  Do You Think Many Engaged JW Couples Fooled Around B4 Marriage?

  by minimus in

  when i was an elder, i had a few couples approach me to confess that they either played around or went all the way.. i suspect there were many more that did not admit to it, though..

  You do not owe them anything. Tell them not to concern themselves with you anylonger and close the door or hang up, whichever the case may be.

  How I recently handled JWs at my door

  by Christian guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jws stopped by my house a couple weeks ago on a saturday morning.

  i knew that with others most likely waiting for them out in the car they probably did not then have much time to engage in any serious conversation.

  so i let them talk while i feigned interest in what they had to say.

  Watchtower admonitions against unofficial pro-JW websites

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a friend of mine asked, "do you recall a watchtower or km that said the jw's are not suppose to read, or post information in defense of the watchtower on their own personal website or anyone elses website?".

  of course, there is the july 15, 2011 watchtower: what is involved in avoiding false teachers?

  we do not receive them into our homes or greet them.

  after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.

  thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.

  i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.

  Eventhough I think it is a huge mistake to go back to a cultish lifestyle, I wish SBF the best and will certainly look forward to the day he will surely return.

  "Have a good day" is about the only thing they could say. They are indeed a cult but won't admit it.

  7 things we probably should not stop thinking about

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  believe what we will, we still live in the real world and what happens to us proceeds from confrontations unavoidable.. the christian scientist can die from an illness which (to him) does not exist.. the hindu can starve to death in a pasture full of sacred cattle.. the jehovah's witness can sell his house and pioneer full time as he tears the pages from his 1975 calendar in exasperation.. and many is the parent who prays for mercy over the child who dies.. to think or not think is our choice.

  the content of our thought can be real or illusory.

  the progress report comes at the end of each day as we lie in bed and count the costs of our beliefs.. .
