  Ezekial.

  by zeb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i rarely comment on the bible itself as i believe it can be a 'merry go round' and nothing achieved.

  in my gradual reading of the bible for the third time i am now up to the book of ezekial.

  the message goes into a great detail as to what the almighty will do to fallen nations but there is so little as to the good that is promised later in the scriptures as to the 'new order' (but the jw dont use that term anymore).

  please explain some of your past experiences of dealing with dealing with nosy brothers and sisters and how you dealt with them.

  also have you ever dealt with a brother or sister who brings up your past just as a new topic for a conversation?

  that happened to me once.

  Do jw's have any concept of numbers re: population?

  by carla in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking about how jw's like to brag about having 8 million members world wide and thought i might look up just what those numbers really mean in the big scheme of things.

  back in the day when me & my jw were still discussing anything jw he thought that 8 million people couldn't be wrong.

  i tried to tell him what a minuscule amount that really is to no avail.

  Why I'm rejoining the JWs

  by Fred Franztone in

  dear brothers and sisters.

  after many years outside of the truth, living as an atheist, i have come to realise that i have been on the wrong path.

  the fool has said in his heart that there is no god, and i have been a fool.

  Anyone struggle to find meaning in life?

  by Good JW in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just wondering if this is a common thing for you guys and girls?

  when i left the jws it was hard to make a connection with people, much of the time i felt that whatever they wanted to talk about just didn't seem relevant/deep/meaningful.

  i find myself filtering my mind to get to a level with others (small talk mostly).

  Do You Know Any “Gay” Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of course the religion condemns homosexuality but did you know any gay witnesses?

  i knew some bethelites that were very effeminate and i remember 4 women who were suspected of being lesbians by many in the congregation.

  they eventually moved away and were very vocal against males, especially elders..
