  Sooo Armageddon comes....

  by MsGrowingGirl20 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so let's say armageddon comes,do you believe that all jw's would be destroyed because jehovah knows it's a false religion...it can't be denied,for the most part,they try to live by the bible...if anybody has to be punished i would say it's the leaders...i know that god wouldn't judge a whole organization but persons individually....so what i'm trying to ask is....do you think you're in a better position right now not for freedom but for salvation than the witnesses??

  if by the time you're finished reading this post armageddon is here...would u wish that you still were a witness or are you satisfied that you've made god proud?.

  DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE IN A BETTER POSITION WITH GOD THAN YOU WERE AS A WITNESS???

  Yes, because I do not condone or cover up child abuse and domestic vioence for the sake of a multi-billion dollar business saving face.

  To Vote or Not To Vote... that is the question.

  by harleybear in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as we all know voting or any political involvement is a big bad no no in the jw org.

  i actually have been a registered voter since i was 18 and was still in the org.

  obviously i kept that very quiet until i made my break from the org.

  I've been registered to vote for 16 years and participate in all elections from local to national. Luckily I've never been called for jury duty. But if it ever happens, I'll tell he truth and say I have no faith in the justice system, and it would be impossible to believe either side, rendering me useless to make a decision.

  I would if I could. I had jaundice from a bad gall bladder, and a rep from the American Red Cross said I shouldn't ever donate.

  My 8 year old gets it

  by discreetslave in

  2. friends

  my 8 year old has recently discovered star trek and loves it.

  the other night we watched an episode "return of the archons".

  whenever someone spoke differently or questioned, it was recognized that they were not one of them or "of the body".

  For example when she was almost 3 she proudly announced at the dinner table "I'm a goat. I want to be a doctor not a pioneer so I'm a goat and I will die at armageddon because I want to be a doctor.

  Well, she's a smart little goat, LOL! Good for her, but I hope she's over the fear of Armageddon.

  My jw mom was in her 30's before becoming a jw, so she already had kids and was on her third marriage. Even so, she has no family life with her kids or siblings, (even the two who are jw). From what I hear, she's isolated herself with a few select jw friends, two of which are a nephew and his wife who are close to her in age. It's really very sad, because she could be grandma and great grandma to my brother's and my stepkids and their children.

  I'm in NE Ohio three miles off of the turnpike between Cleveland and Youngstown. You and your pup are welcome to stay in our old camper, (electric but no water), or you can stay in our spare room as long as you can tolerate cats and cigarette smoke. The dog, though, would have to sleep in the camper or garage, because our cats would probably kill and eat him, LOL!!!

  We're not fancy, but we have a clean, comfortable home, and I'm a decent cook. My husband does prtty well on the grill too.

  My brother lives in NW Maryland and loves to ride his motorcycle. He may want to accompany you for part of your trip if you're in that area.
