Learning a lesson from Piers Morgan

by cptkirk in

give the guy the benefit of the doubt...i guess,( i don't know the man personally so how can i say for sure).

in that, he had "good intentions" when he took such a hardline against specific types of gun ownership.

this is a good example to learn from though (me too).

i can't even fathom that, how could he not have known what he was getting into.

really ...everything you see on TV .. is meant to polarize the country.. I'm sure the corporate media is well aware of what they are doing.. the American people however do not

Are the Witnesses Really Losing Their Young People?

by What Now? in

that article about jehovah's witnesses having the lowest retention rate for born ins keeps popping up every now again ... i'm just curious if any of you have noticed that this is actually the case.

in the congregation that i grew up in, i'm going to say that 95% of the young people in their teens to mid twenties are either regular pioneering, regular auxiliary pioneering, serving in foreign language congregations or where the need is greater.

both of my younger sisters are regular pioneers - and the young people in their hall even organize 8 pm to midnight service on friday nights of their own accord.

isn't that agaist WT policy... meetings not sanctioned by the GB are strictly taboo... That won't last.. neither will the 95% pioneers.. at some point slinging magizines door becomes fruitless and very tiresome..IMO

Do You Believe In ANYTHING That The Witnesses Taught At This Point In Your Life?

for example, they pride themselves in what they don't believe such as immortal souls, the trinity, hellfire, etc.. some exjws still believe it is the "truth" and support the basics.. .

Tater-T

no.... nothing that is based on the bible do I give any credibility....

What does an "obedient" elder look like?

by nochoice in

just a clarification please.

some posters on other threads talked about "obedience" being an important factor to get circuit assembly and district assembly parts.

i don't fully understand.

It gets better. Part II of "Apostates are blown out of the water"

just a recap.. i posted a thread yesterday about an exchange of e-mails with a well known and respected elder and c.o.

sibstitute in a spanish circuit somewhere in the u.s. the man is about 50, raised in the truth, belongs to a family where all men are at least elders.

he is proud to have forsaken his dream of becoming a doctor to serve jehovah.
