  .

  i wonder how many are still drawn to the beliefs but just don't believe the wtbts is jehovah's representative on earth and the only hope for mankind?.

  of course we know some are not correct like 607 bc and 1914 and 1975 etc.. breeze

  I think the hospitals are full of Witnesses willing to give up their lives for this belief. My daughters are nurses and they are talking about it all the time.

  Patients on their death bed and refusing to take blood, or in many cases they won't take substitutes that are OK.

  What has this board given to you?

  by Crumpet in

  having cooled down a bit in the garden i got to thinking about what this board has given me and wondered what anyone else feels they have gained from it.. for me its been invaluable and even life changing:.

  1) freedom from the brainwashing - when i came here i had already read ray franz's books and still believed it jws had the truth - hat i was basically worthless and that i would die at armageddon.

  the reasoned conversations and help of the posters from all over the world has enabled me to have freedom of thought - something i didnt even know i didnt have until i spent time here.. 2) friends who empathise and know from an experience what i have been through in a way outsiders can never possiby understand.. 3) entertainment - unbelievable laughs and moments of humour that have cheered me up so many times.. 4) association - via the aposta bbqs and telephone chats i can now have so i don't feel so isolated and to some extent alleviates the awful pain of separation from my loved family.. 5) information - from this board and posters here i have found out things that were my right to know but would never have learnt otherwise - my sisters marriage, my aunts tragic death.. 6) reunions - i have now met at least one person who knows me from my childhood and has grown into a man of such kindness and patience that i would have missed out on completely had he not been here and been kind enough to hold my hand - even when i've been an irritating totured little idiot!.

  what movie were these lines from?

  "chris knight: if you think that by threatening me you can get me to do what you want... well, that's where you're right.

  but - and i am only saying this because i care - there's a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing.

  i visited my jw son and daughter - who were raised in the faith - in may.

  my son is 37 years old, intelligent and is a hard worker and a good provider for his family.

  we were having breakfast when my daughter-in-law mentioned the ' lump' on my sons back.

  Thers is a lot of stupid people in the world. Vitamins etc., are meant to supplement your diet not replace it. A small part of the vitamin world has a dietary supplement that replaces one meal.

  Years ago there was a big diet movement in our congregation and my wife got involved and lost a lot of weight then there was a problem and the elder stopped doing it. I believe it was that the sisters were trying to replace their entire diet and not eat.

  Will there be a time when NO ONE will be able to become a JW anymore?

  by JH in

  1. jw

  .

  the witnesses always said that at some point in time, it will be too late to join, the doors will be closed.. do you believe that will happen, or is it just to scare the witnesses?

  and what would trigger the watchtower to decide, it's too late?

  My understanding was that the preaching work would end with the door to the ark being shut? The work would coinside with the end of opportunity to join in the org.

  It woul be very difficult to tell some one that they can't come in now, many witnesses would be attacked at the door. I am surprised that more violence isn't pointed at them.

  An elder just called me...just need some quick advice on how to handle it.

  by stillAwitness in

  hey guys,

  quick question: one of the elders just called me about a talk i am supposed to give tomorrow night.

  well its obvious he is not aware that i don't live at home anymore (he made the comment that he hasn't seen me in awhile but figures its cause of the recent district convention stuff) and for me to let him know either way wether or not i would be giving the talk.

  A lot of good advice here ....don't rush to call him, unless you want grief.

  The less you interchange with them the better.

  Do nothing.....just get on with your life and ignore them all.
