i am an active jw and was raised as one.
i have been watching the site for a while and thought it could benefit from the opinions of someone who is happily a member of the jw's.
i will not get into any argumets that lead to nothing except name calling, and will not talk with anyone who is just plain mean (plenty of them in here).
YYM -
again, your logic is flawed. If you can't say for certain that only Jehovah's Witnesses will be saved, than there is NO POINT in being one. organized religion is not mentioned in the bible. in fact, the word "organization" does not appear once.

"So those pictures the bboy posted are accurate. There will be a day of great destruction, but the pictures show hope for those that persevere and adhere to Jehovah."
YoYoMama -
do you believe that those saved will only be Jehovah's Witnesses?
since hawkaw and messenger (and others?
) have suspicions about me being some kind of informant or troll, i would like to know how the rest of you feel about my posts?.
if it were up to you, would you want me to continue posting or not?
i don't care if you post or not - I just read people's posts and respond to them if I feel like it. It really doesn't make a difference to me.
all jw's care about are their own salvation or everlasting life.
yoyomama has verified this in the following post:.
"i love the elders in my congregation and i appreciate their effort to help me through my illness.
all JW's care about are their own salvation or everlasting life. YoYoMama has verified this in the following post:
"I love the elders in my congregation and I appreciate their effort to help me through my illness. Why would you want me to argue with them over little things? Should I test their love? No, I am sure of their love and their genuine help. The UN thing is really no big deal. I'm sure Jehovah will give the correct guidance regarding it. Meanwhile I am concentrating in my own salvation."
my wife and i are moving 3000 miles away so that we can fade away as jehovah's witnesses.
i am looking for suggestions as to what i should do about our publisher record cards (keep them in pa?, get them forwarded to seattle?
) so that we can start our lives on the west coast with a fresh start and so we'll just be left alone...any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
hi conflicted,
the primary reason we are moving to seattle is because my wife wants to finish her degree in teaching at the U of Washington.
we want out of this religion (and we have for some time), but want to do it in a way that will allow us to keep our relationships w/ our families. that is why doing the right thing w/ the publisher record card is important to me - i don't want to have any questions raised.

what is your opinion of the affiliation w/ the UN, scum?

"Meanwhile I am concentrating in my own salvation."
this seems to be the same reason why many inactive JW's have been coming back to the meetings after the events of 9/11/01. I understand your need for some sort of faith structure, but if you are so concerned about the truth, how can you just dismiss the UN situation?
i have seen it referred to many times but i still don't what you all are referring to.
i have heard different things.
did the wts try to get the bill passed to have all religions banned to try to fullfill one of their prophesies?
look it up

ask your brothers about the UN affiliation, yoyomama, and see how loving they are then. i'm sure BadWillie would be interested to see how your elder body reacts.
is there anyone from the area who remmbers the story of the 30,000 spent on trees for the vist of a gb memmber.. i dont know the exact story as it is now about 7 or 8 years ago but i heard it from several people that worked on the hall.. apparently a gb memmber was to come to britian to dedicate the hall (i cant remmember which one).. the brothers in charge wanted the hall to look nice for his vist.but the land around was yet to be landscaped.. so brothers enquired as to the viability of planting some trees but were informed that it was the wrong time of year and they would die.. the cost of the trees was around the region of 30,000.plus the amount of free labour from the brothers in planting them.. anyway the big bosses of the scheme decided to ignore the professional advice and planted them anyway.. they all died.. 30.000 pounds of money from old ladies, pioneers and little children as well as ordinary publishers went down the drain for the gb's visit.. nice to know they used our money wisely.
reminds me of when the Turnersville, NJ assembly hall was being built. no direction and wasted alot of money. One day they had some sisters dig a hole and then fill it back in. What a bunch of idiots.
