  Does paradise still seem attractive to you?

  by Hiddenwindow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you think paradise, as depicted by the watchtower, an everlasting life praising jehovah and playing with what we now know as wild animals, not to mention cultivating a piece of land, is really a desirable place?

  bear in mind that there is no reference to science and that personal goals are non-existent..

  No, not the Watchtower version.

  But there are Scriptures in the Bible that talk about Paradise or Heaven.

  That sounds good to me.

  I doubt if there will be any JWs there though.

  if the police say such and such a thing, do you tend to automatically believe it?

  Finally-Free,

  I agree. They will promise ANYTHING to get information and then tell the crooks where they got it.

  Dangerous and stupid to share info with them.

  i only recently joined facebook (yes, a little late to the party).

  and today i found one person there that i still consider somewhat of a friend, that i know is disfellowshipped.

  I am happy for you and intrigued at the same time.

  How do you "do" facebook? Do you use your real name or a fake one.
  Did you look for these people by name or can you search for Jehovah's Witnesses or Xs or what?
  Just wondering about how it works. I am such a newb at these things.

  Thanks, sacrebleu

  In a word, NO.

  I live in Missouri and several times there have been instances of men imposters dressed like cops, stopping women and raping them.

  As for real cops, there are two reasons a person becomes a cop.

  #1 the genuine wish to help people

  #2 the genuine wish to bully people and push them around.

  And then there are the ones who start out as #1s and turn into #2s.

  Political leanings of most JWs

  by B_Deserter in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  despite the fact that witnesses claim to be politically neutral, i've seen a lot of political opinion being spread around by the r-n-f. it's all been pretty much anti-bush sentiment.

  how have your experiences been?

  When we were JWs, my mom landed in the emergency room after a bad fall. They were asking questions to determine her physical well being.

  They asked her who the president was. She was a single mom with six kids and worked six and seven days a week. Even before she was a JW and after she never paid attention to politics.

  So she said, "Ask me something I care about."

  They Infiltrate Every Aspect of Ones' Life

  by LouBelle in

  2. friends

  after being out of that faith for about 2 years now, i look back and can't believe how they controlled so many aspects of my life.. we let them in and like a deadly disease they just spread and take over.. what we could and couldn't believe, who we could and couldn't associate with, not allowed to play sports, watch what close you were, don't make friends with that one, do this, don't do that, read this, answer this way, sell that mag, contribute to our fund, contribute to the magazines, contribute to building, give us your precious time and you get zippo for it.. and we let them!!!!.

  man i'm so happy i'm out - not a day goes by that i don't celebrate my new life, my new friends, my new interests..

  viva!

  I go to church most Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights.

  BUT if I decide to be lazy or do something else, I KNOW that the people genuinely miss me and I will not be lectured.

  It is great.
