  by lonelysheep in

  2. scandals

  that was the first thing out of my mouth to the two women witnesses who came by yesterday to talk to me, their return visit.

  i had wanted to talk to them since last saturday, one of the women came by with a fellow and offered me the magazines.

  she asked, "do you think the world will ever be filled with peace?

  Will Armageddon be announced through the WT Magazine?

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after seeing all the controversy on the fulfillment of matt 24:14, many are waiting for it to be printed in the wt in order for it to be true.. now, the latest wt is given to jws somewhere around 3 months before it's studied at the wt study (correct me if i'm wrong).

  many, if not most jws don't bother reading the brand new magazines until it's time to prepare for the sunday wt study.. now, given that the wts has to print "new light" in the wt in order for it to be true, it would take three months if not more (printing, shipping time) to announce that armageddon has arrived.. isn't there something wrong with this picture?

  my daughter's aunt (my x sil, and a jw) moved into my daughter's neigborhood recently.

  she has had nothing to do with my daughter in over 15 years.

  my daughter was never baptized, but her aunt chose to basically ignore her existence for all these years.

  Is David Beckham worth $250 million?

  by unbeliever in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read that david beckham is leaving real madrid and coming to the us to play for the la galaxy.

  soccer is not that popular in the us and that is a obscene amount of money to pay a player and i am surprised that david beckham would want to finish out his career playing in the us.

  i guess for $250 million anyone would.

  Help settle a debate. Internet relationships...

  by esw1966 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a stay at home dad posted on craig's list that he was looking for platonic email correspondance with a lady, someone to talk about life with, insights into relationships, a reason to turn on the computer in the morning et cetera....... my fiance occasionally finds herself seeking relationships with select people online and getting into soulful conversations with them.

  she feels that people can be their truest selves in these moments.

  to share the quirks of life with random fellow americans is somehow thrilling to her.

  What were your reasons for becoming a JW?

  by Narkissos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reasons, not excuses -- even valid ones (like, "i was ignorant, depressed, fooled").. yours in the sense that you can still own (to) them -- even though you now know the "answer" was wrong.. this obviously applies to those who became jws -- hence mostly not born-in, although some of the latter might admit to having chosen the jw way for themselves at a certain stage of their childhood or teenage years.. this question is triggered by a previous conversation with purplesofa on another thread:.

  i think most of us that came in and not born in were searching.

  our hearts were pure in our search.

  How Dysfunctional A Witness Were You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reading posters' comments help me to see that since leaving "the organization", many have gotten emotionally better.

  of course, you don't have to be a witness to have dysfunction but feeling the pressure of always being told that we are inferior, that we're not doing enough, can get to the best of us!

  looking back, how dysfunctional were you??
