  Do JW's (and uppity-christians in general) walk around with a false sense of accomplishment?

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this because so many times when i was growing up, i was told that a certain sister or brother wasnt spirtually enough because of this or that.

  i wanted to ask the person who said this: what makes you so spiritual, especially since you do the same thing that the so called unspirtually person does.

  except you do it behind closed doors..

  No, JW's are the most humble people on the planet... just ask them!

  ITS JUST A POPSICLE!

  i remember something that happened to me a few years ago that reminded me of the programmed witnessing of a jw.

  i was out with a friend (a jw) going for a drive and he brings us to a home to meet a guy that was an amway salesman and my friend had been encouraging me to get involved with amway.

  " there was no way i was going to sell toothpaste" i told him.

  buying time--you've nothing to lose.

  to all members who still associate with the jw's, please consider this:.

  if you're "in" because you fear you might lose spouse/family /friends--why not put it to the test.. just leave.. no need to resign: just stop all association--dont accept any literature/offers of help/shepherding/whatever.. what is likely to happen---will your spouse start divorce proceedings?--on what grounds?.

  will your family /friends turn their back on you?--maybe.

  If you leave Jehovah, you will not be destroyed at Armageddon. And if I'm wrong, then I owe you a Coke!

  I remember JW talks at assemblies always advising us not to get involved with pyramid schemes. I guess they wanted all of our time for themselves! (JWs being the original "pyramid" scheme LOL.)

  Since reaching middle aged adulthood, you ever have moments of uncertainty that frightened you?

  today's been somewhat of a strange day for me, but what concerns me is that i can't provide an explanation why.

  i awoke a couple minutes before my alarm clock went off, as i always do.

  its rare that the alarm wakes me.

  Ladies: were you often left to deal with the children at assemblies/meetings?

  by JimmyPage in

  especially those of you married to servants and elders?

  how did you feel about that?

  did you wish the society would make more accomodations for dealing with children?.

  The Annointed - how do they know?

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to me this is a serious matter as the annointed are the basis of how the organization is set up and operates.

  yet i have great difficulty in understanding how these people know that they are annointed.

  does the bible actually say that they will know?

  "You can't just tell someone their faith is wrong without offering a replacement!"

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have heard this from several witnesses.. the assert that it is insensitive to expose someone's faith as invalid without offering another more valid spiritual path.. "the jehovah's witnesses don't have the truth, because xyz.".

  ^ i have been accused of offering a disservice because i can't offer the answers to the questions that i am debunking as fradulent.. has anyone else ran into this obscure argument?.
