What is Gods name anyway?
by Shane in
1. jw
2. friends
i was raised a jehovah's witness all my life, though i don''t go any more, not till i fall on my head and not afraid to ask questions does this particular question come up.. what is gods name?.

people act as though everyone in the world speaks english, what about the third of the worlds population in china could it be that is his real name at this late date?

why do we assume that it has to be "jehovah" when it could just as easily be how they call it in china, or india, or arabia, or south america anywhere that there is a large population?.

"Please, Is there really truth anywhere of...
by Shane in
1. jw
2. friends
i want to know what truth" is if its out there some where surely god will guide me to find it, i don't want to die without honestly knowing for sure knowing i have found the so called "truth.

i have been stumbled by others and by my selfish ways.

in the words of the song "send me an angel," cause i sure need one.. maybe i am not of their sort as the bible says and as elders have labeled me, but i do want to live and exist somewhere, and see the light what ever and where ever it is.

Turning in your time
by Shane in
1. jw
2. friends
i never could understand this stupid practice of turning in your time of how many hours you have preaching, hell sakes god knows is that not sufficient?

i believe its one more way of mind control.. again surely god know who have been naughty or nice marking his list and marking it twice (as to who has talked to others ), its not anyone else business what others are doing in this regard.

Judicial Elder wisdom LOL
by Shane in
1. jw
2. experiences
i got to go into the star chamber a few years ago, i remember when the elders handling the my case told me and they all seemed to be in agreement with stupid remark: " now bro., i want you to go out and do everything you always wanted to do, and get it out of your system before you come back to us wanting reinstatement!

i was disgusted, i said: wait just a dam min your all supposed to encourage me not to sin and guide me inn ways of righteousness, instead your telling me to go out and sin?

i then said: "something's not right here, if there is a god someone will pay one day for mistreating one of his sheep.. question friends has anyone ever had the borg mp's ever say that to you?

Paying for Witness literature
by Shane in
1. social
2. current
it seems that its only here in the good old us of a that the jw's act like they are not paying for the books magazines and so forth, simply because of tax's.

what's my point?

its this: i never thought that true religion should ever charge for books and all the other, if its really gods true group then he will pay for it, is that stupid?

Family and its importance
by Shane in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
disfellowshiping or ex-comunication puts great strain on family members, it has been successfully used by other religious groups jehovah's witness's are no exception.

any group or government that can successfully put a wedge between family members is a threat to the whole family of man.. by using such phrases or reasons as: its for their own good or its being done cause we love them, or we wakening them to their senses, are simply rationalizing their actions.. think about this: monkeys shun at times one of their own, but the one shunned most of the time dies from it; are we higher than monkeys in love?

humans also die if shunned or become mentally sick depressed to the point of at times taking their own life, because if one has been a witness or other shunning group for all or most of their life who is now a support group for them?
