When You Were A JW Did You Really Understand The Religion and What You Were Getting Into?
by minimus in

many witnesses in my opinion know nothing about the religion.

they don’t understand the history, the doctrines or the bible.

many people become jws because they were raised as witnesses so they take the plunge.

Blood doctrine question
by AuntBee in
1. watchtower
2. medical
when witnesses go on and on about bloodless medicine, they often imply that this will work in all situations.

do they really believe this, because it's what the society has led them to believe?

are they just trying to divert their own mind, from the reality of blood deaths, that still happen?

2. friends
i can now say that i'm not alone to know ttatt in my congregation, after all.. i have come to know that my close friend is awake, even without me sharing the ttatt with him/her.

on one of our recent conversations i mentioned about being tired and no longer being uplifted anymore, and my friend then told me he/she was feeling the same.

i don't know how it happened but we knew we could trust each other.
