  Dubs badmouthing children

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was remembering the 1980s when it was in vogue to shun children.

  they went through a fad when they'd call unbaptized excommunication as "disassociation".

  within a short period of time, most of the teens and preteens were "disassociated" or disfellowshipped.

  This topic is for Christians......

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the very first followers of jesus were drawn to him no doubt for a variety of reasons, but stayed mainly because they had taken on board the faith that he held.. they witnessed him and his faith in action, so they came to believe as he did.. long after his death, and the death of most, if not all, of those that knew him, this gradually transformed from holding the same faith as him, to having a belief in him.

  this resulted in claims for his divinity etc.

  my question to you is, is it not more important that you hold the same faith as he did, rather than the much vaunted belief in him, because you cannot be "in union" with him if your faith differs from his, surely ?.

  Why I truly come in!

  by justmom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello everyone.... i would honestly like to share why i come to this site when i am able to.. i too, like many here spent my whole life inside the wt along with my husband who was born in.

  (i was 6) we have raised three wonderful sons now 27, 23, 21 who the youngest was almost 7 when we left and we were disfellowshipped.

  (for so-called apostacy of course)and since then all of us partake of the christ by eating and drinking the manna and his blood.

  How do I hear/feel God?

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a serious question.. i know people that hear/feel god (and see postings about people's experiences), but i have not experienced this.

  i have never heard anything audibly (or otherwise) nor "felt" anything inwardly.. i've prayed, read, quieted my thoughts, etc...but still nothing..

  So ... what happens when we die?

  by sacolton in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what do you personally believe happens after we die?

  i don't believe we really know everything about god or the afterlife.

  i do believe that we do transform to something beyond our physical comprehension.

  [endif]just read bublegum's post and was going to post there but realised it would be off topic.. it got me thinking - as did some of the other atheist threads - why are religious people scared or atheists?

  silly oversight logic ala todays WT

  by elderelite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is of course nothing new again..... but just struck me as i ignored the watchtower today... .

  so israel is running from the egyptions... the desert god is taking wheels off of chariots and such so they can cross the red sea.

  he also has already told moses at this point that hes going to do away with pharoh and his army too.... .
