  when i first going in on this place, i was sure here will be a lot of young peopel who was dfd fore some bad things, but what a chock i hade, here was, a lot of elders, former pionjers, even former behtelits, never inn my life i waited this.. i dont now how many you are inn us fore exampel who leavs, but when we look in figures, we can not se so many cant we?.

  i must ask who many it is leaving the truth , is it perhaps oneor two inn the cong in 5 year period, here inn sweden we have minus , going down from 24 to 22 000 inn a few year.. but in my cong, nowone leave, fore a long time, and then we have this year 2 new coming inn , who been away for 30 year.. so perhaps when we read this site , you will have the picture many is leaving, but is this the truth, ot not?.

  Are any subjects taboo?

  by sleepy in

  1. jw

  do you feel there are some subjects and questions that shouldn't be asked?.

  maybe you feel its disrespectful, or in bad taste to discuss some issues.or are all things open to discussion and consideration?.

  are you afraid of asking questions or discussing certain issues as you are afraid of how others will see you, and may think that because you ask the question you are promoting the issue?

  I do not feel that there are some subjects and questions that shouldn't be asked, but the other day I felt that there is at least one subject that I have not seen in Jw literature or discussed here.

  Smoking is prohibited on the grounds of sanctity of God given life. Smoking is not referred to in the Bible, but gluttony is. Would it be logical to avoid excess eating as too much weight is hazardous to one's health? If from Jw point of view one is eligible for being DF'd for damaging one's healt by continuos smoking would it be more so to follow this course with obesity?

  Incest accuse , witchunt?

  by happy man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after i have read a lot of this here, and evrything bill say, i must say this is a very delicat and difficult issu.

  almost unbelevebel difficult.. i dont want to defend abusers, fare from that, i hate them,and think the best is to take ther balls away, but i think it is important that this not turns out to be a witchunt on men, like it was inn in sweden in the some time ago, some swedeish famus writer say this is the moderm times witchunt.. in 1600 children was turnig inn ther mothers and say they was witch, and they was burnd , who can go against children.. here some social educated peopel find when they ask children, that if they think wery carefull, they must remeber that some have abuse them when they was littel children, we have also some case where fadher was realesd from prison after the children confesd that they was lying.. so this writer say that men is modern times witch, if you understan what i meen.. intresting thaught on a very difficult issu, but i think it is easy that this thing can turn out to be a hunt .. wher even some innocent is condemd.

  this was only my thaughts late inn the swedish summer .

  What irritates you?

  by writerpen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what irritates me is when the car in front of me on the interstate leaves his turning signal on for 8 miles.

  i was so irritated at this coming back from lunch today that all i could think of was, 'wouldn't it be great if i had a rocket installed in this little car so i could blow his car off the road?

  ' why do we get pissed at little stuff like this?

  Writerpen,

  if I just consider traffic and lay aside multitude of other things so:

  I hate drivers that drive too close in front of my vehicle.

  I hate drivers that drive so fast cars that I cannot pass them.

  I hate drivers that master inferior cars faster than I do mine.

  There used to be several scheduled (US JW) HF-pole frequencies on the sixties. Then around the same time there was an article in Awake! stating that one should not really devote time for this hobby. Actually it might have been written about CB, but they could not tell the difference just like Simon quoting 10-4 for hams.

  Sort of forerunner of Internet - information exchange out of their control?

  That is QSL, but you could have included CQ on the headline as I almost missed this QSO.

  No it does not have to. Just as well women does not have to come from certain country to be lovely. To my opinion it is only question of taste and availlability.

  JWs Are the Cleanest People on Earth

  by comforter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one benefit that jws get from being jehovah's people is the knowledge of good hygiene.

  before i came to be a witness, i did not think it was important to brush my teeth thoroughly or wash under my arms real good and use deodarant.

  i also tended to be a pack rat with a messy car.

  The other day my dog spotted two badgers and was quite exhausted of barking and running around them for a while before I found him. The following night he was sound asleep barking and legs twitching. Have these badgers been demonized? I do not think so, rather this is the way mind works even with animals.

  DO YOU FEEL GUILTY ?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the positive things about this board is the ability to express opinions and feelings.have you ever felt guilty for doing or saying something because of witness ignorance?

  i remember many years ago disfellowshipping a terminally ill older woman because she chose to live with her disfellowshipped "apostate" daughter who was caring for her.

  this still haunts me and makes me realize the unbelievable power elders can have.

  I take it that it is not very wise to jump off from a moving train, but what about the very next station where the train stops?
