  Most of you are just pitiful whiners. !!

  by avengers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  but not according to me.. for the number of jws still going strong the ones here is but a handful, so mabye most of you are just pitiful whiners who should accept a little personal responsibility for your lives and quit trying so hard to blame someone or something.

  northern girl.. .

  and is the following reasonable?you have the right to do anything you want on this board ... it would be 'nice' if the name didn't say 'forum for jehovah's witnesses' though.

  How Sad

  by Ariell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a distant cousin, 15 and in a wheel chair.

  she's always saying how she can't wait until the new system comes when finally she'll be set free from her handicap and can run around with joyful glee.

  it breaks my heart knowing this is never gonna happen and makes me even more angrier.

  Logic Lures Them in, Emotions Keep them In

  by jgnat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wtbts was able to get a foothold years ago because they offered a radical departure from traditional christianity.

  they offered up an alternative view of god and the afterlife, some prophetic math, and a good kick in the pants to mainline churches.

  the catholic (universal) church deserved that kick, caught asleep on the job.

  could anyone tell me what the policy is when a dfed person wants reinstatement?

  are they questioned about their behavior while dfed or does that have any relevance since they were outside wts policy during that time?.

  What would the elders do if I returned to the hall

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm inactive since many years.

  the last time i went in the field service was in 1996 or 1997. i'm inactive on and off since 1991. didn't go in the field service since 1997. attended maybe 40 meetings in the last 6 years.

  what would happen if i decided to go back to the hall for good, and i would tell the elders i don't want you to visit me, or question me on the last 10 years or so.

  I NEED SOME HELP FOR A FRIEND.......

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm really concerned about a close friend of mine.

  she and her husband stopped going to the meeting about 10 years ago (that's not why i'm concerned) but remained pretty low-keyed up until about the last year.

  we've obviously talked at great length about the religion and how it screwed us royally and have even had some laughs over it (i've shown her some of my posting here and she's roared with laughter).. a few years ago, she got a tatoo because she always wanted one and of course couldn't while she was a dub.

  Surname Change: your opinions please

  by RAYZORBLADE in

  1. social
  2. family

  hey folks.. i have been debating for some time about changing my surname.. as it stands, it's in its typical patriarchial form (my father's surname) and honestly, i'd like to change it to my mother's surname.. i would not deny that my father was my father, but i cannot say that he, or his family have been ever there for me.

  my memories of them, for the most part are awful.. my mother is no angel, nor is she perfect, but i do have some connection to that side, and my grandmother (maternal) is my number 1 support person in the family.

  when i think back at family that were there for me during rough times, it was relatives on my mom's side.
