  How to break up a "friendship" with a JW who is (still!) trying to convert me

  by Sofi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, so i never had the courage to tell this people i was df'd a long time ago... just kept "studying" here and there because i felt lonely and they were so persistent.

  last time i saw this woman, we had a heated argument (was more like a monologue) where i told them why i think the wts is wrong on the blood subject.

  she is still sending me texts about when is she going to see me again to "study" (bringing in the "closer": a regular pioneer we both know).

  Bragging among JWs...

  by ohnightdivine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  posting about the wonderful preaching day on fb... posting about what they ate for lunch, snacks, dinner after preaching... posting about rubbing elbows with the co, do, etc... posting about getting into pioneer school... swooning over the latest gadgets, right after the meeting... being obsessed about what clothes to wear during the assemblies.... etc.. etc... being proud of having an sp, bethelite, etc relative... being unable to take pride in academic, secular, or other normal achievements leads to the above, i guess.. and it's not at all different from how "worldly" people behave these days... .

  they picked the wrong hombre .

  new book printed in Germany, not wallkill-why?

  by factfinder in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just recieved a copy of the new book "imitate their faith" and notice it was printed in the german branch, not at wallkill.. why would they ship books here (the us) from germany instead of printing them in wallkill?.

  the new tracts were printed in canada.. is something going on at the wallkill printery that would would hinder book production there?.

  Former Elders? What did you not like about serving as an elder?

  by JakeM2012 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few of my pet peeves were:.

  the po/cobe knowing that he needed to have an elders meeting after the meeting but not telling any other elders.

  humm, but his wife knew.

  Who Really Are True Christians?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well, since the wtbts "litter-ature" has informed people almost 4000 times about "true christian/s", then it would appear that they must be the assigned experts to judge any hypocritical "wolves in sheep's clothing".. thank goodness the bible confirms that the fds has been given the privilege to say who is or isn't a christian!.

  2 corinthians 5:10 says (probably in the new version of the nwt) "for we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of the governing body, that each one may get his award for the things done through the body, according to the things he has practiced, whether it is good or vile.".

  or in simple terms, it's like saying to christ, "don't worry yourself, we'll do the judging for you!!"..

  Where In the Bible Does It Say To Hate People Who Leave The Organization? Apostates and the District Convention Theme of Hating Them!

  by AuntConnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am back from bakersfield and i can say it was the best district convention ever!

  the end is coming soon, a few of the annointed were speaking about 2014 possibly being the year that jehovah would destroy all the hateful apostates!

  the focus of this convention was not on love or the message of the good news of the kingdom.

  Was Your Leaving The Witnesses A Very Gradual Process Or A Quick One?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, it took many years.. even when i would read all the changes over the years from the "truth", i still would ignore it and "wait on jehovah" and try to be a positive force in the congregation.. eventually, i just couldn't take it anymore and resigned as an elder, and slowly but surely made my fade.. what about you?

  were you out, in a short or longer time?

  a relative and friend of mine is turning the monumental "60" in 3 weeks.

  he has "studied" with the jws since childhood, but never became a baptised member.

  something is holding him back .
