  2. beliefs

  i'm agnostic.

  there could be a god, but i don't believe it's the god described in the bible.i grew up a jw believing in the bible.

  after i left, i didn't want religion but was determined to be a christian on my own.. but things started to unravel.

  One christians ask me, how do you know when Adam was created? I told him the Bible, counting back from Jesus. He then told me I have never read that and who knows when God created man. I told him the bible tell you, and the flood 4000-5000 years ago. He told me I have no idea what I'am talking about, and I sound like a crazy man.

  What's more important, being true to yourself or hell to other people????

  this question is for you folks that are considering leaving.

  it will be hell for your love ones (they will get over it), but for you are you true to yourself.....i was watching documentary "trinidad" the sex change capital of the world, colorado.one of the transgender person made that statement, "true to yourself".

  sometimes we believe our situation is the worst in the world, but if you haven't seen this documentary it will make you think...happy to see the city embrace the transgender community....

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses view the governing body differently since seeing them on the TV?

  i think this may be a bigger issue for the society than we realise.. when you consider that witnesses have now had well over a year of regularly seeing their 'channel to god' with their own eyes, what do you think they're thinking?.

  i'm going to put this as respectfully as i can; these men are clearly a bunch of utter clowns who are laughably inadequate to present a tv show, but also, they are now ridiculously discredited due to the absolute shite that they've spoken in these laughable productions.. consider things from a jw's perspective; tony morris, stephen lett & geoffrey jackson are 'the channel' that makes their religion 'special'.

  these men are the channel god is using to lead his people in the modern day.

  ok...so i'm a 19 year old fifth generation jw.

  mentality, i've been out of the "truth" since i was 16(woke up after i was baptized ironically), but on the outside i'm a model jw.

  my parents are really devoted, my grandparents are super devoted, and so are my ants and uncles.

  Stop the bleeding, you are 19 and some day you will get married. Do you really want your kids raised in that organization. Make a stand and look to the future, it has turned out well for many here..There is no easy way to leave, especially in your case (5th generation)...It will be difficult in your situation I must say, but isn't happiness the most important thing in life. And welcome!!!!

  Did Jesus have money??Luke8:1-3 Money was given to him by many people because, the crowds would give money if they enjoy a ministers message (ok that may be a problem). Yes several wealthy supporters also gave as well (that may be another problem). Jesus spoke against the love of money but he didn't turn it down. VI: a single elder is not a bad idea....

  What happens to the elders?

  by Worldling9 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with so many khs closing and congos consolidating, what happens to the elders?

  clearly there won't be a place for all of them.

  would the older ones be the first to go, losing their long held positions of 'power'?.

  My sister Church Sunday celebrated older members day, seven 92 and older. One lady has severed 75 years as a usher and still seating folks. There was a topic here"they look so old", yes it's stressful being a JW. Making the comparison with older members in my sister church and older JW's, the folks in my sister church seems to be more energetic and look a lot younger. Older members (JW's) are pushed aside when they are not serviceable....

  Selloff Hinted At Assembly

  by thedepressedsoul in

  the last talk at the assembly made an interesting statement, "we can show faith by following direction if we're asked to move to another kingdom hall for better use of dedicated christian funds".

  this statement has everyone talking.

  i spoke to multiple individuals and they heard the same thing at different assembly's.. i know they have been "evaluating" all kingdom halls the last year or two.

  The Debate Is Over...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for years theologians and historians have researched who the historical person known as jesus was and how much of the biblical account could be verified.

  countless books have been written going into great detail.

  this has been a controversial subject with some even claiming that jesus never existed.

  steve2: we must not forget, remember the brother who did his research in the house of the Wild Beast (UN), and when it came to light the sh--t hit the fan. His research in the UN library, in Satan's house. LOL
