euphamism: do you or anyone know of any spanish forums? i dont get why these JW sites are not even allowing lurking anymore, you'd think they could count it as service time.

How did all the animals fit on Noah's Ark?

by hooberus in

.

many skeptics assert that the bible must be wrong, because they claim that the ark could not possibly have carried all the different types of animals.

The dubs at "Witness World" are discussing UN involvement!!!!!

by somebodylovesme in

i am a lurker on the "witness world" witnesses-only website.

they are having a discussion because someone during door-to-door service confronted them with the un letter.

they are all saying that it is "obviously made up"... but the person is planning on writing to the society to ask.

Azalo

those two definitely sound like "infiltrators". i used to read jw zone and i dont think i ever saw the mods allow a topic like that get that far. maybe the mods there are 'gasp' apostates too.

Tips For Lurkers To Get Out

do you have any suggestions to help jehovah's witnesses who visit this site get out of the religion?

Azalo

Who is You Know? I've read some of his/her weird apocalyptic posts and was just wondering as some seem to know who he/she is.

Didnt mean to hijack thread...

as per topic, I think that if you are lurking you have already made the most important step which is to open your mind.

JW Friends

if you are no longer associating with jws either from fading or daing or being df'd, do you miss your jw friends?

have you found over time that the void was filled and you no longer needed them?

did you in fact find out your life was happier without them?

The ones I miss are ex-JW too but I cant get a hold of them because I've moved so much since then that I dont really have a way to get in touch with them. The couple that are still in will still talk to me but we dont live in the same city so we dont hang out or anything and I think if I did live in the same city we probably still wouldnt hang out cause I wouldnt want them to be put in a difficult spot. but i know they're there if I need them.

TELL YOUR FAMILY! Listen, your family doesn't know you feel this way, they are being so overprotective to try to avoid exactly this. If you sit them down and explain to them that you do not want to be a JW, do not plan on ever being baptized and nothing they say or do will make you change your mind, what can they really say or do? You have to be calm about it. I would reccommend you tell your whole family at the same time. Make sure you plan it out so you can articulate it intelligently and dont come off like an illogical rebellious teen and no matter how heated they get just stay calm. Things can only get better once it is out there, at least you will not have the burden of your "horrible" secret. The elders or cong need not get involved since you are not baptized. Your parents might want you to talk with the elders, if they do fine, go along with it and just express the same reasons to the elders as you did to your parents.

How do you know that your sisters do not feel the same way as you? Maybe your sister seemed so intutive because she recognizes the same thing in you that she herself feels. Maybe your courage will give them the strength to do what they have wanted to do but were too afraid, just like you. Maybe they will all shun, of course that is possible. Let me tell you, I come from a very strict family myself and I thought that they would shun me and I am baptized but its been over 8 years and I have a great relationship with everyone in my family but 1 sister who still talks to me but kinda shuns me but not really. (she's weird)
