  Is this a forum for JW issues or a poorly designed political and celebrity site?

  by Band on the Run in

  it appears to me that even in the few months that i have been here there is less and less emphasis on jehovah's witnesses and anything remotely related to jws and more very poor posts about politics, foreign affairs and celebrities.

  i can't omit the juvenile sex ones, which i find lacking in erotic nature.

  it seems the 6th grade boys are meeting in the locker room.. the posts that involve jws have a very different tone from the drivel posted on others.

  The way I look at a forum is that it's like a giant cocktail party and everyone is there because they have something in common so as you walk around the room listening to different conversations and you find one interesting you can stay and add your thoughts. If someone is boring you can just walk away and find another conversation going on and if you find no interesting conversations going on you can just leave. Or you can just stand around and complain about all the conversations that are going on and if someone wants to join you they can.

  last night, i watched an r rated movie that featured violence.

  at least 30 people were shot in the first 45 min of the movie.. while i was in and an elder, i watched r rated movies all the time just didn't talk about it.

  so how many of you watched r rated movies even though "mother" said not to?.

  What percentage of the R&F watch anything they want to despite what the GB says in there literature?

  This Years Memeorial and MY heartbreak

  so...this years memorial came and went.. on saturday my mom called to invite my wife, myself and my two little girls to the memorial on sunday, i said thank you but said that we won't be going.. on sunday my older sister called inviting us also.. we didn't go, since my eldest daughter asked about it, i explaine dit to her and asked my wife and her if they wanted to do it at home and they said yes.. so after dinner, we all partook of our lord's sacrifice and i explained to my daughters how the taking in of christ's body and blood is symbolic for become one with christ and god.. we always remember christ and his sacrifice and last meal whenever we eat and "say grace" but, becuase of the whoel memorial meal thing, we decided to do a little more.. i read from luke and john.. it was very nice, very special.. then this morning at 8:30 am my mom calls and reams me for 40 min over the phone.. why anyone would think that i or anyone else would want to be a part of an organization that fills people with som much venom and spit, is beyond me.. she basically said that she gives up on me, that i am taken by satan, that satan is working through me and leading me and tha her heart is borken for my little girls.. my mother.... my heart is broken, there is a pain in my gut....

  July 15th WT out - Coming out Swinging at Apostates Hard

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is one of the most aggressive watchtowers i think i have ever read.. four study articles on not "following the crowd" not following unrealities(page 13) not following false teachers, meaning apostates of course(p 15).

  avoiding false teachers means "refusing to read their literature, watch tv programs that feature them, examine their web sites, or add comments to their blogs.

  (para 7, pg 16).

  I agree with flipper, they are losing their hold on the R&F. The religion is now an old peoples religion. The young are too tech savvy to let some old men who have their heads up their asses tell them what's right and what's wrong.

  The GB is on the mat and the countdown is on. The religion may last a while longer but they are going to have to continue downsizing.

  Great thread

  Many of the R&F are still in the tower but mother isn't fooling as many anymore.

  Could the Watchtower organization be underestimating the over all intelligence of their rank and file members?

  18 years after waco, davidians believe koresh was god.

  .. david koresh told his followers years before the men in uniforms arrived that a great apocalyptic battle with babylon was coming and there would be destruction and fire and deaths.. .

  so, martin says, david was right.

  So where in the Bible did Koresh get the scriptures that said it was all right to have sex with young girls?

  The tattooing job would definitely be an issue. But I think the only thing the elders could do is try to discourage you from keeping the job. They may point to the scriptures about bad association and try to tell you that if you actively server Jehovah (the Watchtower) a better more honest job will come along. Whatever they do won't be pleasant for you so as all others have said, stay away from them.

  The big bad "worldly" person

  by roxanesophia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  considering this looks to be mostly a ex-jw site, you're probably thinking "coming into it?

  run.

  " but i have friends in it who have persuaded me to have a bible study and attend meetings, and well, hey... it isn't doing me much harm.

  I think this illustration best shows why this phenomena of dealing with people coming "out of the world" exists.

  "If you were a family man and you had a house full of kids would you take in another child without first making sure they had their lives cleaned up so they wouldn't influence you other children?"

  When I was in, I heard this illustration numerous times and probably used it a few times myself.
