  If all the world were JWs....

  by Tornintwo in

  in my former indoctrinated state, i used to yearn for a time when all the world would be jws.

  but hang on minute, let's just think about what the world would be like if everyone was a jw,.

  first of all, no higher education, so no medical advances, no scientific research, no modern day medicine, infectious disease rife, no doctors, no engineers, so no modern day comforts.

  If you went back in time, would you be a god?

  by Simon in

  we just finished watching outlander which is about a woman who goes back in time ~200 years from the end of wwii.

  she ends up in the scottish highlands in the middle of the jacobite uprising.

  it's a great show although the last episodes were a little graphic (they make game of thrones seem like sesame street).. but it got me thinking ... if you went back in time would you in fact be the 'god' you may imagine because of your knowledge of modern technology and the future?.

  'Worldly' man looking for a little more understanding...

  by Verecocha in

  2. relationships

  saw similar title in a google search so thought i'd read more and now simply have to share my experience if anything to hear that i'm not insane and it is that simple.. met and fell madly in love with a witness, and her with me.

  what began as love at first sight turned into a 6 year relatiomship which simply ended very bluntly.

  there were many painful twists and turns along the way, first from her inability to leave her husband, then my mistake in finding someone else as i simply couldn't take the pain of her coming and going with such simplicity, but in the end she got a divorce and suffered many consequences within 'the truth', and i sorted my issues which were many and admittedly dug with my own hands and stupidity in trying to protect a young girl who had done no wrong in this long affair.. eventually we found ourself on what i believed to be the home straight.

  hey, my first post started with 'my story isn't complete' the final chapter has now been written.

  including a very flamboyant 'the end' to boot!

  i'm pretty sure there won't be a sequel, i don't think my heart could take it.

  Is the term "worldly" outdated?

  by A.proclaimer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yesterday i had to listen to the co from a spanish congregation on the phone.

  he said the fds has been gradually moving away from the word "worldly" and teaching jws not to use the term anymore.

  has anyone heard this in their congregation or heard the term "non-believers" used before?

  Where the real abuse lies.

  by ctrwtf in

  let me start with a disclaimer: i am in no way minimizing the horrific crimes done to children by pedophiles.

  i'm not downplaying the number of lives lost due to the blood issue, or hearts broken because of shunning.

  i do not want to discount the feelings of those who have come to the end of their lives with expectations of paradise postponed.. but to me the biggest atrocity committed by this awful cult is raising children from a small age to believe that soon god will kill billions of people.

  Why does Antoine Leiris' powerful tribute to his wife, killed by ISIS in the Paris attacks, bother me so much?

  by nicolaou in

  here is the translation of monsieur leiris' words;.

  friday night, you took an exceptional life - the love of my life, the mother of my son - but you will not have my hatred.

  i don't know who you are and i don't want to know, you are dead souls.

  Please could you give me your opinions on this statement? . . .

  by Miss Worldly in

  'i have prayed, and confessed my sins to my god, i'm not telling them (the elders) anything'.

  .. could this be a significant sign that there maybe a small dent in the armour of an active jw?

  or is it just a case of 'keep your nose out' ?
