  Are you a person who TRIES NEW THINGS?

  by Terry in

  1. social
  2. humour

  so-called type a personalities are risk-takers...or so we are told.. i don't know about that.. i know that people aren't easily categorized into neat little folders of behavior.. .

  i know that some of us are very very reluctant to try new things while others have a sense of adventure.. .

  are you a person who tries new things?.

  Can longtime posters on JWN be elitist? Kind of like elders in the hall?

  just wondering.

  i feel a little smugness from long time posters.

  i got out as a kid 20 years ago and since i am a newbie here it feels like we are shown a little less respect.

  I'd respond, but you haven't been here long enough for me to bother.

  Girls are unpredictable, materialist, and use us, men, as a toy.

  well, it seems like i am going to ruin the domination of raypublishers' topic at this section of the board.

  :d. now back to the topic.

  the last month i was trying to get "closer" to my classmates and to the others from my highschool.

  Perhaps "put a sock on it"? On second thought that's not much better either.

  Not to anyone who's seen American Pie.

  Communications during Armageddon

  by bruh in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this past wt study on the things that marks the end of the world---made me think in terms of armageddon and what the faithful slave would do if they couldnt communicate with thousands of congregations since the wicked/satans world runs the the modes/network of communications.

  i may not have all the facts as to the infastructure of the worlds communications but one things for sure---with the wicked destroyed at armageddon how does the society oh organization plan to communicate with the rank and file???

  wicked gone means that possibly the internet will not be working, post office will be down, mobile carriers/towers will be out of commission maybe, tv stations will be out of commission.

  About what one thing do you find yourself being a real SNOB?

  you know, to fit in....to be a part of our own family or group and not be a total nerd or contrarian.. we hold our tongue.

  we smile and nod.. but, then....there is at least one thing we just can't go along with because it is too important.. why?

  because we are a total snob.

  Movies, and entertainment in general. It's one thing to have bad taste in movies. It's quite another to recommend that I waste my time and/or money watching them. I work with a guy who keeps telling me I need to see the movie Zookeeper, with Kevin James. This person is also a big Steven Segal fan. How do I respect such a person?

  Why are atheists so intent on scorning "believers"?

  by Chariklo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  until recently, i had never encountered this word "believers" used as it is being used on this board, to describe pejoratively a group of people.

  it's not clear to me whether they scorn all who have a faith of some sort.

  do they include buddhists, hindus, followers of the baha'i faith, followers of the cargo cult, native americans along with christians, or is it just christians who are honoured with this epithet?.

  What is the fallacy? Making it sound ridiculous to believe in invisible, undetectable, unpredictable creatures isn't a fallacy. They are the exact same thing.

  Precisely. Just because there isn't an ancient book written about something, doesn't make believing in it any less ridiculous. The exact same amount of people have seen god, that have seen a fairy or a unicorn.

  what are the JW rules once baptised??

  by Kate82 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on my other post 'thinking of becoming a jw' people mentioned that once i was baptised i would be told / given rules of what i can / cant do, things like: how i act, dress, how i can have sex with my husband??

  what i can and cant eat ( according to some research ive done).

  i would be really interested to hear as many of these rules now - as i think its too late after one is baptised.. i would be grateful of as many as possible about anything any topic even thouse i havent mentioned.. thanks x.

  It isn't just universal JW rules you will have to worry about. You'll find that individual elders may have their own personal rules that they expect the flock to follow. They love to use the phrase 'stumbling others' to justify trying to enforce rules that don't really have any scriptural backing. They will often not tell you outright not to do something, but instead will guilt you into deciding on your own to not do it, simply because they personally don't agree with it.

  anyone else have talents they enjoy for their own entertainment?

  I've been known to imitate Milton from Office Space, at work. It's only funny to those who have seen the movie. Everyone else thinks it's weird.

  "Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler"

  "Ok, I'll set the building on fire"

  Please dont accuse me of things im not, its hard enough dealing with depression without being "bullied" by strangers :(

  Try not to take it personally. You have to understand the dynamic of this forum. It's filled with people who were lied to for many years by people they trusted. Now their BS detectors are working overtime. And some get a little overzealous in calling out every newbie as a troll, even those sincerely looking for answers.

  All things given to us

  by FutureAndAHope in

  2pe 1:3 "his divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the full knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence".. it is my concern having read some post here that too much faith is put in the groverning body of the jehovahs witnesses.

  the bible says that a believer has everything needed for life and godliness, through the direct revelation of god.

  people don't need too have people to govern their lives, as god is the one who governs.. mans opinions are not always correct, only god is a refuge.

  It's my concern, having read your posts, that you are here looking for vulnerable lost souls to exploit.
