  2010 - Year of the Governing Body?

  by lepermessiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let me explain by what i am getting at without sounding like captain obvious!

  i am actually excited about this since i think this could help assist a ton of people out of this organization!!.

  i believe that the governing body is stepping up efforts to emphasize their unconditional rulership - every wt study article seems to make reference to their authority.

  Most Annoying Things That Happen At JW Meetings

  by LittleSister in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today i was remembering how angry i used to get at the meetings and all the little irritations that in the end would just make my blood boil these included:.

  prayers that go on foreverstudy or wt conductors still taking comments when its clear that the point has been covered 20 times alreadymeetings over running by more than 5 minsmy favourite was this one elder who would play guess the point i am thinking of.

  he would keep rephrasing the question from the wt until someone would bring up the point he was thinking of.

  What Do Jehovah's Witnesses Stand For?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know what they don't stand for.. they do not celebrate holidays, believe in getting involved with the "world", vote, take blood transfusions......well, that's not really so.. if a christian (jw) wife was told by her "unbelieving" (non-jw) husband to help decorate the home for christmas, she could do it!

  if he wanted her to go to a christmas work party, she could attend.. a jw has to be totally separated from this world.

  politics is a no-no.

  What's a really good movie you'd recommend that most people probably haven't seen?

  by A.Fenderson in

  what's a really good movie you'd recommend that most people probably haven't seen?.

  my personal recommendation: synecdoche, new york.

  it's one of those movies that words fail utterly to capture--which really is the hallmark of a good movie, i suppose.

  Do you think you are forever damaged by the Watchtower??

  by noni1974 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been out since 1998 so i've had time to learn how to be normal.

  i've had time to get over the pain and hurt of shunning by those who claimed to love me.

  i really can't blame them because my mom was born in too.

  Since Leaving "The Truth" Are You Really Happier?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses say that when people leave "the truth", they get involved in a debauched life, misery, and general unhappiness.. they give experiences of some that left the "sweet fellowship" of the "brotherhood" and the awful results because of it.

  then, they come back and their lives change 100% for the better!.

  have you found life to be miserable and unproductive since "leaving jehovah"?.

  Happier that I left, yes. Even unhappier that I still have family in. Currently my life kinda sucks..
