DON'T SAY THIS WHEN YOU ARE PRAYING!!!!
by brotherdan in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i was recently talking with my good friend ding via pm on jwn, and the subject of legalism in prayer came up.

ding has much experience with jehovah's witnesses.

he was never one himself, so i get to teach him some things about the organization that he occasionally does not know.

Open relationships, polyamory and swinging
by techdotcom in
1. social
2. relationships
has anyone else, after leaving the restrictive rules of the jw world, tried having an open marriage, joining the 'lifestyle' of the swinger comunity?

we've been doing that for about 4-5 months now and it's been an interesting experience, in fact it's been a major distraction from the hell of rebuilding our lives outside the religion and our base of friends.

The Writing Department's use of "Exclamation Points". Anybody else find their use cheesy? Or motivating possibly?

something i've been meaning to ask for a while since coming here, is wsup with the writing department's use of exclamation points?

i'm no literature buff or anything, but to me personally, the exclamation points cheapen whatever they're trying to get across.

here's some examples from the new jeremiah book.. how thankful we can be for the teaching done by christian shepherds!.

Assembly/Convention Rules
by IMHO in
1. jw
2. friends
just been reading the resurrected topic "remember when assemblies were fun".. bought back some good memories particularly regarding the 'holiday camps'.. i was going to add this but decided it warranted it's own topic.. the 'good times' have been replaced by incessant rules.

here is a selection from the last circuit assembly i attended.

please feel free to add to the list.. .

How will anyone know when the "Great Tribulation" begins?
by foolsparadise in
1. jw

will there be an announcment on the world news saying " a great tribulation has begun in the world" or will the gb send a letter to all the kh's to scare the piss out of everybody saying "we the gb being gods chosen channel of communication have decided that the world's situation seems dire and are pleased to tell you that the great tribulation has started!".

obviously the world has been in a great tribulation since the time of jesus.

great tribulation does not mean some event that has to happen all at once all of a sudden.

was visiting this week and related the following account:.
