  Were you always guilt-ridden?

  by MoeJoJoJo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you ever stop feeling constantly guilty while you were in the org?

  i never did, no matter how much i was doing as far as field service & meeting attendance it never felt like enough.

  i never felt like i was doing enough, ever; even though we were at all of the meetings faithfully, with three young children, which was no easy task.. .

  does anyone know what jw's have against girl scouts?

  my mother would never buy girl scout cookies and i was always taught to feel that joining the girl or boy scouts would be wrong but never knew why.. my daughter wants to join and i want to know what i can expect to hear from my jw family.

  Avoiding JWs

  by MoeJoJoJo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am so sick of being bothered by jws(we are inactive);every weekend we can count on someone from the hall stopping by either saturday or sunday.

  it makes me mad because i know they are counting time with me.

  a sister from the hall just called to see what is wrong, why we haven't been to meetings.

  Proxy for the Annual Meeting

  by MoeJoJoJo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remembered there was some discussion several months ago concerning the annual meeting when i came across this form attached in an old watchtower, dated september 1, 1935. i thought it might be of some interest to some here.

  notice in the instructions that "each person or company that has contributed $10.00 or more at one time to the work of the society is entitled to one vote for each $10.00 so contributed".. personally i thought it was interesting.

  thanks bitter mango for your help.. .

  ha!ha!

  thought that subject would get your attention.. i came across a scripture that i thought i would share while doing some research in the emphatic diaglott.

  matt 5:22 is rendered as "but i say to you, that every one being angry with his brother, shall be amenable to the judges: and whoever shall say to his brother, fool!

  Last night at the bookstudy...

  by MoeJoJoJo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought the box on page 152 of the creator book was interesting.. (the chapter is titled "a great teacher shows us the creator more clearly") the lesson was dealing with the sermon on the mount and the society says "here are some highlights that we can reap from this greatest sermon:".

  seven points were mentioned, among them were "how to be happy, how to cope with anxiety..." and they list the chapter and verse from the sermon to go along.. the one point that caught my eye was "how to recognize religious fraud" and the scriptures for that point were matt.

  and matt.7:15-23 which warns us about false prophets.

  2. friends

  before i became a registered poster here, i was reading someone's post that mentioned an upcoming dateline program that was possibly dealing with the org.

  can someone tell me if this is true and if it is when does it air, or did i already miss it?.
