  Does the society assign circuit overseers based on their personalities?

  by hoser in

  2. beliefs

  the reason i am asking is that lately i've noticed a trend.

  we get a real good down to earth guy who is easy to work with and we get used to his way.

  of doing things and then 3 years later we get a self righteous abusive a$$hole that thinks he is above all.

  What's The Biggest Difference In Today's JWs And The Witnesses From Decades Ago?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe today's witnesses lack zeal, resolve, "love" of the "truth"......just to name a few things.. years ago, witnesses were excited to knock on doors and tell people they were gonna die if they didn't accept paradise.. now, when you see jws in service, they all look zombied out.. it's a slowly dying religion that will last probably forever like an ancient rotted out tree..

  Mass defection possible?

  by stuckinamovement in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are many of us who are trapped within the religion and are looking at leaving.

  i was wondering..... if there was an organized and well publicized effort to leave the organization en-masse on a certain date yet to be determined, how many do you think would participate?.

  one person leaves the org and it creates a small ripple.

  Special day Last talk "No formula"

  by MommieTiger in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this weekend at our special assembly day, let gods will take place the final talk was a head shaker.... the bethel speaker was quite entertaining when he joked @ the shortcomings of the elders.

  he also made us laugh with the comment "we were told the end of the system is right around the corner, but we've found its been more than that, we've been around the blocks a few times.

  " he told the young ones to make the truth their own by researching in the wtbts publication (only).

  JW's Thoughts on Medical Cannabis

  by bushido8000 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've wondered this for sometime.

  to all of the jws on the forum, what is your opinion on medical cannabis?

  i support it for a couple of reasons.. 1. i've battled clinical depression since age 9. after my anti-depressants stopped working when i was 21, i heard about cannabis' positive effects on depression through the internet and a couple of documentaries so i tried it.
