  Just out of curiosity who does this include:

  I am also glad that I am not among the lost that will be spending eternity in Hell

  Who are "the lost" that you speak of? Muslims? Atheists? Wiccans?

  Just curious. . . .

  A good question to make JWs 'think'

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of us have experienced the frustration of trying to convince a friend or relative that the wts is not what it claims: an organisation backed by 'god'.. of course, it is very difficult to prove a negative and a real die-hard believer will explain-away any evidence of wrongdoing by the org.

  as they are trained to do so well.. i have found it good to reverse the question and ask them:.

  "what would the wts have to do to convince you that it wasn't god's organisation?".

  Tried that. . . still didn't work. My mother was the person I asked and she simply refused to explore the possibility that the Society could do wrong? She just kept asking well then who'd be right? I told her don't worry about other religions worry about the one you're involved in.

  She basically refused to even put the question in her mind. I think she felt if she honestly asked, "what would they have to do to convince you they were wrong", that that was somehow a betrayal to the org.

  Also, any JW would just say that it was a fault of imperfect man, not Jehovah.

  Dying you will not die?

  by Kagloo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have a question that has puzzled me since i got my large print bible...... in genesis 2:17 it states.... but as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.".

  the footnote reads.... lit.. " dying you will die.

  " okay i understand that... .

  This is how I understand the statement. He simply said that from the day that they ate from the tree on they would start dying (like so many of us are "dying" right now) but will not die until the body completely deteriorates.

  The real question is: was the Devil's statement more true than God's?

  Who gave the JWS a bad name?

  by Monster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is something i have been thinking about for a while.

  xjws survivors tell us, when they were being sexually abused by members from their own khs, and they reported the abuse to the elders all they got in return from elders was, "wait on jehovah he will set matters straight" .

  now i can't for the life of me figure out why didn't at least one elder reason that , jehovah was leading the victims to the elders so they could receive justice he was trying to set matters staright.

  Ever heard of Bill Bowen? He was that very elder who stood up for all of those abused children. Unfortunately he got booted. That's why none of the others stood up.

  how do you respond to stupid questions?

  do you honor them with an answer or do you just ignor them?

  Depends on who's asking them. If a child asks a dumb question then I'd answer.

  Do JW elders get paid.........

  do elders or po's or co's or gb's people get paid and if you know how much?

  They most definitely do not get paid. I know this because my father is an elder and we were always just making ends meet with his paychecks, never any extra. As far as CO's and DO's go I believe they get all expenses paid for everything (travel, car, room& board) and some spending money. The GB probably get the same but I don't know for certain.

  Someone once on the board did say that CO's and DO's got monetary bribes though. .

  2. friends

  i have only posted a few times so far, and i dont want to sound like a constant complainer or whiner, but i really need someone to talk to and some feed back.

  we used to go to the elders with problems, and i have turned and leaned on you all now.

  first i would like to thank you all for your kind and caring feedback.. my daughter has broken my heart.

  If she's underage I'd get custody of the two grandkids until she shaped up.

  Starting studies not a priority

  my best friend got to see something that i would have loved to see.

  he manages a gas station and mini-mart, and he is in the enviable position of being on someone's magazine route.

  i have been nagging him to bring me the magazines, but he keeps forgetting.
