  So, here's a new definition of 'apostacy'

  by ItsMyLife in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you allow your child to have a part in the nativity play, it's apostacy.

  even if the child just stands there, dressed as a an animal.

  with no lines.. even if you've been inactive for several months.. talk about extremes and emotional blackmail!.

  Is the WTS backing away from "Bible Tall Tales" ?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a kid, it seemed like not a meeting went by when you didn't hear about jonah or sampson and other tall tales from the bible.. now though, they seem to have been sidelined.

  i guess the rest of the world caught on to the fact that these stories couldn't possibly be true and were so far fetched (yeah, even by bible standards) that they are just treated as 'stories' like aesop's fables.

  saying that you believe in them as genuine accounts just makes you look like a crazy zealot.. but the wts is different.

  My mom and aunt was talking about this. You woulda thought that Jehovah himself came down from the heavens and gave a public talk. Aunt was talking about how the governing body is so 'down to earth.' Whatever that means.

  What Was Your First Experience In Exposing Yourself To "Apostasy"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a young teenager, i would look at "apostate" books at the city library.

  i was always intrigued as to what was sooo bad and other than a few writings of some that seemed like they hated the witnesses, i would clandestinely look at literature, especially in "christian" bookstores.. it took years for me to finally disconnect.

  i will say that ray franz' books enlightened me the most!.

  I ran across this website called 'Watch the tower' my first year in college. OMG, I was so scared. I quickly clicked off of it. I thought it was ran by satan himself. Now when I look back on it I just laugh.
