  Active JW's, can you defend "THE TRUTH?"

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.

  when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.

  this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.

  I watched some if their videos and they are so sweet!

  Good Job! You got those JWs to go home! What ever it takes!

  Medical background who says that! Doctor or nurse maybe but medical background! LOL

  Nice try elder!

  Good time to point out that many people his age was not allowed a higher education! It just made me mad hearing him brag! Phony!

  I bet if he does have a degree it is obvious he throws it up in the JWs faces at the KH to make them feel lowly. LOL

  I've got a "medical background." Lol

  Donations - how much is normal?

  by Frazzled UBM in

  how much would a well-off witness be expected to donate?

  my wife has just withdrawn a few hundred pounds from her account and refuses to tell me why so i suspect she plans to donate it as she hasn't donated for a while because she knows i don't want our money going to the organisation.

  is it likely that she is feeling under pressure to make a large donation?.

  Interesting how your mother thinks, "little by little"they will become perfect.Why would humans suffer a little imperfection until God makes them slowly perfect again.

  Do I understand her right, it sounds like evolution.

  Mind control is very hard to hear!

  Hope you can develop some kind of healthy boundaries with your JW relatives. What to talk about and what not to talk about.

  become imitators of god.?eph.

  5:1.. one way to imitate jehovah is to adopt his viewpoint regarding matters.

  jehovah hates sin, and so should we.

  JW parents are CRAZY

  by Demokan in

  2. experiences

  hello again, for those who don't know me i'm a 15 year old boy.

  and recently my mom is displaying symptoms of demensia, she left the stove on today and she yells at us for watching commercials on t.v that are "demonic" because today there was a commercial on television for the new 300 movie and she started yelling at my sister to turn it off, and then i was listening to coldplay as a playlist while doing my school work and she started yelling at me to turn the demonic music off.

  she says "demonic" this "demonic" that.

  Emancipation if you could find work.

  Obvious your mother is mentally unstable so you might want to stay in your room. Go out for short times.

  If she is not that strict be gone until bed time. Find nice friends.

  You are vulnerable for alcohol and drugs so be very careful.

  Does your mother or father drink?

  Congratulations on the best exit ever!

  It is better to leave your mom with her delusional life. People have rights to choose where and how they want to worship.

  "Worldly" Friends vs "True" Friends

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey guys i am new to the whole forum thing (long time reader, first time postererer) and i wanted to get some other opinions on something that has bothered me ever since i first became a jehovah's witness.. i was always taught at the kingdom hall that friends inside the orginisation were the only ones i could count on and that the ones out of it (mainly at school) were just being controlled by satan to trick me into leaving the religion.. however, i always found it to be the opposite.

  my "worldly"friends were all accepting of my religion (back when i was ok with being a jw) and are the only ones i have really opened up to about wanting to leave.

  the only things i have in common with the other teenagers in my hall (3 boys, 3 girls) are that we've all been raised in the truth and... well that's it.. i was just wondering if anyone else found the same thing when they were a teenaged jw or if anyone still in my age finds the same thing..

  Welcome

  Here something that shocked me how cluless I was as a JW. Here what I learned about how worldly oeople,chuches, teach their children. I never heard this at the KH growing up.

  What would you do for your friend? So if a JW kid cussed the other kids would shun him as bad association. But the bible says we are to give our lives for our friends. So when they have probkems it would be hard to give your life for your friend by not talking with them. You help them.

  A friend is someone you protect and give your life for his/hers.

  Now that was never taught when I was growing up.

  Also, another thing I have problems with. Patents are to teach their children how to survive in the world. How to make short and long term goals. College,move out,get a job. How to succeed.

  JW parents just focus on WT and meetings. If a child becomes horny they should marry without experiencing living alone in their own apartment first! And they wonder why so many couples have problems!

  Hopefully, you will have a better chance!

  Friends should be able to disagree with each other. Say that is not cool yet still be a friend. But not the JW boy they just let the youth fall because a lack of planning. Setting goals and sticking to them. Not going out in service or giving talks tbose are not goals.
