This seems so ironical to me! The organization has that has been preaching and looking forward to the end of the system, but the end will be put an end to them.
Hey was anyone pointed this out to the Leaders., they lose all their control.
the walls of the wts are finally being cracked but nobody is breaking down the walls.we have the internet exposing all their lies,elders resigning,no new members beside families being baptized, contributions dwindling,teens leaving in droves,and layoffs at the wts headquarters .still,the walls remain intact.the 800 lbs.
gorilla is missing to break down the wall.. we know in 1975 many members left but the wts wall was easily repaired.who will finally break the walls down and how will it happen?
what will it take for a mass exodus?.

jehovahs witnesses seem more.
concerned and worried about how they look in front of the congregation .
I'm not even a JW but I can tell that my husband is very concerned about the way I look and dress. I can tell he does not want me to be inappropriate in front of the congregation. I have been rebeling a little. Like the one day I wore a type of pant skirt to a bible study. He was like "well I don't want you to feel undressed" I said "I think, I look very nice and said I won't. It is so sad. What is he so scared of?
historically, the bible is a secondary support for christians and jews.
i was raised roman catholic, and our tradition and practices included the bible, but it was not a key centerpiece of our faith.
the jewish side of my family likewise have a rich history of tradition and faith that is lived, and not pinned down to every word in the bible.
I feel so ignorant, I have nothing to add on this subject but am so glad to be finally hearing the REAL TRUTH!
hey my husband and i are big football fans!

Wishing it could be so much simpler!

another point made in the film is the courageous stand witnesses take on blood transfusions which has resulted in great advances in modern medicine.. .
whenever you have to defend a defenseless position, trot out the old red herring.
yes witnesses are not likely to get blood transmitted diseases.
Sorry if I am a little confused. Is this film is good or bad? Seems to me, to be protraying a very positive postion for JW's. Any one seen the whole movie? How come no news about it from the meetings?
Repeat .....a little confused, so what else is new, remember, my husband is trying to convert me!!!

this is the most popular ringtone for young people today, as it allows them to hear something that most people over the age of 40 can not.
test it out, can you hear it.
i could, but then again i am only 36. i have tested it with several people and many of them could not hear it.
I heard something! A Low Humming. The volume was way up. I'm 53, don't know what it means
That my 2 cents worth

Hey my husband and I are big football fans! So This week-end is a ciurcut assembly meeting. I have never been to one before and my husband has not been in a long time. So I am thinking this is a test or something. I heard one on the elders saying that they are taking note on who is attending. We have been invited to a superbowl party with some non JW friends. I thinking I will go on Saturday and then decide what I will do on Sunday.
But I am also thinking I could get my husband to leave early if I go with him on Sunday. The Assembly is over 2 hours away, so it is a big commitment to go! Is this too munipulating!
Can anyone relate?
i was talking to a current jw about this issue.
i asked if they had heard about mt 24:14 being fulfilled, to which they replied 'no'.
had told them that the wt has said that scripture had been fulfilled a long time ago, which they did..... i then asked, 'so you *have* heard about mt 24:14 being fulfilled since your co is talking about it....'well, ya'.(!!
I think I was talking about it with my husband a few weeks ago and he felt that it had not happened. But then I think I heard one of the Elders (maybe OC) mention it in a talk, in reguards to 3rd world countries, so I really don't know what they are saying.

i am an open minded jw who believes in freeness of speech.
i love my faith and my worldwide brother and sisterhood (even though i see much room for improvement in how things are run).. i thought i would stir things up a bit with the following question:.
Dear Sola:
Thank you for being an open minded Witness. Infact I just challenged my husband to be one (open minded JW) today. I brought him the information on the "Freedom of speech lawsuit in Demark" he was very suspicious about where I got my information from and its motives. He said "He wanted to ask the Elders what they knew about it". Who wants to take a guess on the answer he will get from the Elders.
We also talked about why he believes that JW's are only true practicing Christians today. He reference "Reasoning from the Scripture book" and said it explained why only JW's were ture Christain today and God's organization. According to Reasoning Book:
Not a true religion if they teach Trinity or immortallity...........Not true religion if they do not use the Name "Jehovah".....not a true religion if do not practice faith that is accompanied by works.........Not a true religion if they do not sincerely endeavor to apply bible standards in their lives........if they support wars.........if they are involved in politics......... if they are not going house to house to preach the good news.
So, I don't understand why you would be asking, if JW's qualify as Christ disciples, according to "The reasoning from the Scriptures", JW's would be the only ones to qualify as Christ disciples. Because as far as I know they are the only religious organization who say they follow all these requirments?
Sincerely, Inlove2

How do you become an open minded JW. From what I have seen, that is the main thing you are not!! My husband is a JW --I am not, I love him, but he is not OPEN Minded. I have tried to show him things, but he is always making excuses. Like with the United Nations. And seems there is a scripture or a translation, that explains every closed minded teachings. So please tell where to meet the open minded JW, maybe I can start a bible study with them.
