some people i know to be jw's have worldly friends as facebook friends.
i apologize for my ignorance, but, isn't this supposed to be socializing with worldlies?
if so, it seems many jw's are simply ignoring what the wts says.
i have few fb friends that are JW's and i'm DF'd and they know i'm DF'd and actually requested
to be my friend...so i don't know. the funny thing is that i wasnt close to them when i was in...so i have no clue as to
why they want to be fb friends...i think it's just to be nosy and see just how far gone i am.
"we should be mindful".
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Mental regulating
heavy petting
faithful and discreet slave
it was two "sisters".
one wasn't able to make it to my door as she had some health issues.
the other one was a bit older and must have just been baptized.
I'm crying with laughter on that one moshe "if you can't stand a little persecution now how will you survive armegeddon?" hilarious! classic
i remember my bethel visit...i was not impressed, after hearing all the bragging for years upon years...i wasnt impressed.
the bethelites seemed unhappy to me. I thought i was going to be knocked off my feet with all the splendor....i wasnt.
just looked through some of the largest populations in the world and ten of them add up to 3,500,000,000. how many witnesses serve these 10 countries.
no more than 60,000. the largest are china and india which together have around 2.5 billion people.
so is the jw good news being spread earthwide.
i've been here three years and only once have i seen a JW. They buzzed my bell asked if i spoke spanish and when i said no they walked away.
there is a kingdom hall right down the street. i never see them anywhere. Mormons come by all the time though. I see them every weekend and
a couple of nights during the week riding their bikes etc...I have never met not one person that said "oh yes Jehovah's witnesses yes they
preach about a paradise earth and living forever"
i almost missed this in my last post, but i just realized how important and must list it.
paragraph 14 from jan 15, 2010 wt last article entitled "jehovah's way of ruling vindicated".
"a few anointed members of "the israel of god" still remain, and as jesus' brothers, they continue to act as "ambassadors substituting for christ (2 cor 5:20) they have been appointed as a faithful and discreet slave class to care for and provide spiritual food for annointed ones and a growing crowd of christians, who now include millions having the hope of living on earth forever.
I've always felt like they were saying in so many words that "Jehovah cares about us only...Jesus willed everything including the kingdom to us...when Jesus speaks it's only to us...the great crowd is just a bunch of losers."
....then why do they not have the time of their services listed??.
so much for their boast about the preaching work in all lands.. .
i think that they really don't want people to just wonder in off the street. they rather have a person come as a guest of another jw. The list of meetings times usually is posted close to the door on a small sign. It's not for outsiders it's more like an fYI.
did you find yourself disappointed in your life as a jehovah's witness?.
yes all the time. and when i look back on it i get so angry....i want to work hard to get reinstated
just so i can stir up alot of trouble and tell them to kiss my *ss. I feel a strong need to tell those
elders to kiss my *ss. I feel like thats the type of closure i need. sometimes i have nightmares
about being shunned by them.
this question was inspired by a question on another thread.
to the ex-jw community here,.
do any of you regret learning that wt is not god's organization?
no, I was miserable but didnt know it. i was so used to being told what to think, do and say
that sometimes i don't know what to do with myself.
had our co visit last month.
normally the guy has all the charisma and charm of ben stein from "ferris buhler's day off", but he managed to give a talk that was actually coherent one night.. here is the rough outline:.
the theme was about the difference between "justice", "mercy", and "undeserved kindness".. situation 1: adam and eve sinned.
Wrong. The Biblical account is quite clear: God had already made up his mind that EVERYONE save Noah and family was to die. It never said God told Noah to preach a single thing, and it never said Noah preached a single thing. Even if he did, what would be the message? "You are all going to die. God says so. So there." What good would preaching something like that do? Nothing!

all my life i was taught at the Kingdom hall and in all my bible studies that Noah preached to the people of his time. I've seen many dramas at the assemblies on Noah preaching to the wicked people and how they just refused to listen. I just picked up my bible (not a jw bible) and it says nothing about Noah preaching or being told to preach. NOTHING. I feel like i need a slap in the face. ..well that was a slap in the face. I feel like
i just got ripped off in a card trick.
Thank you farkel.
