  What is the biggest regret or source of resentment because of being a Jehovahs Witness?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  i'm sure we could all write long paragraphs about this question, but in a few words, what is your biggest regret, or frustration in life due to being a witness?.

  what missed opportunities did it cost you?

  i think the biggest source of regret is simply that i had to leave after a half a life time of putting kingdom interests first and going without for nothing and i couldn't go back even if i wanted to because i can't join in the preaching. i tried.

  Who is the biggest Loser JW you have known

  it seems every cong seems to have some guy who is 35 and never had a job or moved out of mom and dads basement.. i knew a guy who just hand out magazines at work so he would get eventually fired and could sleep in till noon everyday.

  of course his elder father though he was a real matyr cause he kept losing jobs for jehovah.

  i have an electrican friend who apprenticed some jw kid till he got his ticket and he quit him to pioneering.

  What does the word love mean to you?

  by new hope and happiness in

  i mean maybe must be the most overly used word in the dictionary.

  my kid went out to play today and as he left the door he said " love you" and i loved that.

  but only yesterday i said i would " love" a cup of coffee.. yea we use the word " love" so often.

  How the organization can survive and thrive in the 21st Century

  let's face it.

  after 2014 comes and goes uneventfully, reality will hit hard for many.

  the organization will fall apart and apathy, inactivity and bitterness will rule.

  the elder i spoke to recently said it didn't matter if there was a twenty year difference. he was an intelligent man.

  THE PROBLEM with reading the Bible literally is . . . you can't think too hard

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i want to begin with a quotation by stephen colbert: "we're not talking about truth, we're talking about something that seems like truth the truth we want to exist" - stephen colbert on the origin of the word "truthiness.".

  moses brought 10 plagues upon egypt to change pharoah's mind about letting jehovah's people go.. the 5th plague is to destroy only the egyptian livestock:.

  6 and the next day the lord did it: all the livestock of the egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the israelites died.. a few days later the 7th plague is described:.

  Do you think the nepotism and favoritism will stop with the appointing of elders with the new arrangement?

  by toto555 in

  2. beliefs

  do you think this is a fairer system and brothers who have never gotten a chance at being elder will finally get it since it's up to the co to decide?

  how do you think that's going to work?

  do you think the favoritism will go away or be marginalized?.

  Do you think it's rude or disrespectful to be in the bathroom for any reason while the brother is praying?

  by toto555 in

  i had a publisher tell me this recently that she felt that it showed disrespectful to the brother up there giving the prayer, like you're ignoring him or something.

  what do you think?

  and if so, any bible scripture or watchtower or awake backing this idea up specifically?.

  No. I was often outside or out of the main hall. I had my reasons.
