  hawaii false missile alert... the people of hawaii ran home and closed their blinds and drapes, were you hoping the missile would think you weren't home.

  it's a war head not a jehovah witness.....

  Fear of Dying

  did anyone else develop a weird fear of dying and death after leaving jw?

  i recently left and have realized for the first time in my life that i’m not going to live forever.

  anyone else have these same feelings toward discovering your own mortality?

  At first it was difficult to realize that I will die but as time has passed it has gotten surprisingly easier. I'm at a point now where I don't even fear dying. Even when I was in I feared dying because I was never sure if I did enough to deserve resurrection.

  i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.

  Even though I think he can be a jerk, is narcissistic and puts his foot in his mouth just about daily he is actually doing very well when it comes to the economy and doing what he said he was going to do. What he did well was pick excellent people to help him such as the Sec of Defense, Sec of State and Treasury Sec among others.

  john cedars' youtube channel has a new video interview with james penton.

  lloyd asks some good questions and jim provides excellent insights about jw history and where the movement may be headed.. i had the pleasure of meeting jim and his former wife, now passed away, at the christian believers conference (of bible students).

  I really enjoyed the interview. He's an encyclopedia on the complete history of WT. Of course he was screwed like many people have been. I may not agree with everything he says regarding beliefs but he comes across as a very nice, reasonable and balanced man. Would love to visit and talk with him.

  PORTUGAL: Filed a petition to the parliament to erase the legal entity of the Jehovah's Witness

  by EdenOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  based on legal arguments that revolve around violations of several articles of the portuguese constitution, and of the law of religious freedom, a petition to the portuguese parliament has been set in motion to extinguish the legal entity that represents the jehovah's witness in portugal and remove this community from the national register of recognized religions protected by law.

  the petition does not seek to ban the jehovah's witness as a whole in the country.

  the petition denounces the institutional policy of shunning former members as a violation of basic human rights and psychological torture, and asks the portuguese legislators and judicial authorities to take action to stop this abuse, and suspend legal recognition to the branch office entity until the policies of shunning are changed.

  It'll be interesting to see how this ends. My hopes aren't very high but you never know.

  Another case of WT making up imaginary light. Hey who knew that by throwing in the word "perhaps" you have a fact.

  So am I understanding correctly that the special talk will now be recorded and presented to all congregations who's language is on the list? If so, it's another example of the control the gb is exerting over everyone. It is controlling more than ever not only what information is given but how it is presented. Most likely assemblies are next.

  When lacking education makes you say some eternal truths

  by paradiseseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think some of us are familiar with those jw facebook pages that post images that are shared by our contacts from time to time.. i don't know if this happens with english speaking jws, but in the case of spanish speaking jws many of those images contain some spelling and grammar mistakes.. but this one is killing me nicely.. .

  it literally means: "unless you use your life to serve jehovah, you will never feel empty".. beautiful :').
