  i am no fan of donald trump at all.

  i am getting tired of seeing trump topics here on jwn.

  i was hoping that hillary clinton would be elected so i can forget about donald trump once and for all.

  if people get left behind be careful

  2. bible

  in this world there are becoming two sorts of people the ones with stupid amounts of money and the ones with very little money and the people in charge are going to get even more shocks if they dont share the money out in a more fair way.ive seen in the press that obama will be getting a house that costs over $4 million dollars and how many people are having to live on basic wage.there is plenty of money going around its just not shared out enough,rather than a lottery giving out a prize of $50 or $100 million dollars just think how many people would be blessed if that was dividid in $50,000 prizes and there would be more chances to win as well.some people have to work for a whole year or even two to get that amount of money .

  just like the title says, how does ones self start the transition out of the jw's belief system, since i will never be allowed to go to a kingdom hall and believe a lot of what they teach.. i guess more importantly how have you guys here moved on that have had some exposure to the jw's?.

  any advice is more than welcomed and i thank those that have thus far replied to me!!

  so the elder (who was my teacher) has informed the rest of the congregation and has now revolked my enterance into their or any hall.

  and so now they are looking into getting a restraining order and have called new york and that's what they have decided to do.

  just because i was made to feel so depressed and hated that i was thinking of suicide.

  Election Post-Mortem

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

  really, wtf!.

  the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

  I want to be a JW but they seem to hate me? Help!

  by Alostpuppydog in

  just going to give a little background about myself and then bring anyone who is reading this up to speed with where i am today:.

  growing up in a family that was not aware of jehovah's witnesses at all, as none of my family members have had a run-in with them other than my parents, my entire life has been a mess ever since we met them.

  the witnesses first came to my door when i was 12 and my dad started bringing me to meetings and we even lived with a witness family for a month when we were both homeless due to my parent's divorce.

  What is the purpose of life?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

  because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

  i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

  Armageddon

  by finnrot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with these new disasters going on around the world, i would imagine that the jw's are going ape shit with the thought of death and destruction right around the corner.

  i was smart enough to leave this cult after 1975 came and went with a whimper.

  i was in my teens at the time and i vividly remember to this day the excitement all the witlesses had with the knowledge that '75 was going to be the year of armageddon!!!
