  Hello, I am new

  by LillyC in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am not a jehovah's witness but i am very interested, i have many questions and hope they can be answered here.. i do believe in god, privately.

  i do say my prayers daily and do believe god helps me in countless ways.

  but i don't go to any church.. i have always been impressed at how smart, polite and nice jehovah's witnesses are and i always make time to speak to them when they call at my door.

  Just looked it up in NIV

  NWT copied NIV.

  That is why I go with KG.

  NIV has good historical notes.

  NWT just garbage bible has nothing to offer.

  To the angel of the church in Ephesus

  by kassad84 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand, the one who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this:.

  i know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; and you have perseverance and have endured for my names sake, and have not grown weary.

  but i have this against you, that you have left your first love.

  Ok

  ‘I know your tribulation and poverty—but you are rich+—and the blasphemy by those who call themselves Jews and really are not, but they are a synagogue of Satan.+

  WTBT claimed they are 144,000 class! must be the synagogue of Satan!

  so i have quit going to meetings for a few months now based on some issues i have with the explanations of current doctrines.

  my wife is none too happy with this but over the last few months we have had some date nights and have tentitively agreed to disagree.

  Hey,welcome!

  You did a good job knowing that JC meetings are not a threat.

  Remind your wife what a loyal good man you have been to her. You stand by her.

  Not too sure why these women feel the need to run to elders over what their husbands read!

  A good man deserves respect. It is not like your into child pornography,incest,or beating her!

  Some times I think women want out of the relationship and are trying to find an excuse.

  A Saturday Knock on the Door & the JWN Forum

  by kepler in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is, of course, a recurrent topic that's made possible whenever a kingdom hall decides to march out on your neighborhood and street.. today it happened again in my neighborhood as a drum up for the memorial observance scheduled for monday the 14th of april.. why christ's passion and death should be observed on a monday of holy week i failed to ask this morning.

  perhaps someone else might like to volunteer, but it seemed just another reason to be sceptical about the whole thing, though hardly ranking with changing ancient chronologies to get jerusalem's temple destruction 2520 years before 1914.. anyway two gentlemen in white shirts and ties greeted me politely enough at my door and presented me with a flyer about an event which they described as momentous.

  they asked me if i had ever intended one and i assented.

  Good job!

  The Memorial is not bibical.

  Celebrating Jesus death is all messed up.

  Somethings wrong.

  2. beliefs

  i just got information that there is going to be a short 10 min meeting.

  with elders and ms after the first meeting of the week during the co visit.. this is in addition to the usual elders/ms meeting.. it might just be for my congregation, but is this something new?.

  i wonder why.. .

  Ten minutes sounds like something minor. Sounds like something that every member should have the right to hear! Donation come from the people!

  Ekks it seems like many here have been getting knocks on the door or phone calls.

  Trying to mark apostates!

  Scriptural Grounds for Divorce - Unbelievable story

  by Comatose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i personally know the individual involved closely, this is not a rumor.

  this is what happens when you let three unqualified guys decide whether or not you get to ever date again with jehovah's blessing.. a young man finds out his wife is cheating on him by seeing texts on her phone.

  he knows the person she is cheating with.

  I am just curious, Where does the son live?

  Also why not just get a divorce first without spiritual grounds!

  Spiritual grounds just means he can not get remarried but he can get a divorce.

  I noticed JWs moms love to be in the center of negative attention. Just part of the dysfunctional group.

  I would have left a momma boy!

  Need advice for asking a girl out

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  well long story short, i've been meaning to ask this girl at school out for a while but i can never do it because her friends are always there in the way and i would prefer to ask her in person.

  we've liked each other for a while (i was oblivious until about a month or two ago) and i'm also i bit worried she'll get tired of waiting.. i was just wondering if anyone had any advice or something that they could give me.

  Sounds like you will never ask her for her number.

  Imagine what is the worse thing that she could say. No, right!

  You need all the practice you can get. And lots of rejection. It is the expected answer.

  Good news someone will say yes!
