  family is off to the 3 day convention from tomorrow.

  i was wondering if anyone could give me a little update about what is said, and what publications are released?.

  it's just i'm bound to be bombarded with it by 'worried' family who want me to go back before the end and i wanted to be prepared for what to expect.. much apreciated.

  What are the JW's up to now days?

  by ForbiddenFruit in

  so i left around 4 years ago, my family have pretty much left me alone after the first year of harassment, but in the last 6 months i've been hearing about 'the end' a lot again.

  so i'm basically wondering if anything has happened?

  if anything specific has gone on in the last 6 months (or few years since i've left) to make my family get all zealous about me going back to the 'truth' again?

  Hitler and the JW's...

  by ForbiddenFruit in

  i'm sure it's been asked before, but i'll ask it again.

  after watching a ww2 movie, my dad came out with a random line..."what's special is that a small group of people known as the jehovah's witnesses stood up to him.

  now, my dad is a strong jw and i have left, so this was a blatant taunt.

  Mental Block...

  by ForbiddenFruit in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  hi, i am a male in my late teens... now, as we all know, when you are a jw, even looking at the opposite sex is a deadly sin.

  the most a boy can do to a girl without brother 90 year old virgin giving you a lecture, is awkward stares from across the room.

  even a mere "hello" is enough to raise suspicions.. anyway, as time goes on, this thought pattern carries itself over, to even after you've left the organisation.. whenever you like a girl, you are scared to make any sort of approach, even a friendly one, in case someone (she) thinks you are a sexual pervert.

  So God can sin?

  by ForbiddenFruit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  something i've been thinking of.... god created humans in his image, yet it's possible for human's to sin, so therefore it's possible for god to sin right?.

  the jw's will throw the, "but jehovah can never lie", but if it's possible for him to sin then it's possible for him to lie about not lying?

  New Books: The Origin of Life & Was Life Created?

  by ForbiddenFruit in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so family forced me into accepting the two new pro-creation books released at the convention.

  i haven't had a chance to read them properly yet, but i expect to be drilled to death by friends and family on how brilliant the book is.. anyway, i was wondering if anyone was working on a critical analysis?

  or could join me in putting together a list of flaws in the books?

  Only Baptised JW's make it through Armageddon

  by ForbiddenFruit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember the day that i first found out about this teaching.

  it was during a co's visit, he got up on the platform, and made it absolutely clear that the only way to get into paradise was to be a baptised jw (he had a letter from the borg saying this).

  i was confused by this, and the next day i was set to work with him in the ministry.

  Getting into Arguments with JW's...

  by ForbiddenFruit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm trying to fade away, but i sometimes find myself in discussions or arguments with jw family/friends/white haired virgin elders.

  now, i usually have them beat on things but i'm not very experienced, so i was thinking if you guys could help me put together a list of completely unanswerable questions to pose to my jw friends/family/elders so they can stop bugging me.

  if i keep asking them questions they simply cannot answer, then they might leave them alone.
