  I NEED ADVICE DESPERATELY!!!

  by concerned fiance in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is my situation: my fiance is now 27 years old.

  he was raised as a jw from the age of 2 through 18. at that time, his whole family left the "truth" except for his older brother who had already married another woman from the faith.

  for the past 9 years, he has been living his life to the fullest, but still loving god, praying often and he is a truly honest and moral person.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  watching the david letterman "late show" last night was very touching.. dave had on as his main guest, dan rather, cbs newsman and anchor.

  of the cbs evening news.. now, this man, rather, is supposed to be a hardened journalist,.

  whose job is to report the news objectively and hide emotions/opinion.. he has seen a lot in his long career as a journalist.. he broke down in tears last night twice while dave was interviewing .

  2. friends

  i've been given some sketchy information that says the cbc is presenting its program straight talk tonight, possibly 7 pm eastern time.. in that program james kostelniuk's book and personal story will be covered.. "sheep among wolves," the story of murder in a jehovah's witness community.

  perhaps someone in canada could check this out and publish details below, or correct this

  The Word of God

  by Norm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the strange world of the bible.

  during my many years as a jehovah's witness my studies of the bible was extremely shallow.

  the watchtower society was deluging us with magazines and books and the references to the bible you found there were just filtered through the watchtower propaganda machine.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dear freinds,.

  i have been asked by a concerned husband to speak to both his family and his wife family about jws.. his wife has been studying with the jws for some months and he is very concerned.

  he read alot on the internet and knows they use mind control, and make false claims to be god's channel, but he cannot convince her of this.

  God on Trial - #1

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  premise: many who have read the bible over the centuries have accepted it as authoritatively from god, and have glossed over some glaring inconsistencies, contradictions, and shear nonsense.

  some cultish groups have attempted to mimick the myths and twisted beliefs they have derived from the bible.

  jehovah's witnesses are no exception to this.. this raises the questions: if the bible (as we know it) is from god, having his stamp of authorship and approval, then can we ever at some point raise serious questions about it?
