i've never been a jw and haven't ever studied the bible or theology so it may be that there is a simple answer to my question that i'm not aware of, in which case, please forgive my ignorance.

however i have wondered about this for quite some time and have scoured the internet but i can't find any mention of the topic.

maybe someone here might enlighten me.

Did Jesus ever throw a tantrum as a four year old because he didn't get his way, refuse to eat his vegetables or date a young lady...Every young man between 15-18years old have one thing on their mind that weird feeling towards women.I would love to sit down with Jesus and ask, how were you able to deal with that strong human emotion I bet you took a lot of cold showers.....That's' why that part of story is missing, I would love to hear what the others kids in the neighborhood have to say about Jesus as a teenager, he thought he was GOD.......

Do religious people fear that their religion may be wrong???

by James Mixon in

because there are so many religions in the world and it is obvious that no matter what the truth is, a large population of people will be wrong about it.

we at one time believe we had the truth and 99% of the world population were in darkness, but i wonder about folks in other religions today.

speaking with a christian friend about this and he told me," that's for god to decide, i hope i'am serving god"...the sad thing about all of this if one die and still believe in his religion, he will never know he was in the wrong religion.

I hate to admit this but I had no idea about the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians until 1990's, my eyes were open. You ask people why are they fighting( in the 1990's), is it religious or about the land...I came across a book (can't recall the title) and it told about the history of Israel.I learned from the source and that is when I became an Agnostic. I study with two young Mormons, my daughter-n law is a Mormon..I realize how can I have a intelligent conversation about your religion if I don't know what's your belief..We as JW's was well informed about every religion in the world, yes our knowledge we received from the university of the WT left no doubt we were all wise and your religion was wrong.......So today there is one religion I know it's wrong, JW.......

Governing Body-Part of Great Crowd

by TakeOffTheCrown in

it appears that the governing body members today are part of the great crowd and are not of the anointed.. to those with some knowledge of the subject, is it possible that the christian congregation would eventually be lead by those who are not anointed?

"Take off".."GB mindset is fleshly". G.B. member...."Jehovah there are a few sisters flying around in very tight wings and some brothers need to wear underwear under their robes".. Jehovah..How the hell did you get here....

phone scams

by zeb in

jw
friends

i received a phone call, "is that (name)?".

i was working my way around a car park and answered.

"yeah hang on" at which the caller hung up.. this is a scam where they are wanting you to confirm who you are so they can move on identity theft.. the voice was male clear like a professional announcer.. i have reported this to the relevant authorities.. i have also frozen my bank account..

James Mixon

I received this call several times, I pick up and there's a pause and I then say hello. The same lady that call before,

"sorry I having a problem with my head set". I told her you call here a number of times with the same excuse, head phone problem..She hung up......Yesterday I got a call on my cell phone while out on the golf course and I was having a bad round. (Me).. you have the wrong number..(Caller) but sir I haven't told you who I'am calling for. (Me) Ok so who are you calling ??(Caller) who is this? I told him don't call my damn number anymore and hung up.....

What was it like being a JW in the 1960's and 1970's

by UnshackleTheChains in

this is obviously a question for the older generation.

i'm really curious what it was like to be a witness in the 60's and 70's?.

was the society as strict as it is today?.

James Mixon

"He trained himself to eat leaves for when the great tribulation arrives", I'am speechless. I wonder did the society realize they were making people nutty as a fruit cake..

Apostate carts

by Normalfulla in

so i've recently been travelling about usa and mexico and of course seen the carts parked at tourist spots all over and i had a funny thought ...if somehow we could get a bunch of identical carts together and print up a placard with a few key facts about the real truth with jwfacts logo and just park them right in the same areas ,dress up in our old meeting clothes and stand about with a coffee and look on our phones i wonder what response we would get from anyone ?

or park them outside assembly's and just stand.off at a distance ...basically the same thing they do to all society !.

James Mixon

No need for apostate carts just walk up to their cart and announce," I love you brother or sister but I hate your organization"...Watch them load up and leave..
