  Did You Have Any Weirdo JWs In Your Hall?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the 2 halls i was in, there were a few.

  but the most memorable one was an elderly pioneer who would ask the householder if they wanted to hear about "the truth".

  when they quite naturally said ,"no", he responded with, "if you don't believe in jesus, jesus will turn you into a pig"!.

  How do you know the Bible is from God?

  by cognac in

  2. friends

  i really want to believe it, but, sometimes it is very difficult to figure out how it can be from god.

  i mean, in the old testament, he seems horrible in some instances.

  the adam and eve thing doesn't make to much sense to me.

  Hotel California - is this Eagles Album Single for Christians?

  by JWoods in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it came on the car radio this morning, and reminded me that this was probably the big single of 1977 - just about the beginning of the end time for me with the jehovah's witnesses.. now, you might understand that as a doubting elder with many deep issues at hand (it was the ray franz era of disenchantment for many elders)...i never heard much from them about the lyrics.. however - listening to it today, i can see where a "good" dubbie might find it to be at least as demonized as the smurfs cartoons.. and yet, very ironically, looking at them then and now, i always viewed it to be a sort of pop-social commentary on the california celebrity scene.. stretching it a little, you could almost compare the traveler's nightmare experience to getting trapped into the jehovah's witnesses - thinking it was a safe haven but then finding out that "you can never leave".. "we haven't had that spirit here since 1959".

  "in the master's chamber they gathered for the feast".... yes, i can apply a lot of this to the cult entrapment experience..
