  The Jehovah's Witness Definition of the Word "Soon"

  by God_Delusion in

  howdy guys and gals!.

  forget the word "generation", the watchtower society has completely spun another word - "soon".. how many times did you (do you) hear jehovah's witnesses tell each other "the end is coming soon"?.

  i talk about this word spin in our latest article - the jehovah's witness definition of "soon" - http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/jehovahs-witness-beliefs/jehovahs-witness-definition-of-soon/.

  Thats funny, I used to joke with my GF about how when I said i'd do something soon I meant not for a long time and if I said very soon that meant never.

  Now I know where I got it.

  Interracial Marriage

  by Quendi in

  here is a question i want to pose because i do not know the correct answer.

  i have seen many interracial married couples among jehovah's witnesses--moreso than i have seen in other religions.

  however, i have been told that once upon a time, interracial marriage was frowned upon by the wts hierarchy.

  Is it just me or was it alway more acceptable for a white guy to marry an asian woman?

  My first GF after leaving was black. Maybe it was some sort of rebellion.

  Hospitality after Public Talk - ???

  by RubaDub in

  1. watchtower

  i see a lot of mentions about hospitality after the public talk and honestly, i guess it is a practice that was not in the ny/ct area i grew up in or here in south florida today.. i grew up with an elder father and grandfather who gave public talks and were generally well-liked.

  as a child, i never recall being invited to someone's house after the meeting.

  granted, it was rare to travel more than an hour but regardless, it was typical to get in the car and head home after the "amens.

  I remember going to martha's vineyard with my friends dad and someone put us up for the weekend. Other than that I don't remember anything at our hall or places I went with my father. My dad's unsocial nature may have had something to do with that though.

  Higher Education - is it that risky?

  I'd say Mormons prove it isn't all that risky
  
  But...
  
  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Wednesday their annual report on health in the United States where statistics showed that, on average, 25-year-olds who received a bachelor's degree had a life expectancy almost nine years longer than those who did not have a high school diploma.
  
  So by denying them college education they are actually shortening their life span.

  They prey on the depressed. You feel happy for a while because of the love bombing. So you sign up. Then you fall back into the depression which makes it hard to leave.

  i've been involved with the witnessess since 1976. my ex-wife was a baptised sister who fell in with the wrong crowd and left the fruth when she should have been disfellowshipped.

  thats another story.

  after returning home in 1980 from working in the u.s. navy, i contacked her parents and in 1982 started studying for ernest.

  What if you had something on your chin that was more offensive than a beard such as a swastika tatoo? Would they bend the rules for that? Can men wear makeup to cover it over?

  Speaking of tatoos, I don't remember seeing many JWs with them. Has that changed since the tatoo craze started?

  And I'm not talking born in dubs.

  What was the 2012 convention drama all about?

  by What Now? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with all of the hype surrounding sparlock ... i didn't see anyone post anything about the sunday drama at the convention.. my husband and i decided that we were only going to attend the sunday of the convention.

  we drove down, but got cold feet and we ended up going out for coffee and hitting up the local shopping mall, heading over to the convention for lunch to show our faces, then taking off home for the afternoon.

  it was a good day ;).
