  My Story

  2. experiences

  hello fellow forum members, i am very new here, and feel it is time to share a little about myself.

  this site has gotten me quite riled up again, and even after many years my experience is not memorable and still upsets me when i think of it.

  my beginning experience of joining the jw organization at age 6 was not unpleasant at all, and was not for many years.

  1914, Generation doctrine belief change!

  by Gill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had the dubious pleasure of explaining the 1914 generation change doctrine to a relative who has been a jw for all of his life the other day.

  he didn't even know that there had been a generation change and that the wt was no longer claiming that those alive in 1914 would still be alive when armageddon struck.. however, he said he would only believe me if i could tell him the exact date of the watchtower that explained this change.. though i know it is 1995, i do not know the exact date/issue and he refused to research it claiming it would show lack of faith on his part if he questioned his beliefs....but he said he would look it up if i told him which issue it was.. so, please, could anyone direct me to the exact issue in which this world shattering event was revealed?.

  i remember, many jws, especially elderly ones being shocked at this revelation, but obviously this particular relative was not concentrating at the time!!

  I Wouldn't Be Here Today If.........

  my dad had been a jehovah's witness.

  he was in his early twenties when after zooming along on his dirtbike and running a stop sign, he collided with a vehicle, went sailing through the air and received life threatening injuries.

  he was in rathdrum, idaho, and as far as i've heard it told, he stopped breathing for quite a long time.

  here is the best that i could do, but i think it gets the main points of the articles across.

  i wouldn't bet my life on this translation, but i think it is good enough for our purposes.

  in good ole england we have a traditonal breakfast; bacon and eggs.

  in several talks about "give more to the truth until you die etc" we were asked who gave more the pig or the chicken?.

  when you were in da truth did you give 100%.

  I had a super-natural experience

  by Blackboo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know some might not believe but i had this experience about 5 years ago.

  i was laying in the bed..and wide-awake..all of a sudden i literally saw a white-hand...that seem like a spirit..and it lifted me up in the air....and i actually felt my body coming back down to the bed..i was not dreaming at all..because i was aware of the things around the room..i wasnt scared but in awe of what happen.

  the hand was so real looking and i was staring at it..there was no face..it happen so fast..but i remember everything from the evil laugh afterwards too..that one blew me away.

  The sacrifice of Christ to redeem humankind, Why?

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the perfect man and woman, soon after being created, failed short of god's requirements and so sin was introduced into the world.

  according to the watchtower, god's law required a "life for a life" and so a perfect human needed to be sacrificed, i.e., killed, in order for humanity to be redeemed.. my simple question concerning this doctrine is....why?.

  how does the death of a human, perfect or otherwise, help matters?

  by vitty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you were still in the org, did you ever wonder what the apostates were saying?

  the society would just say lies and half truths.i always assumed it was about the trinity, and other religious stuff.

  i thought they were exjws who had become born agains !.
