  by jws in

  so i was talking with my daughter the other day and she tells me that she doesn't want me to push my beliefs on her.i am agnostic.

  which isn't a belief.

  it's a lack of belief.

  Lying In Wait At a Bed & Breakfast

  by Cold Steel in

  a few years ago while traveling in the northeast, my wife and i stopped in new haven, connecticut, at a b&b we'd reserved for the night.

  no sooner had we unpacked and moved into the living room for tea and treats, our hosts began to talk about religion, and we learned they were jehovah's witnesses.

  i didn't mind so much, but my wife was outraged that our hosts would use their place of business as a launching point to do missionary work.

  I heard this from someone else...

  Innocently talk about being a medium.

  Talk about their beautiful spiritual Aura.

  Ask to hold their hands and pretend to read their palms.

  I imagine they will leave you be and wake up next morning with a neck ache from the bible they placed under their pillow.

  I hear/read on this board about these pervs coming back to the Hall and know that they may get their 'privileges' back.
  

  But to see this in a video is shocking and nauseating.

  The different reactions in the car group is revealing. One defends, one hides his face.

  As a parent and grandmother, seeing this perv dressed like a preacher going in this group is scary.

  I cant believe that JW's think this is safe. Most everyone knows that child molesters are incurable . They [JW'S] should be held accountable.

  As OrphanCrow has but up he has already repeated his crime.

  Disgusting !

  And, why go to a prison and recut a convicted child molester....more insanity.

  during the last decade i've seen so many articles, and top speakers try to downplay that nfb policy.

  now, this weeks wt study mentions a positive experience of someone applying having, "contact and applying nfb with a df relative".

  NFB =

  taking care of elderly family who thought they would be in the new system by now and are not finically prepared.

  We certainly will not. So start being nice [ i.e. NFB] to your DF'd kids. You're going to need them.

  the watchtower november 2016, page 16, par.

  "some may feel that they can interpret the bible on their own.

  however, jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only* channel for dispensing spiritual food.

  adding to this is how they changed the baptism questions in the 80's .

  leaving out the holy spirit and adding their org. in it's place.

  During a conversation while the attack on Nice was happening and talking about all the other recent violence ; I was reminded about The End.

  A comment was made that 'The Message' would soon be changing. I asked 'like that the ark door will soon be closing?'. Answer, 'Yes'

  What would you like to have known about JWs before deciding whether to get baptised?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you could go back in time and tell yourself one thing about jws would you do it?

  and what would you choose to say to yourself?

  do you think you could have convinced yourself not to get baptised if you chose the right thing to say?

  What worked with all my children when they were teens....'if you get baptized and then get DF'd, most, or all of your Family and friends will shun you. Look at your cousin B. , see how everyone is treating her, including your father? She made one typical mistake. Are you sure you feel you will not break any of the rules? Do you think you can handle the shunning?'

  That did it for them, and would have done it for me too.

  In the comic books it's Glen,

  though I hear it will be Daryl .

  I can see this because the actor that plays him is starting a new series and has a movie coming out. Other than that, I wouldn't place him on the list as much as any other.

  The writers say there is no clue or way too know , but that randomly someone will.

  I could see Mishonne. Rick and her are too happy and overly willing to preserve this. It would destroy the rest of him.

  Hi there scared and lonely

  Just like in the kingdom hall , they are no guarantees. You can marry a pioneer sister, a bethelite , what ever, and end up with an awful person.

  Well it's that way here too.

  In fact you need to learn this one fast because this is just life. We were taught to lower our guard down while being around the brothers . You may feel you can do that here, Well, you cant, not without risks.

  I would not say anything of a private nature anymore, [in P.M. , things can get shared around] especially to the ones demanding it. that is just to rich :-(

  You have the opportunity to meet some nice and not so nice people here, if you want.

  I would get help from a private source and maybe just general support from likeminded people here. Some times the less you say publicly, the better. Be careful when writing when your emotions are running high. your judgement goes out the door.

  Take care of yourself
