  "Go Where the Need is Great" - Is this phrase unique to JW's only???

  by AudeSapere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "go where the need is great"... it's one of those jw buzz-words/phrases.

  almost like a secret code that just pops up in what would otherwise be a 'normal' conversation.. .

  i was conducting an interview with a candidate this afternoon and she used this phrase when explaining that she travelled to various locations of a previous employer.

  I know non jws who use this phrase. It is more so used in relief and charity work.

  i'm a 17 year old from scotland.

  can i just say this site is absolutely brilliant.

  finally found people with open minds and free thought that doesn't just consist of "well the wt told me this so it must be right".. my story is that i'm just like any other child of a jw...brought up into a life of indoctrination where "the world's" thinking is automatically wrong.. that is until i was 14 - a light turned on in my head.

  I Offer You This Choice

  by simon17 in

  2. friends

  suppose the following choice were offered you, and you had to choose one or the other.

  which would you pick (and perhaps why):.

  1) you can continue living your life as it is, die when you might, and that's that.. 2) you can instead agree to die in 1 year in exchange for this: you will be granted access to the entire past and future history of intelligent life in the universe.

  I would choose #1. What good is it to know everything about everything, and not be able to share it with others? The knowledge that I would acquire would die with me. How will this knowledge help me? Yeah, it may give me peace of mind (or cause distress)- but then what? I choose to stay ignorant, and die when my number is called.

  I never believed that I would live forever in heaven or earth. I knew my actions and wisdom will live on. I never completely bought into the live forever thing.

  How do you think we'll be remembered?

  by rebel8 in

  2. friends

  some day far in the future, will we be looked upon as suffragettes who abolished cults with tenacity, courage and outspokenness?.

  will future generations shudder at the backwardness of cultures that permitted cults to flourish, and not comprehend how this could have happened?.

  will they be grateful for being spared death and suffering at the hands of cults because of what we are doing to expose them and reduce their growth?.

  Maybe someone will make a book out of all of our forum posts and experiences. It will be in the archives for generations to come. Each generation will have rebel free thinkers, and they will stumble upon their like minded predecessors.

  Did not Attend Mid-Week Meeting but Felt Good - Strange Feeling?

  by ProfCNJ in

  hi folks.

  the usual feeling for me - when i missed mid-week meetings - is to feel guilty, sad or depressed.

  it normally involved negative feelings.

  Mid week meetings were the first ones I stopped attending. I hated that I was missing all of the good television shows.
