i was shocked to read in the "witnesses only" study watchtower this stupid rutherford policy was still in place, compare.. rutherfords last book "children" {ironic title} 1942 - page 281 "wait until after armagedon to bring children into the world...it is only afew years...until armagedon...those with infants will have greater woe...it will be a far greater difficulty to care for them during the tribulation...".

so if you were 20 years old in 1942 and waited......till 2011.....do the math.. wachtower 2008 april 15 p.19 "heading: "single and childless for a noble purpose.

" ...numerous couples have decided to remain childless...to remain free to serve jehovah...putting kingdom interests above some of the privledges that go with marriage...jehovah will not forget...there will be a great tribulation...it will be a difficult time for us adults and children alike...".

Shame on them...shame shame shame--Heard it said many times. A CO was waiting to have children and said it in a talk at a convention in SWF about 10 years ago... **He's dead now so who is he to have children with since they say those who are resurrected will not marry or have kids??? Sw

The Generation(s) That Wasted Their Lives

growing up as a jw, you see the world differently than most everyone else.

you see the world as something that is going to end very soon.

all that we know will be gone by the time we're adults.. when we were young, we were living in the last days and were expecting armageddon before we grew old.

Mine started in 1955...the end would come before I would finish high school...or a short time after in 1975 well that has long since past.

It is amazing how quickly time passes....56 years later and waking up (fully) just a year ago.

How could I of been so weak-minded? So controlled, so trusting?…I’ve since taken control of everything that I can.

SHAME ON THEM they make me sick...

Always do what’s loving and kind...this way you will have less things to regret. She did what would be considered a kind act…

I'm new to the whole JW religion - Can someone please explain the basics?

by Jackals in

i recently began a wonderful relationship with a guy who also happened to be a jw.

i have learned alot about him and how the religion effects his life and now i am interested in learning more about the religion - but from a beginners' point of view.

could anyone give me an idea of the basic beliefs and practices of jws?.

CANTLEAVE...Please thoroughly investigate the faith before being coerced into joining it. You have nothing to lose except some well spent time. If you join you could lose a great deal more.
