  I need some assistance!

  by Kool Jo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just found out that a co-worker of mine is a ex-jw....she's being pressured to go back to the khall...she says everytime she goes to visit her family, they're telling her how jehovah still loves her...blah blah blah...thankfully she has her own apartment!.

  i do see how her upbringing in the cult has affected her...she's soft and overly kind, but she's a real sweetheart...the down side: people take advantage of her.. should i tell her that i too am a jw and understands what she's going through with her family or should i just tell her that "spirituality is a personal thing and don't feel guilted into doing something you don't want" ect....the thing is, she talks alot and if i tell her that i'm suppose to be a jw, then the entire workplace will know.... what should i do?

  my only aim is to have her not feel guilted in going back...she said her family has been trying to get her back in, but she's resisting it...the other issue, her son stays with her jw sister (she didn't disclose why)...and my co-worker tells me that her son is becoming a "jw convert".. please i need some advice!.

  Need advice: Witnessing to a JW at my door

  by Faithful Witness in

  2. experiences

  i have been waiting for this moment, and it has finally come!

  i was actually in the middle of typing in the other thread, about householders who caused you doubts, when a jw rang my doorbell.

  my barking german shepherd didnt scare him away, but did knock all his books out of his hand and onto a wet porch, which i really felt bad about.

  1914 not Christ's Return anymore?

  by pacloc in

  2. beliefs

  looking at the public dec 2013 watchtower under bible questions answered it looks like they are saying that the invisible return of christ is completely in the future.

  i thought that they always said it started in 1914?

  am i reading this wrong?.

  Using the name Jehovah when praying

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know of number of jws who believe that if anyone doesn't address god as jehovah when praying that the prayer really goes to satan... especially if you pray to someone else (jesus, for example).. i haven't been able to find that specific teaching in wt literature.

  they do say that we are to pray only to jehovah, but i haven't been able to locate a publication that says the prayer really goes to satan if you don't.. is there such a reference?.

  Protest at district convention in Budapest, Hungary

  whatever your thoughts on the shouting, displaying a simple web address is an extremely effective and non-confrontational way of getting the message across - and in this case it looks like hundreds if not thousands of witnesses saw it.. .

  by Oubliette in

  1. jw

  jw's now believe in the rapture.

  notice this curious doctrinal change in the controversial july 15th, 2013 watchtower: .

  one of the events mentioned in these verses is the gathering of the chosen ones.

  The door bell rang today

  by ABibleStudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just before i started undressing to take a shower to go to an appointment, the door bell rang.

  i thought about not answering the door, but then thought what the hell it could be my neighbor, who is a widow and in her 70's, needing some help.. at the door was a frail man about 85+ years old dressed in a shabby sport coat, shirt, tie, and slacks, and a skinny woman about 75+ years old in a long dress that needed to be ironed.

  as i grabbed my dog to prevent him from jumping at the screen door, which was partially open, and beating the couple with his tail and making them fall, i thought what am i going to do.
