  Why does BETHEL NOT ALLOW district and circuit overseers to get-together.

  by yesidid in

  some time ago a district overseer i know decided to have a social gathering of the do and co's.

  after a district convention.

  when bethel found about it, the do was told to, and did cancel it immediately.. i have often wondered why they don't want the do's and co's to socialise.. what do you think?.

  Sex and JWs I want to know what you think "he played the God Card"

  by jonie in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i was a jw but left about 8 years ago, my husband wanted to go back so we have tried, i did not do so good.

  being gone so long just helped me realize this is totally false, i look at the jws as lambs being lead to their deaths.. fast forward to now, we are both in our 40s and i have had medical side effects from using birth control and other meds as birth control.

  my body can not take anymore, i have suffered breast cyst and uterus cyst, so i asked my husband who has an issue with using condoms because he does not reach a climax, and has to masturbate, to use something that would offer us a permanent result such as him getting a vasectomy.. his reaction is like why i feel even more strongly that jws are wrong.

  WTS Higher Education Policy

  by besty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a couple of topics recently have made me think about exactly how cynical are the wts when it comes to their higher education policy for the rank and file.. first one was mavie's about her forthcoming jc which prompted me to flick through richard dawkins the god delusion.

  dawkins quotes from a study published in mensa magazine 2002; .

  "of 43 studies carried out since 1927 on the relationship between religious belief and one's intelligence and/or educational level, all but four found an inverse connection.

  Can JW beliefs contribute to suicide?

  by TD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it may sound like a strange question, but aspects of jw behavior that are incomprehensible to outsiders actually make a morbid kind of sense when viewed through the lens of jw doctrine.

  for example, about 10-12 years ago there was a single mother in my wifes congregation.

  during the course of conversation, she learned that my wifes grandmother had recently passed away.

  Non-dual quote

  by Introspection in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this quote is from an interview with eckhart tolle:.

  .. you cannot fulfill the commandments unless you are egoless--and there are very few who are--as all the people who have tried to practice the teachings of christ have found out.

  "love your neighbor as yourself" is one of the main teachings of jesus, and you cannot fulfill that commandment, no matter how hard you try, if you don't know who you are at the deepest level.

  1. social
  2. relationships

  thought dating and marriage was tough in the year 2000...well just check out what david had to go through.. david wants to marry michal, sauls daughter.so whats he have to do?.

  samuel 18:25-28. at that saul said: "this is what you men will say to david, "the king has delight, not in marriage money, but in a hundred foreskins of the philistines".

  so david rose and struck down among the philistines two hundred men, and came bringing their foreskins and giving them in full number to the king to form a marriage alliance with the king.. lol

  The WTS Breaks Up!- theoretically

  by Dubby in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a topic i hadn't thought much about until zep brought it up on the bible research forum, i thought i'd drag it over here.. what would happen in your opinions?

  would there be a "old timer" sect with all of the traditional teaching?

  how 'bout a sect that is more interested in blood reform, along with relaxing the df policy?
