  this question is mostly for those of you who still believe in the bible to some extent.

  my mother-in-law called the other day to see if rileygurl and i were going to the memorial this year.

  Reasons and Questions....

  by Deacon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read very carefully isp and farkels's comments regarding why people stay/leave the organisation.

  in writing that sentence, im very aware of the influence of being a member from childhood....41 years worth, behind me.. both contributors made excellent informative points from their singular perspective, although opposite in view, the parallel was on the same axis, therefore just extremes of the same understanding, sort of left and right of the same line so to speak....but it made sense to me and gave me time to think about reasons..... i am still a jehovahs witness.

  no, i dont go to meetings, no i dont go out in the ministry, no i dont associate with other jw's....but the upbringing, the regimentation, the responsibilities, the mental regulating of 41 years has coded me to think, react and do in accordance with the actions of being a jw..... this is something that will take a long time, if ever to remove, and its a hard job deciding what needs to be removed, not all of the training was bad.. i still believe in jehovah.

  "in any case, our salvation depends, not on anything we might do, but on jehovah's undeserved kindness [grace] through christ jesus, our lord.".

  hello everyone: i have been away for a while from various forums.

  i saw farkel's recommendation to check out this site at jwd.

  so, here i am.. the issues surrounding pedophiles is taking on momentum, and i just recently learned that my son-in-law's dad (a jw) was arrested for molesting a minor (not a jw).

  The wonderful future Christian America.

  by Norm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  those of us who have frequented h2o and have otherwise encountered our fundie friends from the usa have many times been reminded of their strange arguments and ideas.

  all of them seem to long back to biblical times and particularly the times of the old testament.

  they have got the idea that those days were so wonderful when everybody was adhering to biblical morals, values and such.

  always late .

  one of the watchtower society favorite themes is how incredibly late it is.

  it is in fact always later than you think.
