How do you identify the true means of salvation? You make up a list! At least this particular list is down to three requirements. I think the list in the reasoning book on how to identify the true religion is ten. woopee!

NOVEMBER 1 WATCHTOWER - DOES IT SAY THAT NON DUBS MAY BE SAVED?
by BluesBrother ina certain witness,kind of close to me,is insistent that this article confirms her conviction that the wt teaches that jehovah will judge hearts at the "end" and both j w's and non j w's may be saved ....i say that it teaches the opposite.
what do you think?
how do you read it?.

i believe it is titled "the love you had at first" It is about re kindling those long lost feelings you once had for the "truth"

Is there any one thing you DID like about the witnesses?
by dobbie inok so obviously there's more bad than good(slight understatement i know!
) but is there anything you did enjoy about the religion?
just wondering cos i asked myself that question and the only thing i can think of (and it seems a bit materialistic to me lol) is that i could dress up in nice clothes and see men in suits!

The one thing i did like about the witnesses was that my parents met thru them and then had me! After that I dunno........I can swing a mop pretty good now thanks to being a JW!

My soon Ex- wife acts crazy sometimes! Wants me to live across the road!
by Witness 007 inmy wife and i now are organising seperation....she wants me to buy the house directly across the street from her!!??
the house is nice...polished floor boards etc.
i think she wants me there for security as she is afraid to be alone.

Your wife IS crazy! Walk, no, RUN far far away after giving her a number to a good psychiatrist. Staying close to her would mean moer of a headache for you.But if you love her you might have issue with leaving her by her lonesome. I take the view that in these situations you have to take care of your own well being first so you can make level headed decisions. Divorces are very complicated and stressful so good luck to you in that shizzle.

This is my name, I was a witness, and this is why I will never be again.
by wanderlustguy inthanks to this site, not only am i free of the mental imprisonment, but i am also free of the fear that the society used to keep me and others like me silent.. i am not a witness anymore because the truth is not what we are directred to think it is.
once we allow ourselves to think, it is clear as day that there is no real basis for anyone to take the title of faithful and discreet slave.
there are folders and lists which contain the names of pedophiles who were never turned over to the proper authorities for their crimes.

Study Edition Strangeness
by jaydoe1 inheard some interesting comments about the study edition wondering if this is a trend developing.
a friends mother wanted to get a spare copy of the "kool aid" edition to share with her (faded) son in hopes he might attend.
the elder she asked declined stating that the brothers were being very stingy with them.

My MS cousin was very hesitant to give me a copy, because all he had was the two copys they gave to him and his wife. He gave me one since there was only one study article left to do that month and he could manage it. I imagine its hard to get a copy from someone who is actively attending meetings who you happen to meet in the field service though. In my opinion it is similar to how they dish out the oKM.
