  JWD- Some of the Best Supportive Discussion I've Seen

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it certainly is a diverse board we have here , isn't it ?

  we all come from different backgrounds, walks of life, and had different experiences in growing up as children into adolescence.

  so it should suffice to say, that we will all have a variety of takes on various issues that come up on the board.

  Would you care for your elderly JW parents in time of medical need?

  by sweetstuff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this thought came to me as result of another thread on healthcare.

  alot of people consider caring for their elderly parents to be a burden, mentally, physically and economically.

  so my question is this, add into that the emotional upheaval of being shunned or semi shunned by your parental units due to their faith in "jehovah's organization" (i physically gag when i even type that, lol) would you turn your back on them and said, payback is a bitch isn't it?

  When the fog lifted - did you see the control tactics everywhere?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it took a while for me - but after some time i began to see most all religion as controlling entities, interested not only in forcing doctrine on adherents, but also, and perhaps primarily, seeking to control believers.

  i initially saw this as somewhat benign, but have increasingly seen it as dangerous, even a malignant force in human social-evolution.

  i see a far-right fundy church and it virtually screams "jwism" to me.

  Latest release at Convention?

  by Wee John in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi, could someone tell me what the latest publication released at the assembly is called?.

  reason i ask is i have the unfortunate position of working with 10 witnesses and i would love nothing more than to be able to...lets say spoil their eager anticipation at what garbage they are to be fed.. i am in australia so their convention is still a month or so away but i understand many other countries have already had the release and like i say, i would like to know the name of the latest book or books.. thanks.

  Banging my head against a brick wall - and I go back for more !

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yup i do - when it come to trying to reason with my cousin - who is still disfellowshipped but believes it's the truth.. i asked him if i could disprove the 607 date thus throwing 1914 and that out the window would he still go back - knowing they had decieved him.

  yes - he *&*$(@)&%)(@#$ said yes - i think the look of total shock/horror on my face could have said it all - i was lost for words - i might have growled though.. i know *i* can't make him see it but i keep trying.

  i've tried to keep quiet, i've tried reasoning, i've tried shock tactics, i've tried humour, i've tried it all - i know i can't do it - but i'm a sucker.
