How long before you tell people you were once a Jehovah's Witness?

most of the people i've met since i left don't know that i spent years of my life as a door knocker.. i have very dear friends who don't know.

i've even had lovers who didn't know.

my last partner knew, and found it vaguely amusing.. i guess i find it deeply embarrassing, although over the years it's become easier to mention it.

sanctity of life
by lovelylissa in
1. watchtower
2. bible
it just occurred to me that they say non-witness kids are going to die at armageddon, but abortion is wrong because jah knows us before we are born.

isn't this contradicting itself on the sanctity of life and how jah views us as individual and precious right from the beginning?

who is the antichrist?

the antichrist is a liar and a deceiver, bent on destroying a persons relationship with christ and with god.

john 2:22 - who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that jesus is the christ?

1 Thess 5:3 - What do you think....
by The Scotsman in
1. jw
2. friends
1 thessalonians 5:3 says this - "whenever it is that they are saying: peace and security!

then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them just as the pang of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will by no means escape.

" nwt... jehovahs witnesses believe this is refering to our time with a final fulfillment imminent which of course triggers total destruction for nearly everyone and everything.
