  I had loads of so called privileges when I was there,too many, that actually takes away from spending time with your family. It was all for show looking back on it to show 'how well am I doing, eh?'

  do you know of any "jw" teenagers that were very bad in morals, but later in life they become elders, elderettes, etc...?

  what were they like?

  what are they like today?.

  I don't know about very bad, I knew folk who were...not very good and regularly did things they would now be more than happy to counsel others on if they did it.

  The Tower of Babel - Languages: Isn't this story unhinged?

  by james_woods in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  besides the obvious fact that it is historically ridiculous - can anybody make any sense out of this story?.

  god was somehow afraid that man was developing too much technology?

  just because they were building a tower?.

  James, you make the point really well but the thing that stands out to me most is when you say 'anybody with any reason'

  Excellent post Mr Woods. It is, of course, a complete load of nonsense.

  "I am walking proof of the power of prayer" - Patrice Muamba

  by BluesBrother in

  a short while back a circuit overseer told the congregation his personal experience.

  i was not concentrating at the beginning but somehow he and his wife were at an assembly with no money.

  they had scraped together the cash to rent an old caravan for the weekend and now they were out of food.

  I remember years ago a JW told me he was out in the door to door work, him and his service partner and they were hungry with no money and no food. (I suggested he would have been better trying to get a job to earn money to buy food rather than walk around pointlessly with WTBS tracts)

  So, they are walking past shops looking at the food in the windows (ffs) when a van drove past them and an apple pie fell out the back of the van. They got down on their knees and thanked god for providing them the food. I was gobsmacked. They actually believed that god had hand delivered them an apple pie as reward for putting first the kingdom.

  That morning, knowing they had no food, they said they prayed to god to feed them and their prayer was answered....

  I was watching the game when Muamba went down, it was quite horrific watching it.

  my DF-ing letter - opinions

  to the body of elders in xxxxx.. .

  i no longer wish to recognised as one of the jehovah's witnesses due to the fact that i no longer believe that this 'organisation' is truly representing him because :.

  i have experienced greater and unconditional love/friendship with the people i am supposed to hate 'worldly people' than i did in this congregation.

  Or an elder phones you up years later, accuses you of not caring about your ex because if you really cared you'd admit your 'sin' so she can now move on. That is after several other disgraceful ways of trying to find out if I've had sex after our marriage was ended.
