  Did Any Of You Ever Believe In The Explanations Of JW Prophecy?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a born and raised jw, i was taught that not only did we have the truth but we also had the keys to understanding of bible prophecy.

  i was able to explain the gentile times timetable, the reason for 1914,etc.

  but there came a time when i really came to appreciate that i had no real foundation for these "truths".

  2. friends

  i have been thinking of doing something i have wanted to for along time, just to see, that is go to a church.

  i guess i am a little afraid , or nervous , more than anything, but i feel i ready to venture out there and see what it is about,,,,,,,,,,,lol, i might not stay , i just want to try it.. i just want to give it a chance and right now i have no reason why i shouldnt if i go in with my eyes open.

  i dont know what religion to start with,,,,,,,,, i figure this may be a journey on finding what feels right to me, or it could end up i stay home and do my own worship , who knows.. i know there are many christains on this board and i would be interested in hearing why you choose the faith you did, if it is methodist, catholic, baptist, or other mainstream ones.. i am also interested in other forms of religion some have choosen, and why?

  Reconciling with Dad

  by jws in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as you may or may not know from previous posts, i am a born & raised jw who just drifted away (no df/da) from a father and two sisters who still keep the jw faith.

  and while my father is aware that i have "apostate" beliefs of some kind, he prefers not to hear of it.

  as a result, we still enjoy each other's company and nobody has "shunned" me.

  DID CLARA GET JUSTICE?

  by MYOHNSEPH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a dentist from houston, clara harris, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to twenty years yesterday, for running over her husband with her mercedes and killing him, in a fit of rage, after confronting him and his girlfriend in a local hotel.

  now mrs. harris already knew about her husband's infidelity with the other woman, had even discussed with her husband how the two of them compared, and was apparently still trying to salvage their marriage.

  but after the confrontation inside the hotel, she lost it and ultimately ran him over multiple times with her automobile, killing him.

  What Was The 1st Thing That Made You Question?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a youngster raised in the "truth", i had my questions.

  but anytime you ask a question that is unanswerable, you are told to just wait on jehovah.

  as time passes, i believe that we store up a number of unanswerable questions that forces one to eventually think about everything.

  Post by Ray Franz

  by Amazing in

  ray franz requested that i post the following comments written by him:

  as has been stated already, the presentation made from the silent lambs source in connection with the child abuse issue completely misrepresents my position.

  when i spoke by phone recently with the author of that presentation, and pointed out that i had never expressed the views presented, his comment was that from his previous conversation with me (held some months earlier) he "got the impression that i was not on the same wave length" with him.

  Passive Resistence ... 10 Step Program

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  legalism: over the last few years ex-jws have discussed much about how to deal with the jws legally, to stop slander, harassment, etc.

  ... and then somehow try to avoid being da'd or df'd.

  this can work, but it take some preplanning and careful strategy to implement ... and in the end, the ex-jw often still gets shunned.
