  dear members about a month ago i read about an article in the watchtower november i think ....... it was titled something along the lines of "how to be a friend to jesus" the answering paragraph explained something along these lines ~ " to be a friend to jesus remain faithful to the organisation obey the faithful and descrete slave ..... and then something about the elders on more of a personal level".

  could someone please post the "how to be a friend to jesus" article and confirm which watchtower it is in ?.

  or if possible direct me to that particular post ........ this would be greatly apprieciated .

  Are you an 'Ex Witness' or just you?

  by creativhoney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wondered how people feel about this?

  - do some only mix with other ex witnesses a couple of my friends, and it seems that by definition, they are 'ex witnesses' almost like a religion in itself.

  - i would never define myself as an 'ex employee of xxx' as you leave it behind it doesnt define you.

  I don't think of myself as an Ex-JW. I'm just me....part of me is because of the way I was raised.

  When it comes up in a conversation, I say I was raised as a JW, but left as a young adult.

  i know this is off topic.

  I was "studying" with a team of local JWs for almost a year before it became clear why they wanted to survive the Great Tribulation in the most desperate way. One of the guys who was born into the witnesses, a young married guy who was not well rehearsed in his doctrines, stated that it was necessary that he and his wife survive that time because they wanted to have "relations" and children for eternity. It was then that I learned that all the JWs who die and have died before the tribulation will be resurrected celibate.

  I don't think they usually tell that to their recruits.

  I thought the part about "with a team of local JW's" was funny. A team...

  Then later in this same thread EverAstudent writes.....

  Sooner wrote: "and buy Sham-Wows"

  Never!!! Reject sham-wows and only buy real wows. Also, don't settle for sham-poo when you can have the real thing for free!

  And...The Shampoo part took me a second....but then, I laughed again, and I realized that it was the same person made me laugh twice in the same thread and they had been here for two years and I had never seen them before.

  That's it. Thanks for making me laugh.

  What is it with men?...

  this is a responce to john does "what is it with women" post.

  i'd like to point out that men do even more irrating and inexplicable things than women.... 1) not wanting to ask for directions.

  2) getting a kick out of seeing people blown up in movies.

  or how about the over weight middle aged men who look at young girls letcherously and somehow think that the girls will find them attractive?

  I've told my husband over and over, not to be so obvious. If you have to look, look quick and look away, staring is so rude.

  Anybody been dead before?

  by Snotrag in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  by dead i mean not breathing and no heartbeat.

  it took me a year to remember that i felt ,saw, experienced nothing.

  the whole thing bummed me out even though i had bought in to what the teaching is before it happened.

  Years ago, I dated a guy that died in a car accident. He was brought back. I remember him talking about seeing nothing and was disappointed. I don't know what it means. I've read stories about people seeing a light or seeing people that had died before them. But I've never known anyone in real life that had experienced that.

  I remember as a believing JW, being relieved that if I died, I wouldn't feel any pain...I would just go to sleep. Even when I was df'd, I thought, the worst that could happen is I die...and be in a sleep state. big deal.

  Now, I know I don't know what will happen when I die and I'm ok with that. Ultimately, I have no control over it.

  I hope you find peace.

  what is it with women?

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i swear, i only see women doing this.

  picture it--i'm patiently waiting in line at the local sack o shit and watching the woman in front of me stack her mountain of groceries onto the conveyor belt.

  now, the grocery store conveyor belts are not 100% conveyor belt--they all have 6 to 8 inches of flat space at the end of the conveyor.

  I do find it annoying when people park their cart on one side of the isle and shop the shelves on the other side of the isle leaving no room to get by them on either side or between them and the cart....and they are completely oblivious to me standing there. This is usually the only time I'm happy to have a kid or husband around to say loudly,.."excuse me." Otherwise, I just stand there and wait.

  CO asked my wife to wash his laundry...

  by Albert Einstein in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well this happened some 9 years ago, while we were very active and busy in the congregation..... (in my country - eastern europe - there are no laundromats and most people have their washers at home...).

  the co was single (age 45?

  ) and after one of the meetings he came to my wife with a plastic bag full of laundry and asked my wife politely if she could wash it for him till the next meeting.

  I'm not surprised, this is the same religion that trys to make you feel it is a 'privilege' to clean their bathrooms.

  For punishment, my parents once made me sit in the car, while the rest of the bookstudy got to go in and clean the hall.
