  inform my jw parents of my official stance on "the path they tried to teach us when we were young girls.

  " <---(oft-used phrase to try to "guilt" us into coming back as jw's)

  it'll be a first and a definite shocker coming from the likes of me...i usually avoid all religious discussion/confrontation on the few occasions i've visited them.

  What is the best thing and worst thing about being a JW?

  by micheal in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would say the best thing is when one has just started studying and coming to meetings for the first time they are treated like gold.

  but things really start to detiroriate quickly from there.

  the worst thing is the control.

  Armageddon dream

  by tinkerbell82 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i used to have horrible nightmares from the time i was maybe five until i was maybe thirteen that armageddon has come and i'm on jehovah's bad list.

  i had them at least three times a week initially, but gradually as i grew older they were less frequent and then they finally stopped altogether...or so i thought.

  last night i had one for the first time in at least seven or eight years and it was just as terrifying as it was when i was five.

  by run dont walk in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am presumming that all of the governing body are of the "annoited class" and up there in age.. so what happens when they can no longer look after things, which should be soon, there are no other annoited really to take over.

  and 10 years from now all the supposed "annoited ones" will be gone.. whta will become of the governing body ??????.

  the watchtower must be a bit worried.. will there be "new light" and make up a new body ?????

  Class Distinction Within The JW Community?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone noticed that jws who appear to be higher up on the 'socio-economic' ladder get special treatment at the kh?

  no matter how many khs i've visited, i've noticed that jws who are not well off socially/financially/physically are treated with less respect/dignity than those with a business of their own, or just a higher quality of life.

  i've been to many 'gatherings' where jws filter themselves out according to race or socio-economic standing.

  IS IT PROPER TO RISE FOR A WOMAN ?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the 4-15-52 wt.

  says it is by satanic design to untheocratically elevate the woman above the man.tipping your hat to a woman could possibly lead to improper advances.it sets a woman apart because of her sex.it is subtly disguised creature worship!.

  more wisdom from the faithful slave.......
