  Looooooooooong Prayers...

  by likeabird in

  2. beliefs

  let's have a bit of a laugh.. .

  who of you rolled your eyes when brother never ending prayers was called up to give the closing prayer?.

  who of you then proceeded to tap your feet, fidget loudly or start doing balancing acts off the back of the chair in front of you while waiting for it to end?.

  Another Newbie

  i recently came to the realization that the organization is corrupt and is false.

  my story is similar to many i think.

  i was raised in the religion, pioneered and served as an elder for a number of years.

  by TotallyADD in

  2. friends

  when i got home today from work my wife showed me a 5 page letter from our oldest son.

  he basically said he does not what anything to do with us because of all the wrong things we did as parents to him and his brother.

  he blames us for not being there for him and we are toxic parents.

  Does being a "born in" blur parental vs JW issues?

  2. experiences

  thank you to the many people who have posted their experiences and advice on this site!

  i have browsed a few topics but the threads that i seem to gravitate to the most deal with family.

  there is certainly a lot that i can relate to in many of the anecdotes i have read.

  JULY 15th Study Watchtower - NEW LIGHT IS FANTASY

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the july 15 study watchtower uses all 4 study articles to try to inculcate into every witnesses' mind that the governing body is indisputably god's sole channel of communication on earth.

  to do so, it uses a multitude of scriptures along with seriously flawed un-inspired reasoning.

  the foundation stone of this watchtower's blatant agenda is the claim that when jesus used only a few to dispense the physical food to the many, he was setting a principle which would be applied to the distribution of spiritual food after he returned to heaven.
