Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.

by AuntConnie in

1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .

i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.

my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

Westboro a hate group, so are jw's!

by carla in

while i agree 100% that westboro is a hate group aren't the jw's also hate group?

how many times in wt literature do they come right and say 'we must hate...'?

i understand they are a bit more politically correct these days but the thought and actions are still there.. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/265k-sign-petition-label-westboro-hate-group-article-1.1228100.

they teach you must hate what jehovah hates...

but that just means throwing things you like away..

Something to Think About

by Mr. Falcon in

how will it seem years from now when all that we cherish and believe will become as dusty exhibits in a museum?

we are constantly finding ourselves in different states of being, between breakfast and dinner.

perhaps, even that final snack before we are carried off in a realm of terrifying heights or ages undreamed of.

Tater-T

I think about that everyday.. no kidding!!!

great thoughts Mr Falcon and as usual New Chapter!!

Poll---How Many Are Facebook Users & On Average How Often Are You On That Site?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i have facebook.

i probably get on it 4 or 5 days a week, typically to see what's going on with family and those i know.

plus pictures!.

Tater-T

facebook is really what got me into hanging out on the computer, if I never got on Facebook I never would have made it here..

Now I hate facebook the only reason I keep it is to maintain contact with my daughter, which is great she lives in another state, going to college,

It's great to see current pictures of her and it keeps me in touch with family members... but outside of that, I don't do much on there any more....

Will the 'Make Good Use of Our Official Website' discussion backfire?

by jw07 in

good day everyone,.

i'm a born in jehovah's hostage, and am still a hostage until i can wake my family up (wishful thinking i know).

i'll formally introduce myself later.. for now i have some burning concerns about the service meeting part for the week of december 24, 2012.

Tater-T

I think if they tell people to look up JW.org door to door .... and come back as return visits, they would be very disappointed to say the least..

holy cow .. this can only backfire!!!!

or should they go in and show the house holder how to find it on their computer... how convienient

Your earliest doubt?

by Apognophos in

this might be an unfair question for those who have been out of the organization for decades, but i'm wondering if any of you remember your earliest doubt -- maybe something odd that occurred to you as a kid (if you were a jw then).

please try to limit to two doubts at the most :-).

i think my first "doubt" was simply realizing that at the time of the flood, every animal that wasn't in the ark died (well, besides the fish, supposedly).
