Some questions that I didnt find the answer as a JW Part 1
by tooktheredpill in
1. watchtower
2. bible
having been raised in the truth, i thought that i had all the answers in the watchtower publications.

but as i started really reading the bible without filters, a lot of stuff started to appear that made no sense to me.

1) genesis 2:2: and by the seventh day god came to the completion of his work that he had made, and he proceeded to rest on the seventh day from all his work that he had made.. .

Accepting my own mortality

i dont know about you, but this is one of the most difficult issues of being a jw (at least for me).

as we were living on a spiritual paradise (totally unreal), we used to believe everything the gb said without questions.

i was not going to get old, or go to high school, or go to college or get married and the "big a" was going to finish the "wicked system" ... and them we were going to have a paradise earth forever.... .

hi guys!.

as many of you know, i'm still inside the borg, but my mind is completely disconnected.

i had a chat with some friends during the week, and they started sharing experiences they had, dealing with demons in the past.. i heard some stories from brothers from cuba, that used to be mediums or "saints", and how the demons "immediately started to attack them when they started learning the truth(tm)".

Elders: Help for research about Reporting Child Molestation
by tooktheredpill in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
if any of the people reading this is an elder too, please help me to do some research.. the only letter that i've found to all the bodies of elders about this matter is dated feb 15, 2002. in page 4, it has a section titled "reminders regarding the handling of cases involving child abuse".

it says mostly to "call the legal department for assistance".

it says that child abuse is a crime, but it doesn't specify that the authorities should be called.

a couple of days ago, i posted a comment for a newbie like me (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/145459/2623555/post.ashx#2623555), and i told him this:.

i try to focus in the few positive aspects of being a jw, and how that can help me to improve myself.

i like to help people too, and that is something that i really enjoy.
