  Things You HATED About Being a JW

  by minimus in

  there were a few things that i hated about being a witness.. i love music and live concerts.

  quite often i'd have to play my music privately or hide an album cover for fear it might "stumble" someone.

  i hated worrying whether someone was going to somehow get "stumbled.. regarding going to concerts, it seemed that certain artists only came to town on a meeting night and i'd miss the shows.. what did you hate about being a jehovah's witness?.

  My gift is that although I don't take very good care of myself, I don't seem to get sick much, except for allergies. Of course, being a social phobe might help me stay away from a lot of germs, but I do a lot of cleaning for others, so have plenty of exposure to germs, I'm afraid. I think I have a slight immunity to spider bites, but am allergic to mosquitoes! How strange.

  if there is a god, do you think that the majority of jw's will be saved at armageddon?.

  i'm not asking if they have the only true religion, i'm asking if you think they would be saved along with others who do god's will sufficiently to satisfy him.....

  Armageddon? Saved?

  Only the richest of the rich with deep underground bunkers and enormous food supplies will be "saved."

  It won't be a matter of god's will, but of human survival techniques.

  It won't have anything to do with god or religion. which is all hogwash anyway.

  there were gasps after watching this.

  i heard the anti college talks at the dc this year, and while many people i know didnt agree with them, this following video stunned many of them.

  there are many people on this forum, many have gotten to where they are many different ways.

  Bb - There is a book you might find at your local library entitled, Intelligent Thought, edited by an eminent scientist and writer, named John Brockman. Read it. It may answer quite a few of your questions. It is very well-written, easy reading for people who are not scientists, but who ask the same questions you've asked, and would like a scientific perspective from more than one source. It contains a number of essays by many eminent scientists who are experts at the subjects you seem interested in.
