  back when i was a boy in the 1950s many men wore hats and so did my father.. one evening at the kh he was called in to the backroom by the elders for a 'meeting after the meeting',.

  his crime?

  he had been seen raising his hat when greeting women!!!!.

  Toilet paper was invented by the chinese AD1391 The bureau of imperial supplies began producing 720,000 sheets of toilet paper a year,each sheet measuring two feet by three feet. For use by the emperors united states packaged toilet paper in 1857. The chinese were pagan so the JWS should not be using toilet paper. It should be a disfellowship offense.I think its very worldly to use toilet paper. what do you think? yucca

  Isaiah 44:24 I am the Lord who makes all things who stretches out the heavens all alone who spreads abroad the earth by myself John 1:1 In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. v2 he was in the beginning with God v3 All things were made through him and without him nothing was made that was made. Also Genesis chapter 1 tells of God creating heaven and earth Jesus is not Michael the angel

  after reading for a few months this is my first post here.

  i was raised a jehovah's witness by my parents who became jw's in the late '70s from field service.

  i'm still a jw but doing a lot of researching on the history of the wts.

  what happens when the news leaks out...

  i've split from my husband.

  he first da-ed himself, which shocked the nation of family and friends.

  and now, we've seperated.. note: i have, since the da-ing "incident", begun fading, but i live 1000s of miles from the nation of family and friends so they are clueless as to where i am at.. so now that people are hearing that we are seperated (although i have yet to tell any elder, so that in itself should be interesting) i've been getting the weirdest phone calls from wit friends i haven't heard from all year... and this morning, i received an email from an old brother in my parents hall back home.

  One of the biggest flaws in men is they dont value women. This is a big reason women get divorced.

  Jw's and rape

  by KW13 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am a teenage lad btw...

  i was shocked to read that witnesses teach that unless a woman doesn't shout out and make it clear they dont feel like being raped today, that they basically consented to it.

  how stupid is that?

  The JWs are wrong to use those old laws.The scribes and pharisees interpreted the ten commandments in that day. When Jesus came he called them (scribes and Pharisees) snakes and vipers. Jesus talked against the laws of the Pharisees.Woe to you scribes and pharisees,hypocrites ye blind guides you have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgement,mercy,and faith. for ye make clean the outside of the cup and platter,but within they are full of extortion and excess.Outwardly you appear righteous unto men but within full of hypocrisy and iniquity.Jesus warned the disciples Beware of the leaven of the pharisees. Jesus said the Pharisees bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders.So why do the JWS follow the Pharisees . Yucca

  When was the last time a witness knocked at your door as a friend, not FS?

  .

  although i've been bapized back in 1988, and never was disfellowshipped, the last time a jw came over here as a friend, was about 15 years ago.

  oh, and i'm not shunned..... the only witnesses who knocked on my door in the last 15 years, were elders, in "uniform" in the field service.. now, imagine if i was really shunned......

  I cant believe this some witnesses are here. My son in law who is a christian pastor took some print outs from silent lambs to give them. My daughter and I are xjws.They took the print outs and said we will let you be. Now we wonder if they will read them or throw away. My son-in-law does know know about JWS so we have educated him. He had no idea what they have been teaching til we told him.My son-in-law told them you teach Jesus is Michael an angel there is no power in that.So with Gods help the seeds have been planted and we pray they see the light and come out of that sick religion.

  How Suicide Will Increase Among Jehovah's Witnesses

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not a psychologist but a little logic tells you that somethings got to give.. i see too many witnesses who are falling into the "escalating commitment" trap.

  your life is a mess, so you find the "truth"!.

  next, you commit yourself further by dropping college.

  Is this Bible warning a valid one?

  by scout575 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at hebrews 10: 26,27 the bible warns those who would consider leaving christianity: "for if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgement and a fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

  " is the bible trustworthy in saying that those who leave christianity are certain to experience a dread of judgement by god?

  In the new world translation Isaiah44:24 says I Jehovah am doing everything.stretching out the heavens and the earth by my self,laying out the earth. john1:2 ,3 it says Jesus All things came into existence through jesus by means of jesus was life since it plainly saids Jesus is God you need a personal relationship with Jesus. So its Jesus you believe in and dont leave not the Jehovah witnesses version of christianty,
