  i was depressed yesterday because i put in the first $40.00 tank of gas.

  (i drive a toyota matrix -- i'm sure most people should think i should shut up now ...) .

  i was hoping you guys could make me feel grateful for only having to pay $40.

  Bible Study Student With A Ton of Questions

  by AddaGirl in

  2. friends

  i am both new to this forum and new to the jehovah's witness organization.

  i am currently about half way through the 'what does the bible really teach?

  " and have been attending both sunday services and ministerial school for 3 months.. my biggest problem is that, being a researcher by nature, "verifying that all things are true," i have also been researching the organization which has stumbled me greatly.

  Why don't JW's change their failed methods of witnessing...

  by zeroday in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  going out in field service monday thru friday 9 till noon, knocking on empty doors while most people are away at work.

  knowing no one will be at home.

  why is there not a massive effort for evening witnessing when you know most people will be home and able to be reached.

  if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?

  have i ever misled you?

  i'll answer that--no!

  .

  i never had a problem with going door to door except for the holidays.. one, i felt like we were intruding on our neighbors who set aside time be with their loved ones.. two, it just made me feel more different and jealous that i was not celebrating the holidays with my family.. any thoughts?

  Bethel: Pathway to Apostasy

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at the 'big house' you go either one of two ways, company man or apostate.

  i think for many that went, it demystified the whole organization and you saw firsthand that there wasn't holy spirit influencing anything - only the muses of sheltered, out-of-touch old men and political bureaucrats.

  i work in the corporate world and i saw just as much if not more politics in bethel.

  by spopeislandstyle in

  2. experiences

  i was molested by a brother in my congregation when i was nine years old.

  when i told my mother she went directly to a family friend and respected elder to seek advise.

  a couple days later, he and another elder made a visit to our home and questioned me for hours.
