  Did you like the Society's calendars?

  by JimmyPage in

  i always thought they were the most boring things i'd ever seen.

  a picture of someone preaching in a different land every month.. i always ended up hanging something far more entertaining, like an nfl calendar..

  LOL @ YNOT!!! Teee heee It always bothered me that to be a good JW you NEED a large personal calander/day planner to record all of the RV's Hours Placements Studies Service CO Visits SAD's DA's ect ect ect. However the "calander" that is not "FREE" has no room to schedule a dentist apt on it. And so you donate for the rag...and then you have to buy an aftermarket unspiritual day planner to fill. LOL this year I have a beautiful day planner from Christain Art Publishers very nice and very upliftling!

  Why I Like the "Proclaimers" Book

  by t33ap80c in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while it is true that the "proclaimers" book is not always as open and honest about the society's history as it claims to be, it is open and honest enough to bring into question the society claim to being god's organization.

  it's a matter of (1) knowing what to look for, (2) where to find it and then, (3) to be able get the sense of what it means.. take for example the extremely important matter of the second coming of christ.... on the top of page 47 the book truthfully explains how president charles russell came to believe that jesus returned invisibly in 1874 to begin his second coming ("invisible presence").

  and then a careful reading of the footnote on page 133 shows that the date of jesus' return was not changed to 1914 until 1943.. it is likely that even if some witnesses notice that fact, they do not get the sense of what it means.

  1947 Awake Says Excommunication is Unbiblical and Pagan!

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  january 8, 1947 awake!:.

  excommunication is "altogether foreign to biblical teachings.".

  it's an unbiblical roman catholic teaching by which "you are looked upon with the blackest contempt... being cursed and damned with the devil and his angels.".

  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.

  Hi!

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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.

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

  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.
