Will there be winter in the new system?

by Atilla in

so much snow this winter, but it reminds me of the silly conversations we would have out in service about conditions in the new system.

this one guy, who thought he knew everything because he had been to bethel and had been pioneering since the 9th grade, was positive that there would be no winter in the new system.

his reasoning was that since the whole earth would be made into a paradise with perfect conditions, there would be no real cold places like russia or even central pennsylvania.

The real question should be: WILL THE MEETING STILL GET CANCELLED IF IT SNOWS IN THE NEW SYSTEM???

you know how the dubs always say that good study habits and meeting attendance help keep you from "wordly influences" well it's high time we had our own antidotes i think.

jwd is a forum for jws and exes to get together and discuss things.

most of the things we talk about are jw related but not all things are.

we all have opinions.

The biggest LIE you believed as a JW...

by Waymores Ghost in

jw
friends

for me it was the belief that all people who refuse to become jws are intrinsically bad.

if someone doesn't accept the "truth", naturally it's because "satan-the-devil" has hardened their hearts.

when you're a dub, you tend to ignore the ramifications of this.

Well, there are a LOT of lies associated with the Watchtower religion.

One that really gets under my skin is the lie about shunning all ex-dubs (or, "apostates"). When I was a believer of the JW religion, I was scared of "apostates". In my mind (put there by the WTS), "apostates" were agents of Satan and they were seeking to devour us. Then, when I learned the truth about the troof, I realized that the WTS was (is) afraid of people learning about how corrupt and wicked the WTS is and that MOST ex-dubs were hurt, betrayed, disappointed by, or lied to by the WTS.

You accepted this assignment at the age of 12 to show the congregation that you were reaching out (You want to be a SerVANT...)

And now at the age of 34 you are the best damn mich handler in the circuit (Fastest in the cir-uh-cuit...)

From the left hand to the right hand and back to the left, and with the speed of a gazelle, you always arrive to the person before Mr. Watchtower-Study-Conductor calls out the name (There before the name gets called...)

Sure, people are gossiping about what's holding you back from being a servant, but you still go out there on any given Sunday and prove to the happiest people on earth that YOU are a Real Man of Genius!

interracial dating

by Maverick in

lazuli got me thinking....(thanks lazuli...feels good!

) about the wts and how its policies change peoples outlooks and values.

i was....as much as i hate to admit it....born in the northeast, but moved to the south as a teenager.

I am the bi-product of an interracial marriage (dad black, mom white). I look white. I grew up in a black neighborhood. I never had any major problems due to looking different than my peers. I earned everyone's respect and everyone earned mine. I have only ever dated black and latina girls/women (and one west Indian). It's not that I never wanted to date a white girl/woman, it's just that I was 90% of the time around black folks.

Ironically, my wife is also black and white and she looks 100% black. So, we APPEAR to be an interracial couple but technically we aren't. So far, in my 12 years of marriage, I have never had anyone say anything racist to us about us being together. Perhaps it's because I would kick their ass(es).

Regarding the WTBTS being anti-interracial... All you need to do is look at every cover they ever made. You will not find ONE WT or Awake! magazine with an interracial couple on the cover. That's all the proof I need!
