  Reasons for becoming a JW?

  by Dubby in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm curious about the reasons for becoming a jw.

  if you were raised a jw, were you pressured into baptism?

  if you weren't raised a jw, what were the deciding factors?

  Qualified to be elders?

  by Andyman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is an issue that really bothers me.

  the elders are supposed to be looking after the well being of the congregation.

  they are supposed to be helping those in need.

  To be perfectly honest, the no vasectomy ruling seems pretty much like the don't-neuter-your-male-dog-macho syndrome.

  i've not read the actual book but have read much online about this lost gospel q-the original words.

  JW and XJW DB's , Bible Conscience and Truth.

  by spectromize in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i would just like to point out that when i first bought my computer and connected to the internet, the first words i typed in my browser were jehovah, jehovah's witnesses, watchtower.... i must say, i was quite amazed to see so many websites that were for and against us.

  my curiosity got the better of me and started reading sites such as watchtower.org ,witnesses.net,watchtower observer, h20, freeminds...ect.. did it bother me to read opposing materials or websites?

  as i mentioned in another thread i have spent many years training myself a conscience trained to what the bible and the society's publication have encouraged us to do.. again coming back to the question, did it bother me reading all this opposing stuff?

  Frenchy,

  I think part of the solution would be to require some sort of psychology course. The counsel that disturbs me most is the counsel given to someone who is suffering severe emotional problems or severe depression. Unless the elders can recognize the warning signs, they CAN'T give appropriate help, and lives are at stake.

  They need to be able to recognize when someone will not benefit from the typical scriptural counsel and be able to refer brothers and sisters to agencies that can help them.

  The below message is only a parody, and is not intended to be confused with
  actual articles from theWatchtower Magazine or from the Governing Body of
  Jehovah's Witnesses)

  Please note, my intention is not to be blasphemous, but to make light of
  certain teachings that don't seem to be very loving, kind or understanding;
  basically, not the God of Jesus. Please read them in the proper context.

  Latest Headlines:

  JEHOVAH'S WITNESSE'S ADD 3,211 NEW ADDITIONS TO OFFICIAL "PROHIBITED
  ACTIVITIES" LIST

  New directives call for abandoning all activities "not expressly approved by
  Jesus."

  Going to bathroom, jogging, use of peanut butter, "a matter of conscience"
  says governing body.

  New 10 volume, 15,000 page handbook of No-No's to be published, distributed
  door-to-door by
  happy witnesses with nothing to celebrate. When asked about the task, one
  withness responded, "What a privledge it is, to be able to bring this 500lb.
  list of additional restrictions to our fellow brothers and sisters; Truly we
  are blessed beyond words by Jehovah!"

  Recently, the govering body has looked into the idea of printing a small
  pamphlet entitled, "Things you CAN do as a Jehovah's Witness" to cut down on
  printing and delivery costs. The 3-page brochure could be distributed
  without the use of cranes or trucks as is now neccessary under, "the current
  system of things."

  NEW ADDENDUM TO BOOK OF REVELATION DISCOVERED

  A recent discovery from the holy land: New addendum to Revelations reaveals
  that John really asking Romans, "Was this dream really weird or what?"
  Asking for advice on how to get better nights rest.

  Author apologizes for writing down "way bad nightmare" - Promises to lay off
  "manna and pickle sandwiches before bed." Tells Romans that "there's been a
  bit of a misunderstanding, please disregard that last memo."

  Say's John in the newly discovered book of "Recantations", "It's a good
  thing I got this out to you guys, otherwise people might have really gone
  off the deep end with this stuff."

  Freedom came for me in knowing that Jehovah loved me even if I wasn't putting in my quota of hours...even if my meeting attendance was not up to par.

  Well, that's it!! I'm starting a new trend. It's been done for centuries by men, and now it's OUR turn.

  I am herewith talking about the Male Harem. Yep, get a whole passel of attractive hunks, add a couple of handy-type guys for the repairs and such....and enjoy.

  I am now taking applications....married, single....doesn't matter.....as long as you're male, your application will be given prompt attention. Note: A pre-harem acceptance test MAY be required.
