  rules about kids going door to door alone?

  by popcorn_eater in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my stepdaughter, who just turned 12, was telling me about her most recent door to door experience and how excited she was to get her first return visit.

  i was pretending to be happy for her and not horrified, and listening to the story.

  but then she said that the other person with her at the door was her 13 year old friend, also a girl.. i know the org doesn't seem to care much about children and their welfare, but is this normal?

  The "Worldlies"

  by popcorn_eater in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted to say that i think it's disgusting that jw's refer to people who happen not to be in their religion as "worldlies.

  " like we're not even people, just some other group, like aliens.

  i suspect jw's would also not be beneath calling homosexual people "the gays" which is kind of similar.

  Thinking about going to the memorial and...

  by popcorn_eater in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  partaking.. background: i have never been a jw.

  i have been brought into their world (and the way better ex-jw world) through having a jw stepdaughter and extended family.

  i have really come to love my stepdaughter and frankly all this jw stuff pisses me off to no end, as you all might imagine.

  What is the WT's current stance on the age of the earth?

  by popcorn_eater in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the reason i ask is i remember reading quite recently, in i think an "awake" mag about creation, that other churches confuse people by insisting on young earth creationism, which causes people to lose their faith.

  the magazine was going off on groups and churches who insist on teaching science that conflicts with the bible (....).

  i thought the wt was a proponent of this young earth creationism as well.
