  How long will you post?

  by return visitor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've just noticed that some here have been posting for years, thousands of posts, some average 2, 5, even up to 10 posts per day, every day for years.

  i am relatively new to the site, just wondering, what keeps those long time posters comming back?

  i can actually see in my own case a time when my interest will wane.

  Help needed

  in reading coc i learned that prior to the 1980's it was ok to speak with disassociated witnesses and that this was changed in the 1980's.

  while i can find the article in the 80's that addresses the issue, i can't find anything that shows that it is a change.

  can anyone direct me to something published by the organization that reflects their teaching before the change?.

  How did you get out of field service?

  by return visitor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had a boat that i always wanted to name "return visits" that way whenever i was asked why i wasn't in field service on saturday i could respond, "i went out on return visits" and nobody would be the wiser.

  just wondering, did anyone else come up with a good way to dodge that question?.

  Friendships

  by return visitor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when firmly entrenched in the borg i complained to my wife that friendships in the "truth" didn't seem as real as i noticed worldly people had.

  for instance, the worldly person i worked with was constantly doing things with friends, whether it was going to ball games or helping a friend put on a new roof.

  in our circle of friends we could never count on help, our friends were too busy trying to earn a living and doing the borgs bidding.

  Isaiah 11:6-9

  by return visitor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you noticed that the wts in their publications literally interpret this schripture, isaiah 11:6-9 .

  6 and the wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them.

  7 and the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down.

  Hurts so good?

  by return visitor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know many have been hurt by association with the wts, but i was just wondering, are there any truths that you accually can take away from your association with it.

  for instance, before becoming a jw i would recite the lord's prayer, and had never read in matt.

  that is was not to be recited, but that it was mearly there as an example of how to pray.
