  Finding someone who loves you for you and enjoys spending qaulity time with you..

  After putting on extra weight, he says your not fat... your thick in all the righ places.

  Someone telling you they'll give up holiday's and raise your kids (imaginary) the JW way, if it'll make you happy - glad that's not going to happen

  Having fun singing Karokee with my man (lol @ us)

  Being able to argue and fight , scream and cry, and make up and forgive.

  Things we were persuaded to believe

  by iamfreenow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  linda and i were just chatting about some of the more odd beliefs of jws, and how we tended to accept them despite not totally understanding them.

  the jws have a tendency to pick incidents from the scriptures and look for a modern - day application, priding themselves on being the only ones who can truly understand what these things mean for todays' world.

  there are severa that i had trouble getting my head around, but gullibly accepted the society's take on them.. for example, i always had problems accepting or even understanding the jw interpretation of the 7 trumpet balasts of revelation, which they said were fulfilled by 7 conventions held between 1922 and 1928. the wtbs was an insignificant religion then compared to the more mainstream churches, and isn't all that significant now in terms of membership, and i just couldn't see why a seemingly - significant event in the bible would find it's fulfillment in a series of conventions that the majority of humanity wouldn't even be aware were taking place.

  I wouldn't be surprised, if in a few years they say that the 7resolutions are the 7trumpet blast in Rev. - New Light!

  Kids under the age of 18 who get baptized...

  by WTFBBQPWNT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  should be allowed to revisit their decision and either revoke or keep their baptism.

  this is too major of a decision to be placed in the hands of minors.

  the mental anguish that can result from it is something that kids should be protected against.. how would one even start the process of getting this passed as a law?

  It almost sounds like she planned to phone you, but wanted to make it sound like it was accidental.

  I was thinking the same thing! Or at least I hope.

  What I can't figure out is why the are allowed to talk to worldly people but not us, their family!

  Because my brother was never baptised he get's to do whatever and she (my mom) shakes her head and keeps on like nothing happened. She calls my aunts all the time, no big problem. Came to the family reunion a few weeks ago, no biggie. But me I say I don't want to go to the KH anymore, because their flip flopping policies are ridiculous and no phone call in 2 weeks! WTF, whatever!
