What Is She Thinking?

by thankyou in

i'm a non-jw guy.. joined this forum 2 weeks ago to learn about jw.

i enjoy the valuable intelligence, humor, and "community" it provides.. question:.

it appears that a non-jw guy is "off limits" to a jw girl-gal.

the universe is not old enough to consider all the possible happenings, take my take: The lady is a sincere female, believing in the deeper things deeper then wt doctrine, Evolution pushes her to find a father for her future offspring she is thinking marriage. recognized by her jw family in a kingdom hall ceremony. this is not going to happen if you are not baptized, She does not want you to become a shallow baptismal candidate, she sees you not moving into her mindset ( no man ever can)* and so, looking around to fulfill her ingrained need, she might already have seen a better candidate to date. after a year of unfulfillment it might be too late.

* can men read a lady's mind? no, but even if they could, they still would not believe it.

Silent And Sweet Rebellion Going On Within JW Organization!

by lsw1961 in

after 1975, the vast majority remained as though nothing has happened.

but some left the organization.

however, there arose a third category who did not leave the organization, but brought a new view into their heart: jws are right in their core cause (gods kingdom as the solution to mankinds problems) but may or may not be right in their supplementary teachings, hence are not bothered about changes happening in this unimportant area..

lsw1961

given in the OP—we attach no importance to any other teachings—we have only two things in our mind Dan 2:44 and Mathew 9:13.

only 2 things in our minds: so all the rest is gone --like brain-washed? and you are called sinners, does that imply the snake story is still in your mind? ransom. jehovah demanding sacrifice from himself, providing it, accepting it? and:

2) --We are linked by the genuine thought-vibrations, only the genuine ones feel like us, only genuine ones are in this group --

question: in what medium do these vibrations propagate, do you have senders, receivers? how can you verify this spooky action at a distance?

you are getting mystic.

he also has a blood clot doctors are working to break up.. 972-261-4412 is his cell number.. he was in a talking mood yesterday afternoon.. i bet it wouldn't kill him to get some well-wishes.. james goes back a long way as an ex-jw.

he knows where the bodies are buried :).

berrygerry--group think--, an interesting concept, finely honed by the WTBtS inc.

Does your group think that there was a talking snake, above Everest flood, walking on water, floating axes, sun standing still, reversing?

--- those who have cultivated Kingdom qualities are like the butterfly ----

sw1961

sounds exciting since the butterfly stage has all the sex in it. , but since Kingdom also implies rule, be wary.. sooner or later rule might show it's ugly metamorphosis again.

Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?

by cappytan in

jw
friends

a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.

world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.

so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

prologos

On November 5, a man was arrested in Bavaria, in whose car found policemen arsenal. And evidence that he wanted to go to France.

The Car was stopped on Nov. 5. on board: 8 assault rifles& ammo. 2 pistols, 2 hand grenades, 200 g of tnt. on the way to paris.

The Appeal and Draw of the Watchtower

by Saved_JW in

when i first left the watchtower organization in 2008, a flood of emotions came back to me.

betrayal, anger, resentment, deep depression from the relationships lost.

emotions seemed to guide my viewpoint of others as well.

prologos

Heaven only got involved in the selection process in 1919. :smile:

Heaven "liked the idea" ca, 1918 "Millions now living will never die" better than just "you will not die".

not dying a big attraction. one less thing to worry about; now, just concentrate on pleasing the elders to be appointed too.

Elder On Tablet During Prayer

by jw07 in

during a prayer in the kh all our eyes are supposed to be closed, right?

i've never been one to fully my eyes during prayers.

i'll close them down, but just enough that i can still peep around at what's happening without being noticed.. there's something i've noticed a certain elder doing for the second time now.

prologos

I like to watch the elder's wife getting all straightened up for the power trip after the closing prayer, all but correcting the lipstick, lashes and powder.

Raining before the Flood?

by GrownMidget in

i remember at my teen years when i was studying with a brother that he said to me that there was no rain before the flood.

instead there was this mist that you have.

never before or after this have i heard something like this.

And remember, this was only about two thousand years before Christ.

Or, just within one overlapping generation after the creation of Mankind.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses marriages even legit?

by Joliette in

jw
friends

i ask this because of the circumstances behind why they get married and who they get married by.

i know people say that they are really in love, they love jehovah, etc, but are these marriages even legit.

i've talked to older jw's sister who are now widowed, some of them say that they were trapped in a marriages.
