  Not if, but when...

  by teejay in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised in the truth.. it was about six weeks past my fifth birthday when my mother was contacted by "jehovah's people" and a few months short of my sixth when she got baptized a half year later.

  that was the summer of 1962.. because of my experience with the truth from such an innocent age when thought patterns were first being formed, one of the tricks that was played on me one of the lies that was passed along is that some of those of my generation happened to be among the most fortunate of all of mankind since some of us would never die.

  if i did my best; if i tried hard enough and did everything that was within my power to do; if i found favor with the most high god, i might well be one of those who'd never taste death at all but live right through this world's end into a global paradise.

  The JW religion or the person, whose fault is it?

  by larc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just read the tragic story of the man in chicago who beat his daughter to death.

  i have read stories here and on silentlambs about sexual abuse.. my question is: how much fault can be placed on the religion and how much on the perversions of a particular individual?

  i frankly don't know the answer to this question.

  Child abuse - Jehovah, Jesus, HS, and GB

  by Norm in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  there is one aspect that seems to be missing totally from the subject of child abuse.. the watchtower has up through the years told us time and time again how those 4, jehovah, jesus, holy spirit and the gb has appointed elders as gifts to the congregations of jehovah's witnesses.. back in the fifties, the watchtower society was very honest and open about who really appointed the watchtower elders:.

  *** jv 54 5 proclaiming the lord's return (1870-1914) ***.

  back then, it was customary for the congregations to vote each year for those who would preside among them.

  Breaking free of the OIL habit.

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dependancy: the usa, the western world, north and south america, and like many nations of europe and japan, are highly dependant on oil.

  i recall as a kid in the 1950s seeing gas prices at 5 cents a gallon.

  i remember my parents getting bent out of shape when gas finally reached 11 cents a gallon.. 1971: my wife and i traveled to southern california to visit friends and family.

  Mispronunciations at the meetings

  by TR in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  moxy raised a point in the "exaggeration" thread that aggravated me at the meetings.

  mispronunciations.

  moxy mentioned the word 'hyperbole' as frequently being mispronounced.. another one that bugged me was 'epitome'.

  Pets

  by kilroy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have noticed in a few posts lately that there have been negative articles concerning being owned by pets.

  the only bound volumes i have are 1991 through 1995 and the only things i can find in the index are a few snippets in watching the world except for an article in the 1/22/93 awake which was quite possitive.. the negatives that i read are that pets take time and money away from service to our dearly beloved printing society.

  can anyone give me some quotes?
