their "loved ones" is not because they love you and think it will bring you back, or that they are being obedient to god, but that you have totally embarrassed them, brought the family name into disrepute and it now brings into question how spiritual they are.. if they shun you, in their minds, they think the elders, and dubs will not think less of them.

  its all about what the "neighbours " think not what the bible teaches.. its about pride not love.. what do you think?.

  oh and it gives them brownie points to be used at armageddon.......................just in case.. .

  i work with a young woman in her mid-thirties that is openly lesbian.

  we have been friends for about 10 years when she first started working at the company.

  I don't get it

  by lola28 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i need some help in understanding something that's been bothering me for a while, please give me some insight on this.

  i often see posts here where some take shots at elders and witnesses for working as janitors and window washers, and it's always bothered me.

  i mean does it really matter what they do for a living as long as they are making a living honestly?
