im very sad. every jw i talked to about this QFR says "i can find no real change there" or those who know my slightly critical attitude get angry when i ask them whether they read it already (weired... its no apostate literature, its just the latest spiritual food! lol). its working again. we reinvent the truth and noone notices and his happy about the "better explanation". all other presumptions about that topic came just from the inability of the average witness. the society knew it best since all eternity and only printed a better explanation now. lol.

WT Approved Grounds For Divorce
by IsaacJS2 ini was hoping to confirm something for an article i'm working on.
i was told that the only acceptable grounds for divorce are adultery and a husband failing to support his wife financially.
i don't believe apostasy counts, does it?

Why is Jehovah's Witness considered the measuring stick?
by avidbiblereader inwhen we discuss scriptural teachings, christian conduct, morals, ect... why is jehovah's witnesses considered the measuring stick or the bar to beat or meet?.
why not the bible, why not another religion?
why is jehovah and christ looked at through the witnesses eyes or perceived representation?.
-
-
Marcel
i do that because i know nothing else. i know the jehovahs witnesses - everything else is far away.
i cant measure on someone i do not know. as long as i measure at all.
why do all americans measure in inches and foot? because they dont know much about meters =D -

signs
by BR25 init would be alot easier if they had symbols on here for everyone below their names.
i dont know if they do or not.. i try to back the jws, but i dont know if i am talking to athiests, other christians, disfellowshiped ones, or people who just left the truth.
it would be nice to know sometimes.. you might ask why i would wanna know because i should answer everyone the same way, but on here you cant.

i dont think labels would be a good idea. on first sight maybe, but not really. some people would rule out arguments just because of a sign. cant be good. that "all you say is wrong because youve got that label on your forehead" is jw thinking but serves not a purpose in the search of truth.

for me talking about the signs of the time is no fun. its because the average witness would never realize that in any century and in any time the people would have felt alike. russel thought the 19th century is worse and noone could ever reason about it that its not the last times. in the middleage the people feared the end of the world. as a fact the todays western population is in (relative) health, peace and unity. we have food, we have water, we have peace, no cold war. of course if you lived in the middle east you may feel otherwise. but this was the case in all centuries. the *only* thing that changed is the technology. we have greater weapons, higher lifestyle, better communications and so on. but essentially we could be as dumb as in the 19th century russel was. the REAL last days may occur in a 1000 years when humans nearly destroy earth in a battle between mars and earth and the big railgun =D j/k i guess you know what i mean. there isnt a sign which is so clearly that you cant debate on it. its always in the eye of the watcher. and of course there is no increase in earthquakes. i guess that rules everything else out. marc

Hi!
ive been attended (i do not know the english word for it) the last smaller-than-district-two-days-congress and their was a "joke" from the overseer in a talk i got sick of.
he talked about guys he has talked to in fieldservice (but i guess its completely made up). he asked them what their god is.
the first guy showed him his house and the second his harley davidson.
he continued by saying that these gods will lead to death in armageddon and how dumb it is to refuse the JW god.
and then he made a joke.
the harley-davidson guy will get killed in armageddon, but his harley davidson will survive HAHAHAHAHAHA
the whole crowd died of laugther.
for myself i thought: what will god and jesus think of this? god said he feels pain for any human regardless how wrong he is. and this overseer LAUGHS about the death of one of gods children. its not that they admit it and say its righteous. THEY LAUGH!
when will they stop? when his (the harley man) 4 year old kid who never had the chance to understand the bible inflames to a living torch? or do they laugh because his toys will get into the new system?
i remember myself laughing about such inhuman bullshit when i was younger. and i know many witnesses telling similar jokes.
its a spit in gods face to laugh about such things. and jws are the guys who avoid blood for false reasons because they want to honor the gift of life. its all about death, death, death. nothing more.
im sick of it.

Was this an "experience" or an urban legend?
by Gopher ini remember this story being told in the 1970's, back when nathan homer snore knorr was the wts president.
this story was probably told at the hall, or perhaps at a jw gathering.
that part is a little fuzzy, but the details of this story remain clear.. two "brothers" were preaching door to door in new york city.

ive heard that one too. not long time ago ... ~1995 or something. but i do not remember which president it was for me.
i only remember the whole hall in loud laughter.
