  Just wanted you to know, none of you are intriguing. Rather, you're all quite repulsive.

  not saying that's my personal opinion, but this week's congregation bible study asks the viewpoint question, "would apostate literature or internet sites intrigue you or repulse you?

  "- jeremiah book, page 70, para 7. .

  gotta love it.. i guess apostate sites are like crime scenes.

  i was wondering how a baptised jw see wordly people?

  Non JW involved with a JW

  by LostInTranslation in

  2. relationships

  i am a non jw who has been doing a fair amount of research on my own in hopes of finding some answers and understanding for my current heartwrenching situation:.

  i have been dating a man for the last while, and we grew very close, very quickly.. .

  suddenly he has pulled away from me, gotten very skittish and says he feels like he is leading a double life, and isn't ready for a relationship.. all the while stating that his impending divorce is the reason for his cold feet, which could be understandable except the marriage was very much "over" long ago.

  We Believe...A Short primer on Witness Doctrine

  by stuckinamovement in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we believe that 99.9% of earths population will be soon put to death because of their unrighteousness and hatred of god.

  this probably means that you wont make it.

  sorry bout that.. god is using us to warn the entire world of mankind.

  Am i worthy to partake of the bread and the wine?

  by TimothyT in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i need to ask a serious bible based question regarding the bread and the wine that jesus passed around on the night of the passover.. i understand perfectly what these mean, and i understand their relevance, however im struggling to understand, after 15 years of indoctrination, if i am deserving to partake of them.

  today at the baptist church, we were all offered the bread and the wine.

  i wanted to partake but i still feel that i do not have the right to, as i am not of the chosen nation.

  Is there a reason to remain a JW other than for family?

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this strikes me as an important question.

  in my short time on this forum it strikes me that many contributors are quite open about keeping a foot in both camps.

  some are apparently even elders, serving in positions of authority within their respective congregations.

  Need help waking up a JW friend - Significant prophetic years in JW history

  by SweetBabyCheezits in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  guys, i have a chance to help an old friend but i'm pressed for time.

  i'll be googling while i'm waitin for responses but i thought others might have some great sources that are harder to find.. first, can anyone recommend a list or website that lists all the infamous years that russell and other leaders expected to have special significance?

  it's been too long since i've read up on all of that but i'm thinking about the years like 1799, 1874, 1881, 1910, 1914, etc.... but i need it to be concise, like a table, and i must be able to list references to scans at least.
