Best wishes to those still struggling

the holidays can be tough for a few years while you're adjusting.

the guilt of participating in, and enjoying anything related to the holidays can be overwhelming.. you don't have to celebrate any holiday to be a non-jw.

that is entirely up to you.. you may feel like xmas could never have any meaning to you because of your history and pagan roots.

Thanks, one thing I have been looking into is what was a pagan. As a Jw's all things pagan where in the same catagory as the devil, and false religion. And learning how pagans where just your comman villagers, figuring out life as they went with no science, and no holy scrolls to give them rules, behaiviours, or beliefs. It has been very freeing. This was not a group of people trying to worship the devil instead of God. And when word of Jesus spread, a lot of pagans became believers incorperating their traditions and celebrations. Not so scary.

The Truth From the Bible About the 144,000

by AllTimeJeff in

i hope this wont take me too long, as being concise isnt my biggest talent.

a recent thread on the 144,000 made me put a couple of things together about the governing body.

these are the ones that claim to have authority from jehovah, to tell the over 6,00,000 that although we arent masters over anyones faith, these 150 items are absolutely prohibited for you to do.

bookmarking for latter. Aswell Hi Flanny, welcome to the board...your questions are normal and are to be expected...this is the human condition asking questions...and not hiding in a cult for all your answers. I was a born in and it was/is very hard to have to think...but once you start it is pretty dam empowering and fricking awesome. Here is to your journey........

My life ... and how JWD came to be - Part 5

by Simon in

my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 1. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 2. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 3. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 4. i swear, i thought it was only a couple of years at most since i wrote part 4 of "my life and how jwd came to be".

i re-read it after someone posted to it and brought it back on active topics and it was kind of prophetic in a way ... well, i had the 5 years part right if nothing else:.

it would be nice to visit the site (or whatever one is around then) in 5 years time to let people know how we're doing and find only a few of the same people still around.

This Site IS AMAZING!!!! Thank you Simon for all you do! You will never know how much you have helped!

new bethel entrants introduction to the governing body circa 1985. two new bethel boys at watchtower headquarters somehow managed to videotape this introduction to the brooklyn bethel headquarters of the governing body off of the bethel tv screen.

The Blood muddle

by leo999 in

i could do with some help to sort out this fraction muddle .we are inactive and of the conscious class , but trying to help others see the 'light' in whatever ways we can .. a couple of years ago , i asked an elder about the fractions , questioning particularly the 33% hemoglobin allowed in the 06 km insert .

when i was a wee girl growing up , nothing of any part was allowed and we were fanatical to even write manufacturers and question their ingredients !!.

i would like to have a list of allowable fractions according to the societies current light , and also what fractions are not allowed .

HI TD, there is soooo much about this religion that lingers on and on. I am 30 some thing and I have never met a group of people as un vacccinated as JW's. I had none untill well into my 20's.....and yes the reasoning was muddled. Somewhere between, blood, and how can posion be good for you? There is soo much that stays in the minds of some of the older ones that effect our lives soooo much latter. I also think it has to do with different regions, and the power players there....and their mind set.

As Ever...I may not be free but my mind is.....
