  why JWs doesn't celebrate birthday?

  by vientotz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm so curious, why they're not celebrating their birthdays?

  is it just because jesus don't celebrate it and it's not written in the bible that they celebrated the birthday of jesus?

  or is it written in the bible not to celebrate birthday?

  Sitting Still at Meetings has Become an Impossibility

  by venusinfauxfurs in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  since i know the truth about jw, and still have to go to meetings for family reasons (and because i don't want to leave my friends, either) i get so sick in my chair in the hall.

  i can't pay attention, i can't sit still knowing it's all such a waste of time and a big fat lie.

  i get weird symptoms like: the feeling that i'm going to almost pass out, very sweaty or very cold, and weak legs though i'm sitting down, and the urge to get up and run away.

  If You Were God How Would You Prove You Existed

  by Pig in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i ask this because obviously everyone has different criteria, hence why we have muslims who think quran is the more than enough proof, christians who think the bible is perfect proof and atheists who believe that nothing yet has been proof enough of gods existence.. living with humans we all must have a good idea of human nature (god should certainly know) so what would you provide as proof if you were god to convince the masses of your existence?.

  if you were a christian would your proof surpass that contained in the bible, would you provide less proof?.

  if you are atheist would you provide a mathematical equation or a series of supernatural events that fulfill prophecies every 100 years?.

  Question...?

  by cptkirk in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  does anyone come into this religion who is doing well in life?

  not to say any one particular person never did well in life, but when they were studying and getting baptized, at that particular time in their life, were things going good for them?.

  i'm trying to figure out if anyone comes into this religion, while life is going good for them.

  new to JWN

  by Brad Wilson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have been a member of jwr since 2008 and have not been to hall since june 2009, have celebrated 2 yrs without memorial - woohoo - that being said i have stopped by here frequently and decided yesterday to join your group.. it has been very enjoyable to read your stories as well as the other group i have been with, and so it just seemed reasonable to belong to both.. my story is no differant than all the others, the only thing is i was not born in.

  that being said i also have no real issues with being an apostate (although i do believe it is used in the perjorative sense by the wt).. peace - brad.
