  Been gone a while, but feel the need for support again

  2. friends

  my jw daughter is getting close to being 18, and she was baptized at the ripe old age of 11.... so i feel like the shunning is coming.

  my sister is also on the verge of getting baptized, even though i have been able to show her many things about the watchtower proving it is full of lies, she is still falling for it.

  she spoke to an elder about the shunning policy, saying she wouldn't join if she would have to stop speaking to me....and they said they couldn't make her do anything...so she took it as them not caring if she speaks to me.

  Need help understanding scriptues in Mathew. just trying to show my wife the BORG is soooo wrong

  by goingthruthemotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as you know i am still in but have no strong conviction for this cult..but i still go because my wife is still asleep to the false teachings.

  for a few months now...when we have family study it is stricly from the bible.

  which is great, while we study we are taking the bible as it is, i think it is opening her eyes and how important jesus is.

  When do folks who study with a JW generally start to tell thier friends?

  by insearchoftruth in

  my wife is again studying with a jw sister, and earlier this week the sister was telling her about how wonderful it is to witness for jehovah.

  well since i have known my wife, she has never spoken positively about the jws to anyone.

  when can i expect her to be told that she should be sharing this with others.

  Sciptures? Help???

  by lostsheep82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this subject is touchy, and i dont want to stir feathers.....but with my most recent convo with my mom and her "anointed" husband, they dont have as much of a problem with me discrediting the society as i do, as they do with the fact that i'm gay.

  as he puts it....ignore the society and what they teach....go to the bible...so i asked him what about david and jonathans relationship, how can you prove they didnt have a sexual love for eachother and he says...'amanda, do you think they were bum holing eachother?'.

  well when you put it that way i dont know, but that has nothing to do with the fact that most gay relationships have nothing to do with the actual act of sex, they have to do with the love two people share, cause they can't share it with someone else.. his response was simpathetic, and cause of my abusive past, that is what they blame it on........if i wasnt abused i wouldnt be gay.

  What does The Watchtower really give to its followers?

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i think this question deserves a thread of its own;.

  what really does the watchtower provide to its followers?.

  they take (and really demand) people's time, energy, and resources.

  Watchtower deception regarding the TRINITY

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have finally finished an article outlining the deceptive way in which the watchtower presents its anti-trinitarian information.

  any constructive criticism such as regarding errors that may have crept in is welcome.

  since i cannot embed a page i hope entering the html code works, otherwise it can be read at http://jwfacts.com/index_files/trinity.htm.

  Holy Moses! PBS documentary suggests Exodus not real

  by ICBehindtheCurtain in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this will be very interesting, i only wish it would make the rounds on the jw emails the same way "knocking" did, fat chance!

  we can only hope that pbs and nova will jump on this bandwagon as well, sooner than later.

  holy moses!
