  I'm Going to Break Up with My Boyfriend Today

  by LaurenM in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  so like the title suggests, i'm going to break up with my boyfriend today.

  it's for several reasons, but mostly because i'm not prepared for a relationship.

  i need to grow and learn what it's like to be me now that i'm not a jw and learn how to love myself so i don't make the person i am with miserable.

  Jehovah Created Animal "Kinds" - The Numbers Don't Match Up?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1. the creation story taken literally: god created all "kinds".

  from jw.org: what is a kind?

  : the biblical “kinds” seem to constitute divisions of life-forms wherein each division allows for cross-fertility within its limits.

  Do JWs believe they will be the only people saved at the "end"?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the answer posted on jw.org: "no.

  many millions who lived in centuries past and who weren’t jehovah’s witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation.

  additionally, many now living may yet begin to serve god, and they too will gain salvation.

  The Way JW Females Act

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the more i interact with non-jw men and women the more i notice that i still behave like a jw woman.

  when i interact with people (men especially) i find myself being super submissive and docile.

  acting like i don't have a brain and can't make decisions on my own.

  Disturbing how Christians Feel about Non-Christians

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i posted a question on yahoo answers asking about what christians feel god feels about non-christians.

  the overwhelming answer was that he feels they must convert to christianity or risk hell/death/distruction (john 3:16).

  i just don't understand how this could be!
