who would have thought that 2000 years later millions would still be debating the words of a delusional hippie who got crucified by the Romans.

JWs + Chronic Illness
by Cimarrona ini once asked my dad why, with all the power the wt insists on having so much control over its adherents' lives, they don't provide information about healthy eating habits or, like the adventists, wilderness training.
i mean, the gb encourage people to remain poor, and poverty is known to correlate with health outcomes, particularly those that are diet related.
i'd say most witnesses i knew over the age of 40 were overweight, had high blood pressure, heart problems, gastrointestinal issues, one kind of cancer or another (no doubt a result of eating their feelings if you ask me).

There's a correlation between unhealthy bodies and unhealthy minds. The JW population proves that. If a sick mind thinks that only doom and gloom are around you, what's the point of pursuing having a healthy body? It's not just correlation, it's a vicious cycle.

''This good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth FULL STOP''- Matthew 24:14. JW ORG
by ThomasCovenant inhi.
only just noticed on the jw borg home page that matt 24:14 is quoted with a full stop instead of a comma after the word earth then the closing quotation marks.. isn't that incorrect?.

Is the Watchtower trying to go mainstream in order to survive? Are they dropping out of the list of millenarian religions? That's good
I hope they, as part of the effort to mainstream, include real charity among their objectives

Very interesting advices, even when they conflict with each other. I kept swinging from one side to the other. One thing was never questioned, what caused you to end up where you are: the religion of your mom. For the sake of your children, the first thing to fix in your life is your belief system, your religion. Fix that first. Then you will be able to deal with the rest.

How/when did you become a jehovas witness?
by Lewis1998 inso i've been a protestant for most of my life, it's how i was raised, but recently i started questioning my faith more and more and now i feel like my beliefs resemble that of a jehovas witness rather than a protestant.
i don't know any jehovas witnesses, so i was just wondering how a lot of you found the religion and adapted to it?.

On the way out: "So I like to say that joining a dangerous mind-control cult was better than killing myself"
Finally I can see something good coming out of Christianity. First time it is the better alternative.

I second Carla
Take a good look at JWFacts so you can strengthen your resolve, then move on. Focus on better things: planning your future and education for example.

Do They Still do Door-to-Door as Much as Before?
by cofty insince the advent of the trolleys do the majority of jws still go door to door like we used to?.
do they still have meetings for field service on sat mornings and sun afternoons where most head off to the local territory while one or two go to do trolley work or has the importance of door to door work reduced?.
with the reduction of printing wts and awakes what will they offer at the doors?.

I see trolleys everywhere. And I mean everywhere: festivals, farmer's markets, popular hiking trailheads, shopping center, parks, theme parks, main streets of small tourist towns, etcetera. If so many people are doing the carts, then the D2D preaching must be reduced -

The Watchtower's Real Crisis
by JeffT inwhen discussing the watchtowers financial problems, i've generally been of the opinion that they probably are not in a real financial crisis.
i've come to believe that money may be something of an issue, but its wrapped up in a much larger problem.
this came to me this morning when reading about the annual meeting.. i think the society's leadership is just plain out of ideas.

They may be spending less because they want to keep a bigger share, not necessarily because they are running out of money. Time will tell. My take is that they will be smaller, but the shrinking process will generate a windfall from real estate sales. And that money will disappear into the hands of who knows who.
