How are JW's perceived where you live?
by JH in.
around here, the moment you pronounce the word jehovah witness, you can be sure that you raised the blood pressure of the person listening.. i wonder if somewhere around the world, this isn't so ?

How a Baptist minister was responsible for strengthening me in Mormonism
by Qcmbr ini've been mulling over noggin's story and how i experienced the same scenarios on my mission and i wanted to share the flip side to that story - the one where i was not deconverted at all.
the curent religious crisis in my own life is also at a mature enough point to share some parts.
please note i want to use ths cathartically so excuse my dogmatism - i'm not preaching.

The other faith shaker was the muslim old man who semingly tore a core bible doctrine apart and I was left in a discussion gasping for answers that my missionary companion was equally clueless about (Scriptures talked of the royal line coming through the carpenter Joseph but of course the logical blocker is that Joseph was never the father - the answer is obvious with a bit of thought and research but that's another story -
Is the answer that Mary was also of the line of David? In fact, weren't Joseph and Mary cousins?

Resist Watchtower Pessimism!
by metatron inthe watchtower persists because it is able to addict people to the fantasy that "i won't die before armageddon comes".
never mind that.
heart trouble, diabetes, bad job, empty bank account or rusting car - it's closer than ever and the world ( here it comes!

Interesting post. I've also read that the oil shale deposits in the U.S. are tremendous. The oil potential is greater than all of the reserves throught the middle east. At $3.00 a gallon, it is now feasible to explore and use the deposits. In 10 years can we all say "Buh Bye" to the Arabs?

Excellent reply !!
I was just curious... do you still believe in a Creator, etc.? If so, can you 'guilt' them into maybe seeing that you feel that you are approved of by the Almighty and that they are possibly following the wrong path?
At any rate.... nice job... your son comes first!

How do you deal with JW's knowing they will shun you?
by JH ini went to the grocery store yesterday, and i saw a jw who was looking at me with a sort of sad face.
i said hello, and he didn't reply.
so why does he stare at me for if he knows he won't reply to me when i say hello?

Elders all say hello to me, hoping I'll come back or that I'll say something interesting to them....
To those that shun you, you should happily yell back at them... "IT'S OK...YOU CAN TALK TO ME, REALLY.....THE ELDERS DO...AND BY THE WAY, I'M NOT DISFELLOWSHIPPED!"
