"...if you are being wholly yourself you can't conform to all the dictates of the WTS."---jgnat

jgnat, I don't understand your question. Are you talking about me personally or about a hypothetical JW who has doubts?
in my hall there have been three individuals baptized in the past 2 years and.
they are all children of jw families.
we have quit a few pioneers so there is.
"If witnesses were told that they no longer have to turn in our hours the emotional let down would be overwhelming."---Sour Grapes
I disagree. I think many would be glad to not have to turn in time anymore.

itisme, I agree with you. You can be a witness and be yourself. You just have to focus on your personal relationship with Jehovah and not let others stumble you.
i saw this on pinterest, and it made me think about the great global preaching campaign of august 2014. this is what i think whenever i absentmindedly take a flyer from someone.. .
when someone hands you a flyer it's like they're saying "here you throw this away.
" mitch hedberg.
When I give someone a tract, I'm saying "Here's your chance for everlasting life. Take it or leave it."
i think so.
they rejoice over celebrating the 9/11 attacks..
We are in far more danger from our own government (false flags) than from anyone else.
"which generation is this?
why, the one that saw the beginning of fulfillment of jesus prophecy.
that means people alive in the year 1914. how many remain?
I'm ready. Bring it.
ask any jehovah's witness you happen to see to explain the recent changes to the anointed and faithful slave, most have no ideas how they are robbing all authority from the anointed jws to keep for themselves.
they can't even explain the "overlapping generation", how can we expect them to catch the errors this dogma is teaching them.
this article is written by someone who knows about jws and explains in details how bad this doctrine is, it's full of holes!.
Ding, if you think that anointed sisters care about such petty things, you're mistaken. They're thinking and dreaming about heavenly things, not earthly things. The Earth cannot contain their dreams.
how many of you exjws or active jws did or do the e ercises at the end of each quality in the school guidebook when given an assignment?
.
i have never done any and the overseer never seems to bother to ask.
I never joined the TMS. Terrified of public speaking. Door to door is all I can handle.
the society always speaks about all the wonderful people and characters in the bible.. they always too speak of many of them as being so humble, faithful, loyal, diligent, loving, kind, wise, merciful etc, and worthy of imitation.
also of how god blessed them followed by endless examples and reasons why we today should imitate them.. .
they also speak of how wonderful it would be to meet some of these people in the future 'new system' and have often depicted scenes where the the survivors of armageddon would be gathered around some ancient resurrected faithful asking them questions and listening to their stories of times past.
I like the righteous ones. I'd most like to talk to Noah. Did he ever see the angels in front of the garden of Eden? What did the materialized demon angels and the Nephilim look like? How did people react to the ark he was building? Did people try to get into the ark when the rain started falling?
