  CO talk

  by Fatal Error in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we had our second co talk yesterday, the topic of which was loyalty, thinly veiled as to one another, but dripping with threats toward those who might go against the society.. after the usual drivel about the society being god's organisation, and appreciating their junk food (as an aside, has anyone actually vomitted up any of this "food"??

  just wondering...), i was rudely dragged out of my slumber by the co's harsh declaration that we should shun all those who slipped away from the thruth, as they inactivity is a bad influence.

  he went on to heap the blame on them, "if they feel this way, then they should expect their due", "they bring shunning onto themselves" etc.... has it always been this way?

  Is it natural to be with one person for a lifetime

  by Leander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've always wondered if there really is such thing as a paradise and a hope for eternal life would we be limited to interacting with only one person?

  the point could be argued from several perspectives.

  several scriptures would suggest that a man and woman once joined in marriage are to be tied only to each other indefinitely.

  I've been studying.........

  by bchapp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been studying with the jw's for several years.

  they have been pressuring me to become one of them, but something seems to be holding me back, instinct maybe?

  i agree a lot of their teaching are good, and i'm sure are the truth but here are a few of the things that bother me: jw's use the scripture hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the gathering of yourselves together...... to justify their meetings.

  My mom's circuit was disbanded

  by RunningMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, i found out yesterday that the circuit that my mother attends will cease to exist as of this summer.

  the circuit has existed pretty much since the beginning of time.

  due to low attendance, and gradual drying up of all jw's in rural saskatchewan, they are closing one or two congregations every year.

  ARENT WE ALL A BIT BITTER?

  by josephus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i cant help but think some of you guys are just tooooo angry for your past hurts.. weve all got terrible stories which can make us cry, but whats the motivation for such bitterness ?.

  some people search out pervets, seemingly to lay these scumbags and their faults at the societys door.. others try to use thier bad times as an excuse to rubbish the entire religion.. i am not saying that jws are great, or that the society is perfect or undeserving of punishment.. but why are we not trying to even up the good points of the religion.. no smoking, no drugs, no abortion, on and on, and on.. and then try to remember the good times you all had at the meetings.

  the laughs and the help you gave, and received.

  The 1914 Generation change

  by Andyman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was over on the thread about the blood policy and got to thinking how easy it is to just accept a change and after awhile people even forget all about how important it was at one time.

  if the society does change the blood policy how long will it be before it is just accepted, and brothers and siters don't even recall the previous stance on the issue?.

  this got me thinking about the change in the 1914 generation.
