  i created this thread so that jwr members can list their old jwr username with their username for whatever site they've moved to.

  i apologize if this has already been created somewhere else.. jwr = starrynight.

  jwd = starrynight9.

  First exchange in years about JW religion with my wife...

  by NVR2L8 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  today my wife showed me the new medical directive and power of attorney form she got at the meeting.

  surprisingly she asked if i wanted to fill mine!

  i have been inactive for 6 years and i don't go close to any jw gatherings because i don't want friends who only care for me unless i share their beliefs.

  You're right, Baker. A blood transfusion is just a tissue/organ transplant. When transfused blood enters the body, it isn't digested. It performs the same function it did in the donor. Blood is still blood just as a donor kidney goes on being and acting like a kidney.

  I am a proud blood donor. Where do JWs who accept blood fractions think they would be without people like me?

  "how awful it must be to be dying as an apostate!"

  i heard today about a former jw/now apostate who is dying in hospital.

  this information was accompanied by the comment of "wouldn't be awful to be lying there in hospital,dying as an apostate!

  knowing that you have no hope!?

  What condescending, holier than thou jerks! I'm one of those who would much much rather die as an apostate than live as a JW. The idea of Paradise never appealed to me anyway. Who wants to eat veggies and wear creepy fake smiles forever?

  That good old JW rumour mill

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  because i simply decided the watchtower corporation wasn't the truth(tm) i was da'd in a secret jc that i didn't attend.

  i was writing songs with a friend that day instead.. jws wasted no time in labelling me as an evil villain.

  the rumours abounded.. i was labelled as 'a false prophet'.

  Always made me laugh whenever we'd get scolded from on high about the evils of gossip. Gossip is a fine art in JWland.

  Shunning applies to inactive ones who haven't been through a judicial committee? So, people like me who haven't actually been found guilty of anything? Wonder how my JW family will take this when they finally have their conventions. Anyone else feel like the guillotine blade is about to come down?

  Two years for raping a young child? Not enough. A lifetime in prison wouldn't be enough. How is maybe losing privileges, maybe being reproved or disfellowshipped in any way a just punishment? This judge has his head up his butt.

  The best way for a witness to wake up, is to simply read the societies own older publications!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  once again the society is on a push to scare witnesses away from doing any research, or "stumbling" upon any "apostate" material (from workmates, neighbors, or online).

  however, the most enlightening, mind blowing and eye opening things are found simple by reading the early publications themselves!.

  read how ct russel, (the supposed channel god was using) had the most far fetched and laughable ideas, such as obtaining pivotal dates by measuring the pyramids of egypt!...

  My jehovahmom has a whole library of old Watchtowers volumes from the 60s-present. She has never read any of them. I did when I was a teen and that's one of the first things that tipped me off that something wasn't right. On the rare occasions I say anything about changing teachings, I get the 'light keeps getting brighter' speech. But why does the light need to get brighter? If God was inspiring the Witness writers, he should have given them the real story from the start. No need for 'new light' every few years.
