  Are the 8 superstar Popes planning a purge?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are over 8 million jdubs and i would venture a guess that at least 20% to 30% are pimo.

  in my opinion, the kingdom hauls are only half full for two reasons....many have left but the majority are pimo and any little excuse will keep them home and they will report their token ghost hours in service.

  all it takes to stay home is being tired, too much school homework or i will go next week, no doubt many have taken part-time jobs and the fear of working the second shift and the guilt of missing meetings is gone.

  Nephew’s JW Fiancée Begins Conversion to Judaism Due to Passover Date

  by Rabbi Midge in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it’s been a while since i posted, but for those who remember, i came on here to get some information about jehovah’s witnesses because i have a nephew who was getting engaged to a girl who was a jehovah’s witness and, along with some other sites, i was recommended this one.. since then we’ve been busy with passover and jehovah’s witnesses have had something they call the memorial of christ’s death (i believe i have that right).

  this clashing of the two observances apparently did more for this girl than anything else i ever saw in our months of conversations with her.. respectfully, jews do not proselytize.

  these are people who, of their own desire, “join the tribe” after some years of study and practice--something this girl has just begun to do.

  An honest look at the situation

  by Formerbrother in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was brought up in the truth.

  i saw a lot unchristian things going on in my local body of elders, my dad was an elder and waiting outside elders meetings to go home with my mum and other wives, we sometimes heard raised voices in the 2nd school.

  the other mums would raise their voices as well thinking of something to say to hide the elders 'private' arguments.. my dad hated it all, i think he hated having to keep things secret from my mum and me.. anyway, i got baptised, and as we did back then didnt think about further education but instead pioneered.

  We are giving too much power to the watchtower

  by sinboi in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am just 17. many of you here are much older than me.. i do feel that offering advice here is like teaching my father how to fuck.

  but seriously, i do see the problem here.

  we are focusing more on the problem than the solution.. i have been reading mind power books for quite some time.

  JWs and daily Bible reading schedule

  by AuntBee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws often point to this, to show outsiders they are allowed to read the bible on their own without the publications.

  although, as we know, the org still teaches that you will never progress along the road to life without the pubs.

  and, i would imagine that what they learn/conclude from their own bible reading, must remain within the confines of current wt teaching, even on the most minute points of doctrine.

  non jehovah witness dinner

  by whatisthis12 in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  so almost two weeks ago, my boyfriend(who was disfellowshiped) went to the memorial.

  he hasn’t spoken to his parents, friends, or siblings for over a year because of it.

  the only person he keeps in contact with is his grandma, which is who he went along with.
