  Bad Associations spoil useful habits. Are the JWs right? Scripturally?

  by Open mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it has been interesting for me to learn the various ways that the jws twist the scriptures to fit their own dogma.

  (of course jws aren't alone in that, but that's another topic.

  ) two quick examples of jws not following or going beyond the bible are blood and birthdays.

  Bibles to read???

  by Troggle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can anyone please give me a little advice on a good bible to use?

  after looking around my house i realized that i only have one bible and it is the nwt.

  i have tried using the kjv but would like a good one in regular english rather than old english and i have been brainwashed into distrusting all of them.

  2. friends

  i wasjust really curious to see what the average of everyone's "history" is here, and also how many "higer ups" we have that have abandoned the ways.

  so what were you, an elder?

  a pioneer?

  The CO asked for more contributions

  by outofthebox in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it looks like the wt is running out of money fast.

  few weeks ago we had the co visit and he told us in the ms and elders meeting that he had never seen a letter from the gb like this one, but then he went ahead and read it.

  the letter basically said: "the contributions are down and there is more people in the congregation.

  Musings of a fader: July 4 picnic

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been a fader for sometime now.

  yesterday was the first time that i went to a july 4 picnic and fireworks - not that i went to specifically celebrate that day, i just wanted to get out and see people, see life.. i was raised in the truth and because of this i had many preconceived notions and ideas - one of them being that worldly people weren't fit to associate with, that anyone not serving jehovah would only "spoil my useful habits.".

  i wandered around the park and for the first time i just observed people without any pre-existing conditions - there was a lot of activities for children, face painting, candle making and various rides and people dressed up as cartoon characters.
