in another post, jan h said about this site:.

...there is a very angry crowd there, for obviously and understandable reasons, who will accept no dissent regarding their core dogma: that the wts is responsible for all ills and problems in life.

if what he says is correct, then i am very alarmed at this.

Anatomy of a JW Prayer...
by Mister Biggs in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the jw's always teach that our prayers should not be repetitive.. however, for those that are still "active" (and for those who still remember), i present to you typical words or phrases that make up a jw prayer.. feel free to add to the list!.

-"dear heavenly father, jehovah" or "jehovah god".

-"bowed heads and humble hearts".

wow... i feel guilty about even being here, let alone posting my story.

but here goes.... it was back in the late 60's that my dad (actually stepdad who adopted me and my older sister when he married our mother) got witnessed to by a guy that he worked with.

he was invited to our house for dinner along with his wife and that was the beginning of my new life.

How much trust do you put in others?
by sleepy in
1. jw
2. friends
how much of what we know is built on trust in others?.

when you examine what you believe and why you believe it , how much is built on trust that information you read or hear is correct?.

of course none of us have time to check every thing out and it seams perfectly reasonable to me for us to have to trust others.. but we have all been burnt in the past.. sometimes what initally seams reasonable turns out to be false.. prehaps we can look at the methods used by people to see whether research is trust worthy.. but unless we personnaly can test these methods how can we vouch for them?.

Love amongst the "brothers"
by Thirdson in
1. jw
2. experiences
the one thing that jws claim is the love they have for one another.

i am well aware of some of the things that have been done in the congregation for members and i believe real love was shown.

in times of natural disaster jws have been very good at caring for their own.

Lots of Newbies Posting: Welcome!
by Room 215 in
1. jw
2. friends
my impression is that recently a lot of erstwhile lurkers have progressed to the ``newbie'' class, and taken the plunge to begin communicating with the rest of us.

a most hopeful sign that thoughtful inquiry and just plain ol' curiosity is still alive, if not exactly well, in watchowerland.

what did god tell elijah, that there was still ``7,000 left in israel that had not bowed down to baal?''.
