  When Cowards Run a Religion

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  once upon a time, judge rutherford stood before a crowd in madison square garden.

  the audience included many catholic action types who could have easily included an assassin.

  the judge may have been a lot of things (well,..... drunk, ego-manical, adulterous, and dishonest, actually) but he wasn't a coward.

  we find god's name "jehovah" so many times in the old testament, but not at all in the new testament.

  jesus is called a "mighty god" in the bible.

  jesus is also called "father".

  Reconciling with Dad

  by jws in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as you may or may not know from previous posts, i am a born & raised jw who just drifted away (no df/da) from a father and two sisters who still keep the jw faith.

  and while my father is aware that i have "apostate" beliefs of some kind, he prefers not to hear of it.

  as a result, we still enjoy each other's company and nobody has "shunned" me.

  JW Kids Leave the Organization: Facts

  by Maximus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the october 1 watchtower 2001 features articles on training children "properly" and dealing with a "prodigal child.

  the latest inside u.s. figures reveal that 86% of jw children leave the fold, with some 29% who eventually come back for reasons of family ties, most never "reaching out.

  " that means over half leave permanently.

  offered humbly for your perusal,.

  i saw this interesting post on h20.

  most publishers are unaware how things really work many times in the back room of a kingdom hall.

  sure there are lenient elders, many do try to show mercy.
