  What Was The 1st Thing That Made You Question?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a youngster raised in the "truth", i had my questions.

  but anytime you ask a question that is unanswerable, you are told to just wait on jehovah.

  as time passes, i believe that we store up a number of unanswerable questions that forces one to eventually think about everything.

  Wt news in the Philadelphia area

  by DevonMcBride in

  2. friends

  there have been many posters here who said they heard jw's have been challenged quite a bit during field service due to the increased exposure of the watchtower pedophile news that has been circulating around the news media.

  here in the philadelphia area, we have a two major newspapers and neither one of them has ever printed anything on this subject.

  with the exception of dateline and connie chung, there would be no information for the public here to learn of this.

  I am the Antichrist!

  by Mutz in

  well according to my mum anyway.

  she came home from a meeting a few months back, looked at me and with a slightly manic laugh declared "you are the antichrist!".

  i of course was shocked and ran to the bathroom to check my freshly shaven head for any marks etc but found nothing.

  When I found out that my family refers to me as the Anti-Christ, it really made me angry. Now I just laugh. Welcome to the club. You are in excellent company!

  How Many Here Have Been Shunned?

  by Reborn2002 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as most of you already know, the jehovah's witnesses are covering an article in their august kingdom ministry to be discussed the weeks of 8/19 and 8/26 which details how they are to shun and avoid those who are no longer members of their organization, even immediate family members.. .

  undoubtedly this article has been written to reinforce to the rank&file jehovah's witnesses the shunning policy, so as to tighten the ranks and prevent members from having the opportunity to learn the abundant contradictions and hypocrisies found within watchtower doctrine and practice from any who may have left.. this policy also serves to divide families and attempt to shame or abuse those whom have chosen to no longer be jehovah's witnesses, for whatever reason.. that much is obvious.

  in recent days this topic has been discussed in detail in various threads.

  I am not disfellowshipped nor disassociated. However, I am shunned by friends and family. I believe after my mother passes (she is terminal and I help care for her) that I will be disfellowshipped then.

  ARE YOU UPSET THAT YOU DIDN"T GO TO COLLEGE?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have read of some people's bitterness because they were denied the opportunity to go to college.

  during the 60's and 70's the society really discouraged any education other than what was necessary.

  since the end was so near, especially around 1975, anybody that decided to go to "higher education" was considered very weak and unbalanced.

  I went to a Vocational H.S., and two of my teachers saw my passion for cooking and begged me to apply at Johnson & Wales. My parents angrily opposed it. This went on for 2 years! It made me so sick inside.

  I'm currently looking into online courses - in a different field
