  DO NOT have children in this system!!

  by What Now? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  growing up, this is something that my other always told me.

  i've had several conversations with older sisters who have said that if they could do things over, they wouldn't have had children.

  other couples my own age are horrified at the thought of raising children in "this system".

  Scriptures that should be applied to the Watchtower Society

  by Igot2bme in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  2 tim.

  3:5-7 states: ....having a form of godly devotion but proving false to it's power and from these turn away.

  for from these arise men who slyly work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins and various desires, always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth.. .

  i notice mostly everyone at jwn was a "born-in".

  i actually chose to become a witness.

  i was born and raised jewish but by the time i was 15 i had lost interest in judaism and stopped practicing it.

  that's not my assertion... that quote belongs to "godrulz" who said it on a thread introducing a newbie.

  instead of hijacking that one, i thought i'd repeat here.. now, mr. godrulz... are you prepared to back that statement up with some proof?.

  hi- i just wanted to say that i have been checking the website out for a few weeks and have read some horror stories and some sad ones.

  but i have been studying with witnessess for about six months and can't help but feel that they're completely sincere and maybe even, the true religion.

  i love the watchtower and awake and to me, none of that seems crazy.

  Do you think the British are a proud nation?

  by not bitter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think we are to a degree but i think its on a different level to the americans.

  the impression i get (from watching us tv and news) is that the majority of americans come across as being proud to be american and quite a possitive nation.

  whereas us brits will display pride as a nation when we have to.

  Perversion of Baptismal Vows

  by AlanF in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an appendix in the book contains some 120 questions along with hundreds of scriptural "proof texts" that the proselyte is then expected to study.

  12 jesus commanded his followers to baptize new disciples in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit.

  the following quotation shows what the proselyte is expected to study just prior to baptism:.
