  Blood issue

  by Happy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe someone can offer an answer to a question i have, that no witness as of yet has been able to answer me satisfactorily.

  how can jw's even think about denying their baby or child a blood transfusion in a life or death situation?

  i would think that when elder pious says, "you know brothers, sisters, jehovah god does not want us to take blood, even in seemingly deadly situations.

  Jehovah's Witnesses Should Show An Identity Card

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i went to the public talk given by the c.o.

  and the whole theme was that jw's should wear an identity card so that everyone would know who they were.we should feel happy that by our merely voicing our position as jw's, that everyone knows what we are and who we stand for.

  we should be happy to make a stand and sit down for the flag salute, to show we won't worship it.

  running scared - Elder sighted off the port bow!

  the repercussions of my argument with my mother on the phone the other week are starting to make themselves felt.

  let me be clear: i've been disfellowshipped from the org for two years now.

  i'm loving my freedom of thought.. so i was talking to my mom [still in the borg] and started expressing myself on various subjects on which i disagree, or at least see room for philosophical "wiggle room" with the society's viewpoints.

  the bible making sense

  by jurs in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  before i had started studying with the jw's i had tried to read the bible.

  it didn't make sense to me.

  (in all honesty, i didn't try real hard nor did i put forth alot of time into my readings).

  2. friends

  i am not a witness, and i have never been one, but i have a very close friend who is a witness, and have done a lot of reading about the wt and i am well aware of the many evils of their teachings.

  but i am not posting to insult the boys in brooklyn.

  my friend that i mentioned earlier is currently a witness, and i am wondering if anybody has any idea how i can help her deal with her situation.

  Are there too many EX-JW Born agains?

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i dont wish to offend anyone but this is what i think.a large number of people who leave the jehovahs witness movment become born again christians or join other religious groups.but is this a sign that many who have learnt that "gods chosen organisation" is wrong have not learnt anything at all?.

  maybe the prospect of facing a future without a god , a divine purpose , and a faith just too much for some people to bear.but in joining another religious group are they not making the same or similar mistakes as before?they are still putting their trust in a ancient book written by people they have never met, interpretted by other people or by themselves, they have not maybe learnt to be analytical in their thinking and to withhold trust until reasonably solid evidence is provided on an issue.. although other religious may or may not be more harmful than jehovahs witnesses if lessons on thinking and reasoning have not been learnt then we could be open to many more errors of judgment in our lives.. so does the fact that many jehovahs witnesses join other religons show that they are just moving on rather than understanding why jehovahs witness are wrong and learning from it?.

  maybe they dont fully grasp that the fudamental flaw to jehovahs witness , is belief in the bible as gods word only the second being following that through an organistation .if the bible is not gods word then all religions who follow it are flawed.. of course what other people choose to think or follow is none of my buisness and i fully respect other peoples right to believe what they want, but if this world is to progress and mankind to improve in thier dealings with one another then we can not all go round living in our own little fantasy worlds , we must be brutal with ourselves in checking why we believe the things we do and trying to align our minds with reality not fantasy.. this apllies to all aspects of our lives.but if we are not honest or open minded and reasonable enough to see there are some massive problems to the bibles authenticity and divine declerations how will we be able to make reasonable decisions in other areas of our lives?

  Most embarrasing Wathctower you had to place

  man they used to come up with some corny topics, and even worse covers.

  it made an already unbearable task even worse.

  the top of the crap pile for me was trying to place a magazine entitled the salty drink that saves lives.
