  Why the hell do I feel like this suddenly?!?!

  by freshstart in

  2. friends

  today i saw a friend that is still a hardcore jw.

  she knows we're not going to meetings, but seemed pretty cool with it and was willing to have lunch with me, so i thought why not?

  she mentioned something about the convention coming up in a couple of weeks, and all of the sudden i got so nostalgic and felt like maybe i wanted to go.

  i see a few want to believe in the watchtower's view of bible prophecy, scriptural understandings and the view that the "anointed remnant" dispense the "spiritual food at the proper time".. how would you refute those views?.

  To garyneal and Others, Evidence that the anointed remnants represented by the GB were selected in 1919.

  1st evidence: the release of loyal jews from exile, made possible by the fall of babylon, foreshadowed the release in 1919 of anointed christians from spiritual exile.

  2nd evidence: that year marked the beginning of the period when the anointed remnants were released from a form of spiritual captivity to the ideas and practices of false religion.

  although having rejected such false teachings as the trinity and the immortal soul, they were still tainted by babylonish practices.

  to onthewayout, 00dad, cedars and other reknowned faders.

  reports have reached patterson that faders are much more dangerous than those disfellowshipped.

  their reasons for fading are no longer new to the gb.

  Has anyone gotten reinstated and faded as soon as they could ?

  by Pitchess Co-Gen in

  2. experiences

  i'm think about doing this trick to get reinstated, and quit.

  i have since moved 75 miles north of los angeles, so i'm not going back to the congregation that disfellowshipped me in the first place.

  i'm just doing this for my family.

  Why Some Suffer Spiritual Shipwreck

  by mankkeli in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this was taken from the 1999 wt, 7/15.. .

  when paul warned of experiencing shipwreck, he had in mind some who had thrust aside their good conscience and had lost their faith.

  (1 timothy 1:19) among them were hymenaeus and alexander who fell into apostasy, deviating from the truth and speaking abusively.

  2. experiences

  regular involvement in religious activities goes hand in hand with better physical health and a longer life, according to a statistical analysis of 42 independent studies published since 1977 that have addressed this issue, states science news.

  religious involvement, especially the public type, showed a statistically significant relationship to higher survival rates, the scientists say.

  several reasons have been proposed for the findingsthe shunning of risky behaviors, marital stability, less depression associated with matters beyond direct control, greater social contacts, and positive emotions and attitudes.
