So as anyone can see, the around the bush party line is STILL that all those alive who are NOT JW when Armegeddon comes will [red]DIE
Lisa:
Please read once more what I had mentioned about "A" and great trib
(it's my personal opinion / I do not know exactly what's the up-to-date-statement of the org today / this can change / maybe you'll read the same in WT 2003 or 04 / I am sure the "light" will shine brighter)
We do not know the way HOW the process will take place, we do not know WHEN and we do not know the DURATION, which the process needs until its end. Fact is, that people who believe and knows, that this process is not man-made but comes from an "higher source" (and there is a name for this source called YHVH/JHWH) will survive this process; those people who go on to fight against this process - ignoring the fact this process comes from God - will not survive.
Certainly: the process will happen in an other manner than most JW's had expected in earlier decades. Bible is no "history" book and furthermore, it is no "programming manual"....
anyone else felt uncomfortable, awkward, wary, unsure, frightened, distraught, when around worldly people?
afraid they were going to try to seduce you, offer you drugs, get you drunk, kill you, etc?.

Me too...
i hope my user name doesn't offend anyone - it actually stands for the [syn] command your computer uses to connect to other computers on the web, not what you were thinking!.
is this board mainly for jw or ex-jw people?
curious.... also...i have heard the phrase 'dub' used to describe jw people.
Hi SYN,
I am one of the "DUB's" (no ex!!). And you?? Let me encourage you to read some of my posts (it's simple, search >members< unter "Erich" and find all posts...). You are able to characterize my person in a better way then.
If you have a special question, don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
ex-jw women: i, and i assume other ex-jw men, would enjoy hearing your views, opinions, feelings, analysis, and conclusions about your jw experience.
how did you feel about your husband, fathers, brothers, elders, ms's, and other women in the organizations?
did you generally feel oppression, and why?

Ooooh that was funny. I did not laugh so much since a long time...

You should see "A" and "great trib" in the book of revelation pragmatically. Not in a religiously/emotionally-skewed way.
YHVH/JHWH will let the worlds matters happen in an manner, so that HIS intention to establish a new and righteous order (in the spiritual world as well as in the material world) will become reality.
We do not know the way HOW process will take place, we do not know WHEN and we do not know the DURATION, which the process needs until its end.

You see: the matter is very simple.

to gambler:
ok. Then please tell me how many people will be surviving after "big A" in your own opinion? I'm curious about your answer.
why are witnessess persecuted?
most religions out there have this thing against witnesses.
many will do anything to get them banned or to shut their mouths.

...there is no way that your way of thinking and what you are doing is acceptable to them. if your circuit overseer knew that you were spending your time here you would be disfellowshiped in a heartbeat and you know it. so dont be trying to pass yourself off as a real witness.
Believe me: I WILL STAY AS A WITNESS FOR JEHOVAH !
And posting in this forum, or not posting in this forum, is exclusively by own business. All OK. ??
(even then if the CO would go the disfellowship me and my familily!)
Hope U'd understood...

There are many JW's, who do less than 100% .;-)
(Some do even less than 20%...)
and there are some JW's not following the mainstream. They see their priorities in different way.

metatron, emglishman etc.
I'm very disappointed. Most of your accusations are defamations.
Me and my wife are JW's since 1984. We do door-to-door-preaching
exclusively as were demanded by Jesus, for warning purposes and for telling the good news about the expectation of a new better and righteous world system.
We never were "collectively self righteous and arrogant". We never were "severely judgemental". We never "broke up families, and we never "encouraged the attitude, that formerly loved relatives are now just >worldly people< worthy of destruction", we never encouraged someone
"to let their children die without blood transfusions", and we never "discouraged our son getting a higher education". (metatron)
We were never name-calling or vilificating any religion (room 215), and..
and additionally, we never said to any person: Do what we say or God will kill you" (seeker)
Mindless nonsense. Brain-amputated shit.
Shame on you all.
