  Only Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Yvonne A in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm just new to this internet stuff and am studying with the jehovah's witnesses at present.please don't take my lack of knowledge as cheek.

  i just want to know if it's meant to be only jehovah's witnesses using this site.

  i fully intend to become baptised but was wondering if there's any security to prevent people who shouldn't be using the site and are maybe abusing it from doing so.

  A question about baptism

  by fairchild in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this might sound silly, but it is something that bothers me.. for the longest time i had the desire to be baptized as a jw.

  recently, after joining this forum and doing a lot of reading around here, i have come to understand that there is a difference between being loyal to jehovah and being loyal to the wts.

  if i don't join the wts, then i will never get baptized, but people in the bible clearly got baptized.

  "This brings up the question if a woman could baptize?"
  
  I do not why not, there ARE female preachers and ministers who do it all the time. God does not care, only the male species of humans seem to raise such a fuss about 'headship'.

  Intro from new member

  by lespacino1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this site was recommended to me by someone on another ex-jw site i began frequenting recently.

  anyway, i am an ex-jw who has been disfellowshipped for about 7 years now.

  i was raised as a jw from the age of 4, didnt take to it until i was befriended by a pioneer who was an elder's wife, and she began a bible study with me because my mom ddnt have time to have bible studies with all of my siblings and me, there are 10 of us.

  My situation

  by The Grand Poobah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  about the begginning of last year i was just getting out of depression, and was having serious doubts about "the truth" seeing how i was never really involved in it i felt as though it didnt help me through my depression.

  i currently am 18 and still live with my parents who are still going to meetings.

  i go with them to the meetings when i am not working, but i am going mostly for them, and i dont think they know that i am even slightly interested in the religion(i am not even baptised).

  72% Voter Turnout in Iraq

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the voter turnout for the 2004 us presidential election was 60.7% (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/a10492-2005jan14.html).

  despite being threatened by terrorists, iraq's voter turnout was much greater than the last us voter turnout!

  i'd say it was a far greater success than expected!

  Another Death due to blood refusal

  by Hondo in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  did anyone watch the medical reality show, "critical hour", about a week ago?

  for those that have never watched it before it follows the first few hours of emergency treatment of actual victims of car accidents, gun shot wounds, normal accidents, etc.

  one of the victims of the show of a week or so ago was a elderly woman (70+), and a jehovah witenss.

  It may be a good idea to have many small portions of WO on several servers with several ppl in charge of their own small part - but with only one central index page with only links to all of this information. That way the 'demonz' will have a hard time shutting it ALL down. If one small site closes, another identical one could be set up again by someone else.
