  CONGRATS TO HAWKAW, SKULLY ET AL

  by acsot in

  the fifth estate program last night was a great example of investigative journalism.

  believe me, there's a lot of talk going on in these parts about the show last night.

  some trying to gloss it over, but even at that there are some die-hard jws who are feeling pretty uncomfortable.

  Subconsciously breaking the bonds?

  by acsot in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i wonder if any of you who are now da or just faded have consciously or subconsciously done what i seem to be doing lately.

  that is, cutting ties with people.

  i don't mean cutting ties with people who are obviously abusers, etc.

  Thank you Jesika

  by acsot in

  i mentioned this in chat yesterday with jesika, and thought that i should make it public.

  its thanks to jesikas story that i was able to crack through my jw defenses and see the truth about the truth.

  i read about her abuse on the silentlambs website, which then led me to other sites, then eventually here.

  Question for Yeru

  by acsot in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hi yeru, this is a catholicism question (as in i'm curious - i'm not throwing daggers one unique thing about ministry within the catholic church; were i to decide to become a deacon, my wife's conduct would not be a factor, however, if my wife said "no, he can't do it!

  " the church would not allow me to be a deacon.

  i wonder how many jw wives would say no to their hubbies seeking priveleges if they were allowed?.

  Preaching the kingdom or what?

  by acsot in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was at the meeting on sunday and one brother mentioned how jws are heeding the scripture at matthew 24:14, you know, about the kingdom being preached, and he said how in every corner of the world jws are now found and it's a fulfillment of the scripture.

  then the thought struck me that if that were true, then when people think of jws they should think "god's kingdom".

  not in my experience, as when going from door to door or what colleagues at work have said.

  ive been reading these posts and some on other websites for awhile now, trying to figure things out for myself.

  im still a jw, a non-believing one if you will.

  i more or less grew up as a jw, my father was an alcoholic and my mother became a jw when i was a kid.
