  Where Is The Jehovah's Witness Zeal?

  it seems to me that the religion is nearly dead.

  or dying.

  very little pulse exists for the organization.

  I'd agree that it's stagnant in the western world, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's still growing at an exponential rate in 3rd world countries. Besides all other factors I'm sure you'd guys agree with me that a large amount of baptees were born in the truth

  i stayed home sick from work the other day and noticed a car group pull up to my neighbor's house.

  she's a stay-at-home mom.

  i decided it was time to retrieve something from my truck to see if i could recognize the visiting sisters.

  Yes you most certainly should. Don't shoot down her faith in god or anything, and don't be super direct.

  Medicinal / Rec. Marijuana

  what is the society's current view on medical marijuana?

  obviously smoking is a no-no, but what about edibles, or oils (think they're called tinctures)??.

  All the young people support it pretty much. More and more are becoming OK with it since all the myths about it are becoming less popular. It's sort of like how the masses bought all the alcohol myths before the proabition.

  Question for the nonbelievers and atheists

  by nykid in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  what specifically made you stop believing in god and the bible?

  was it a steady road of doubts or it was reading one book or one major event that made you realize the bible was not what it's claimed to be?.

  Don't mean to derail anyone's faith, but for me it was reading the mosaic law, and how barbaric it is. What really pushed me off the edge is how God's law is perfect, yet it constanlty undergoes major changes. That was the main reason, a bunch of other reasons aswell.

  On Tattoos

  by tim hooper in

  tattoos may look great for a while on a young person, but as you get older they'll just look plain stupid.

  your credibility will fade as you and your tattoo age together.

  your skin will be permanently stuck in a timewarp, like some old newspaper headline that once meant something but later becomes meaningless.

  What was YOUR First Worldly Experience?

  by Yondaime in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  while i was in florida during the spring visiting my oldest sister.

  i had the time of my life with my brother in law.. you see my sister married a non-believer and my parents viewed him as the scum of the earth, so i was terrified to ever talk to him.

  turns out he's one of the coolest people i have ever met.

  I smoked weed shortly after becoming an atheist. Also flirted with a girl shortly after. Was a fun time.

  evil thought about jw.org

  so what happens if we start posting links on porn sites and the like?

  i don't usually suggest this sort of thing, but it would sure give somebody at hq pause for thought when he realizes where all their hits are originating.

  @code

  That was brilliant, lol.

  Who knows, even people who watch porn might want the truth :l It wouldn't actually be the worst idea, considering how much traffic big pornsites get.
