  How many of you are still affected by "Armageddon?"

  by Soledad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know i am, or at least now i'm finally willing to admit it.

  when making future plans, i still have "jehovah's day" in the back of my mind.

  i never caught myself doing that until fairly recently, and i just realized that it was holding me back in many ways.

  APOSTASCOTLAND

  by Dansk in

  2. friends

  would someone seriously consider arranging for an apostafest up in scotland next year?

  i know i'm asking this early but i feel it would be good to put the feelers out now.. obviously, it would have to be a location easy to get to - so that means stornoway is out!

  sorry, ross & xena.

  Why am I still fearful?!

  by Maddie in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i've really been trying to put it out of my mind because i don't want to have these fears, but they wont go away!!.

  i really thought that my mind was free from the mind control of the borg but i don't think it can be completely.

  ever since reading the postings about all the changes they are going to make i feel panicky and i think it is because they can still get to me.. i don't want to feel like this and i am fighting against it but i am finding it is getting to me.. does anyone else on jwd have any of these fears still?.

  YouTube video: On Shunning

  by seattleniceguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm starting to get the hang of this video thing.

  i'm really happy with this video on the practice of shunning, as experienced by me on both sides of the fence.

  i'm not angry - i'm just letting the facts be known.

  Have you ever had a prayer answered?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  prayer topics seem to be the bandwagon of the moment so i'm jumping on!

  seriously, has anyone here asked for something specific in prayer and actually gotten what they asked for?

  what convinces you that you wouldn't have got it in any case?

  Look for internet bashing at district assemblies.

  by spectromize in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have no doubt in my mind that the society will bash the internet with a part at the district assemblies.

  the reason i say this is because if you look at the worldwide reports there has been a decline in publishers in the more industrialized countries who have access to the internet.. some of the brothers and sisters are finding out the contradictions that we hold in regards to some of our teachings and the constant change of views on issues of voting, blood, donations, new light ect.... for example do any of you know that in bulgaria you will not be disfellowshipped if you take a blood transfusion.

  yes that's right, you will not be disfellowshipped because the society signed a document with the european commission promising not to take sanctions against any of it's members if they choose to take blood, in exchange for legal status in that country.
