  As Far as JW's and Thanksgiving go...

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's one of the most confusing holidays to jw's.

  it doesn't specify who to give thanks to, it's a u.s. holiday that is semi-patriotic and semi-religious but not necessarily either one.. i suppose jw's should go out of their way to avoid giving thanks this thursday so jehovah doesn't get pissed at them for being so slightly normal worldly and maybe accidentally smite them if armageddon starts this thursday..

  NEED HELP ASAP

  by BoomTown in

  my wife is bitter towards the organization right now and is finally willing to talk about flaws without her shutting down.

  what is the easiest way to prove the witnesses don't have the "the single truth" of the bible?.

  today i said to her, "you are probably worried about leaving because you think "what if they are right and armageddon comes.

  Question For Those Who Have Been Around Awhile...

  by BoomTown in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i started fading about a year and a half ago after i saw serious problems within the organization and doctrinal flaws.

  i was a ms, bethelite, pioneer for the better part of 10 years.. while pioneering as a ministerial servant i married a girl who wasn't considered "strong" in the truth despite being raised in the truth.

  anyway for the better part of the last 18 months i talk to her about the flaws when an opportunity presents itself.she no longer goes out in the ministry(more or less for the last year).. .

  hi guys!

  im very new here and i need a little help.. im not a witness, but i know all of the quirks and rules and whatnot because my long-distance boyfriend is a witness.

  the issue, other than the obvious, is that i fell in love with him before he told me he was one of jehovahs witnesses.

  Have you ever went over a friends house to eat

  by gubberningbody in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  and the food just aint no good, i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed and the chicken tastes like wood?

  so you try to play it off like you think you can by sayin that youre full and then your friend says momma he's just being polite he aint finished uh uh that's bull.

  so your heart starts pumping and you think of a lie and you say that you already ate and your friend says man there's plenty of food so you pile some more on your plate.

  JW Urban Legands

  by ShellyDee in

  1. social
  2. humour

  in my congregation we have many urban legands, like the one about the smurf doll jumping out of a girls lap and running out of the kh because it couldn't stand to hear the good news.

  we also had one where a sister was out in fs and a dog talked, it told a sister not to knock on this one door, the sister went to the house and knocked anyway, and the doors and windows of the house flew open and dishes flew out, the sister was scared and ran away and the dog yelled at her retreating back "i told you not to got here!

  ".

  us healthcare plan - how does it affect bethellites?

  by DaCheech in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  correct me if i'm wrong, but the new obama law makes it illegal not to buy healthcare.. the irs can enforce by penalizing people who do not buy into it.. bethellites cannot afford to pay for any outside healthcare.. any thoughts?.
