by Marcel in
1. jw
2. experiences
i dont believe much of the societys teachings anymore.

but theres one thing that i carried with me all my life:

when everything is false, what is about those stories about demons, seances and all that stuff that is out in the world?

Ran into a JW and DFed, DAed, or faded?
by pierogi in
1. jw
2. experiences
okay, i'm interested in experiences where you are dfed, daed or faded and you ran into a jw somewhere.

if you are dfed or daed, most likely they'd just ignore you.

this is unless you ran into them at work (like a restaurant, bank, grocery store) where it is there job to talk to you.

Will the WTBTS come to an end?
by pierogi in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
cults come and go so do you think the wtbts will eventually come to an end?

i think about this sometimes and i wonder if i will live to see it.

the reason why i want it to end is because i don't like the administration.

Do you (still) pray to God?
by Marcel in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
im still a witness, but my mind is shunned, already.

im staying for fear, since i dont have anything outside the jw's.

im not a hardliner saying im sure jw's are wrong or god dont exists, but i confessed myself that i just dont know and i guess strongly that a menmade organization which behaves and acts like the wts cant be the right.

In the end, what will really matter?
by exwitless in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in light of the current deep philosophical discussions whirling around, i thought i would post another topic to ponder.

hillary step motivated me to start this topic by this comment on another thread:.

if there is anything that i have learned in my 500 years of life, is that none of it matters much anyway.. we all end up in some dismal cemetry with drunken kids urinating on our tombstones anyway.

Would Blondie or Mary ever make it as Elders in your old Congregation?
by RULES & REGULATIONS in
1. watchtower
2. bible
we know the wts will never except woman as elders.in the last year as a member of jwd,i have learned more from blondie and mary than any elder in my congregation.all the elders in my congregation look like they go thru the motions.they are more like policy enforcers than teachers.. do you think that by excepting woman, some men would be embarassed to how little they know?

does the wts know some woman would better teachers?

is it more like a men's club?

Watchtower 2007 3/15 -- Is 1914 dropped?
by observer in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
watchtower 2007 3/15 is very unusual.

it is titled (when freely translated) "how coming of the christ affects you?".

in the first article there is not speaking about 1914 or invisible presence.

Mt 24:14 fulfilled - response from dubs and CO
by mavie in
1. jw
2. friends
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'.(!!
