  If I can go to Walmart and stand around with hundreds of strangers, why couldn't I go to church with dozens of friends?

  Because at walmart you don't have people singing loudly right next to to and standing so near that they spit on you when they talk!

  100 Dead, but God is Merciful

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a plane with 99 people on board has crashed into a populated area of karachi, but at least two of the passengers survive.

  one of them is reported as saying, “god has been merciful”.

  what kind of mercy was shown to the other 100 or more that died?.

  A thesis: The Discursive Construction of Freedom in the Watchtower Society

  by AndersonsInfo in

  a thesis: the discursive construction of freedom in the watchtower society.

  https://ris.cdu.edu.au/ws/portalfiles/portal/24632569/thesis_cdu_24577264_chester_h.pdf .

  be aware, this thesis, although supremely stimulating, thought-provoking, fascinating, attention-grabbing, remarkable, noteworthy, and appealing, the author made use of out of the ordinary, worthy of note, and fascinating words and statements that, for the reader of average intelligence (like me), make for laborious reading.

  Infidelity amongst JWs

  by YellowLab in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  does there seem to be a higher incidence of infidelity amongst the jws?.

  my brother, who is an active jw and ministerial servant, has an elder friend who was recently disfellowshipped for having an affair with another sister in the hall.

  it turns out this sister was divorced a few years earlier from a "worldly" man who had an affair on her.

  Midweek Meeting looooooooong prayers.

  by Davros in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing that aggravates me is long concluding prayers, especially at the midweek meeting.

  you work all day, rush home, grab a quick bite, dress up in meeting clothes.

  then, go to the meeting.

  Weekly Meeting Importance Being Reduced - Your Thoughts?

  by JWTom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am pimo, but now have 40+ years of being a jw as i was raised in a 3rd generation family of witnesses and continue to fake my way through things - fading as i can.. for the vast majority of my time as a jw, the meetings were the central focus for all jws to get teaching, association, information and so on.

  nothing was more important than being at the meetings!

  over the last 20 years starting with the elimination of the weekly book study in homes and continuing down to today - my opinion is that the value/purpose of the weekly meetings continues to be diluted or minimized.

  Not so, we all quietly jumped for joy on the inside!

  Update again

  by Akid48 in

  2. experiences

  i don't know if anyone remembers me on here but i'm here to do an update again.. well, i'm 15 going on 16 soon i still remember watching my first video on youtube and learning that all the jw teachings are false and everything that follows.

  crazy times, i have chosen to just focus on school and just trying to be a kid well a teen now but you get the point.

  i'm not really mad about all the jw stuff i've come to accept that i couldn't have done anything to prevent it i was born into a family that was already into the religion.
