  Altering reality where do you stand......

  by fifi40 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to fill you in and explain my post....... i was raised as a jw but left (not baptised) at 16. i started studying again at 24ish and was quickly baptised and got disfellowshipped aged about 32ish.

  whilst i was active as a jw i socialised plenty, but it did not involve copious amounts of drink or drugs.

  during my times out i have very very occasionally smoked a little dope and have been drunk more often but by no means frequently.

  Holidays

  by BR25 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a former jw, but i still believe what they do about the holidays?

  i have already talked about origins and all that stuff so i wanted to ask something without bringing up scriptual or historical backgrounds for a change.. my question is (whatever your beliefs may be) what % of people who celebrate christmas, if you took the presents out of christmas would still acknowledge christmas as much as they do now?

  note: as much.

  Our Neighbours are learning!

  we live in a block of 6 flats, with communal security doors at the front and back.

  apart from between 7am and 10am every day, when the trades entrance button will open the front security door, no one can get in here unless they have a fob to open the security doors with, or unless one of the residents lets them in.. the jws were just at the front security door, obviously getting their hour in after the morning meeting.

  they don't ring our bell, they know better, so they were ringing the other bells.

  2. beliefs

  i am highly considering becoming a jehovah's witness.

  i have been raised in the congregration, but left it when i was a child because my mom left too, but we still retatined the core belifs including the ressurection and the blasphemous pagan influence on mainstream churches.

  my mom has recently returned to the congregation, and it has helped her a lot.

  why a paradise earth is so appealing to jws?.

  well no one can say they look around at the problems today and can say they like everything they see.

  so a nice clean paradise world would be pretty great.

  "Watchtower" is a term from witchcraft NOT Scripture

  by FuzzyPaul in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  has anyone else ever noticed that there is no watchtower in scripture as part of any particular teaching but there is prominent use of watchtower in dungeons and dragons type games and forms of witchcraft including spells involving watchtower?

  see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/watchtower_%28magic%29.

  and msn search for watchtower alone & with magic spell or occult or witchcraft.. ct russell was a 33rd degree freemason ( illuminati) nutcase who read books by guys that measured the lengths of the halls in pyramids to foretell the future by.

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i'm new to the forum (in fact, i just joined about 10 minutes before starting this post), and am a new jw (i began learning and attending meetings since about november of '06).

  i have a question involving my girlfriend and i, and i'm hoping to find a moral answer.

  my girlfriend and i fell in love two summers ago, and we're still pretty young (we're turning 17 this year).
