  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.

  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.

  My thoughts for the new year....

  after just over a year on ex-jw boards i hope that we all are able to step back for a while and gain a better view of where we individually are in our lives.

  the more involved i get- the more frequent my visits are here the harder it is to keep things in balance and in perspective.

  it reminds me of the constant meetings, bible (jw lit) studies and field service while a jw.

  Do you still expect to live eternally?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since leaving the watchtower, do you still believe that you will live forever, here on earth?

  some might think that heaven is the final destiny, while other may just believe in this short life and nothing else.

  what is your belief and how does it affect your daily life?

  I know how they do it!

  alright it has only taken me 25 years but i have worked out how they get you to believe.. in all the publications they always present both sides of the story in a logical and often scientific way.

  this makes you feel that you don't have to research further because you already know the other side.. the truth is they don't have the truth.

  Is Warning re Possible Lawsuit Required?

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is just a general question for anyone who might have some legal background on the matter.. if (and i expect there will be) an announcement is made to our former congregation that we are "disassociated", can i just go ahead and sue them (individual elders in the congregation) for slander and defamation of character?

  the decision to make the announcement is one that has to go through the body of elders, right??.

  is it necessary, when the elders come calling, to say "i will sue the shirt off your back and the bloomers off your @$$ if you make any announcement that slanders my name or defames my character to anyone"??

  Disturbing material in May 15, 2002 Watchtower

  by spender in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the questions from readers section, the question was: "would it be advisable for a true christian to attend a funeral or a wedding in a church?".

  to analyze this wonderful piece, i'm going to use their words, and translate them into real english.. "being in a group where everyone else is engaging in a false religious act, a christian may find it difficult to resist the pressure to join in.

  how unwise to expose oneself to such pressure!".
