Tell Us About Your JW Father If You Had One.
by new boy in
1. jw
2. friends
we are great friends now....but he wasn't much of a father growing up.. worked all the time...we went on few vacations....pretty much pussy whipped my my nazis jw mother.. he never did believe in the whole jw thing.

he just when along with it, for my mothers sake.. she never did respect him for not being a "spiritual head" and pretty much let us kids know about it.. i, like my mother became very self rightious and judgmental.. i wished now he had just came to me just once and said "keith maybe the jws are not the people you think they are.

" but he was to afraid of my mother to say that...even though he knew it to be true.i would have never believed him....back then....but it would have planted a seed.... .

okay so we're still a good seven years away but before they know it the watchtower will have to deal with all those centennials, the 100 year anniversaries they hoped and prayed would never come around.. how do you suppose they'll handle it?

Have you ever had a prayer answered?
by nicolaou in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
prayer topics seem to be the bandwagon of the moment so i'm jumping on!

seriously, has anyone here asked for something specific in prayer and actually gotten what they asked for?

what convinces you that you wouldn't have got it in any case?

JWs and Nazis in WW II
by robhic in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
i know there is considerable info on jws and the nazis during wwii.

i happen to be reading a book on "auschwitz" and other nazi death camps.

i wasn't looking for this but found it interesting.. heidrich himmler (sp) (i believe he was hitler's #1 death-camp officer) thought using jws for servants in the living quarters of the german ss troops manning the camps was a good idea.
