  Brotherdan seems like he really DID leave

  by sabastious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he was an interesting presence on this board.

  he had integral knowledge about bethel and the like.

  i am an emotional guy too so i can kind of relate to why he left.. but, you gotta get thick skin on the forum.

  It Is WRONG To Make Threads About What The Watchtower Is Doing If You Do Not Have Facts To Back It Up!!!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think we should not make statements about what the watchtower society is secretly doing if we can not substantiate the statements.. we do not know if a "bethelite" is doing whatever he claims to be doing clandestinely.

  when we make threads or statements about things we have absolutely no proof of, we are making ourselves look bad.. when impressionable people read these things, it sets our efforts back immensely.. please think about what you're doing.

  it's counter-productive!.

  If everyone did that, there would be no way religions could ever get a foothold, let alone survive.

  Speculation.

  Introduction

  by dontplaceliterature in

  2. beliefs

  before i begin my introductory post, i would like to mention that a number of my initial comments here may be viewed by several of you as watchtower apologist or as sympathetic to the views of the jehovahs witnesses.

  the last thing i want to do is incite a flame war regarding my legitimacy or intentions in joining this forum.

  mostly, i would describe myself as on the fence.

  It sort of scares me to be a member of a forum where such a demonstration is praised and lauded by so many.

  "Richie Rich" popped into my head for some reason.

  What Did You Avoid In Order To Be A Good JW?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we were always told how the demons .

  we avoided 2 door cars because it was (obviously) not a good service car.. there are plenty of things that you might think of to add to the list of no-nos for jehovah's witnesses.

  any others?

  Everything I avoided was being done by quite a few in the congregation.

  Stupid me.

  What was the worst part of the conventions for YOU?

  by mochamint22 in

  1. social
  2. current

  i thought it'd be fun to talk about what part of the conventions just made you cringe or be annoyed with.

  i can remember a couple things:.

  i remember after the tms when they put the list in the back on the announcement board, there were people that would get up while the last song was being sung to write down the info.

  Last night my father invited me to dinner to inform me that he was no longer speaking to me, and he had decided that the rest of the family was not allowed to either. This is because I have not been attending Christian meetings and am suspected not to be living the Christian lifestyle, which is "a dangerous and destructive influence" that the family must be protected from.

  He invited you to dinner to tell you he was no longer speaking to you? Did he stop speaking to you before, during, or after dinner?

  His reason was you had not been attending "Christian" meetings and suspected not to be living the "Christian" lifestyle, and you have been neither disfellowshipped, nor have disassociated yourself? What scriptural basis did he use to stop speaking to you AND to keep the rest of the family from speaking to you?

  as I exercised all the understanding of their culture I could muster,

  "their culture"? You were an MS and you went to Bethel, and you are using this term? I've never heard it put this way in witness circles.

  When they discovered earlier this month that she had friends outside of church, they became infuriated and placed her under house arrest.

  "friends outside of CHURCH"? Once again, you went to Bethel. You were an MS and you use "CHURCH"? On an ex-JW discussion board?

  While I'm famous around here for being a bad debater, I made a couple of points.

  I was good at debating scripture.

  So which one is it?

  I read a bit of the other portions of your "story" and for all I know, you could have taken parts of the experiences of others and put them together.

  Sorry friend, but your "story" looks kind of fishy to me.

  bohm,

  The author said what he said, and he is being called on it.

  That's what you don't like.

  Either way, I really don't have a problem with Global Warming.

  I have a problem with the term "MAN-MADE" Global Warming, which seems to have gone "out of sight, out of mind".

  I'm celebrating Easter. Everyone with half-a-brain knows that the Easter Burnny was born on December 25th and the Christ-bunny was born when the Easter Bunny was supposed to have been born.

  FF,

  Fartkel is constipated.

  Maybe you two can switch.
