  Do You Remember The First Time You Looked At "Apostate" Material?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was always fascinated by it.

  as a kid, i used to go to the local library and secretly read books by so called apostates.

  later, i would sneak into christian book stores and quickly buy a book or two.

  I'm interested in the arts

  What is peculiar to me, however, is that active JWs I know through social media and in person are actively involved in literature, music, art, dance, sports events, etc. They talk about the above, they participate in it.

  I never met any
  

  This afternoon I sat in front of a log fire with a glass or two of wine in a very old house chatting about art and artists with a customer of mine. I never had anything like that as a Witness.

  The book Insight on the Scriptures Vol. 2 (Watch Tower 1988) on page 1132. Under the heading ‘Walking in the Truth’ says this

  ‘The entire body of Christian teachings, which later became part of the written Word of God, is “the truth” or “the truth of the good news.” Adherence to this truth, ‘walking in it, is essential if an individual is to gain salvation.’

  page 987 Under the heading ‘Good News’

  ‘It includes all the truths about which Jesus spoke and the disciples wrote.’

  
  

  I would think it is the truth about JW good news

  First Born Syndrom? -

  by elderINewton in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it just me or does it seem like a large portion of first born children leave the "truth" or find ttatt?

  its weird for me, but of all the other people out i know (only about 20 ish) they are all first borns, and usually the wife is as well.

  just looking at this from a different lens and curious if others see the same.

  Would you kill for the org?.......YES I WOULD!

  by olongapo joe in

  so, a few years ago my jw parents, my non jw sister and her husband, and myself were discussing religion and jw beliefs.

  my parents of course defending the jw's, the rest of us, against jw's ( it may not have been specifically against jw's, maybe just religion in general) anyway, things are getting a little heated, and i finally ask my pops, if the watchtower bible and tract society told you to go out and start killing muslims, would you do it?

  yes i would, was his reply, to which i say, then your not any different than the radical muslims killing in the name of religion.

  Honestly, Did Jehovah's Witnesses Do Anything POSITIVE For You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised as a witness and am very thankful that i am out.

  having said that, i think my upbringing produced positive qualities in me.

  do you believe that anything positive came from your being a witness?

  Identity Theft

  this forum offers the stories of folks with as many variations as there are folks and a “great crowd” of lurkers whose stories may never be offered.

  i am an outsider with a broken heart for some insiders that i love more than they know.

  after reading nearly every “apostate” book ever written, lurking, being worn out searching the wt cd, i have come to an idea that i present for your appraisal..

  Would you have to leave to do that?

  Yes i think so as if you identify yourself as a JW you identify with the good news that they preach

  today's text:.

  monday, january 25. to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.—matt.

  25:40.. early in his discourse found in matthew chapters 24 and 25, jesus indicated that the sign of his presence would include a remarkable feature—the good news of the kingdom would “be preached in all the inhabited earth.” (matt.
