Morgana....Thank you for the Km material. As I have not been to the kh in 4 years I didn't see this. I do appreciate your efforts in showing us how so BAD we are for wanting to learn more, LMAO. Good Job

hi.
does anyone know if there is a single place that list all the current beliefs and teachings of the jw's.
i like to have something i can compare history with to have something to fall back on to show people changes in the belief that they are being taught.

you know that the wts teaches you're supposed to love jehovah above all else including your kids/spouses/parents.

.did any of you get to that point?
I tried at first to have a relatioship with him, like they asked you to. However, I found it hard to do that because I didn't feel the reciprical response to my overtures. I didn't feel the connection, like I had the phone in my hand and was talking into the mouth piece and I wasn't hearing anything at the other end of the line. After awhile I realized that there was no one there.
The org would tell you that your prayers are answered as long as they are in line with kingdom interests. Well, they were, i was doing everything that I felt was required of me by god and I recieved nothing in return. Hence, no ANSWER.....no GOD. Prove me wrong.

Hey MOMZ! It appears as though you may have the same brick on your home as I... Just an observation. Our plants and flowers aren't quite in bloom yet here.
NMG
this is my style, this is how i live my life, i am an observer...i always have been.
i was the one in the kh that could sit back and watch as an event was transpiring.
i have always had a knack for being in tune when something was amiss with an individual.

I always knew if the bell didn't RING quite right, you understand where I am? If things aren't right, I just know it. I was always proved right by these feelings. And so it goes here on JWD . However, I WILL NOT jump to a conclusion without getting all the facts and feelings for a matter, first.
But, this is not what I wish to address here. I am looking at all of the new folks that are entering our realm, eyes wide open in amazement and disbelief that their entire belief system is callapsing before their eyes. It's pretty much the way that most of these folks felt when they first became JW's, if they weren't born into it.
They are naive, scared, uncertain but most of all they are in need of a NEW support group. They are about to dismiss everything they have ever learned as TRUTH for something that has a certain RING to it. The bells are going off in their head and at times it sounds like one giant CRESCENDO !!
I have been very impressed by the warmth with which we have all welcomed these folks. I know, i had a thread similar to this a while ago, but there are so many new people coming on JWD lately that I just felt the need to reiterate the thought.
I didn't mean to ramble, but as usual I always tend to speak from the heart.
Take care friends.

...i hope you're practicing your best surprised face for sunday.
Well, I haven't been to a hall in almost 4 years now but I did tell my 34 year old jw son yesterday about the upcoming change.He had no clue there was even a hint of one. He has 2 BIL that are elders. Wait and see I guess.
Oh, and I WON"T be there this sunday either, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
NMG
WELCOME MRS. LINK!!! Oh , and HEY! WE are your NEW congregation! OOPS...Did I say that? Sorry, we are much more sincere than those old folks you thought that you KNEW....We're just a bunch of folks that like our new found freedom of speech and thought processes that have cleared up. take care .
NMG
i'm a jw in good standing.i was born a jw.my dad was an elder for about 15 years but he stoped going to the hall about 3 years ago.but i have doubts about the org.basically i don't think that we are living in the end,i don't think the earth will ever be a paradise.it really don't seem logical to me.anyway i feel like i'm having an inner fight between what i was raised to be and what i now believe.the only reason why i still go to the meeting is because of my mom and husband.i came here because i think that everyone here can help me.
insearchof......WELCOME..........You are in great hands here my dear. Hold on to your seat you are in for a hell of a ride. Don't let what you are about to learn shake you too much. It's all about the truth about the TROOF!!
