(john 2:18-22) 18 therefore, in answer, the jews said to him: "what sign have you to show us, since you are doing these things?
" 19 in answer jesus said to them: "break down this temple, and in three days i will raise it up.
" 20 therefore the jews said: "this temple was built in forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?
Are you guys still arguing about the scriptures?
As JW we argued with people for some of us for decades, take a break and enjoy the day
hello all, i haven't been here in forever!
i just had to vent.
sometimes we think we are past the healing process; that our lives can go on like everybody else.
It's interesting among Mormons ( they encourage education very much) those that attend universities and graduate, they are most likely to stay in their religion then those that have less education.
Just the opposit of JW's, the more they go to school the more likely they fall out because they finally are away from the indoctrination and able to use their thinking ability.
i have a strong reason to believe that the change that will be announced in next few days among jehovah's witnesses will bring a major "refining" work among its members.
take a note of this:
if are not regular in meetings and service of field than you're signalling that you're no longer a jehovah's witness.
No way
Too many irregular ones, inactive ones, and older ones that don't want to publish or cannot publish due to age.
Elders would have to pass judgement on too many witness of why they are not active and whether they have a good reason.
The numbers of the rank and file would dip like crazy, the society could not handle the humiliation of seeing their reports going down the drain.
Maybe, the new policy is to report even 10 minutes of service every month and that would inflate the numbers of publishers

i am in the process of packing all of my stuff into my little 4 door mitsubishi (which i have to bring back of course since my mom won't let me keep the car) with just $255 to my name.
here's my previous story: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/9/116282/1.ashx.
its both an exciting and scary time for me but i did have one important question to ask:.
There is no way in the world you will be DF's for that.
Why are they even meeting with you? Did your parents call for this meeting? Are they going to try to encourage you to do more in the truth or investigating whether you have any hidden sins?
Anyway you will not DF's if you move out.
Just tell them you need to sort things out, that's all. Try not to say anything against the society or teaching, that's when you might get in trouble.
when was the last time that the society gave an explanation about 1914?
for years now it's always that god's kingdom was established in the heavens in 1914 and 1918 jesus directed his attention toward rutherford.
no more trying to give historical facts or dates why they came up with 1914.. is this what you have noticed?

ugh, okay, here's the story: i've been doing quite well, but today i heard about a good jw friend who now shuns me.
at first it sounded like he was feeling remorseful and wanted to get in touch again.
*buzzz* wrong!
Forgive them the best you can
Don't forget, all of us have been victmis of the Watchtower, they truly cannot help it.
From the time of Russell in 1870 to 2006 millions have been hurt,
View them as victims and it might help to heal.
what are some of your fav quotes from movies???.
i love the line in face off "oh eve i hate to see you go but i love to watch you leave".
and the one in the rock " you want me to stick this in my heart are you f#$%ing nuts".
I'll make him a deal he can't refuse.
my father commented at a meeting once, "when people accuse me of being brainwashed, i reply, "i certainly am!
my brain has been washed clean of the world!
" uproarious laughter ensued from the flipper clapping seals in the cong.
Yes my wife.
She says she loves to be in the bubble, and she will jump off a cliff if the GB tell her to.
