maybe just honestly say that you are terrified of ever being disfellowshipped and that it is a life long commitment more so than marriage and Jesus was 30 when he got baptized which is when the Jews view someone as a fully mature man

It sucks too love boxing and being in a JW family
by Akid48 induring this new year i started to love boxing and i can only really do is shadowbox which is good training, but i really want to do more.
now you might be thinking ''why the heck would this kid take a likeing in boxing when he is in a jw family?
''well thats the point of this post it sucks that i cant do a sport that i like and i want to spend time doing because jw's dont let you do sports and dear god you wont be able to do something like boxing.. (i just made this because i just wanted to talk about this and some of you will understand if you wanted too do sports but you couldnt because you where a part of a jw family).

hall crash
by intrigue169 ini live in the des moines iowa area , i would be interested in doing a kingdom hall crash after watching some on youtube, i would love to do that with a group of people.
i haven't meet any other ex jw around here.
i was never baptized, i always knew i could never live up to jehovah's standard so i never did even consider baptizing.

Like you are pulled from an accident and will probably be dead by morning. you lived a very sinful life and want to be saved before death, and have all your sins forgiven. what must you do?

Image: Great Tribulation
by OrphanCrow inthe org's fear theme has really been emphasized recently- the bunker video and now the convention video with jws being pursued by guys with assault rifles.
this image comes from the watchtower july 2017 questions from readers: would it be fitting for a christian to keep a firearm, such as a handgun or a rifle, for protection against other humans?.
the caption for the image is this: during the great tribulation, christians will rely on jehovah and not try to defend themselves.

I think if that picture was from the org at all, all the men would be wearing a suit and tie

Removing scriptures and numbering
by carla inrecently there was a thread https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5596141447020544/nwt-1984-vs-nwt-2013.
and kairos mentioned the following-.
i am baffled that john 8:1-12 was removed from their bible.it's a verse that makes judging and shunning impossible if you claim to be christian.".

that was Wescott and Horde that removed them not watchtower I believe. those were the catholic manuscripts used for NWT . I might be wrong I was comparing a few different bibles online that had the same exact verses removed

I could do that if my mother shunned ever but she will not do that to her only son who isn't baptized.
what I could do is go to a hall that nobody knows me and act like I'm curious and ask one or two questions that they can't answer just to plant small seeds of doubt and maybe even say something like where is the donation plate that gets passed at every church to bring the guard down

I always have told everyone in my family that is in the truth, that if they ever leave the truth, I'll never shun them. even before I woke up completely because this I never believed

this idea was not about revenge at all. it is about all the people who kill themselves, the children raped, kidnapped and taken across the border. and my grandmother waisting her whole life to the point that her life was for nothin at all and me not knowing if she is in hell or not(this one bothers me the most). I was never baptized but I got friends and family who will never talk to each other ever again and when I look into their eyes some think that they themselves really are wicked people who deserve this(still brainwashed!) . I like to think about it as more like a vigilante than revenge . I told my mother exactly how I feel and, she said she would not shun me because I am not baptized. but if the elders told her to, she would. I went deep down the rabbit whole and took the red pill.

What are the JWs saying about Trump?
by Wild_Thing inas much as jws say they are neutral, they can't help but discuss politics and label them as either bad or good and somehow connect it back to their dogma.
i remember hearing them discuss it all the time when i was a jw.
i can't help but wonder what the r&f are saying about trump and the many, many controversial events surrounding him.

What they are saying about Trump is the same thing they said about Obama, then Bush and B. Clinton. He is going to trigger Armageddon
