  What COULDN'T You Do Because You Were A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  a witness cannot question anything from a critic's point of view.

  wondering aloud why the watchtower says a certain thing can get you in trouble with the think police (the elders).

  what things can you think of that are taboo for jws??

  it happens every summer.

  the family will be in a nice routine, going out a reasonable amount in service and having normal life.

  then there is an a$$embly, and then everything locks down.

  comparing WTS with Pharisees

  by erandir in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had a good discussion saturday night with my witness wife about how the society is basically a modern-day version of the pharisees and how jesus condemned them in his day and how he would condemn the society today.

  does anyone have any good points or any insight into comparing the society with pharisees?

  anything you have would be helpful so i could get my thoughts together and figure out a way to approach this subject with her in the future whenever it comes up..

  yesterday, thursday, july 26, 2007, a conversation with a street witnessor (isn't that what you would call someone involved in street witnessing?

  ) got joined by a walk-up elder turned into a great opportunity to witness to several bystanders (who even joined in the conversation).. i began by declining to accept the offer from the elderly woman who held up a "what does god require of us?

  i said, "but, verne, you aren't going to the bible.

  What sends you over the edge?

  by restrangled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was a recent thread on spelling, sentence structure, etc., that was legitimate, but probably made other's feel stupid.. my question is, what is your personal pet peeve?.

  i've got a problem with poor construction inside my home...i hate the trim work, some cut too short so it looks like mouse holes over the floor.

  i had my kitchen redone and the layout was so unusual that i can't open a fridge door unless i pull it forward or push it back to open a drawer.

  Have you ever faked a service report?

  2. beliefs

  it's only my third day here so, go easy on me.

  lol.. seriously, my new doubts have made it harder and harder to go in service.

  a few months ago, when a new month rolled around, i realized that i hadn't actually gone in service at all the previous month.
