  Remember the Wife of Lot

  by Addison0998 in

  2. beliefs

  for family worship last night, our family watched remember the wife of lot movie since it will be discussed in the meeting this week.

  there’s a few things i noticed that i didn’t think about last time i watched it.. first, the dad is very of course against his daughters going to college or even trying to find a good job.

  yet he does accounting, which is a very good job that almost always requires a college education.

  That video was so weird, not because of the content but how it was presented. Was it a sitcom? A dramedy? A film with a serious message? It was all over the place.

  WT Lap Dance Anyone?

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  from the 11/2018 wt study edition:.

  lap dancing is a form of lewd conduct that is becoming more common in the world”.

  perhaps this observation goes hand in hand with the previous article pp.17 that “….

  How on earth would they know unless they're out in places where lap dancing is going on. I've never heard about it becoming more common

  Probably more reports about young people from Elders and COs, I believe it. I have even heard some girls bringing their BFs as a special treat. Still, wouldn't common sense tell you that this would be considered wrong by JW standards?

  Alex Jones, Infowars Ban on Youtube, FB and other platforms

  what are you thoughts on this?.

  i find this alarming because jones was very outspoken and had great guests on discussing topics most other media outlets wouldn't go near.. the fact that many have restricted him access to their medium what does this say on our freedoms of speech?.

  A lot of his stuff is insane conspiracy theories but every once in awhile there is a nugget of truth in there. He does condemn people without much evidence, so that could be considered slander. I think the people who want to watch this kind of stuff already know about him and will look for his videos elsewhere.

  Sex before marriage

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  for ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.

  what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?

  in western society, you’ll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.

  Marriage is great and all but if you've only been with one partner it always leaves you with the feeling that the grass might be greener somewhere else. It's probably best to get some experience when you're young but be responsible about it.

  How the Borg could increase meeting attendance numbers

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i think that the 8 popes should allow the jdubs to count time driving to the meetings or even count their time being at the meetings.

  those who just listen over the phone can't count their time.. it would be a much better religious cult if the 8 self-licking ice cream popes would let their followers count their time for helping the elderly in the kingdumb haul with stopping by to have coffee, shopping, cleaning, cutting grass, etc.

  let them count time by visiting the friends in nursing homes, maybe even allow double the hours for the nursing home visits.. this probably ain't going to happen because the cart work is easier..

  Maybe they are try decrease meeting attendance, the majority of donations only come from a small percentage anyway.

  JW culture of "informers" is very similar to Communist China under Mao

  by TerryWalstrom in

  2. friends

  first, let's look at what counsel is published by the watchtower and required as proper behavior in the congregation.. *** g88 9/8 p. 20 should i tell on my friend?

  ***understandably, you may not feel you have the spiritual qualifications to readjust an erring friend.

  but would it not make sense to see to it that the matter is reported to someone who is qualified to help?

  Why do some people insist on opening their mouths about stuff? The less the elders know the better!

  How Would You Prove To A JW That They Are Wrong?

  what could you say to prove to a witness that they simply do not have the truth?.

  You don't need to prove anything and I don't think that method works anyway. Just opening them up to the idea that not everything WT says is the truth and that it is okay to disagree on some matters is the first step.

  Forgiveness

  by Freedom rocks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if someone does the same things over and over again and says sorry and then does it again and you point out that their apologies don't mean anything anymore, then they accuse you of not being forgiving enough, who is in the wrong?

  (i mean as in constantly over a long period of time).

  im trying to work out whether it was just part of the persons mental/ emotional manipulation tactics or whether i have the wrong view and i'm not forgiving enough.

  Some things maybe ingrained in the person's personality and not very easy to stop doing. It could also be that the two of you have both have tactics that you use to get what you want from the other without being open about it.

  Am I being unreasonable with my pimo boyfriend?

  by Addison0998 in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i was very lucky to have be dating somebody who didn’t run and snitch on me when i started having questions and showing him research i did, instead he listened to me, and after a few arguements, he did wake up as well.

  it really didn’t take much to wake him up, and he was more just tired of the crazy witnesses in general.

  and now we are planning on getting married and fading together so that our families can at least enjoy our wedding, that special time in life, before we possibly loose them one day.

  If you say that he no longer believes in God then it is likely that he has no desire to research religious or doctrinal points. To him it is all made up nonsense, so it really doesn't matter.

  What is the current pulse in the organization with the reductions?

  by SouthCentral in

  2. friends

  i have not seen jehovah’s witnesses in my neighborhood for several years now.

  it appears that the cart witnessing has taken over.

  congregations are being consolidated and witnesses are being forced to travel a greater distance than before.the burdens/privileges of elders seem to be ever increasing!.

  Not sure how it works in other halls but here the cart work is being done mostly by pioneers. If you're not a pioneer you can ask to be put on the schedule. I believe you still have to do some training on what to do and what not to do. Mostly though it seems to be the pioneers doing it after door to door for extra hours.
