no a witness never told me that , its just one of the many doubts i have about being a jw , i simply meant when i posted this question that if we were to spend our time witnessing them why were we not given these gifts in the new world

? for you all
by MUNKAFATS inwe all have different talents etc and as ive never been a witness just read their books why is it that we have 3 kids and our youngest has a gifted mathmatical mind (teacher says hes in the top %2 of the population at 5 years old ) .
would the jw then say this is from satan ?
and if not then why could he not use it to his greater good , my question isnt about jw doctrine , i just think about this when jw come to visit me as its got to be from somewhere ??

ok but how would a gifted guitar player etc help in the org ? the way i see it is if we were to have these talents they would be in the "new world" so it made me doubt the org as we are given them now!!

dont even their lawyers have to have brains ? i didnt even know they needed lawyers until coming across sites like this , i feel that if we were to all serve in the jw then why were we given these talents at all!!!

Witness "Terminology"
by Rubens ini find it interesting reading posts from ex-witnesses or those that are slipping away and yet the terminology is still brain-washed into us.
i mean, i've managed to stop using the terms myself.
sometimes i might catch myself using the term "the truth" or "brother" or "sister", but i quickly correct myself.. the fact is for me, as much as i agree with a lot of their values and beliefs, those people were not my "brothers and sisters" nor was the organization "the truth".

im not an ex jw or a current one , was an 'interested one" (theres that terminology) until i googled jw and found sites like this , anyway ive never been comfortable with calling people sister , brother etc, it just felt like brainwashing to me , when my jw friend visited i felt like saying cant you just call her or him by their given names
