  i was talking to the hubby over the weekend.

  i mentioned the fact that so much of what witnesses do seems to be driven by guilt.

  he said "yes, that's because they have a conscience.

  Visiting a KH...

  by ianao in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a 'friend' of mine keeps telling me that everything i am reading here on this board is a packload of lies from people who have no respect for god.. he also tells me that if i would just go to the kh for once, that i would see for myself that jws are not the bad people that they are portrayed to be.. while i have my own convictions about this subject, i was curious to know what others' opinions would be on the fruitfullness of taking up this man's offer and going to the kh to see for myself.

  so, what do you think?

  what should i watch out for?

  Living A Lie

  by MoodyBlue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am sick of living a lie, yet afraid to change it.

  married to a man who refuses to listen, who would rather plug his ears and shout "nooooooo" is taking it's tole.

  i am afraid to speak my mind about my doubt, my thoughts, and what i'm learning, as i'm not ready to cross that point of no return.

  Good ol' 1914

  by MoodyBlue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok folks...i'm actually gonna stop lurking and post.... i am currently being 'studied' with to rectify my doubts (i'm baptized but considered inactive) i brought up the 607/1914 thing and the sister said she'd research it and get back to me... she didn't know about the 587 date (surprise surprise).

  anyway she came back to me saying something about just having to count back 70 years or something and voila!

  it was that simple... she also said the society had prophesied about 1914 being the end of the gentile times.... now i know that ain't so...there was prophecy yes, but it but it wasn't until after 1914 that the horn blowing started about the correctness of the date... 1874 immediately sprang to mind.

  Witnet Refugee

  by Prisca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  those of you familar with witnesses.net may have seen me around the site, i've been posting there since early last year, and recently i was a moderator for a short time, before its sudden closure.. i was raised in the truth, daughter of a one-time elder and am a third generation jw.

  i have seen a lot of changes in the society, some for the better, many for the worse.. i am now inactive, have not been to a meeting since the memorial earlier this year and not been in active witnessing since january 99.. so i am more out than in, though i have a few family members that are still witnesses, so i try not to put myself in the situation where i could be df'd.

  (easy, avoid the elders!

  it's nice to find a site where free speech is cool.... looking forward to meeting all of u:)
