My boyfriend is a JW

by little_red_birdie in

jw
friends

i am just a young teenager, and my first ever boyfriend is a jw!!

at that time i didn't even know what a jw was, no one at school ever really mentioned anything.

i had no idea what i was getting into.

hi birdie,
looks like some people don't think you are who you say you are. i must admit i thought the same thing, but decided to respond to you as you presented yourself. if you are a kid you need kindness if your not a kid you need kindness too. so what is the difference.
a lot of girls and women think thay can "change" or "help" there boyfrends. well thay can't change them, at best some can help there boyfrends but at a price to them. i think the posters that ate advising you stay with your frend and "help him" are looking at the benefits to your frend ignoring what it could do to you. you are not his savior. you don't owe him. take care of your self. life is confusing enough as it is without taking on the job of junior exit counselor. trying to help someone else to find himself can get you lost if you are not well crounded and stable. being a frend is one thing, seting out to save a lost sole is somthing very different.
pray for him, care for him, but don't get wrapped up in his problems.

little_red_birdie hi,
i'm sure your frend is a great kid but he is involved in a very dangerous cult. at your age in life it might be best for you to move on to boyfriend nuber two and leave the WT and your boyfriend behind you. i wish i could say somthing else. somthing like it'll be OK just geve it time, or you can help him. but i can't, you are in a difficult position for adults to handle, for a young person entering there teen years it is too much. i'm sorry and wish you and yours well.

maybe i should have been disfellowshipped, according to why it is done.

willy_think

Im not here to bash the WTS

if you are here to learn what the WTS is and what it did to you. you came to the best place. there are good people here to help. i hope you get to know some of them.

WASP TRUTH

by Victor_E in

jw
friends

never place a period where god has placed a comma.

gracie allen.

this forum is an excellent domain for the expression of subjective and relative truths.

willy_think

hi Victor,
well said, i get a sense of peace and understanding from your thinking, it sounds like your in a good place now.

If we view ourselves through the eyes of JWs we can easily understand how JWs are victims themselves unable to freely and objectively treat us any other way other than what the Tower has mandated to them.

i think, the towers mandate has a profound effect on not only how we are treated but how JWs treat there kids and wives. When I hear how JW must bare sole responsibility for there actions. i can't help but think the tower is only a sand castle disappearing beneath the waves when the water of responsibility gets to high only to be built up again when the tide of consequence withdraws

Help me out here, I'm having an argument

by ballistic in

jw
friends

what i'm debating is this.... and creationist probably wont be able to help.

reproduction is the driving forve of evolution, so why does evolution not simply favour the genes of those that reproduce the most...i.e.

not the most fit, intelligent, etc.. and if this is the case, why does the world not fill up with rampant nyphomaniacs?

NT Only for the 144,000?

by ItsJustMe in

jw
friends

is the lightbulb that just clicked over my head correct?

does the society teach that the entire new testament is written only to the 144,000?.

____________________________________________

willy_think

as i have come to understand the WTs "truth" the NT is only for the 144,000. only thay need to "feed my sheep". only thay are commanded to teach the "good news". only thay will recieve the heavenly rewards through Jesus's grace. the rest of us can only live by the law and wate for the end time.
if i may say, i think, the WT has made one class "christian" and left the other class "jews". but gave the "jew" class all the work of the "NT christian" class but none of the reward, and never grace.

Does the light of truth really get brighter?

by sleepy in

jw
friends

heres a way that i think shows that the witness idea that the "light is getter brighter " is flawed.. the reason often given for it being the case that jehovahs only reveals things graduly is that if he revealed things all at once it would be too much for a person to take.they would be "blinded" by the knowledge.. so on this reasoning then we must concluded that before 1995 people were not able to cope with the idea that "this generation" was not talking about poeple born in 1914, the light would have blinded them.. in that case why does this new light not blind people who come into the religon today?.

they have gone straight from the "darkness" into the most resently revealed light surely they must be blinded and would need first to learn all the past knowledge that is now considered wrong before they could cope with this new light.. this idea is so stupid.. children who are born today will learn straight away about the way the world works they will learn of gravity , spelling and maths in school.things that people living hundreds or thousands of years ago did not know.

since when has accurate knowledge "blinded" someone?.

willy_think

when you make croocked what the lord made straight, you might use an analogy as an excuse like "tacking"

when you continueously cange the "word" that was spoken once and completely, you might use an analogy as an excuse like "light geting gradualy brighter"

as excuses go for the ever canging doctorine of the WT, analogys can fool some of the people some of the time, and that is the best you can do if you are acting without biblical support.
