  Old time JW's did some very devout JW's refuse to eat pizza with pepperroni because they believed "blood" was in the pepperroni?

  i have never heard this before until i read a life story of an ex-jws and how some jws in the past refused to eat pepperoni pizza because they thought blood was in pepperoni.

  i do know some elderly jw sisters would complain about eating steak if it bled while cooking.

  has anybody else heard of this pizza nonsense?.

  this is my first time now that i'm registered.

  i've been reading here for a while though.. it's been a long journey to get here, but now i have turned my back on everything i've known for such a long time, but a new road lies ahead, and this is one of the first steps on it.. .

  Welcome Benjie (and family) to life on the outside. It is a good story because I can think of many people who are still keeping up the pretence and I cannot imagine the mental struggle it must be giving them. It is a lot easier that you have no family in the JWs, but even so, a big step and a worthwhile one.

  be very careful regarding giving links to copywritten material on a public forum. the wtbs has in the past gone after websites for copywright infringement. Small quotes are ok due to fair use doctrine however cw works in their entirity is a no no.

  But he only gave 14 seconds of anchorman, funny as it was, oh wait you were talking about......... (I must have a woman's brain trapped in a man's head)

  A truly amazing story, thank you for sharing, so glad you saw sense and did the right thing, what a pity your parents and siblings couldn't see it. All the best for the future.

  non believers what if your wrong ?

  by unstopableravens in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i do not wish to debate anything here like i have said in the past i have much respect for most on this forum (believers and non believers) i am simply wondering if the atheist or non god believers every worry about what if your wrong?

  it seems that many who were jw for so many years attach jehovah/yahweh with the watchtower and since the wt is wrong than god does not exist.

  i ask this question only because i care about people and salvation thats why i want to help as many as possable come out of this cult,and since i truly believe in god i dont know what is in the cinscience of those who dont.

  unstopableravens, I don't believe there is a god who cares, but I care and live life accordingly, is there anything wrong in trying to live and good and decent life without having to answer to a god?

  WT Elders school: Look how cute that kindly old elder is! Too bad the Talmud says we have to stone our victim anyway

  by sir82 in

  more haphazard thougths on the recently concluded elder school..... a big chunk of time was spent on a video which traced a judicial case, all the way from the confession to the elders through the decision to disfellowship the guy.. here is a very brief synopsis of the video:.

  tearful late-teen or early-20's publisher confesses to 2 elders that he committed fornication with a "worldly girl" who is now preganant and wants to marry him.

  the elders give him some "homework" to do prior to his judcial committee - read psalm 51 and an old wt article.

  A few months after I had faded I bumped into an elder, he said I was missed as all my points I raised in the elders meetings were always backed up by scriptures. I found it an odd comment to make, until I read the above.
