  Watchtower Doctrines JWs most commonly don't believe

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there was a recent thread on another site where posters maintained that many of the *most* long-standing jw's don't believe at least one official watchtower doctrine.

  i've even read reports from bethelites saying they've heard bethel overseers say they don't believe some watchtower theology.

  this made me think - i believe there are a few official doctrines that are common for many jw's to be either in denial about or simply not really believe ( often one and the same thing).. i'd say these are pretty high in the ranking:.

  Cute: A Goose Quacked And Pecked At A Cop’s Car. When He Followed Her, He Couldn’t Believe What He Saw!

  officer james givens has served with the cincinnati police department for over 26 years, but has never quite experienced anything like this before.

  he was sitting in his patrol car in a parking lot when he got an unexpected visitor.

  a goose came up to his car and started pecking on the side of it.

  note to the circuit overseer:.

  use this outline for the tuesday service talk from september 2017 through february 2018. you will need to prepare your own 30-minute service talk for use after the watchtower study.

  How does one cope with the sudden and unexpected loss of a parent?

  2. experiences

  my dad died of a blood clot as a result of surgery late last year.

  to say that his death created a bottomless void in our family is an understatement.

  i think about him every day, sometimes constantly.

  Thank you all for your comments, suggestions and kind words. I have been feeling a little bit down and lonely lately. But I actually feel a little better after starting this thread and discussing my feelings. I really do not have many people to talk to directly, not even my wife. So I appreciate this!

  I think that the hardest part is knowing that I will never see him again. This is contrary to what I have been taught growing up. I have lost many friends and family over the years and have never really grieved that much because I was going to see them again. Now that I know better, the greatest loss to date has happened. Ironic.

  Thanks everybody. Even though he died 9 months ago, the events of that day are still fresh in my mind. I find myself playing the same sequence of events in my head, from the time I got the call from my sister to the time I walked into the hospital room and saw his lifeless body. It’s almost like a tape recorder on a continuous loop.
