  thanks for the internet

  by cyrus in

  2. friends

  hi all,just thought i would just say thanks for the internet.

  how many of us would know the truth about the org known as jehovahs witnesses without the internet?how many of us would still belong to that group and not be listening to that voice saying :come on use ur brain u know its all rubbish ,were is all the love u were promised .it doesnt matter how many hours u spend in sevice just do ur best.armageddon is just round the corner (30-40 years still not here round the corner)this is gods org where else would we go if not here?

  jehovah is the loving god that will murder at least 5.000.000.000.000 people including babies and other children that will die because thier parents are not jws .oh,and u must be joyous over this because jehovahs justice is beyond reproach but saddam hussien, hitler pol pot and all the other genocidal maniacs of history are evil although they did not kill a fraction of the people jah will do.

  hey everyone.

  new to the forum but have been reading earnestly many great topics, major respect to everyone who posts.

  anyways i'm an "active dub"(i use that term loosely never baptised and it pisses them off, haha) born and raised in it, i've had alot of the questions asked on here myself.

  BOD,
  
  Welcome to JWD. As to your question that's one that proximity would have a practical bearing. If this person was reproved and then moved a short distance away and was telling lies then a simple call between elders of the old and new cong would possibly happen. But if this person moved away and the elders have no reason to not believe them and no one is there to inform them, well....
  
  Can you tell us more about the actual situation?

  Disciplining babies?

  by bernadette in

  i'd appreciate advice.. i remember when i was pregnant the following exp was given at a district convention.

  an elder said that he started discipling his child from 9 months.

  he said whenever the 9 month old made a noise or cried at the meeting he would squeeze her.

  What were your reasons for becoming a JW?

  by Narkissos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reasons, not excuses -- even valid ones (like, "i was ignorant, depressed, fooled").. yours in the sense that you can still own (to) them -- even though you now know the "answer" was wrong.. this obviously applies to those who became jws -- hence mostly not born-in, although some of the latter might admit to having chosen the jw way for themselves at a certain stage of their childhood or teenage years.. this question is triggered by a previous conversation with purplesofa on another thread:.

  i think most of us that came in and not born in were searching.

  our hearts were pure in our search.

  I wanted to know and serve God and the JW's were the best I had found. My Uncle was one and and that impressed me as well. I was in the Navy at the time and had already decided I didn't want to be part of a killing process so the JW's made sense with that AND my grandfather had just died and the new system appealed to me very much.

  Those who are 50+, do you remember that there was an ice age coming?

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  2. friends

  i distinctly remember this from my childhood.

  i believe lots of concern and i suppose it was from the scientific community.

  now it's global warming, and i'm hearing that 99.9% of the "creditable" scientists believe it.

  Congrats to your hubby and the new person growing.
  
  Oh yes and to you too.
  
  Embarrassed about it huh? -- you'll be boring the crap out of us with stories about your baby shortly and will laugh at the idea you were ever embarrassed.

  Stealing the publisher's card - how beneficial? how successful?

  by Inquisitor in

  gee... the title almost sounds like a wts publication doesn't it?

  anyway, i remember how some of you guys talk of (and actually do) making your publisher cards magically disappear.

  two questions:.

  I believe that it's the biggest "proof" of baptism. So if someone were to say "prove it" concerning their baptism and no card was around I don't know what they would do.
