  I need your help to get out

  2. beliefs

  i'm using google translate, my native language is spanish .

  hola, esta es mi primera publicación en este sitio.

  tengo 22 años, me dediqué a jehová y lo que creo que fue la organización de él a los 18 años.. ai am currently inactive in spiritual activities, which led me to wonder and question if the watchtower has the truth.

  I agree with punkofnice. We don't need to convince them of anything at the risk of being shunned and treated like dirt. Talk to your mother about anything you like, of course, but she's the only one who should matter to you.

  I don't know if JWfacts is translated into Spanish. If you can find a translator, maybe you could post it in Spanish.

  Best wishes with your journey to freedom/libertad.

  Had to laugh.

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had to laugh.. i bumped into a friend who has started going back to the meetings and who has that enthusiastic arm-waving way of talking about the stuff they're hearing from the platform.. in part he's wittering on about some talk they'd had about king david and all of his ups and downs.

  and says, "and as the speaker emphasized over and over again, we can imitate david because he was a man just like ourselves.".

  " i finally interrupted.. that shut him up.

  Stating the facts will always shut them up or put them into an interminable defensive argument mode.

  Arthritis pain. What works for you?

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  there are several prescription meds people use to relieve the pain of arthritis.

  they work by suppressing the immune system or by reducing inflammation.

  people also use otc anti-inflammatory pills, and even anti-allergy pills are reported to work because of being able to also reduce inflammation but people tell me that they are concerned to use some meds regularly because of potential side effects in long term use.

  Have you tried moringa leaf powder? See the YouTube videos by Big Family Homestead for more information. The guy in the video claims to have cured rheumatoid arthritis and saved thousands of dollars by using moringa.

  Lifetime Regret for Not Expressing my Love to a Non-JW

  by a-JW-girl in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i want to impart some advice from my life experience that i hope will help others in a similar situation and prevent them from making the same mistakes i did, ruining my life.

  to begin with, i’m a 52-year-old single woman, i’ve been a devout jw since i was a little girl.

  i had an abusive dad who left my mom, my two sisters and me when we were fairly young.

  I find this story similar to the one of Princess Margaret and Peter Townsend. If you don't know about it, look it up. I once had a similar fantasy about a worldly guy I was in love with, but he lived on the wild side. I pined about it for years, but I came to realize that, though there was a strong attraction, we were really incompatible.

  It's "dual," not "duel" world power. A duel is a challenge to risk one's life for a foolish reason, something men used to do.

  No part of the world

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt calls itself christian while at the same time insisting that its witnesses don't mix with other christian groups but remain separate.. to be no part of the world.. i was mulling this over recently in my personal bible reading.

  in the first century that demarcation would have made sense because apart from your fellow worshippers the rest of mankind were going to be jewish, roman, polytheistic, pagan, or (i guess much like today) didn't really care.. christians had no worries about meeting up with other people who believed in jesus the same as they did even if there were minor differences depending on who had first taught the gospel message to them.

  but nowadays there's not just one christian group against the world, there's lots of "christians" out there.

  You said it, punkofnice. A real religion is concerned about more than recruiting new members. They use some of their money to provide for the needy.

  Hello, noni. I don't remember you, but I rarely post anymore either. I offer my sympathies.

  When my mother died, several years ago, I felt similarly to you. We had had a not-so-warm relationship. Strangely, after she died, I saw her in a dream. In the dream, she was young and beautiful and was wearing a white robe and was glowing. I was fascinated because I knew she was dead. She then turned to the wall, put her forehead against her raised forearm, and cried and cried. It was a very vivid dream, and I can't forget it. In the dream, I started walking toward her to ask what she was so upset about, and I then woke up without getting to talk to her. Somehow, I think she was really there, and really sorry about our almost constant conflict.

  I felt very sorry about the queen's death, too, but, after all, she was 96 years old. I considered her a gracious and humble person, given that she had such a privileged life.

  Best wishes.

  Did the Watchtower Society ban Vaccinations and Organ Transplants?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  an avid wts supporter writes:.

  re: vaccinations: vaccinations have never been banned.

  if they were, then no representative of the wts would have been allowed to travel overseas when vaccines were compulsory around 1920 when vaccines was regularly in the news, there was both positive and negative information printed in the golden age (forerunner of the awake) but not from the staff writers, but from out side sources of article by medical doctors at the time and others that responded to those articles.. re: organ transplants: organ transplants were never forbidden by the society.

  I remember organ transplants being banned in the '70's and compared to cannibalism.

  Vaccinations were banned in the distant past (pre 1950's).

  Of course, to younger or newer JW's, none of this could have ever happened.
