  Dateline program?

  by MoeJoJoJo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  before i became a registered poster here, i was reading someone's post that mentioned an upcoming dateline program that was possibly dealing with the org.

  can someone tell me if this is true and if it is when does it air, or did i already miss it?.

  "plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

  Scriptures that may change my life

  by lookingnow22 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i feel the need to ramble.. as some of you may have detected, i at times have doubts and questions about the personality and qualities of god and the bible.

  however i am still clinging to a good amount of my faith in their goodness.

  this is why i am now, as some of you have in the past, studying deeply and looking for myself into what the bible says.

  2. experiences

  i'm a "long time listener", "first time caller".

  i've been eavesdropping on this site for a couple of months now, trying to detach from my beliefs engrained in me for forty years (since birth).

  i've finally got the time and the ambition to share my story with you all, since you've so gratiously shared your story with me (electronically).. i'm a 4th generation jw, or perhaps i should say "i was a ..." (old habits die hard).

  RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when jws are angry due to some injustice their 'organization' has experienced, they allow themselves to have this anger and label it "righteous indignation".

  but ... when ex-jws are angry, the society calls it 'gnashing our teeth in anguish, whinning, bemoaning some defective spiritual condition, or mad-dog apostates.'.

  now, the time has come for ex-jws and really anyone not associated with the jws to have righteous indignation as the watch tower society and its leaders are going to face public examination of their dirty laundry.

  Fornication......*blushing*

  as many may know, i'm still a teenager.

  i'm not willing to reveal my age, which is one less than 17 or one more than 15. but i just wanted to get your guys' opinion on sex before marriage.

  a lot of people here have kinda lost their "watchtower" and biblical standards as i have gathered.

  WHY APOSTATES THEMSELVES ARE DOOMED!!!

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  all mankind stands condemned before god, and yet some are more reprehensible than others are.

  as an example, christ called the original christian apostate, judas, the son of destruction.

  so too, and not surprisingly, the activities of modern day apostates are said to awaken the judgment from of old, so that "the destruction of them is not slumbering.

  1975: Much ado about nothing?

  by dutyfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of the senior witnesses out there, i am sure will remember the spring/summer of 1975 and the amount of excitement that was in the air surrounding the anticipation of what the new year would bring.. i have no recollection of such events as i was still in short trousers and wearing a strange cap, but anyway.... fred franz, the vice president at the time gave many talks to 000's of people about how much everyone was looking forward to 1975 and the wonderful things it would bring... without making an explicit statement as such, but the implications were all there.

  these talks actually began in about 1966. the anticipation grew too much for some people and many began to heed mr franz's advice about selling their property to live out the last months on the earth in the pioneer service.

  he also encouraged the young people not to pursue a career but rather to be more active in "the truth".
