  hi,.

  with the layoffs of bethelites and special pioneers, does anyone know if they get some sort of "redundancy" payout?

  Lets start a "Go Fund Me" for those special pioneers being kicked to the curb by the GB,.

  lots of great potential to help those sp that are being sent off without any financial help from the wtbts.

  i think that it would be a great way to get some exposure on this topic and how the wtbts thats those that dedicated their lives to the wtbts only to be sent packing at a late age.

  then someone can take the funds to one sp couple, possibly, and give it to them in honor of the apostates that know what is really happening.

  Pretending Jesus existed and the Lord's Evening Meal is true... The Memorial is wrong...

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  2. beliefs

  jws celebrate jesus death according to 1 corinthains 11.. fine.

  once a year since it's on the jewish passover... fail... since thats tonight not last night but..... lets overlook that... jws from new zeland to london observed the memorial on april 2 by western clock... of course all in the western hemisphere did this on april 3rd wheevr the sun went down.

  thus a domino effect in the jw congregations took place starting at the date line going back to the same spot 24 hours later..... well this is pathetic in many ways... if the jws worshipped in spirt and truth according to john 4 (i'm an atheist ... i don't care) they would observe on jerusalem's time zone according to the gospels and 1 corinthians... but they dont....

  Need advice, really wanna play COD

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well my ps3 is downstairs because i had no idea how good games looked on tvs that weren't older than you are and i've run into a problem.

  my mum doesn't know that i have "bad" games like cod, gta 5, legend of zelda and final fantasy (yeah ik last two aren't that bad but loads of religious stuff and magic) and it's getting harder to keep it a secret.. i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i should go about this.

  should i just wait a while and slowly introduce the idea to my mum that i play these games or should i just come out and play them and act like it'a nothing?.

  Premarital sex--how prevalent?

  by wafflesandpancakes in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  in my old congregation, everyone seems clean.

  mostly chaste courtship, kingdom hall wedding, blah blah.. well there are lots of cases of fondling but they were soon forgotton.

  when my husband and i confessed to sex before marriage, the elders were disgusted.

  Blood, what is the spirit behind the law?

  by CookieMonster in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  during the years when i was an active jw i never questioned the ban on blood transfusion.

  i have been inactive now for a number of years and even during those early years i reasoned i will never accept a blood transfusion.

  however, thinking about it with an open mind, i question the current teaching of jw's on banning blood transfusion on any account even if it means saving a life.

  Your own mortality, how do you cope with it?

  by CookieMonster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been a lurker here and an inactive jw for a number of years.

  i've always had some annoying doubts but brushed it aside but over the last few years i've had time to "think" away from the wt.

  perhaps there is no paradise, maybe no god and this life is all there is.
