Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?

by minimus in

friends

i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.

once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

after seeing tiger woods mug shot the idea hit me, a makeup artist for the famous and rich...i have never seen a mug shot of someone who didn't look like, well you know..weekends you camp out around the police station and charge 20-30 bucks to clean up arrestee(you the makeup artist) before taking their mug shot..i'am sure tiger would have paid big bucks.

i have never taken a mug shot but why don't they offer the folks a mirror......of course you will need to make arrangement with the law but i think it's a good idea to make folks presentable.

i'am sure some folks are declared guilty by just looking at their mug shot..

Great idea James!

And when you get ready, maybe you can franchise to other horrible photo situations - such as drivers license pictures~

(For those not from the U.S. Julie Chen hosts a popular show called "Big Brother".)

Is there truth in religion

by bola in

i am asking this questions due to the teachings, beliefs and practices of different religions..

millie210

So many well presented thoughts above.

I can only add that religion must serve some type of purpose that is deemed necessary, for it to have survived among people in one form or another for so long now.

Contained within that "purpose" are some kernels that are "true". Enough that people gulp down the whole concept.

I wonder if this letter in any way ties in to their troubles with half quoting various reference materials from other authors?

last convention before global attack on witnesses

by Phoebe in

jw
friends

so it's not enough that i'm dealing with post traumatic stress/anxiety and panic attacks all related to my life as a jw (50 years baptized -- i stopped going a couple of months ago) at 3 a.m. i get an email from the other side of the world.

'you have to go to the convention.

bro sanderson says we must watch the news, things are happening.

Why do the Witnesses always forget their own timeline?

Before everything crashes there is supposed to be a cry of "peace and security"...

For people to be doing a shout out for peace and security there must actually be (at the very least) a widespread illusion of peace and security.

But no...the JWs rush from drama to dram declaring each one to be "IT".

It is very reminiscent of the fairy tale about Chicken Little and "the sky is falling" isnt it?

Hugs to you Phoebe and just have sympathy and a smile for the "alarm" generators in your life.

How do I quote on this site?

by Nevuela in

every time i've asked this in an existing thread, i've never gotten an answer, so forgive me for starting a new thread in order to ask again.

i simply cannot figure out how to quote someone with the standard yellow box.

i can copy/paste the quote, sure, but nothing i do makes it appear in a yellow box like everyone else.

millie210

Incognito
I add 3 blank lines (hit Enter 3 times) into the 'Have your say' box, before inserting a quote

Hey! It worked!

That is an amazing tip Incognito. Thanks
