  Had a girlfriend (but broke up with her cuz of Watchtower guilt)

  Smoked weed on weekends with worldly friends (Didn't feel guilty)

  Got a tattoo (it was on my back so no one saw it)

  Got drunk a few times with co workers

  Cursed when I was with worldly friends.

  Listened to heavy metal.

  Also I see people are saying that concerts are a bad thing? Mostly everyone in my congregation went to rock shows and no one had a problem with it.

  HOW COME ALMIGHTY GOD needs HUMAN PROTECTION ?

  by clarity in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  isn't it strange?.

  with just even a hint of bad press for the god jehovah ....... all his followers race to the rescue to cover it up.

  and quickly hide the evidence.

  I remember hearing about if there was any wrongdoing in the congregation, Jehovah would clear it up and take care of it. But when there's a case against the organization, it seems like he is unable to clear it up for outsiders.

  I converted into this cult but I gotta say, it has helped my social skills. Going to their meetings, I was kinda force to say hi to everyone and do some small talk even if I had no interest and going d2d has helped me start conversations with people based on nothing. I was originally very shy.

  3.5 years vs. a lifetime of going door to door.

  by tootired2care in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  did it bug you as a witness that jesus only had to go from door to door for 3.5 years, and he was done; while he demanded that you do it for your whole life without preparing for the morrow?

  i just remember a few years back reflecting on the daunting prospect of doing it my whole life if the end didn't come - "sooner rather than later".

  what are your thoughts?.

  Different take on John 13:35 (Love)

  by Silent_Scream in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  (john 13:35)35 by this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.. a lot of witnesses like to point to this scripture as evidence of their true christianity, when all else fails.

  but when i read it recently, an example came to mind:.

  i was at a family reunion years back.

  Wouldn't it be crazy if Jesus was pointing to Buddhism as the true religion? LOL

  Can i defend my Faith?

  by mrbunyrabit in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i thought ill check to see how "strong" the things are i believe in.

  im still hooked to allot of the wts's teachings, and i still believe in allot of them , even thought i have enough questions of my own to start my own bible school.. so what would you ask me as a "witness" now, so i can try and defend my faith and by doing so, that i might learn something about myself, and what i believe in..

  Anybody else noticed this?

  by Godsendconspirator in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1 john 4:8 ~ "...god is love.

  " self explanitory.. 1 corinthians 13:4 ~ "...love is not jealous..." so since god is love, that would mean he is not jealous as well, right?....

  exodus 34:14 ~ "because jehovah, whose name is jealous, he is a jealous god".

  Exodus 34:14 ~ "because Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, he is a jealous God"

  Deuteronomy 4:24 ~ "For Jehovah your God is a consuming fire, a God exacting exclusive devotion" The reference bible says it can also be “a God who is jealous (zealous); a God not tolerating rivalry."

  Zechariah 1:14 ~ "This is what Jehovah of armies has said: “I have been jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great jealousy." Zecharaiah 8:2 ~ "“This is what Jehovah of armies has said, ‘I will be jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and with great rage I will be jealous for her.’"

  Just wondering if anybody else caught this?

  Bullet list of major (recent) changes

  by RN in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is with great interest that i recently read ceders article on the decline of the wts.

  his article along with many of the comments really drives home just how many major changes there have been in a fairly short peroid of time.. somewhere in the recent past i could swear that someone had posted a bullet list of major changes with the corresponding year.

  when i saw this (or something like it) my first thought was that this simple list made it all the more shocking; and since i have searched and cannot find anything like it.. so i dug around and started one of my own, please feel free to add/corrects events.
