is there one true religion?
applying jesus' identifying requirements, not one religion qualifies.
coming close doesn't count.
I was wondering similar. But to me close enough is good enough. I just have to look at the world today and the people in in - how corrupted everything is. The world is a mess and is declining fast. To me, that's truth enough to seek out anything that is opposite to the world. Its like the whole world is a cult ' the culture of Satan.
Even nonreligious people see the rampant evil in the world.
Here's an example ( love this comedian!)
i'm in the process of being reinstated ( my df'ing story is on here).
because i've never been in this position before, i don't know how i will be treated once i'm reinstated.
i moved to a new city/state and i don't know a single person here or in my new congregation i am attending.
Moved to different states 3x for jobs. I'm an empty nester now so live alone.
i know the annual meeting is usually in october.
i can't seem to find the meeting dates anywhere online.
anyone know when it will be or how i can find out?.
didn't know where to post this topic so put it under entertainment....what do you thinks trolls are wanting to accomplish on this forum?
are they in it for entertainment?
are they doing research for the 9 faithful frauds?
Not really. Anyone who uses Wikipedia as a source says it all.

Now it's auto posting on its own days later! I had tried to post it a few times 2 days ago and nothing posted it always timed out. Now it looks like this is like the 3rd one to finally catch up and auto post. I don't know why the system doesn't detect duplicates and remove them.
hi i want to tell my story and get advice.
i'm a single sister ( in usa) that has been baptized for 20 years.
i came from the world, so did not grow up in the truth and i have no family in the truth -- i am alone.. last year i met a brother & we did have premarital sex while we were dating.
There are two major reasons why I don't know the interworkngs of the org. 1. Is I was a divorced single mom from the world when I came in in my mid20s and I never really had close friends the whole time. I was always busy doing my own thing - working full-time and raising kids - didn't socialize much. The second reason is that at about 10 years in I faded out for awhile and became inactive. Went back to being ' worldly ' - this phase of life lasted about 7 or 8 years. Then I came back into in about 2 years ago

If you read the thread-- you would see the answer. This is posted twice in error because it was a glitch. As I posted the 1st one it timed out and did not post immediately so I had thought it didn't post at all, so I reposted. Then suddenly the original one posted the next day and the 2nd one shortly after.

And you think JW's belive in imaginary creatures and here you are believing in trolls. Lol.

i was never a jw, but came across a few in my travels.
one jw businessman i dealt with seemed to be honest, trustworthy and reputable 👍👌.
another i knew was the kind of bloke who, if he told me that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, i'd watch sunrise and sunset just to make sure.
I would say more honest & trustworthy.than non JW. The non JW is driven by $$ and material things and they answer to no one. However, the JW has other higher priorities than work so non driven by material things. They know full well they are accountable to a higher power - so they are more honest.
