  Hello...

  well, i've been lurking for a bit.

  first out of cautious curiosity, then, though feeling a bit more comfortable to post, got caught in the confirmation email anomaly, and left unable to post or participate.

  so i remained lurking, reading and researching.

  “Do You Know the Time?” From WT Sept 2018

  by skin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is a one page article in the current wt study mag, sept 2018 pg 22 with the title “do you know the time?”.

  in that article it describes a number of different ways you can say the time is 1:30. it goes on to say “there are even places where that same time could be expressed as “half two,” meaning 30 minutes before two”.

  what i would like to know is this, where in the world does “half 2” mean 1:30?

  In Afrikaans here in South Africa "Half Twee(2)": is actually 1:30

  https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/jw-celebrate-holidays/.

  mostly we read about the regular holidays in the western world.

  now the other ones are also named, because some witnesses could be in doubt .

  Do Jehovah’s Witnesses tell others not to celebrate certain holidays?

  No. They believe that each person must make his own decision. (Joshua 24:15) Jehovah’s Witnesses “honor men of all sorts,” regardless of their religious beliefs.​—1 Peter 2:​17.

  I call Bullshit ..... my JW husband is always pushing his Ideas & beliefs on me & everyone that he thinks needs to hear about it ......

  i just overheard an anointed acquaintance on the phone with a friend of hers who has just had surgery for cervical cancer.

  among the snippets of dialogue i heard on my end of the line, these ones stood out:.

  "you lost a lot of blood?

  I asked my JW husband a few weeks ago what would happen if myself or one of our 3 children needed a Blood Transfusion what would he do ......

  Well I was very surprised by his answer ....

  He said that the decision would be left up to me & he knows full well that I would allow my children & myself to get a blood transfusion if it meant it could save our lives ,

  His reasoning been that it wouldn't affect him as the organisation knows that his wife & children are not JW's so it would be my sin to carry ...... But I feel that it's his way of working around this crazy rule & saving his kids & wife's life if need be .... and thank goodness cause it worries me daily .

  Is this still their view about "Those resurrected"?

  by Snoozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do the jw's still teach that those resurrected will not marry and be without a sex?

  (eunich).

  can't help but think that it is the same with those hit with radiation during a bombing.. .

  So What happens to all the children ? Do they stay children or do they become adults ? Or do they just get wiped out cause they weren't baptized ?

  Oh and by the way I have asked my Jdub husband the same questions posted here & I get the same answer .....

  We will see when we get there ....... #faceplant

  WT Child/Sexual Abuse Cases and etc

  by jdash in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i had this argument with my grandmother and uncles about scandals that the jw's covered up and whatnot, and they won't budge.

  i brought up the australian royal commission and of course they laughed.

  they then said that the governing body has never lost a sexual abuse case but the "person" who did the crime got charged.

  Don't worry jDash my Jw husband sounds exactly like your family .....

  He was quick to tell me about the Catholic Priests who got caught for Sexually abusing children here in South Africa and how bad been Catholic is Bla bla bla .....

  But when I mentioned the story in The Guardian about the JW sexual abuses cases & the 34million the one victim got paid .... he told me the same thing , he said that they where all lies made up by people who where disfellowshipped .... So u see they have their heads so far up in the clouds that , no-one can show them the light .

  I even asked him about the 2 witness rule & he basically ignored me ......

  LOL :) My uber JW Husband is the same .... So don't feel alone ...

  I often get myself into hot water with my Worldly sense of humor & then I get the whole JW explanation which is as boring as watching paint dry ....... But hey if he don't like it he can move along , the children & I find silly stuff funny ....
