  How Do You Feel About Jehovah's Witnesses???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  nearly everyone that posts here says mostly negative things about the witnesses.

  a few will speak of certain jw's that were helpful to them while they were going through difficulties.

  in the situation that you find yourself in now, do you feel that you hate jw's?

  I love Jehovah's Witnesses no more or less than anyone else of the human race, the only thing I hate is the organization that ruins their lives.

  I'm here!
  
  Yes, Brummie I was truly horrified at the Apostate shenanigans and have been repenting down the hall. I have been told by the presiding Overseer to say 20 hail Jaracz's to absolve my sin in associating with such people!

  2. bible

  i have been coming here for many months now; absorbing all the wonderful info given and reading ray franz's books, but i have never posted before.

  can anyone tell me the specific name and about a book that came out a few years ago, i guess at a convention about the jw's history?

  i think it starts out as "jehovah's witnesses and something, something" its a big green book...thats all the info i have on it.

  Hi lovinglife! The older Jehovah's Witness history book was also big and green. It was called "Jehovah's Witnesses in the Divine Purpose" and was released in the late 50's.

  My Job Interviews Today

  by Yizuman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, i arrived at mcdonalds and took the interview today at 4:30 pm est and the manager can only offer me 15 hrs a week for $6.00 an hr.

  which i think the pay is lower than what i am making from my unemployment benefits which is 141.00 a week after taxes.

  i'm gonna contact the unemployment office and ask if i can still continue to receive my benefits despite of the 15 hrs a week being offered.. then i went to mcl cafeteria for the interview and i explained to the manager at the begining that i am hearing-impaired which seemed to made him irk at me.

  How old do you feel?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some people look younger than their age and also feel younger than their age.

  and some people look and act older than their age.

  although i'm 43, i feel like 25. i do the same things and think the same way as i did then, but with a bit more experience which helps me not to repeat certain errors of life.

  JH, I think you've got it there. I'm always staying up too late, and I think lack of sleep ages you somewhat so I'd better keep that in check!
  
  Anyway, I've recently started a regime of drinking 2 litres of water a day, and I must say that's made me feel much healthier - it's true what they say. It does have an annoying side effect though....

  You're as old as the woman you feel, and so that makes me 26!
  
  Actually sometimes I feel more like 96, especially first thing in the morning!

  Why did your mom leave out the day's scripture?

  Extremely telling I think. She obviously cares more about the comments from the Watchtower Society than she does about the bible.

  Well, today's text is a doozy for Jehovah's Witnesses:

  He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelizers, some as shepherds and teachers. -- Ephesians 4:11.

  This is a difficult verse for many Witnesses to explain away. What's with the "some"? We are all teachers and evangelisers surely?

  It's the Awake magazine's responsibility to scare you to bits about everything in this world, then when they've got you crapping your pants the New System is mentioned where nobody will get mown over by crazed drunk drivers etc... The statistics in the magazine usually come from a reliable secular source but they tend to pick and choose them solely to make their point.
