PONDER THAT sometime in the still hours before sunrise.....

jehovah's witnesses are taught that they are engaged in a life-saving work.

in the louvre is a special vault with 15 miles of shelves containing medical treatises, cures, treatments, speculations, procedures from time immemorial.

now the fascinating aspect of all these state-of-the-art manuals and documents is that they are scientifically bogus!.

today's study picks on the most vulnerable among us.

the mentally ill. .

the watchtower apparently hasn't learned that depression and mental illness are that a medical condition.

A thread for those who have no support system or a place to go due to shunning.

reading the recent thread about the young lady who just ended her life got me thinking that maybe there could be a thread that is easily accessible to anyone who may need help due to homelessness from losing their families and friends to shunning.

too often i hear stories about people who have lost everything, and have no where to go, and at the same time having no type of support system.

unfortunately there are some who are so lost that they feel that there are no options besides taking their own life.. i think that a website that matches people in need to others who can help in some way would be a great idea.

By What Authority?
by Orthodox1 in
1. jw
2. friends
the jws, catholics, mormons, and a handful of others say they are the "true church" or what jesus originally intended.

i know jws call themselves the "true christians".

by what authority - outside of the bible, since 41,000 denominations use the bible to back up their individual beliefs - can jws make this claim?

Why I truly come in!

hello everyone.... i would honestly like to share why i come to this site when i am able to.. i too, like many here spent my whole life inside the wt along with my husband who was born in.

(i was 6) we have raised three wonderful sons now 27, 23, 21 who the youngest was almost 7 when we left and we were disfellowshipped.

(for so-called apostacy of course)and since then all of us partake of the christ by eating and drinking the manna and his blood.

How do I hear/feel God?
by doinmypart in
1. jw
2. friends
this is a serious question.. i know people that hear/feel god (and see postings about people's experiences), but i have not experienced this.

i have never heard anything audibly (or otherwise) nor "felt" anything inwardly.. i've prayed, read, quieted my thoughts, etc...but still nothing..

Choosing which world you live in
by Terry in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
we have chosen the world we live in......inside our thoughts.

the physical location of us is practically (not entirely) irrelevant.. we have selected certain thoughts to regard as....... unthinkable and ignorable.. we have cherry-picked importance like a salad bar.

we leave behind most of reality and head to the dinner table.
