The really cool feeling of community within JWs

by Phaedra in

i remember going out with other jws after the memorial.. small gatherings.. picnics at some local landmark.. the feeling of closeness, camaraderie, friendship with like minded people you could trust.. haven't experienced it since i left.. really miss that..

daringhart13

I remember my fellow elders and their wives getting hammered on wine following the Memorial every year.

Yeah......I don't miss that. Or them. At all.

Questions for Serena Williams

by Esse quam videri in

being as serena williams shows outstanding abilities and skills at that which she exerts herself in, such as tennis, it would seems reasonable that serena williams has the same high level of abilities in all of her worthwhile endeavors.

perhaps she has this level of abilities in her journey as one of jehovah's witnesses.

would it not be reasonable that those who need greater clarification and understanding of certain bible subjects, to make contact with serena and ask her such questions?.

She isn't a Jehovah's Witness.

In fact, NO ONE that doesn't live their laws, demands and schedule can say they're a Jehovah's Witness.

There are tons of 'baptized' JW's that aren't JW's at all........they are fake, living double lives. Their depth of spirituality.....as some call it.....is only measured in not getting caught and continuing to 'associate'

JW's are the hard core followers that obey and waste their lives on a daily basis.

it seems like the watchtower is still encouraging "theocratic warfare".

in the no.1 watchtower of 2016, they (ironically) printed an article on honesty.here is something they said:"lyingwhat is it?

saying something false to someone who is entitledto know the truth.

daringhart13

You mean like "millions now living will never die"......or

....."this generation will not pass away"

or

......this proves they just laugh in the faces of their people. They know they're lazy, fearful or choosing ignorance.

Pictures in the Watchtower

by Sour Grapes in

after sitting through last sunday's watchtower i got so sick of seeing the bobbing/nodding heads when talking about the pictures.

they act like god himself took the picture.

there must have been 10 comments about the group in service and the one brother was looking at his phone with a smile, which is a dead give away that he was reading something interesting.. what got me was how the older brother in the posed picture had a bible in his hand had a stern look on his face looking at the young brother.

Do you believe in a personal God?

by StephaneLaliberte in

there may be a god, but i doubt he has anything to do with us now.

i cannot reconcile concentration camps such as auschwitz, which i have visited, and people praying before their meal, thanking him, who did nothing.

here is an example: frank has a kid named johnny.

You mean as a mere imperfect human, you wouldn't watch your children or loved ones tortured, maimed, starved, raped, sodomized, and slaughtered because a neighborhood bully said you didn't have the balls to watch it for centuries...over and over...and over...and over again?

Yeah.....that is the Jehovah's Witness doctrine called Universal Sovereignty.

If 'imperfect humans' wouldn't do that for a bully..... why would an almighty god?

You literally have to check your brain at the door. Beyond absurd.

Rivalry among the sisters

by Esmeralda001 in

when i was first introduced to the "truth", i was so distracted by the love and affection that the members were showing me that i was ready to convert into the religion without thinking twice.

i was conviced that jws were god's people (i still think some of them are).

i made it my goal to get baptized as i wanted to be part of the "only" religion that produce such good people.

daringhart13

Jehovah's Witnesses are a collection ground for people like these 'sisters.'

As an elder, nothing was more time consuming or brutal then dealing with all the petty fighting among 'women of god'

J.W. Women Should Stop Wearing Mascara!

by The Searcher in

the wtbts/ org dictates to its subservient followers what constitutes a bible truth/principle and what does not.

example: it-1 p. 319 birthday - ".....there is no indication in the scriptures that faithful worshipers of jehovah ever indulged in the pagan practice of annually celebrating birthdays.

the bible makes direct reference to only two birthday celebrations, those of pharaoh of egypt and herod antipas.

I said the same in my blog. It's comical the level of hypocrisy they teach.
