  JWs Social Media and Alcohol

  by jw07 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a great part of social media's allure is that it makes some persons less conscious about revealing what interests them.

  i've noticed an interesting trend in how jws (that i know) express their use of alcohol.. i have around 600 associates on on facebook, and just over 100 on instagram.

  of that amount around 1/3 are jws, but i realise that they make the most posts about alcohol, and have the longest chain of comments on those posts.

  Why isn't the story of SAMPSON quickly and clearly regarded a myth?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  judges chapter 15:.

  14 when he came to lehi, the philistines shouted triumphantly at meeting him.

  then jehovahs spirit empowered him,+ and the ropes on his arms became like linen threads that were scorched with fire, and his fetters melted off his hands.+ 15 he now found a fresh jawbone of a male donkey; he reached out and grabbed it and struck down 1,000 men with it.+ 16 then samson said: with the jawbone of a donkeyone heap, two heaps!

  Finally Gave My First Anti-Witness After 11 Years

  by new light in

  2. friends

  hello one and all.. the local jws had a booth set up at my university today and something just came over me.

  i went to a computer, found a list of failed prophecies, printed and stapled it, and walked over to the middle aged woman and the 10-ish years old girl.

  the woman said "if you are interested in anything, take it for free.

  WT application of James 1:27 - looking after widows and orphans

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since the bible is clear on helping widows and orphans, needy, poor, etc, it's interesting to see how the wt twists these scriptures to make their followers feel they are following it when they really aren't.

  because it costs money to really help those and the wt wants the money themselves.. here are some wt quotes directly on fulfilling this obligation of james 1:27 -.

  help elderly get to the meetings -.

  I've never seen...or had help...or

  witnessed a jw christian help one another. They will advise to seek help from the community but we can't give back.
