  How to reason with someone who has all the answers?

  by smurfette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  alot if not all of you have beat your head against the wall of jw dogma spewing forth from a loved one.

  i'm hoping some of you may have come up with some good answers to some of it or maybe even something profound enough to get through and actually change a jw mind or two.. i'm specifically looking for points to bring up regarding da-ing and df-ing, and why it's wrong.

  i'm dealing with the extremly set in her ways, new world translation or nothing sort of jw, just waiting to brand me an apostate.

  Lost faith and a Cadillac car.

  by smurfette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was anyone you know's entire faith in all things jw shattered by one specific incident or teaching?

  or was anyone you know's faith squeezed from them by systematic taunting for not towing the line?.

  for me it was a whole combination of things, not one specific incident, and it was gradual.

  New Insight Into The Aposta-Ministry

  by smurfette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is there anything you have learned from this site about jehovah's witnesses that despite having been one you did not know before?

  for me it was the 1975 issue.

  i had been raised on tales of "brothers and sisters" led astray by their own wishful thinking that the world was going to end in 1975. my family joined in 1980 and bought this retoric lock stock and barrel.

  Local Slang-Fluff

  by smurfette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i noticed on little toe's jw chat thread talk of learning new slang words.

  it got me to thinking we should all share some local or personal sayings so we can all understand each other better.

  and who knows, with so many people here from all over the world, you could start an international catchphrase of the week!.

  the people the JW's thought were too much

  by smurfette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone here have any bizarre or hilarious stories about brothers or sisters you have encountered?

  i'm betting there's alot of good stories out there.. i'm from an isolated area on the canadian border where odd people tend to congregate.

  i guess neither country wants them.
