i have been a jw all my life, while i also have a "spiritual divorce", which means i can remarry a jw again.
i am not sure if i want to go that route again and dating in the jw world feels like a struggle sometimes.
with all the rules.
There is no such thing as a dating site. They are introduction services.
If I were single I would use match.com. you can see pictures and learn some things before contacting.
As said above, dating a JW is a mistake. you have to live by follow the rules and then your marriage is so divided.
im not a jw and never was but had a bad encounter with one , ie my gf was one .
anyway , i was wondering if fb pages are actually allowed , i thought the wt frowned upon them ?
here is one i discus in regularly , maybe take a look and leave a comment on the tripe they write , it looks very well done and presented ,https://www.facebook.com/honor.jehovah/.
"I thought the WT frowned upon them "
That is the reason to have one.
.
anyone have any ideas for discreet practical jokes i can commit?
anyone else going to cornwall, ontario this weekend?
For the women, get a blonde wig, if you don't have long blonde hair, and a light blue dress and dress up like Danaryous Targaryan and a name badge that says Khaleesi (or other GoT characters) and see people's reactions. Hack into the sound system and play Raines of Castamere or Game of Thrones theme.
i have just talked with the wtbts service department at 718-560-5000.. you can contribute for hurricane katrina relief efforts through your local kingdom hall and put your donation in the contribution box marked for the world wide work.
you may also send donations directly to the branch office... to the brooklyn address.
donations should be marked for the world wide work and not specificically reserved for relief efforts.
Giving for disaster relief is good. But just for the operation of a religion is bad. I would rather people donate to an animal shelter than a religion.
hello forum.
i started this topic because i had been thinking recently about a story that i had heard many times in different congregations over the years.
kind of a jw urban legend if you will.
now that the uk has voted to leave the eu i wonder how this will impact watchtower's thinking about the end times prophecies in daniel and revelation?.
will trump win the presidency, and if so, will he and whoever is in charge of the uk form a new anglo-american power?
what about the ten kings ruling in the time of the end?.
Oh, please.
The EU is nothing. They don't even all share the same currency.
The USA needs to take over it all.
anyone seen sister williams working her assests on the latest beyonce video?
what's the go, surely she is not a declared jw?.
she needs some serious council from jehovah, and i'm guessing bro sammy herd wouldn't mind being on that little committee.. the song is called "sorry".
If she has it, flaunt it.
in behalf of the horrific events of saturday night, i just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that islam is a religion of peace.
it doesn’t matter that the quran explicitly says that homosexuals should be stoned to death (7:84) - it’s still a religion of peace.
and it doesn’t matter that the scriptures say that all gay men should be killed (sunan 1:152) - islam doesn’t in anyway condone violence.. it doesn’t matter that every mainstream imam calls homosexuality a sin "worse the adultery" - it’s not a religion of bigotry.. it doesn’t matter that 61% of muslims in the uk think gay acts should be made illegal - islam has nothing against the gay community.. it doesn’t matter that countries with sharia law actively persecute the lgbt community - islam is all about peace and love.
Peace or not, like all religions, it is a waste of time and has not produced any results. People still die as that religion has not stopped it. It has not brought back the dead or fixed anything. No better than Christianity.
my rant tonight is against the quasi religious apologists that post on this board.
those who at once rail against the jw's then later talk about how "orderly" and "neat" the witnesses are at their conventions.
those who site the benefits of bloodless surgery to some who have the luxury and time to actually make an educated choice, while ignoring the tens of thousands who've died because they happen to be in an accident or succumb to a disease for which there is no other treatment.. i understand the power of cognitive dissonance.
There are things JWs have gotten right such as no trinity, no hellfire, not going to heaven after death, chronology from what the Bible gives (not that it is right but it is right from what little the Bible gives).
call me crazy, but i love to watch seminary classes when sharp teachers are in charge of the instruction.. in the following video, the teacher really nails jehovah's witnesses on john 1:1 with utter simplicity.. begin at 1 hour and 20 minutes in.. i've never seen or heard of this before.. .

IF it is that complicated to where he needs 1 hour 40 minutes and a white board all marked up and tracing history, then it is all BS.
OH, JWs are right about John 1:1.
