  Other Religions Compatible to JWs

  by greenie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering, are there any religions that exist that might be palatable to dubs?

  i realize all of their teaching goes against this, but i'm wondering from an outside or neutral view, can you think of any that would work for someone who was/is a jw?

  southern baptist?

  Is Christianity a form of mental disorder?

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  take the average born again.

  they begin their day imagining a powerful imaginary friend, and then go around mocking rational people and daring them to disprove the imaginary friend exists.

  some even hear voices from their imaginary friend and claim he exercises magic for their benefit.

  has your life been "blessed" since leaving?

  by tigeress in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while in the org we are constantly told that if we just tow the line and behave that will we be blessed and everything we want will come to us.

  personaly i havn't found that to be the case in the 30 years i spent trying to tow the line.. but now i've left wonderfull things are starting to happen in my life and i'm so very happy!.

  so i wondered, have you encountered more "blessings" or less since leaving?.

  Do You Need to Learn Hebrew and Greek? (WT 11/01/09)

  by Midget-Sasquatch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm sure quite a few of you on the board remember the km that discouraged learning the biblical languages.

  well, here are scans of this newer article from the nov public wt.

  very boring read with little direct prohibitions (understandable since its for outsiders), but still a bit of an eye roller with their reasons for not bothering to learn them.

  My JW Daughter sends a Letter to us Explaining her Shunning of Me

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i sent my 22 yr.old pioneer witness daughter and her husband a anniversary card and $ 40.00 and flowers the end of april.

  my daughter wrote mrs. flipper and me each our own individual letters thanking us initially for the gifts - and then went into detail as to why she has not spoken to me for over a year and shunned me.. keep in mind as i paraphrase some of the highlights to these letters that the only negative thing i have said about the organization to my daughter in 3 years was to show her the ap news release about the child abuse settlements by the wt society .

  i'll quote parts of the letter to mrs. flipper first :.
