ok lets leave the atheism, belief in god aside for a bit and remember that we all have something in common and that we are a unique group of people on this very big planet.. lets all have a giggle about our old lives,.

what was the craziest, most laughable thing that we used to do or observed as a jw ?.

was it just me that used to add echo in the sound booth, just for giggles?

Badass Female Bible Characters

by Kudra in

hi, this thread is inspired by the "bible characters trading cards" thread.... can we come up with a great list of female bible characters that were strong, decisive and inspiring?.

scully mentioned ja'el: drugging and driving a tent spike through the head (we all remember the awesome bible stories illustration) of the enemy general.. list yours along with a description of why they were so badass!.

This thread rocks! I was about to say Jezebel. Non-JW sources say she was a head priestess and basically wore the pants in the family. When the dudes killed her, she wasn't trying to seduce them, she wanted to go out like the queen that she was in all her finery.

Are We Living At The End Of An Age?

by metatron in

i hardly know what else to call it.

i have felt many emotions in my life and anxiety, many times but this is different.. it's a sense of the impending, a build up of pressure like a wall of water behind a cracking dam.

when does it break?.

QueenWitch

We are in the Age of Pisces. Aquarius is next but astromoners can't decide when exactly. An "age" in this sense is defined as about 26000 yrs and is determined where the Sun is during the spring equinox.

A Mormon becomes a JW in the Feb 2013 Watchtower...

by cedars in

glancing through the feb 2013 "public" watchtower edition, an interesting article appears on page 8.. here is the pdf download link.... http://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=pdf&issue=20130201&output=html&pub=wp&langwritten=e&option=trgchlzrqvnyvrxf&txtcmslang=e.

it's interesting how, in the story, the young man's jw aunt and uncle switch him from mormonism to the jw faith using third-party material (the nov 8, 1995 awake!

article), and he ends up becoming a jw after confirming on the official mormon website that the claims in the awake!

JW, Mormon - both are ridiculous mind control groups

Survey: Who here is an atheist? Who here still believes in God?

by Christ Alone in

jw
friends

i just wanted to take a survey.

let's not let this get into the same old same old debate of atheism vs belief.

just respond with "atheist" or "believer" or "maybe god exists".

My Questions Before Baptism Took Less Than 5 Minutes

by RubaDub in

after seeing the thread on books to read before baptism, i laugh about how my pre-baptism session went.. as a born-in with both father and grandfather serving as servants (prior to elder arrangement) i certainly knew the answers to the questions in the yellow "your word is a lamp to my foot" book that they asked at that time.

the brother who was asking the questions was the assistant congregation servant and not the sharpest knife in the drawer (i am being kind).

he was a very loving brother but was getting up in age, couldn't see very well and ... you get the picture.. we sat down in the library after the sunday meeting and he opens the book and starts to ask the questions.
