  I'm in, and having a hard time biting my tongue sometimes

  2. friends

  i spend allot of time with other young witnesses my age, and am very close to a few of these friends.

  my question is, is there any way to safely talk about doubts?

  for instance, i've been learning allot about evolution and the science behind the flood (or lack thereof).

  I talked to a close friend about the fact that there's no evidence for a global flood. He conceded that a global flood might not have happened but that it wasn't a 'dealbreaker' for him. We never hung out again after that. My advice: tread lightly.

  Biblical definitions of marriage

  by ParadiseCircus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so marriage is currently the topic du jour in the tms and this meme's got me thinking about the bible and marriage:.

  but when i bring this up with dubs they say that 'jehovah tolerated this so that the israelites could shore up the numbers; it wasn't necessarily sanctioned by him'.

  can i get some help with a rebuttal?

  just created a site www.jwfacts.com

  by jwfacts in

  2. beliefs

  i just put together a site that tries to logically show the witnesses are not the true religion.

  just wondering how to get the information out to people that most need it.

  also any ideas on how to get the site found by search engines.

  If they have sufficient evidence against you I think they can hold a JC without you present and disfellowship you if they so choose. That is, after several unsuccessful attempts at coercing you to sit down for their interrogation. Without anything really damning I think their hands are tied and they just have to leave you to your fade. Although, if they have an inkling that you might be gay they might really try to pursue this...sometimes it just depends on the elder body. I would ignore them. The only power they have over you is what you give them as has been mentioned here many times before. Live your life. Be happy. You guys look good together.

  Man finds $17,000 cash and turns it in ... JW?

  by wannabefree in

  despite this man's facial hair and no mention of religion, he must be one of jehovah's witnesses, cuz surely no worldly person would be so honest.. serioulsy, he credits his parents.

  it always irritated me that whenever a witness does something good they have to throw in "as one of jehovah's witnesses ...." as though they were implying they would otherwise not have done the right thing.. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chibrknews-man-finds-17000and-turns-it-in-20110609,0,6950954.story.

  Dubs really act as if they are the only honest people on the planet. Sickening.
