  Online Higher Education

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since the faithful and discreet slave class now opposes higher education because it allegedly brings with it 'bad association', i wonder what their take is on online education.

  let's remember that distance education was pioneered by fundamentalist saudi arabia and apartheid south africa for the very reasons that the jehovah's witnesses criticize higher education.

  my wife is one of the faithful and i fear for our kids future, that they will see no point in keeping their grades up.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean " courting" certainley sounds more dignified than " hanging out with a new squeeze".

  " comely" is a word i think should be used more often".

  i am going to try and use " jabberwockey" in a sentece today.. anyway do you have any favourite words, in any language?.

  American Rantings About World Cup Soccer (Football)

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i try ... i really try to watch football (soccer) ... it's world cup time ... i really do try.. i just don't get it ... i really don't.. yes, it's a world-wide sport.

  in most countries it is the number 1 or number 2 sport ... no doubt about it.

  it's maybe number 5 in the usa for professional sports.. from an american's perspective (i think i speak for many), we just wonder if these guys actually have testicles.

  DF'ed and Confused...

  by Stumbeline in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i think the title pretty much says it all.

  i have a tendancy to be long winded about things, so i'll just give a general introduction and maybe tell things as i go along.

  i don't even really know what i want from this site (ironically i remember jehovahs-witness.net mentioned from the platform as a site not to go to).

  Past couple years of being awake might be catching up with me

  by noonehome in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was a little too honest with a super close friend who is one of the most important people in my life.

  my mistake.

  she talked to an elder about my doubts...i know she had my best interests in mind and i hold nothing against her.

  Why did Jesus tell the convict on the cross next to his, that he would be joining him in Heaven TODAY??

  by Faithful Witness in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  maybe a silly question, but i'm curious about this part of the story of christ's crucifixion, when the 1 thief challenges jesus to save himself and "us too" from their deaths, but the 2nd thief rebukes him and pleads with jesus... .

  luke 23:42-43: and he said unto jesus, lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

  and jesus said unto him, verily i say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.. .

  Do you believe there will be "Mass Suicides" within the BAC/JW community?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a "therapist trainee"(still have to take my license test) i worry about all of the religious people out there who might commit suicide if the rapture/armaggeddon does not materialize.

  what if the bible is proven to be "a big fairy tale" will born again christians(bac) and jws kill themself?

  i worry about some of my older jw relatives that have waited for armaggeddon for 50 years and are still waiting.

  A farce elder here

  by His Excellency in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just to share a little about me:.

  i was recently appointed an elder, about 6 months ago now, and that is exactly two years after my awakenning, but funny that the appointment came also about 2 years after i had completely lost all faith in god and had been leading a full time anti-jw life .

  makes you wonder the role of the holy spirit in the entire nomination or appointment process.. .
