by UnConfused in

any details that you could share?

asilentone

Well, I manage a very large home with on demand water heaters, I have seen the utility bills, I was amazed that it did not cost them that much, so go ahead and buy them!

Hi all

i have decided to join this forum after quite a long time lurking here (a number of years actually).. i have been out of the truth for a while and recently started to attend some meetings.

but i now think a bit more freely and wonder whether i am doing the right thing.

a cousin of mine regularly posts on here, didgeridoo in fact i have seen him today, speaking to him has made me decide to finally post on here, although i have my reservations whether i am doing the right thing.

How Can We Expose Child Abusers - Who Got Away with it as Witnesses ?

by flipper in

i got the idea for this thread by talking with a friend this weekend who had been abused by a father when young.

this person confronted this parent about it and got a very self righteous reply back from the offender.

already a precedent for exposing the watchtower society has been set.

we can expose them via email, not on www. What do you think?

Why pray for God's kingdom to come?

i never did understand why one should have to pray for god's kingdom to come.

i mean, isn't it going to come whether you pray for it or not?

what is the point in asking god to bring something that he is going to bring anyway whether you want him to or not?

asilentone

Well, if you continue to pray for God's Kingdom to come, you will be there, if not, you will not be there.

Elder calling around

i'm a new member as i've not completely left the org yet and being a "good lil jw" would never have looked at a site like this previously!

there is one elder in the cong who calls around every so often to "chat" as i only stopped attending meeting a couple of months ago.

i've spoken to him about certain subjects - eg the un thing and the misuse of quotes - but he has no useful answers for me.

Welcome to the board! I am sure others will give you some good pointers on how to deal with your situation. By the way, if you do not mind, please explain your username.

What is the shortest prayer you have ever heard in the KH?

by asilentone in

one time, a elder said like "heavenly father jehovah, thank you for the meetings.

i pray thru jesus name amen" i was so stunned it was a very short prayer.
