  I finally did the right thing

  by cyberdyne systems 101 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had been friendly to a woman i met recently and wanted to take things further, but found out she was with someone when i asked if she wanted my number.

  i bumped into her again two weeks later and she then asked for my number, so i asked her again was she with someone, she said yes but she could still text me.

  my gut reaction through mistakes i have made in the past was to not get involved.

  You did do the right thing. Don't date a cheater, she would just cheat on you as well.

  How do the JW's interpret the mark on the right hand and forehead and 666?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  and it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead,17and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name.18here is where wisdom comes in: let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a mans number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.. in these few verses alone, they talk about a mark on the right hand and forehead, as well as not being able to buy or sell without that mark, and finally the number of the wild beast 666.. after studying the revelation climax book a couple of times with the jw's, i still don't recall a clear explanation for these verses above.. if we are so close to the end, wouldn't they know what 666 means by now?

  The mark identifies those who give support to the beast in any way. In my opinion this includes the WT for joining the DPI of the UN and promoting the UN's programs in their literature. This is why I stopped going in Field service.

  Do JW's really care if the literature they leave ends up in the garbage can

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just like junk mail, i'm sure that jw literature, tracts or magazines ends up in the garbage can just as fast as any junk mail.

  most witnesses must know this, but still they look at how many hours and placements they will add to their report.

  what people do with the literature, most jw's know.. i recieved my tract yesterday, and it went in the garbage can in no time.. in a way, they create polution, knowing that most of their literature will end up in the trash..

  Having worked with young children in schools I really believe some people are born gay. I've seen too many little children with definite gay tendencies , and sure enough, they grew up to be gay. I think it is popular today to experiment and so I am sure there are those who make a conscious choice or who consider themselves bisexual. But I've known too many people who just are not interested in the opposite sex just like heterosexuals are not interested in same sex relashionships.

  The Love Starved

  when i first got on the internet, 8/9 years ago, the only people i came in contact with were jw's.

  i had just been reinstated, after being df for 9 years.

  my first observation was how lonely the chatters were.

  You are so right purps. I have been to many a meeting and though surrounded by many people felt utterly and completely alone. And I happen to be a pleasant person who smiles at everyone no matter what. I can just imagine what more introverted people go through in this organization.

  do you agree with this statement by the org?

  by PaNiCAtTaCk in

  this was taken off the jw-media website

  conscience

  jehovah's witnesses avoid making rules and regulations beyond those provided in the scriptures, and they do not follow traditions that contradict bible teachings.

  They don't practice what they preach.
