  THE ELDERS JUST KNOCKED ON MY DOOR

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was asked what i thought when i saw all the bad things going on in the world and about how close we are to the end.

  i replied "jeff, i simply do not believe that it's going to happen in my life time.

  " he was momentarily stunned and said "well, when have things ever been this bad before?

  Why is JEHOVAH so cruel?

  by african GB Member in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how can he be so intolerant to "imperfect humans"?.

  why does he only love jw's, even though he "created" everyone (well thats according to jw's)?.

  does it make sense that he keeps "creating" people( giving birth) while he knows they stand a 50% chance of getting destroyed at armageddon?.

  How many TIMES can a JW be DF'd before the ELDERS dismiss them PERMANENTLY?

  by african GB Member in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know a "sister" who has been df'd 10 times for adultery within a period of 15 years..... she is married....her hubby was an elder until she got df'd for the 1st time...he was then deleted....apparently the sister was not happy in the bedroom, he was always away doing cong duties, including jcs....... she keeps getting reinstated, and usually it does'nt take long for her (not the usual 6 months).....apparently she is a very good actress (she cries like a baby in the jcs )..... how many times can she keep getting df'd and reinstated like this until the elders say it is enough?.

  Why do we say " I believe in evolution"?

  by Anti-Christ in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i hear this and read this a lot, "i don't believe in evolution" or " this person does not believe in evolution".

  when we say this we a perpetuating the myth that evolution is a belief, when in reality it is a fact.

  we should say " this person does not accept evolution as a fact".

  Justice?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe this has been discussed before.

  but if a man commits murder and goes to jail for it, would it be reasonable to punish his innocent children for the same crime?

  and his grandchildren as well?

  What positive things can you take from being raised JW?

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  rather than getting too down about wasting the best years of my life in a cult .

  i have a really great imagination.

  you have to have one to get through five hours of meetings per week at a young age.

  What Birth Sign Were You Born Under ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  didn't know if this has been addressed before , but it's kinda interesting.

  when we were witnesses we were always told,oh!

  don't look at horoscopes or read anything about your sign because it's demonized !

  All Ex-Elders, Mr.Flipper going to Final MeetingW/Elders! I'll be careful!

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello ex-elders, onthe wayout, snakes, and wilyloman, just to refresh about a month ago i told you all that the appeal committee had overturned the disfellowshipping decision by the original jc as the appeal committee got a hold of me by phone and told me the society gave them direction in this.

  i have since explained the situation to my witness mom and dad, 80 &82, they are good with it.

  i am taking copies of the counsel you ex elders gave to me to be careful about what i say at this "alleged encouragement" meeting and promise you this, i'll watch my words carefully when they ask me questions.
