  investigations...not mentioned in bible..

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been investigated to death....and it just hit me that i dont think the word is even mentioned in the bible...jesus message was so much about love...yet jws seem to be more interested in investigating anything they deem as wrongdoing!

  where did this need for constant investigations come from when i dont really see it in the bible?....not that i believe a word of it anyway...but geeze how did they become a religion of detectives or keystone cops???

  ?...........oompa.

  Could use a little input on freedom of speech with JW relatives.

  by nicolaou in

  1. social
  2. family

  how do you deal with jw relatives who say; "can i just ask you one thing?".

  seems obvious that you'd willingly answer their question right?

  i mean, it's good that they're asking questions, maybe they're waking up and it might start them on their journey out of the wt.. but.. i've got one real hardcore jw sibling.

  Jehovah's Witnesses Take Pride In Being Ignorant

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses love to say they are in the best school available---the theocratic ministry school.

  witnesses don't want you to express research on a subject when giving a comment during a meeting.

  just read verbatim what is in the paragraph.

  i nearly died recently....damm i missed it by THAT much....as maxwell smart would say...thank god for blood transfusions i guess

  so my best friends are still mainly ex-jw's and an old school friend...and my dfd son and his friends...i mean i am a hell of a social person...but when you lose all your lifelong friends...it can be hard to replace them....actually that is impossible to do...you cant replace lifelong friends....however even if you cant...being true to yourself and being able to say exactly what you think and feel is a good thing too...freedom may have a high price...........oompa

  ...Weird Ass Lights in the Sky...

  by OUTLAW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  good evening jwn!!...

  as most of you know i live in a forest,in the mountains..at night there is very little light pollution... so the sky is one big theatre screen... i see shooting stars,northern lights,satellites,planes on a destination..it`s all very beautiful... tonight was different... .

  tonight there was something in the sky that defied anything i`ve ever seen... it had multiple aircraft lights but not like regular airplane lights..it wasn`t a helicopter... it could go straight up or down... move in one direction then head in another..it could do all kinds of weird stuff... sometimes it just hovered..then start doing all these weird maneuvers... regular aircraft is going somewhere,it`s headed in a direction..not this thing... i watched a regular airplane pass it... .

  what is the best way to disprove divinity of the bible???

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean screw proving that jws are not gods chosen people....i have beat my head bloody trying to prove that to wife, son, parent, friends....lol...which is why i do not have them anymore!

  funny how if you do that...they take pride in how much closer to jehober and his org they are!!!!!arrggggghhh!!!!.

  but if you can disprove the entire bible...and that is their basis for everything....well maybe that is the way to go..... unfortunately i cant get anyone to listen to me now for even 10 seconds!!!

  unfortunately i cant get anyone to listen to me now for even 10 seconds!!!!....so be careful....i saw a PBS show about the thousands of years of continuous ice core samples that have been collected and preserved which TOTALLY disproves the flood...but how do we disprove the entire pile of fiction????.........................i am no simpleton...but what do we use???.....logic? science?....reason does not seem to work dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!

  WTF about that JW fake bible where it says "let your reasonableness be known"??????........i like that actuallly.....live long and prosper!......oompa
