  Nobody at work knows what JWs believe

  by Athanasius in

  recently susie, one of my co-workers mentioned that her husband's family were all jws.

  the family converted after susie's husband left home, so he never joined the jws, nor does he intend to.

  anyway another co-worker asked her: "what do the jws believe?".

  Simon,

  Thanks for all your work.

  For those who are still in... What do you do about field service?

  for those of you who are still in because of family circumstances, what do you do about field service?

  do you still go regularly, sporadically or not at all?.

  if you do still go, how do you manage?

  "Just don't overthink the truth"

  so after almost a year of complete inactivity and non attendance, i ran into a nice brother from the local congregation.. after some nice chit-chat, he says "we really miss you and your family...etc...you were always the kind and supportive one, the approachable and encouraging one in the congregation.

  your absence has confused so many".

  i thanked him and said "oh no, no individual has stumbled us.

  A traveling overseer was asked for help in dealing with doubts. His advice? "Get a hobby." Which translates into, "Find something unrelated to spiritual things to occupy your mind so you don't spend so much time THINKING."

  one of the things i could never understand is people handing over absolute control to these charlatans.

  i know over the years they have bashed owning pets for various reasons.

  complete stupidity.

  There was also a talk at an assembly or a convention. It warned against letting pets take up too much time, as from meetings and field service, or cost too much money to care for.

  Died Due To Refusing Blood Transfusion

  by rrb2016 in

  well, last monday my mother, a jehovah's witness since her baptism in 1968 died last week because she would not accept a blood transfusion.

  she was 76 and had lung and skin cancer.

  i know that the cancer would have gotten her anyway, but she was bleeding internally, and was told that she needs a blood transfusion, as her blood count went all the way down to 3.2 (should be 12-14.

  I'm getting baptized

  by BlackWolf in

  2. friends

  i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.

  my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

  i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

  It was suggested that you bring up the Australian royal commission, but it seems likely that if you do that your parents will suspect you of doing outside research. As OTWO said, "Don't be an expert like you have been reading outside materials."

  Resolutions at Kingdom Hall

  by sieborg in

  2. beliefs

  anyhow i got to thinking today about my days in the borg and the resolutions that would intermittently be made in the announcements for co visit expenses, sending a donation to society www fund etc.

  my point is that while i was in (almost thirty two years) i never once saw anyone put up their hand to vote against a resolution that the body of elders proposed.

  on a couple of occasions i heard a few hushed murmurs but i never saw one person vote against.

  The last few years I attended, I would happen to go to the restroom before certain resolutions were discussed.
