The majority of the jws I knew as a teenager left when they became of age, and never came back. That was over 40 years ago Maybe it's just a long, long road back.

Did God really warn mankind before the Flood of Noah?
by moshe injw's think they are doing a work just like noah did before the flood.
they say that noah's witness lasted for 40 years.
other than a few traders who moved around, i doubt that most tribal people would be able to safely travel to see noah's work in progress.

Noah might have been a preacher of rightiousness, but he wasn't given the job to preach to the people, he was only told to build a boat. Jesus told the apostles to go and preach the good news to all the earth, but they went with the holy spirit. They performed miracles, and they did cover the earth that the bible deals with, not the entire world. The society takes all this information out of context and applies it to themselves today.

I read somewhere that the 32 pages have something to do with booking. Each little section sewed together in their books I think is 32. Someone who is the know may know for sure.

I was a teenager at a circuit assembly. I was talking to friends. All of a sudden we heard a horrendous noise, and chairs started flying into the air all over the place back and forth and what ever it was, was throwing the chairs and other items into the air and was coming across the auditorium towards us. Needless to say we were getting extremely concerned. One girl was getting hysterical so I picked up and put her on a table. Finally the commotion quit. It turned out to be somebody had knocked a fire extinguisher off the wall and broke off the nozzle turning it into a runaway rocket. The place was mess , but they hurriedly cleaned everything up and went on with the show.
One of my favorites was again as a teenager, we were out in service on the navaho reservation. A sister took her new car, bad idea. She knew nothing about country living. She started to drive up to a house that had sheep and goats, literally. Back in this country you do not drive directly up to the house for it was considered inconsiderate and stupid. We tried to tell her not to do it because of the goats but she just ignored us. You see goats love to walk all over things, in particular cars, and we knew that. Poor woman learned the hard way. It was not a pretty sight.

Stupid Knorr! Should Witnesses have Sunday school just for kids?
by Witness 007 inimagine sitting thru the watchtower study on a sunday with your 6 year old and 9 year old kids....the topic "fornication" the discussion explains how oral sex and touching of genitals is still fornication...why do kids have to sit thru this??
or the bible reading is about lot having sex with his daughters....this type of thing is not for kids!
and why should kids be forced to sit quietly while someone drones on for 2 hours?.

I have always thought they should have a sunday school or whatever. In sunday school they make learning the bible fun. Sitting in the meetings, the kids only learn to hate the whole arrangement. I know that I would have much rather been in the sunday school, and I hated school.

by Witness 007 inin sydney in the late 80's a bomb blew up the kingdom hall killing one man and injuring many.
the hall was badly destroyed.
later stories spread about how jehovah "saved" the congregation.. 1. the brother who died was large and sat in front saving many lives by taking the full impact.

The jws that were saved were rightious, and jehovah saves the rightious . The rest of the jws were just _____ out of luck.

Is the Watchtower really wrong according to your standards?
by hamilcarr in'we all have a priori knowledge, so we can't claim objective knowledge.
by the way, our senses only observe part of reality.
then, how do you dare asserting that you're right?

My standard is , practice what you preach. The society say they go strictly by the bible, which they do not, this makes them a liar, and a hypocrite.

When lying isn't lying JW style
by bronzefist ini know this is an old topic, but there are many new ones onboard so here goes..... i went to the book study (it's been more than a year since i last had the pleasure)... revelation book chapter 39 paragraphs 1-13. when paragraph 13 finally comes around...... 13 does this mean that jehovahs witnesses are against all government?
they obey the apostle pauls counsel: "let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities.
" they realize that as long as the present system lasts, those "superior authorities" exist by gods permission for maintaining a measure of order in human society.
