  JW's and music

  by Pink Floyd in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i really resent the fact that the wt looked down upon alot of music.

  rap was considered violent.

  heavy metal was satanic.

  I tried to keep my music life from anyone that would judge me. It worked for the most part.

  Do you tell people?

  by MrFreeze in

  2. beliefs

  as an ex-jw do you tell people about your jw past?

  how much detail do you go into when you tell non-jw's about the organization.

  i usually only ever say anything if somebody asks about my religious affiliation or mentions jw's.

  his reaction wasnt as liberal as i hoped it would be.

  he said that we needed to discuss it.

  however, gone are the days where im putting myself in the firing line and not sticking up for myself.

  Proof that the Governing Body is directed by God..

  by The Quiet One in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ..is there any?

  bear in mind what jesus himself said: john 15:24 new international version (niv) 24 if i had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.

  as it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my father..

  I think that the GB has self-applied Matthew 24:45-47 to death. They self proclaim that it applies to them, and that is their flimsiest proof, and the only one they have. Lame!

  Happiness Is A Warm Gun

  by MoneurMallard in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever notice how many new testament verses show jesus in support of taking up a sword or going out and buying a sword?.

  "prince of peace" yet, "do not think i came to bring peace, i came to bring, not peace, but a sword".... (i'm paraphrasing from mat 10:34).

  luk_22:36 he said to them, "but now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack.

  since leaving the organization 8 years ago, there have been more significant changes in the actual, physical activities of the organization than occurred in all the 40 plus years i was 'in'.

  bethel closings.

  bethel layoffs.

  Sad to say, no. I see a slow steady decline coming, but no implosion. They have a large enough warchest to milk things out for decades.
