  Haha, I can imagine that, were they "Zeeuws" gereformeerd or something??

  I had to wear tweed trousers or pants, even to go to school!!! I don't know why even still visit them, my mother is still a witness, my father stopped, just like my brother, and my sister got disfellowshipped and reinstated agian.

  Do You Think The Society Will Ever Go Broke?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the local congregations have no money to pay their own bills and the numbers of witnesses continue to drop off, how will the society last?

  we've heard about down sizing and layoffs.

  we've seen congregations merge because the bills aren't getting paid.

  If they just would be more carefull in building.

  In Africa they just forgot a 800.000 dollar equipment and found out a year later.

  The DR branch took five years to be build which cost the brothers a 30.000 dollar a day.

  If they would sell the 34 objects they have in Brooklyn, can you imagine!!! And it is all paid for.

  i will be talking with a jw soon about the trinity.

  she tells me that she can use any translation to disprove the trinity and that jesus is not divine.

  i feel good about talking to her but i would love to know their plan.

  The point is: What prove do you have for the trinity (not the father and son) in the so-called new testament.??

  I investigated it ad fundum, discussed it with Calvinistics many many times and there is no prove.

  Dating, and JW Teenagers

  by NaomiB in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why do you think that there are such extreme rules regarding flirting and dating even within the walls of the organization?

  do you think there's some psychological reason?

  how does this benefit the ones at the top, or the hold on the rank and file?

  Lost in the dunes....

  by Vivamus in

  2. friends

  i got lost yesterday.

  after the funeral the entire family gathered at my grans house, close to the sea.

  seven of my cousins, my friend and me, decided to go for a little walk we were all still in our best suits for the funeral, some us wore high heels, but common sense does not rule in my family, and so we walked into this nature wilderness.
