  Are we all still FAMILY? Yes or No?

  by Greybeard in

  2. friends

  here is why, even though i no longer agree with most of what the gb/wt/jw's teach, i still feel especially close to all of us who were apart of this group.

  born in or converted.

  we all have had the same life experience of being raised in a over bearing mind controlling cult.

  Attention Born in Lurkers

  do you feel that something has changed within god's organization?

  have you noticed that in the past several years there has been a more authoritarian spirit displayed in the publications and from the platform?

  i am in the beginning stages of a fade away and wanted to express my thoughts.

  Have you noticed that the Watchtower is not emphasizing how close the end is as much?

  by stuckinamovement in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  maybe i am off base, but it seems that the last year or so hasn't had the standard retoric about how "imminent, close, or soon" the end will be.

  it seems as if the focus is now on obeying the governing body.

  have you noticed this?.

  Thanks Wannabefree,

  I stand corrected. It must be my lack of faith that has caused me to ignore these warnings and timely reminders.

  i would like to think of myself as an academic.

  im starting my second degree and i enjoy research.

  when i see a statement backed up by references and support from a credible source, sometimes i get excited.

  National Anthem

  by stuckinamovement in

  i was reading an article about some guy who refused to stand for the national anthem on 911 at the jets cowboy game.

  here is the question..... why can witness kids stand respectfully for the flag salute, but not the national anthem?

  direction is given that for the national anthem you must remain seated unless you are already standing.

  I apologize but I should know this as a former elder, I just never understood the reasoning behind it.

  JW's Thoughts on Medical Cannabis

  by bushido8000 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've wondered this for sometime.

  to all of the jws on the forum, what is your opinion on medical cannabis?

  i support it for a couple of reasons.. 1. i've battled clinical depression since age 9. after my anti-depressants stopped working when i was 21, i heard about cannabis' positive effects on depression through the internet and a couple of documentaries so i tried it.

  I remember talking to a brother at the legal dept about this. The bottom line is even though medical marijuana is legal in many States the fact that it is still illegal under federal law prohibits a "true christian" from using it. The brother or sister would not be able to be used in any priveleged capacity.
