Thoughts on my life now

by freshstart in

though there are still problems in my life, as with everyone's life, i see the world so much differently now.

i no longer feel threatened from "worldly" people, as though somehow they are out to destroy me or take advantage of me.

it's very mentally liberating to realize that those walls the organization so erroneously put up can be scaled and that there is true beauty waiting on the other side.

Birthdays - For You Vientotz

by outsmartthesystem in

birthdays.

i have always questioned the witness belief that birthdays are not to be celebrated.

another reason is that various customs that tend to accompany birthday celebrations have pagan origins.

vientotz

Thank you guys :)

I really want to know the truth myself :) hope you understand.. I really thought this forum was made for all faithful JWs X(

I'm also ready to adjust myself, thanks for all the info's here! If ever i'll regret being JWs i'll let you know promise!

(this will be my last post, thanks for all your time sharing this fact's especially to OutSmartTheSystem XD)

THANK YOU!

my dad (49) (who was an elder for 10 year and hasnt been to the meetings now since april when i stopped going) sent a message to a younger unbaptised brother (19) in my congregation to see if they would like to get together and jam on their guitars.

the younger brother responded that he would like to but since my dad hasnt been to the meetings in a long time he feels its innapropriate.. needless to say my dad was a little pi**ed but at the same time he cant understand how he is also now being shunned despite the fact that he isnt even disfellowshipped.

why do these people show such conditional love when jesus taught the absolute opposite?.

vientotz

Why they keep on shunning inactive JWs?

Do you believe in Miracles?

by Snoozy in

do you believe in miracles?

i know a lot of strange healings and such occur but why should it happen to one person and not another?

makes me doubt that real miracles exist... praying for someone..why should one person be prayed for and survive and another one prays and doesn't survive..is god choosey?.

vientotz

Miracle's do happen when you make it happen XDD

why JWs doesn't celebrate birthday?

by vientotz in

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?

vientotz

I'll try to download that later

So if its not written in the Bible then why they keep on saying it to other's? Every word's they said is according to the Bible but they never showed it to me XD

Anyways, im just studying yet-- XD
