  i asked him what he thought about the "no bibles" situation.

  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

  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.

  Women are NOT allowed in the faithful & discreet slave class!!!

  by bytheirworks in

  if the "faithful & discreet slave" are no longer the 144,000 but only 8 men... isn't this a huge stepback for jw women's rights?.

  That is very very sexist. I dont understand how any woman could stay in this religion. Only men can go to heaven?

  JESUS' 100th ANNIVERSARY on the throne... Only (1) ONE MORE YEAR TO GO...

  by Calebs Airplane in

  i wonder how many jws have realized that yesterday was the 99th anniversary of jesus' rulership.... what of our time?

  on friday morning, october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, who took the lead at that time among the bible students, strode into the dining room at bethel in brooklyn, new york.

  good morning, all, he said cheerily.

  That website is crap with a captial C. But the sad part is that people are still falling for it. Theocratic warfare wrapped up in a pretty wrapping and a golden bow.

  Annual Meeting Instructions to MS / Elders

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have any elders or ministerial servants here recieved any specific instructions regarding the annual meeting?

  as an ms all i have been told to do is to arrive early to "await further instruction due to the sensitive nature of my assignment".

  ironically all i can imagine after hearing that a few times is dispensing cyanide laced kool aid to attendees.

  People have a right to preserve their culture race and identity!!!

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one of the biggest things that bothered me as a jehovahs witness was the whole 'we are the world' bullcrap that they used to teach, and that culture, color, and race didnt matter.

  as far as i'm concerned thats a bunch of bs.

  people have a right to preserve who they, where they came from, and they have a right to be represented.
