We elders were weird, we were the mouth for Jehovah and I must admit we spoke some weird stuff. Think about it, the GB are in left field and they were our guide ,stupid leading the stupid or the weird-Os leading the weird.

I can drive from west coast to the east coast if someone is in the car with me, but I can not drive a mile on the freeway alone. In 1971 I drove from California to Brownsville Texas through Mexico to Belize pulling a trailer, today my knuckle turn white when I drive two blocks to the store alone.

Do you (or did you) have much of a social life as a Jehovahs Witness.
by UnshackleTheChains ini ask this question out of interest, because as a jehovahs witness for some 26 years, i have always felt that there is an 'all work, no play' culture within the organisation.
the organisation doesn't promote social gatherings.
i could count on one hand each year how many get togethers we have had.

Social life in the 60's and 70's was great, beach parities, camping out, sports, gathering and lots of booze, square dancing, Jazz concerts, fishing, graduation party for the young ones (high school), once a week brothers would gather in our local gym for basketball (we had some great games). Yes those were the days, friends would stick around after the meetings and have meaningful conversation and then the sh--t hit the fan..1975....

Satan in Heaven
by pleaseresearch inthis has always baffled me.
that is why was satan and his demons allowed to be in heaven for so long after they split from god?.
if we did that then we are out of the congregation, members are shunned and also kicked out of families homes.

by James Mixon inso why do we have a decline in religion..if god would wipe these militants groups off the face of the earth i might believe there is a god.....so they (sufis) practice some strange things, veneration of tombs, the sacrificial slaughter of animals and what is termed sorcery and soothsaying, that is no reason to kill 25 children and 280 adults.

Bringing reproach on Jehovah's name.
by ScottyRex ini have thought long and hard about this, you know in those midnight hours.. you will probably string me alive in what i say, but here you go-.
i feel that the jw's do have the truth.
i do agree with the doctrines and biblical exgenesis they propound.i do feel that they have the 'truth' i do understand they are imperfect, and i think they have had to 'refine' their teachings as time has gone on-and change accordingly- i see nothing wrong with this.

What is the benifits to living forever?
by Jayk incan anyone give me a valid reason for it?
growing old is a drag.
the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..

I guess there will be no injuries in paradise...But suppose you are out hiking in the hills and you fall a mile down and land on your head or you are walking in the forest and a 500lb grizzly bear forget he is in paradise and tired of eating grass and decide he wants a drum stick (your leg). I guess paradise will be accident proof, how fun that will be..You will be able to sky dive without a parachute..
