  It's strange, Christendom's clergy put no cumbersome loads on it's members, maybe

  give more money. All they request, be there on Sunday and put in the collection plate.

  What do you think would happen if the minister sermon was on "Christian conduct in the

  bed room", He would be preaching to a lot of empty pews come the following Sunday.When

  you think about it we received different sources. Where does their message come from,

  from their own creativity that's why we had new light every few years.

  I could kick myself...

  on other people shoulders". 1 Corinthians 4:6 "Do not go beyond what is written", clap or don't clap.

  And the false prophets, who today is known for their end of days preaching.

  What do JW's think when the read those scriptures, who do they think the scriptures are talking about?

  Who did you think the scriptures were talking about when you were a JW and why.

  I don't recall talks on these subjects. I now know why, it would be self-incriminating.

  it seems that some co need much more $$ and in some countries they started to promote multilevel sales among their contact network.

  have you been involved in any offer of such nature?

  Is it a cult? Oh brother can we clap?? Will we be DF if we clap or don't clap?

  Can I hold my husband hand doing the meetings, what's the fitting way for

  a JW to use the bathroom,how about the latest info on marriage mates in the bedroom?

  One other thing I would like to ask, can you explain the overlapping generation thing?

  Elder: I don't have any idea, but New light on clapping you can clap now.

  So much BS, that's why so many are brain dead.

  The WT is a evil organization, that's why I know there is no GOD. The world today is

  moving on to a more benevolent society and the WT, taking two steps backward.

  I'am so happy they received New light, otherwise I would still be cursed (a black man).

  Evidence of a10,000 y.o. massacre demonstrates that it is in our biology to be aggressive and lethal

  by fulltimestudent in

  attention can be drawn to both the age of these skeletal remains and the conclusions that can be drawn.. .

  skeletons dating to 10,000 years ago, bearing marks of a violent death and possibly bondage, provides fresh evidence that prehistoric hunter-gatherers did not necessarily live in bonhomie.

  disturbingly, two of the 12 people found by lake turkana, kenya were not marked by signs of violence but seem to have died with their hands bound, a team of archaeologists reported in nature on wednesday.. we know prehistoric humans were armed to the teeth, but it's an open question against whom they wielded their stone knives and spears – animals, or each other.

  "If I wasn't born a JW, I would never have become one."

  by OneEyedJoe in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've seen it mentioned by a few on the forum that at some point there was a realization that had they not been born a jw, they never would've converted no matter how many times the jws tried to study with them.

  this was my experience too, and i'm wondering how universal it is for those that were born-in but eventually left.

  i think i started having this thought (more specifically that if i were not born a jw, i would surely have become an atheist by now) in my late teens.

  No way in the hell would I had become a JW if it wasn't for the ex wife. She

  felt a cult would save our marriage, surprise it didn't work. We both were raised Baptist.
