  Do you think it's possible being a witness can kill a person?

  by The Finger in

  2. experiences

  a close relative of mine just before he died claimed it was being a witness that was partially responsible for his death (leaving aside the blood issue).

  Define "Ex jw"?

  by highdose in

  inspired from another current thread.

  i note some people are asking if they are allowed to participate in a questionaire for ex jw's if they are just fading or have not been df'd?.

  my own situation is this: tecnicaly i am a jw, baptised as a young tweeny and never reproved, df'd or da'd.

  is counting how many people are present at a meeting a "privelige"

  by looloo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i know that my daughters abuser was a min servant when he abused girls in the cong then got reprooved when found out , i presume he was then stopped from being a min servant but he never answered at meeting s despite every meeting standing at the back counting people present .

  when i started attending meetings i wondered why he never answered but was not too shy to count people every meeting , when i asked my bible study conducter she never really gave a straight answer and looked embaressed .

  i thought if you had been accused of abuse you could not have priveliges ..

  Once i was late and got a chair out at the back the attendant ran over and snatched it from my hands "that's my job" I burst out laughing. I'd taken his privileges away.

  Do you atheists resent the believers on here and do you believers resent the atheists?

  by Lozhasleft in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm wondering how people feel about us exjws either becoming atheists or continuing on with a faith in god?.

  do you get angry or frustrated at the opposing view?.

  i'm new but i've seen different reactions to both on here...as for me i am happy to live and let live nowadays...its ok with me whatever people want to choose for themselves..... personally i still have enormous faith and love for god....if the jws couldnt destroy it i dont think much else could...?.

  guys, when you were JW's did you feel sorry for the subjugated sisters?

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my cong i could name more than half the brothers who seemed to revel in squashing the sisters back into the door mat where they belonged.

  nothing personaly irrated me more than being treated like a lower form of life simply because i didn't have a penis!.

  but i never saw any brothers make a stand, or try to treat the sisters better.

  Did you find JW's infecting others just so that they didn't miss a meeting?

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  give you an example: there was a hoiler than thou, devout couple in my cong who had a son.

  the son aged about 5 had chicken pox, they took him to the meetings, never missing one so that he would learn that you did not miss a meeting!.

  the result was several of the infirm and eldery ones contracted either pox or associated illness like shingles.

  I was raised as a witness and to miss a meeting was only if you had died. I've had elders who have questioned as to whether i've been out of the house as i have not been at meeting due to illness. These are appointed by holy spirit and approved by the bethel.

  Validity of JW Baptism

  by maputo95 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  please could someone tell me what is said in a jw baptism?

  i was told that jw baptisms are invalid because they do not baptise in the "name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit.

  because of this invalid baptism a catholic cannot marry a jw with church approval, i think.

  2. bible

  eventually i would like to do a deconstruction on the entire book but for now, lets start with the prologue, which claims to be written by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  if anyone feels this is useful, please let me know.
