  Bible story....Made up?

  by arker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when you think of a parent who has a misbehaved child.

  it is normal as they grow to feel they "know better than their parent.

  does a good parent continue to let the child make bad choices and say " since you think you know it all lets just let you continue and see who's right?".

  Help from elders?

  by arker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so as an elder, if you have left or are fading now, what specific things made you change your mind?

  is there some thing that most regular meeting goers would not be privy to that made you change?

  i know that you had your elder book, was there stuff in there that was out of line that made you stop and go "no way!"?.

  Meaning of prayer

  by arker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so when i was in and had to say the prayer for a meeting or at home in front of my family it always was a chore.

  i had to try and remember what other people said or how they phrased things so i could sound soooooo spiritual.

  you are always told to say a prayer like your face to face with god and it should be so heart felt but it was still me talking to myself with my eyes closed.

  sex during marriage

  by arker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1 cor.

  7 :38 "consequently he also that gives his virginity in marriage does well, but he that does not give it in marriage will do better.".

  does this mean no sex during marriage is the best route?.

  How to fluster a JW at your door

  by arker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my dad put up with a lot of crap from the jw's when my mom divorced him and took us kids away.

  so when he got the chance he would mess with them at the door.

  my favorite question he asked 2 sisters when they came.. "if the bible says a wife is to give her husband his due, then do you have relations with your husband because you love him or because the bible says to?".

  working for JW's

  by arker in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as a jw i mainly worked for brothers.

  a lot seem to be in the construction industry.

  probably because they are uneducated, because anyone who does work construction (like me) is stuck in it.

  Fading? What's up?

  by arker in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was a jw, finally saw my chance and wrote a letter to the elders saying how bad i am and how i don't want to meet to discuss it and to df me if you want.

  that was the end of it for me.

  my question is if you know you are "fading" you are already gone so why not make the leap?
