  Do You Realize How Much Being a Witness Has Hindered You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the truth is------- we have lost out on soooooo much, simply because we were witnesses.

  it might b like almost starting all over again, for some of us.

  what hits you as to what you could've had or have outrightly lost??

  I believe we lose and gain no matter where we are. I don't regret being a JW but then also don't regret getting away from it either.

  i just had a 40 minute discussion with two jw's.

  i told them i really can't believe jesus was ever an angel.

  i showed them rev 22:12-21. i told him that clearly states jehovah and jesus are both called alpha and omega.

  Have you thought about making copies of your letter and mailing to all of the JWs you know? This might be your last opportunity.

  How can jws be so stone hearted?

  by kls in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am sure the jws do moniter these and other places, but if they are so human and they read all the heart breaking stories on the sites they pry in , how can they live with what they have done to people,i mean just us here get choked up reading what people are and did go through.

  jws always say they are human they make mistakes, then how can they not have human emotions?

  sorry if i am just rambling , but i can't understand how they can be just stone but say they are human.

  You could also ask the question "How could people be so cruel and put Christ To Death?" When my son told me he would no longer be speaking with me, I told him "I Forgive You Because You Don't Know What Your're Doing"

  M.S visit last night (a bit long)

  by baysixforme in

  2. friends

  i arrived home after work last night, my two daughters were away on a residential course, my son staying with a friend.

  i was preparing a meal with my four year old when the phone rang.

  the call was from a ministerial servant from my old congregation.

  I think he's trying to save a "lost sheep"

  But then, it seems strange for a male JW to visit a female without his backup.

  How Many Reveal Themselves Totally On This Board?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some feel that you should put out a history of who you are, what your life was and is like now and express it in a very simple way so that everyone can "know" you.

  we've had posters say they were elders, elder's sisters, hurt jws, etc.

  it could all be a little fantasy.

  Do teenage JW's have a higher suicide rate?

  by thomas3004 in

  1. watchtower

  i read online that teenage jw's have a suicide rate four times higher than the national average.

  i was curious if anybody could refer me to actual statistics that could either confirm or deny that.

  i have a friend who was struggling with suicidal thoughts a few months ago and now her new boyfriend is trying to convert her to be a jw.

  Suicide is high for teenagers in general. I believe it's the second cause of death with accidents being the first for teens.

  I don't know of any witness teenagers who took their own lives but I am aware of few adult JWs who did.

  Gumby is correct. You wouldn't have made a good witness.

  They showed their true colors to you early in the game - Perhaps you should send a "Thank you" card.

  Birds of a Feather

  by Euphemism in

  yesterday i received a flyer in the mail from the seventh-day adventists.

  i knew that the witnesses were theologically an adventist group, of course.

  but i had no idea how similar they were in their proselytizing pitch.

  I've found lots of their old books at estate auctions. They're almost identical. Even the coloring of the books and pictures is the same!
