  xjw_b12,

  To answer your question, it is because of my own family's experiences with this issue. Just trying to understand the other side of the issues.

  Are there any young folks who are sincere JWs?

  by Spudinator in

  2. beliefs

  i'm closer to middle-age so that is why the question is posed; so those that are younger or really know some younger jws very well can give an older codger some insight.. i hear a lot of grumbling among those of my generation that the new kids just don't seem to get it.

  ("it" being the "truth.

  ") is this really the case for the vast majority?

  It is so nice to see the friendly apostate greetings that some JW's evoke around here.

  I hear a lot of grumbling among those of my generation that the new kids just don't seem to get it. ("It" being the "Truth.") Is this really the case for the vast majority? If not, what kind of percentage do you feel really are sincere? I realize it is impossible for any of us to truly judge another's heart, but your best estimate and related thoughts on this would be appreciated.

  this dub--a good friend of mind, actually--is trying to convince me to go to the elders because i serve alcohol to underage adults (19- and 20-year-olds).

  *sigh* if only he knew...

  I am "practicing" hard right now to be a non-practicing J-Dub. Does that mean I am now welcomed into the Apostate Brotherhood?

  How Extreme Will Witnesses Become?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think this is a question worth considering - just how extreme will witnesses become?.

  first, the hierarchy: there are numerous accounts stretching back for years of gb members skipping meetings,.

  ignoring field service and treating "vital" doctrine in a cavalier fashion.

  All this at best only proves is that there is a lunatic fringe within a fairly marginal group. Is there any evidence that any of the GB "heavies," DO's and/or CO's share any of the extreme views discussed in this thread?
