  Who is AGBM?

  by african GB Member in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the purpose of this thread is to tell everyone on this board who i am and why i am so different.. first of all, i have already apologised on another thread for posting zero drivel topics here.. i am a 29 year old male, born-in, baptised in 1998, df'd in 2003 for fornication, reinstated in 2008. i want to make it clear that i have never been a ms. after my reinstatement i continued to attend meetings with the same cong.

  but moved to another cong.

  earlier this year, reason being, the continued shunning by some hardcore self-righteous publishers.. i am still with the same cong until now, i go to meetings regularly, including taking part as well as giving bible reading talks.

  Question for Billy The Ex-Bethelite and others who had forgone college sometime ago.

  by garyneal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was talking with my wife today about college and i asked her about why the society makes such a big deal about witnesses not going to college.

  in typical dub fashion, my wife tells me that they do not discourage college, but they do not encourage it either.

  instead, they encourage placing kingdom interests first.. now i told her about you (billy) and how you were at bethel and are now starting college at the age of 40 (i think that is correct).

  Age of Adam

  by goddidit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone happen to know what the jws have to say about this?.

  i know apologists usually have a convoluted answer for everything but i just can't think how they could possibly defend this.

  so, each 'day' of creation is 7000 years long, adam was created on the 6th 'day', god rested on the 7th 'day', adam then dies at an age of something like 930 years!!.
