  Question on the War in Iraq

  by dins in

  1. social
  2. current

  after reading the face of war post on how the us in covering up the atrocities, it has finally compelled me to ask this question which has been on my mind for weeks.

  i am glad to see saddam gone and think in the end it will have been the right thing to do.

  but when bush told saddam to disarm "or else" what if saddam had really disarmed?

  Need help with the Trinity

  by dins in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been talking to a coworker of mine about religion and it's been rather interesting; it involves accepting christ into your heart as your saviour.

  another thing is the trinity.. is there anything that any of you have found in the bible based on these beliefs.

  i keep reading scriptures about god being one, and christ his son but then my coworker insists they are one in the same.. how, if anyway.

  Do you feel alienated from your JW family?

  by dins in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just a general query as today i am feeling, as most sundays, like i want to move to the moon and get away from my jw family...ie, mother and father.

  for years i lived abroad and didn't really think about it much, but now that i am back and in the area, just the very thought of spending too many minutes in their company makes me want to pack up and move away again.

  it's been several years since i left home and the jw organization.

  Advice Needed on Memorial Invite!!

  by dins in

  2. friends

  today, while on the phone with my jw mother, she drops the, by the way do you want to come to the memorial thing for the first time in i don't know how many years.

  i was kind of taken aback and said that i would think about it.

  obviously, i have no intention of going, but should i just say nothing, say no, or just say i don't agree with the jw doctrine at all and to attend would be hypocritical of me?

  Check out this JW site!

  hi all,.

  i was at my grandmother's yesterday and stumbled upon a diary with www.circuitleasing.com on her kitchen table.. seems like the society has their own leasing company now, selling co's cars and they regularly send my gran the information on how to buy since she bought one about 8 years ago from brooklyn.

  they are plying her with calendars and key chains this year.. anyway, check the site out and make sure you register for your free keychain too while supplies last.. let me know what you think.. diana

  had a few spare moments so i called wts in nyc.

  a pleasant woman who asked if i was the press, answered the phone and directed me to someone else, who then directed me to someone else, who finally put me in touch with someone who identified himself as patterson.. i explained that i had read the article in the guardian newspaper and i was concerned about the article.

  he asked if i was a jw and i said no, my parents and grandmother are.. i then asked him what the response was.

  SO FRUSTRATED OVER THIS!!!

  by dins in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just got back from my grandmother's where i casually brought up the un thing, asking what the society has to say.. of course, she didn't know anything about it, but when i filled her in, albeit briefly, she burst out that it couldn't be true, the internet lies, etc.

  when i pointed out to her that the wts was on the un list, she immediately said that "someone must have added it, an apostate.

  " she asked if i could get a copy of it and she would present it to the elders.

  i went to see my grandmother today, who has been a jw pioneer for going on 60 years and is still pioneering.

  this is what she told me.. she said that they had their one-day assembly yesterday and that attendance was high.

  she said that there was someone there from bethel in ny, who told everyone his experience of the attack on tuesday.

  Where were you in 1975?

  by dins in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a vivid memory of 1975 even though i was only 6 years old.

  i remember the whispers and the fervor surrounding the year.

  i even had an uncle who marked his calendar every day with big red xs proclaiming that he couldn't wait for "this evil system of things to end.".
