  My Spiritual Awakening has turned to........

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  general apathy about religion.. i don't know precisely when it happened.

  but at some point i began to stop needing anything 'organized' in my life religiously.

  not too long ago - as attested to by multiple threads i started here - i was still wishing to replace the ritual of religion at the kingdom hall with some other church.

  How Disfellowshipping Corrupts Congregations

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  disfellowshipping is frequently held up as an example of how jehovah's witnesses are different from.

  other religions and how jehovah supposedly keeps the organization "clean".

  question that needs to be asked is if disfellowshipping really keeps congregations morally clean.

  Can one man be an Island? Bumping into old workmates - awkward

  by needproof in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i like to consider myself a bit of an island.

  some might call what i do anti-social.

  as an island, i have to face inescapable facts - those being that sometimes, i must travel to the mainland.

  Crisis of Conscience/ISoCF Library Campaign

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  many libraries do not have copies yet, as it is far from 'mainstream' reading for most people.

  i propose that we can all do a small deed that can/might be a huge favor to our former 'brethren' in the 'truth'.

  check with the local library, see if they have the books on the shelves.

  Let it go!

  by journey-on in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i got this in an email today and it came at just the right time.

  some days the pain we experience from our loved ones shunning us simply because we have chosen a different spiritual path can be excrutiating.

  if i had chosen a life of immorality or a criminal path, perhaps i could justify it to some extent, but all i did was study, research, pray, and choose to go in a different spiritual direction.

  Where Did All the Fun Times Go?

  by Amazing in

  1. jw

  where did all the fun times go?

  i was looking at the june 1, 1985 watchtower, pg.

  29-31 with its legalistic baptism vows, where one recognizes their association with gods spirit-directed organization, when i was struck by the context of the article.. essentially it gives a last minute warning about proper decorum with swim-wear used for baptism a serious and solemn occasion.
