  What do you drive and why?

  by Escargot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, a post on the good ol days got me thinking about the vehicles people drive and why.

  in the jws, a vehicle had to be appropriate for service, four doors, holding at least five.

  i remember back in 1978 i bought an mgb and the brothers had a fit (hehe), i was selfish, etc.,.

  I had a black chevy malibu with sun roof and leather seats, you know the works. After my accident I drive a 1994 dodge Dakota truck. I have a back injury and need to sit up high. 4wd truck is so practical in snow country.

  What should the WTBS do?!?!

  by LDH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well guys sorry i haven't participated much lately, i've been really busy.

  but, i do have a question that i would really appreciate all of your input on.. it is no secret that young people are leaving jws faster and faster.

  it is no secret that most jws are disappointed, and hurt by lack of prophecy fulfillment.. so here's what i was thinking: i'm going to post some very personal thoughts on what *i* think they need to do in order to stop the loss of almost 50,000 disfellowshipped and probably 4x that to inactivity.

  Yeah, let the women have the say in running the WTBS and the men should wear the short skirts and be in subjection to their wives for a change.

  We were helping special pioneers work territory down South. The area was very poor and of black ethnic. I went on a bible study with my pioneer partner. We didn't see an outside toilet. I had to use the restroom and asked to use hers. The study left and came back with a dusty toilet or bedpan and set it in the middle of the room for me. I was very modest in those days. We didn't want to stumble her, so my partner said it was against our religion to use bedpans. so I excused myself and went outside.

  I realized the WTBS would get me killed if I stayed and obeyed their rules. They know nothing about domestic abuse.

  I was a stay at home mom who did seasonal work at factories and some work at Wal-mart. The last job was janitor work for state university. But after a severe car accident, I now can't work. So l surf the net and plan my escape from the WTS. Life sucks if an occupation defines you.

  Does anyone here believe the Bible?

  by sawthelight in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ive noticed many posts relating to evolution and i'm just wondering does anyone frequenting this board believe in the bible?

  it seems that just because most have bad experiences with the wt that everyone here is an atheist.

  i myself was something at least of an agnostic for quite some time after breaking free of the borg, but now i see things in a different light.

  The Bible is a good book with good principals. Do I believe what the WTS teaches,No. I'm back at the basics before I accepted the concept that the Bible was God's inspired word. I remain a humanist.
