  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am going to buy a tv today to watch movies on and play playstation.

  i have a choice between a 73 inch mitsb.1080 hdtv or a 52 inch sony lcd/hdtv?

  the lcd seems brighter and more clear, but it is smaller.

  My 16 year old son is starting to see the light

  by vivalavida in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  on march this year (2009) i dad myself from the jws.

  of course, it was nice to finally feel free, real free, after over 40 years of mind control.

  i don't write much here but i feel this is worth sharing.. one measure i took before leaving was to take my then 15 year old son for a walk and explain to him that things would be different from the jws standpoint, but that i would always love him and that he could come to me at any time.. one thing that was very hard for me, is the fact that i separated from my wife, with which i was having problems for a long time already.

  A question for all ex jws AND JW's here, btw I'm new too

  by EndofMysteries in

  so far quite dissappointed from what i've seen.

  this is very very important, first i"ll address the non/ex jw then i'll address the jw's (jw's scroll down if don't wanna see the first part).

  i see so many who have concluded that it was not 'god inspired', a lot of what is being done, and their conscience told them that many things conflicted with jesus teachings and the bible.

  Did YOU Disturb The Consciences Of Others?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower is always saying how we have to watch everything we do or say because we just might offend somebody's conscience and lord knows we wouldn't wanna do that!.

  did you find yourself offending the consciences of others?.

  by Newborn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just back from lunch and met two different former good friends from my congregation (i live in a small town) and they, of course, turned their backs on me... and it makes me feel strange and bad even though they're the ones who should really feel bad.... how can i learn to ignore it??.

  makes me both sad and angry at the same time.

  grrrr.

  The Final Nail in the Coffin of your JW Career

  by jookbeard in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know there has been countless threads on this, some say the paedophile scandal, others say the blood ban, some say the conduct of their elders, others say the petty rules etc.

  but there is usually one thing that seals every one's fate, tips you over the edge,finishes you off.i was fading, very closely to full inactivity, off the book study list, and very sporadic meeting attendance, which took me to the very last time i set foot in my kingdumb hall, this is what happened;.

  it was the memorial of 1994, i hadn't set foot in the place for months, but thought a show at the memorial would keep the wife happy and the elders at bay for a bit longer, i drove to the hall being careful not to get there too early(the wife was already there and had saved me a seat) i walked up to my seat about mid way in the hall so a lot could see me, it was packed probably about 200 there, as i sat down ( about 3/4 mins to go) a sister in front of me turned around and said"we haven't seen you in a long time!

  How many of you knew about the"Jesus is not your Mediator" teaching when you were JWs??

  by Lady Liberty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi everyone.... just curious how many of you knew when you were active, about the societys official teaching regarding jesus the mediator.

  i was floored to find in my research, that they teach jesus is the mediator for the 144,000 only.

  and it is only by our association with them that we might have salvation.. i don't know about you guys but i was blown away when i learned they taught this.

  Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 06-01-08 WT Study (VALUELESS)

  by blondie in

  2. friends

  repudiate "valueless things" .

  does this mean that secular work done as to jehovah is part of our sacred service?.

  may we always repudiate valueless words and cling to valuable words of truth.. ot example--moses.
