  JW Grammar is...

  by jw07 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  *we are all from different cultural and educational backgrounds, we all experience different circumstances in life, and i don't mean to offend anyone on this forum in any way.*.

  with that said here are my observations, and i want to know what you have observed.. in my experience i have noticed a trend: zealous witnessestend to exhibit the worst grammar when compared to non-witnesses!.

  i want you to think back, or check it out for yourself if you haven't noticed it.. on social networks: compare comments on anything by jws (especially the uber-zealous ones) with those of your atheist or other religiously affiliated friends.

  Having just read '' facebook comments'', a slightly earlier thread by zound, ( and frankly, I was surprised ).

  I must agree with you.

  Does Almighty God think about......... ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  almighty god must have had a lot of time for thinking, so he must have sat there, at least once and thought along the lines of:.

  "i wonder if i am actually almighty god, or is there something or someone greater than me ?".

  "how can i know i have always existed?".

  Nothing worst than a Thief!

  by Jomavrick in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had an expensive pen i carried with me at work, it had sentamental value because i purchased it with my wife in venice after a tortuous attempt to find a store that carried fine pens.

  last year it went missing, i was mortified that it just dissapeared and painstakingly retraced everything i did the previous day.

  i concluded it got left on the table at a business lunch i had the day before.

  I think that thefts at work are among the worst, as you almost always know the thief, passed him in the corridor, drank a coffee with him. etc

  by LouBelle in

  2. friends

  so we had the woman version.

  let it rip guys - what type of woman makes you just want to get her know her better - the one that makes you take that risk and walk on over to start a conversation?.

  The point seems to be that you are afraid that they might be right. Its normal to have that nagging doubt. But it goes away with the passing of time.Remember,cults prey on fear. Not one thing that the wt has predicted has ever come true. They are always modifying the party line in order to try and keep some credibility.

  But they have never ever been right. Proof enough that they are not god backed.

  The only thing a JW needs to know to be set free from their religion

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  billions of human beings right now are muslims, hindus, buddhists, etc, etc.

  they do not know a jot about 'jehovah' or the 'watchtower bible & tract society of new york" etc etc.

  what is going to happen to these billions of persons at armageddon?.

  Unfortunately the reasonning is this:

  jah knows their hearts.If he sees that they are looking for the truth he will see that they find it.

  Sorry, but they have an answer for everything.

  Off to the Doctor.

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in a couple of hours i'm going to the doctor - an intervention.

  i don't want to be a burdon to my mother, she has her own life to lead with her own responsibilities.

  i've always been able to take care of everything for myself.

  good luck loubelle.

  I'm sure you're on the right track.

  It's normal to be scared. When I had a bad spell,several years ago now, I reassured myself, thinking, this isn't going to go on all my life just the same.

  One day, I will get to the end of the tunnel.

  And I did. And you will too. Believe me. It sounds like you are a fighter by nature, dispite how you might feel just now.

  Again, good look.

  Were You Ever Interrogated By The Elders?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some elders enjoy giving the business to the lowly flock thru intimidation.

  .

  some love to ask you to enter with them into the "backroom".. of course, there were many that never had run-ins with the shepherds because they were under the radar.. did you ever get interrogatted by the elders and if so, how did it go??

  dazed:

  you speak of the backroom. That really is a universal expression in the borg isnt it?

  I hadnt thought about it before, but no matter where you go in the world, the elders drag you into the `backroom'

  Ours had an enormous window too, so everybody could see and wondered what you'd been up to.
