there is a goodwill store in the town i live in , ive noticed that everytime i go in there there are always jdubs in there,is'nt it a bit hypocritical that members of a religion that not only is not charitable and in fact discourages charity,is more than willing to take advantage of the charity of nonmembers,ho they say are doomed to be destroyed..

Prayers that God answers. Any examples?
by punkofnice in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
when i believed in god i tried not to pray for anything selfish.. after a while i began to think that a lot of things i was asking my imaginary friend in the sky for were selfish for some reason.. i do not ever remember a single thing i prayed for ever being answered.

if there was the appearance of an answer it was because i did mental gymnastics to make it fit the delusion that god had actually answered me.

there was never an obvious message/answer from god.

JWs and E-Cigs
by TheClarinetist in
1. jw
2. friends
the other night, two of my jw coworkers were sitting out enjoying an e-cig with one of my other coworkers.

i knew from earlier that there was tobacco (well, nicotine) in it.

out of curiousity, i did some minor digging with my worldlytm coworkers and am pretty darn sure that these guys aren't doing anything else questionable... are active jws allowed to smoke e-cigs now, or did i just witness some extremely minor teenage rebellion?.

2. entertainment
since i have stopped attending meetings i have realized that there are alot of good t.v.

shows that i have missed as well as channels that i would not watch because they would no doubt be in opposition to the scriptures(har har).. .

i have been watching the history channel and the discovery channel so much over the last few months that it is amazing.
