  Goodbye JW net

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  forgive me for indulging in a goodbye but it would feel wrong not to,.

  i hope the discussions and atmosphere here do not change for it is a bubbling brew of doubt, bravery and sincere hunger for answers.

  these are healthy ingrediants for humans and especially for a jehovah's witness.. this forum offers not just the ability to ask without consequence, but it also offers the means to be real.

  Hey snare, sorry to see you go, your knowledge of evolution has been really helpful to this exJW, even though I think most of your book recommendations are terrible! ;)

  All the best for your future.

  Been asked to share my experience at church!!

  my vicar asked me if i and another lady would like to say a few words about our faith journey.. she said my story was a particular powerful one, what with the da'ing and subsequent shunning.

  i can also choose a hymn or christian song.. i was thinking of romans 8:38, 39 to highlight the shunning and the other scripture ne of how true christians will be indentified, if they have love among themselves etc.

  i need to look that one up exactly.. any ideas for content for further content??.

  Romans 8 is a great choice!

  I did something similar before my baptism and used Luke 15.

  Evolution: A Satanic Theory

  there is an excellent new article at jehovah's trumpet.... friends, the following article is not about masturbation, oral sex, anal sex, or homosexuality so it may not be appropriate for children.

  please use godly wisdom when deciding if your child is mature enough to consider this material.

  we are going to have a frank discussion about the theory of evolution.... .

  Sophie's request was from 4 days ago, I expect her request was for the purposes of this article, and that she doesn't need an ExJW anymore.

  Currently the most read article on the BBC site. The top picture is Oxford circus station, I work near there and have to see the JWs every day, which is very annoying!

  I thought Scott Terry's interview was good.

  Drug addicts and Christianity

  by free2beme in

  i will make this clear, i am not a christian (but i am a former jw).

  i have noticed a trend among christians and something i wanted to discuss.

  it is that those with the strongest faith, the deepest emotional connection to hope and swallow the stories of the bible the deepest.

  JWs use baptism as their initiation ritual, the doctrine is irrelevant. Their stance on baptism is very weak, for example there's no scripture that compares baptism to public dedication but that's the key element of baptism to a JW.

  now that england have slightly spoiled my world cup with their early failure, i am focusing a little more on the tennis.

  i happen to live 15 minute walk from the wimbledon tennis courts so am completely caught up in the atmosphere, i will be joining the queue with a friend thursday night, camping out for the ticket queue early friday morning.

  What a final! Shame Federer couldn't pull it off.

  What I love about tennis is how the top players all seem such cool people. Rare in sport.

  Being a JW would have been much more enjoyable if this was more common, one of the things I don't like about the JW religion is the refusal to encourage their member's talents, this is a good thing.

  As a side point I don't really get the comparison to pentecostals here? A bit of entertainment hardly makes them charismatics.
