How long do you think being a JW will affect you?

by Adam in

i haven't been on this board for a while.

i've been on a conservative ezboard trying to see if we can't do something about political issues.

i've also got a new job, had to get the car fixed, been best man in a wedding, and watched the two towers on vhs.

I'm another one of the the lucky ones that was born into the borg. I spent all of my life and raised 2 of 3 children in it. Lost all of my family including the 2 children. So without a doubt, it will affect us the rest of our lives. But we are working thru the problems as they hit us. We resigned officially about a year ago. We have never felt as free as we do now. Our last child expressed that she is happy not to be a part of the borg any more, and that makes it all very worth it!!!

you were raised a catholic, right?.

M outhy,

I have been reading that scripture all my life and I didn't know it said "KNOW" . I always thought it said taking in knowledge. I just looked it up in five other translations and they all said KNOW. I'm still being amazed at how the WT has hacked up the bible to suit themselves.Thanks for the info. Robotnomore.

name the things you don't miss about going to a dc!

---getting there so early and then find that the "servants" have saved all the good seats

---not having time to make a decent lunch and getting admonished about not buying from nearby vendors.

Robotnomore

Rocking side to side in your seat to try to keep your arse from going numb.

Trying to keep from getting a knot on my head when I fell asleap in my chair and my head fell over and bumped the top of the chair.

I sure don't miss the ties around my neck!

Robotnomore

Where are you going when you die?

by Mystery in

a questions that has been on my mind for 20+ years that i have been away.. and more recently - a friend of my sons was killed.

he ask me "mom where are you going when you die?

" i am worried because if you die, i don't know where you are going.

Robotnomore

I believe that if you have faith that Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you have him in your heart that you are saved. When you die then you go to heaven to be with the Lord. Example: Criminal hanging beside Jesus on the Cross. My 2cents.

Did Jesus use real wine or grape juice at the last supper?

by Robotnomore in

i was talking to a friend and they said that jesus didn't use real wine because he would not put any alcohol in his body.

she said that when jesus was hanging on the cross and they offered him the pain killer and he refused proves that he wouldn't take alcohol.

so in their communion at their church they use grape juice instead of wine.

Robotnomore

I appreciate everyones viewpoint on this. Its interesting to see. It looks like most lean towards it being real wine.

The article that Jgnat posted is very interesting. It brought up the point that the Jewish people were not allowed to have anything that was fermented or leavened in their homes at the time of Passover. So that would seem to rule out it being real wine.

Was the WT wrong about this too? You would think that they could at least get the Memorial right! NOT......

So in their Communion at their church they use grape juice instead of wine. Do you think it matters if they use wine like it says in the bible or grape juice?
