  My husband is a disabled veteran and has 2 bachelor's degrees. There was one day, when 2 JW's were at our house, MOCKING people who were proud to have served in the military. They knew of my husband's experience in the Gulf War, and they knew he continued to suffer from that service. He was pretty offended, that these people who claimed to be his "friends" were acting this way toward him... especially since one of them was an Army veteran himself (who is still in the process of applying for his own disability benefits from the VA).

  Hypocrites.

  What If the Soul Sleeping Doctrine is False?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when god breathed life into adam, adam became a living soul.

  moments before he had been only a concept...an idea; a lump of clay if youre a literalist.

  now he was a complex living and breathing being.

  If a JW does remain awake after death, he is not going to be in heaven. They have denied Christ and his message.

  If they DID for some reason come awake after their physical death, they would probably start looking for their book bag.

  They would need to check their literature, and see what they believe about what they are experiencing.

  The kindness of (worldly) strangers

  by moley in

  yesterday i went surfing, when i had finished and got changed i tried to start my car, no joy.

  there were about 12 cars in the car park and the occupants of 8 of the cars all tried to help out at some point as they could see i was having difficulties, one guy even drove to a garage 5 miles away to get me a coffee i didn't even ask for as it was a freezing cold day and a couple of them let me sit in their cars to warm up while i waited for the rac.

  contrast this to a time when i was in and my car wouldn't start (different car lol) in a kh car park and all i got was snarky comments, or advice in passing but no one stopped to help out.. i know who i prefer, has anyone else been helped by the evil worldly's while ignored by the loving jw's.

  When we were bible students, the JW's were extremely helpful to us. We moved on a Saturday, went to the meeting at the local KH Sunday. Immediately after the meeting, we had 7 strangers come to our house and unload our entire moving truck in an hour.

  I had surgery, and 3 JW women came over and cleaned my house while I was in the hospital.

  We were in a seriuos auto accident, and my husband's neck was fractured. He was visited by the JW's, but it quickly became evident that the elders were more concerned that he might accept blood, than how he was doing physically.

  The JW's always treated us like a shiny prize. We had a darling 2 year old daughter, and infant son. What a joy it was to see us at the meetings! Haha.

  Of course, that all changed when we started asking questions about the Watchtower and its history.

  Since I've known only several JW's and had many more REAL friends in my life, I'm not a good judge.

  What are the feelings/thoughts within 24-48 hours of exposure to an undeniably true (for you) TATT?

  by NeverKnew in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  many of us know where we were during 9/11 or when john kennedy and martin luther king were killed.. it seems that when faced with ttatt, real truth is dismissed as "ol' light" or "an imperfect group of men" but from what i gather, many of you, at some point, were hit with a component of ttatt that shattered all of those cliches that allowed you to brush off the obvious reality that something was very wrong.

  some of you may remember the hours following your earliest exposures to an undeniably true tatt.

  did you zone completely out?

  How does anxiety affect your heart rate?

  by Splash in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  -- w54 4/15 p. 233 scriptural aspect of psychosomatic medicine --.

  "doctors have found also that anxiety slows down the heart beat as much as 27 beats a minute.

  the bible shows that men become faint out of fear and the heart may stop.luke 21:26 (men become faint out of fear)".

  In other words, if you're reading a Watchtower magazine and you feel your heart start pounding, you are feeling the calming effects of the message.

  homeless people need iPhones. I can't afford one myself, but I see people using iPhones, while using their food stamp debit card.

  Obama actually does give out free phones. I've met people who have them. Of course, they also have their iPhones, for when the Obama phone runs out of airtime.

  Until recently, you could get cash out of ATMs at strip clubs and liquor stores, at least in Michigan.
