Name Things JWs Believe That Are Not Biblically Proven
by minimus inwitnesses try to convince you that everything they teach is supported from the scriptures.. where in the bible does it say anything about "special pioneers" or "publishers"?.
where in the bible does it say you can take some blood components but not others?.
where in the bible does it say that 1914 was a marked year?.

Welcome and your post is a lot like I feel as well.
I have to ask all of you one question. If you have been inactive for years and years, would you DA yourself or just leave it as it is and continueyour life? Do I have to DA myself, or can I just keep on like I am doing and just not go to meetings.

Those of you who were in Bethel, was the things that Franz wrote in his book COC true? Did those things really go on there? I just finished the book and was totally blown away.

I watched a Twilight Zone this morning and the marked became invisible to mankind. Not really invisible but all who seen his mark on his forehead were not to talk to him. Was funny, I knew it was being aimed at Jehovahs witnesses showing how stupid the shunning is.

snubbed by the dubs...
by undercover inas most of ya'll know, i'm not dfd or dad, just faded and i've commented about how i still have some contact with some jws that i used to associate with.
only on rare occassions do jws that i didn't know that well to begin with treat me as persona non grata...no big deal, i usually couldn't remember their names to begin with so it wasn't like i was being shunned by family or friends.. this story begins at the mall, where i was with my wife (*sbm), not my favorite place to be...but the sacrifices we have to make sometimes...you married guys know.... anyhoo, we're in a common area near the food court, deciding if we wanted to get a snack or just hold out for real food in a real restaurant somewhere else, when a "sister" we've known for years spots my wife and comes up.
we've known this person for over 20 years...we go way back.

That is one thing I have never encountered from the witnesses at this congregation. I do not go except the to memorial to take my parent. But everytime I see any of them out in public they are all over me hugging me and telling me how much they miss me and to come back. They even come to my home at times to visit. I guess thats all bound to change once my parent passes away and I do not even go to the memorial anymore, you think?

Worshipping Jehovah without all the rules?
by ptucker8357 inhi again.... i've been searching around for a few days now trying to understand whether or not there are spiritual folks out there who believe some of the fundamental tenents of the witness religion, but don't believe in all the rules that the gb puts forth... many of the folks that i talk to tell me that the only way to salvation is through acceptance of jesus as god.
i do accept jesus as the messiah, as a perfect man that god sent to atone for the sins of adam, but i don't believe he is god.... i believe there is one god, one son and one holy spirit and they are not three persons in one god... i feel weird whenever i go to another service that exalts the trinity, as well as some other basic rituals of their religion.... am i making sense?.

I still believe in Jehovah God, his Son, and the Holy Spirit as separate entities myself. I do believe they are so alike in charactor that they may seem as one. I have tried to understand the trinity but like others here, cannot grasp it.
I still believe there is no burning hell, why would God be so mean as to do that?
But I feel parakeet said it better than anyone.....
"Your beliefs don't have to make sense to anyone else, as long as they make sense to you and don't harm anyone."
I have always felt that Jehovah will judge us by your hearts, even when I was an active JW I felt this way. There are to many good people out there who are of different faiths to be destroyed simply because they are not JW's.
