  Are You Surpised By What You Don't Believe In Anymore?

  by minimus in

  1. jw

  .

  jehovah's witnesses must "believe" whatever the watchtower bible & tract society publishes.

  now that you aren't forced to accept beliefs that you might not have wholeheartedly endorsed, there must be many different things that you don't accept.....what comes to mind?

  Class Distinction Within The JW Community?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  1. jw

  has anyone noticed that jws who appear to be higher up on the 'socio-economic' ladder get special treatment at the kh?

  no matter how many khs i've visited, i've noticed that jws who are not well off socially/financially/physically are treated with less respect/dignity than those with a business of their own, or just a higher quality of life.

  i've been to many 'gatherings' where jws filter themselves out according to race or socio-economic standing.

  Just heard from a friend....

  i knew this was going to happen sooner or later.. while the local congregation has shown no interest in why i haven't been to meetings in over a year , i do have friends from afar (witnesses) who i feel do care about me and my family.

  i heard from one of them today who tells me she has, what the doctors say is, a very serious case of breast cancer.

  anyways - besides telling me all about that she had heard that i was highly inactive and wants me to start getting back on track because she wants to see me in the paradise.

  How Did You Feel Witnessing For The Last Time?

  by SpannerintheWorks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  whenever i have conversed with one of jehovah's witnesses, i feel that they are 100% convinced that the wbts is "right".. on this forum, we have many people who were once one of jehovah's witnesses, but now totally reject it.. how did you feel witnessing to people whilst you no longer believed in it, or knew you were about to leave?.

  spanner.

  what are you using your time to do , that you couldn't do before when enslaved to the decrepit old men of the org?.

  i'm now determined to throw down my squeegee , and become an artist.. yes i am ashamed to admit i am a window cleaner.. i have always love drawing and art, but was adviced in school that if iwanted to be an artist i would have to be determined and be totally focused in order to succeed.. but knowing i had to pioneer and go to the meetings etc i knew i wouldn't have time .so i choose to let go of my dream and waste my talents in order to serve god by selling magazines.. in fact the "truth" took up so much time that i almost gave up drawing , i cant draw well unless relaxed and i have plenty of time, in fact my favorite time is early morning when i wake up.. now i have no meetings , studying etc i have lots of time to draw and i just cant stop.. i don't know much about getting into the art world , but looking round different galleries i've seen and comparing my work i belive i can succeed.. i'll give it my best shot anyway.
