Having Jehovah as a friend.
by Darkknight757 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i've always found it amazing that people can say with such conviction that jehovah is their friend.. we are talking about a "friend" who perhaps daily "tests" us to see if we are his friends.

all of us have dealt with some form of hardship such as the death of a loved one, chronic illness or whatever.

it is in these cases that the brothers will tell a person that perhaps it is a test, or that "jehovah knows you're not ready" or some other lame excuse.. do our real friends "test" us to see if we will be loyal to them?

General health after learning TTATT

1. social
2. physical
4 months ago i was conducting the watchtower study along with a long list of responsibilities that come with being an elder in a very goofy congregation.

during this time my health was going down hill.

i've always had a low blood pressure,(102/65 or abouts) but for the past year it had creeped up to 135/90 range.. so 2 months ago after learning ttatt, i'm still considered an elder because the brothers won't let me step down, but i haven't done anything in that time except comment once at a meeting a few weeks ago.

How do you tell your spouse you no longer believe in God?
by Darkknight757 in
1. jw
2. experiences
so i was hoping to get some insight on this subject of telling your spouse that you no longer believe in god.

for two people who have been jehovahs witnesses for 20 years together, talking about this seems to be real hard for me.

i still pray with my wife before meals but that's about it.
Dnkjb authors

1. watchtower
2. bible
https://dnkjb.com.

so i came across a link on facebook today about this "divine name king james bible" but i can't seem to figure out who the publishers are?

the best i could see is that it could be j-dubs because they are "anonymous".. https://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120114090342aaoxuq8&p=divine%20name%20publishers.

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so i'm reading the book "the atheist book of bible stories" and something just occurred to me.. noahs ark rested on the top of mount ararat.

how the hell did all the land animals, dinosaurs and other monsters get to ground level?

did noah and his family just push them off the mountain and hope for the best?

Couldn't take it anymore.
by Darkknight757 in
1. jw
2. experiences
so i decided yesterday to give my wife's full disclosure.

not sure it was the best decision considering she holds very firmly to the resurrection hope so we can see our babies again.. anyways she is agreeable to begin a study to find a better truth.

where is a good place to go to get some good reliable biblical info on the web that we can consider together?.
