  Suppose a worldly person knows too much about the WTS

  by dgp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  suppose a practicing and, to all appearances, true jw knew a worldly person (me) knows a lot more about the wts than the typical jw would expect.

  i mean, the person knows the wts's structure, the general information about the basic theories (chronology, other sheep, the flocks, the anointed...).

  i believe that this jw would immediately suspect that the worldly has visited "apostate" sites.

  Other Religions use the Name JEHOVAH too

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  are jehovah's witnesses really the only religion that promotes and preaches the name of jehovah?.

  jw's are always claiming that they are the only religion that preaches and uses the name jehovah, and that is why only they will be saved.

  for example, look at this quote from the watchtower:.

  the next new light?.

  ok a bit of idle speculation here feel free to add your own thoughts.. a few changes that the wts might make over the next 5 years and my odds:.

  144,000 is symbolic odds 2/1.

  Door to Door Message? A DIVERSION! Where does the MONEY go??

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the door to door work is a sham.. the central activity of the watchtower bible and tract society is not spreading their so-called "message" about the kingdom of jehovah established in the heavens in 1914.. that's a load of propaganda.. the door to door activity is feckless in producing converts.

  in fact, it is an immense failure of mammoth proportions!.

  but, it is a diversion.

  Interesting Experience -Man falls in love with "Special Pioneer" sister who studied with him.

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i pioneered we travelled to a small "outback" town every week...population 1,200, to assist 2 witness families with preaching.

  a special pioneer sister {single not that great looking 40 year old} started a study with a tough hard working aussie bloke, but....rather then hand it over to me she continued to hold onto the study for afew months.

  see outback australia is a bloody hot place during the summer so it's easier to spend the afternoon under a fan having a study rather then door knocking with a mile between houses!!!!

  How many of you were baptised at a young age?

  by lepermessiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing this site has made me reflect on the baptism practice in jw land.. many of us were raised in the religion, thus you were given the pressure early on to shoot for baptism as a goal.. i remember feeling bad because i waited until the ripe old age of 14 to take the plunge.. looking back, i realize that when i was 14, i didnt even know what my favorite color was, let alone have enough knowledge to make a life altering decision.

  yet, growing up in that climate, i would say anyone who waited past their early teens to get baptised was viewed with great suspicion and was likely to be viewed as "bad association".

  kids who took the dip at 8-9 years of age were viewed as "wise beyond their years" and the like.. how old were some of you when you were baptised, and what are your feelings on the matter?.

  well, in nearly forty years of being a dub, i've read some bs but some of it really takes the biscuit.. take for example the watchtower of november 15th 2006!.

  always accept jehovah's dicipline.
