  What Would Grandfather Say Now?

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my late grandfather believed he was one of the anointed.

  that aside when asked about whether the jw organisation would last, he would pull out the attached wt magazine (the second edition) and say "if the day ever comes when the organisation asks for money outright, it will be proof that jehovah is not it's backer.

  " that's how convinced he was that such a thing would never happen.. i often wonder what my grandfather would make of the modern organisation today..

  Are we losing our way a bit at JWN?

  by nicolaou in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  firstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.

  it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.

  i am not bashing jwn - i love this place and appreciate the hard work and expense simon puts in to keep it going.

  What are the JWs saying about Trump?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as much as jws say they are neutral, they can't help but discuss politics and label them as either bad or good and somehow connect it back to their dogma.

  i remember hearing them discuss it all the time when i was a jw.

  i can't help but wonder what the r&f are saying about trump and the many, many controversial events surrounding him.

  Not posted for a year because mum died did not want blood.

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i posted here weekly until a year ago when my mum died of a mild form of lukemia which is easy to treat with 2 blood tranfusions a month.

  you can live to 100 with treatment, but no my mum chose to die a faithful witness after 2 years of chemo and hell for her family and doctors.

  her chemo doctor cried when she only had weeks left to live knowing that she could be saved with one bag of blood!
