Evolution or Creation??
by dottie in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
well i know i may be opening a can of worms here.... but after what we were taught in the wts about creation...and now that you may know more about evolution... which do you think you'd choose to believe more??.

myself...i am leaning towards evolution...but then i read things that make me think otherwise.

so i do find it confusing sometimes .

MORE QUESTIONS TO ASK A JW
by crawdad2 in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
i talked to an inactive jw yesterday.......he swore that the dateline show was only 15 min long!........

and that dateline had to recant alot of things they said!!!!.......

i'm guessing that is the correct jw bs that they are using on the public right now, to tone it down.

How Long???
by Xena in
1. jw
2. friends
i have been drifting for about 1 1/2 years now and was hoping that in a year or two i would have distanced myself enough from the org.

that i can actually start living my life exactly the way i want to...aka celebrating the holidays by putting lights on the house, not having to tell my daughter not to say anything about going trick or treating, getting birthday presents or going to cheerleader camp.

but i read some posts in the disfellowhiping thread started by somebody where people have been inactive for 3 years and are still disfellowhiped!

Why does the WTBTS survive?
by Skimmer in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
back in late 1973 when i got my fatal doubts about the wtbts, i was sure that the society would crumble soon after 1975 when yet another prediction failed.

i was not alone with this thought; a british author by the name of stevenson (an exjw that had written an expose) allocated an entire chapter in his book about the likelihood that there would be a very major falling away in 1976 or soon thereafter.. but it didn't happen.

yes, there were several years of consecutive worldwide declines.
