  New book pisses active Witnesses off!

  by Intuit39 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my sister just called me at work to let me know that her husband (until recently, unsympathetic to her doubts) is thoroughly confused and pissed off by the new 'worship' book!.

  he has been comparing it with the 'united' book, has noted the obvious differences (3 missing chapters), and has begun examining it word for word...now he is raving looney about it.. to top it off, they were at bethel within the last few days, somehow ended up in brother larson's personal office, and were astonished to find a model spanish galleon replete with huge crosses, and a huge portrait of good ol' max towering over the watchtower itself.

  she said her husband thought it looked like a propaganda poster for 'big brother'..... finally!

  has anyone seen the new bank of america commercial for home mortgages?

  it has a woman writing a letter to her husband about how she misses him.

  at the end of the letter she says: i love you with every fiber of my being.

  How Common is this amongst JW's?

  by stevieb1 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i found this material on a pro-jw newsletter, and i've had this personal experience myself and know many others who have also.

  before i became a jw i experienced a tremendous amount of "love" from the congregation i associated with, but once baptized they leave and move on to the next potential convert.

  as a single person, i was never invited out to gatherings very much and always felt a little left out in the very clique-ish congregation that i attended.

  I was pondering...again.....

  by VioletAnai in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have another question re a bible topic.

  i know some of you don't believe what it says, but just to get your opinion would be helpful.. ok, so in genisis.....the angels see the beautiful women of earth and get hot under the collar and proceed to come down and have sexual relations with these women.. now, some time before this happened, two silly individuals in their naivity, listen to a dumbarse snake and to tell you the truth if i was a new human and a snake spoke to me, i'd take pretty much what he says as gospel....cos that just doesn't happen.....or i'd be having a psychotic episode.

  so they go and disobey god and what do they get for punishment....kicked out of home and left to fend for themselves without food, shelter, health, happiness or they father's love...all for disobeying him over a silly apple (i know this is to do with the 'sovereignty' issue, why he needs to prove himself i'll never know).

  Double Standards

  by Perfection Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  did anyone else have witness parents who the congregation thought were the "model" family, yet behind closed doors all hell broke loose?

  i remember a time when my family was choosen to do a part at an assembly about the ideal family- yet behind the scenes, we were beat, yelled at, sworn at, never studied, had a family from hell, yet others always commented how "perfect" and christian our family was.

  being a witness leaves deep & permanent scars.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  anyone on here have a "most embarrasing witness moment" from childhood?

  mine is from 7th grade- that was 20 years ago- but i still cringe when i think of it.

  almost too hard to write down- but maybe it will be therapeutic & part of the healing process?
