disillusioned 2a minute agoMy husband believes that anyone leaving does so because they can't live up to it not because they have stopped believing! He knows of course that I don't believe it but he can't come to terms with that.
Most of the ones I know who stay with it do so not because they really believe it.....
they do so because they think they SHOULD believe it.
they just posted the simplified august study watchtower on jw.org.. paragraph 11 of the "expectation!
" article says this:.
"so even if we feel that we have been waiting a long time, this does not mean that the end is far away or that it is not coming in our lifetime.".

I don't know of any gossip regarding why we faded but at one point there was a rumor being spread around about us after a sister asked us to raise her young daughter if anything were ever happen to her.
We have two sons of our own and the rumor being spread was that my wife was pining for a daughter of her own but that I had a non reversible vasectomy and this sister asked us to raise her daughter because she felt so sorry form my wife. (P.S. I never had a vasectomy and we only planned to have 2 kids and were perfectly happy having boys) It was strange to think that people were walking around with this kind of personal misinformation about me.
we have all noticed this and commented in other threads.... but isn't it interesting that in times past, witnesses earned a reputation of being so determined to share "the kingdom message" that they would put their foot in the door at a house to keep the conversation going!.
now, the apathy and lack of effort in service; particularly with the literature carts shows the complete opposite!
yet...the end is supposed to be even closer right?
I am aware that there is a group of purists who would say that it's not jealousy over today's JW having it easier, but it's the power of conviction that JW's should have if they want to spread their word. And that conviction would make them be like the "foot-in-the-door" Witnesses.
I think most here couldn't care less about how they go about the work now....it's more a matter of pointing out the irony they see. I'm glad they aren't sticking their foot in the door or are being required to do as much but it does irk me that they once held scriptural reasonings over our heads as biblical proof that we should be working harder and doing more as the end drew near....not less.

i made a thread on reddit regarding questions jw's can't answer.
was wondering what you guys can add to it..
1. Why is it that Christians can accept the idea that God had no creator and has always existed but they insist that the that the earth had to be created by someone?
If no one created God and if he has been here forever, then the rules of logic demand that the same can be said for the universe. The universe could have always existed and it evolved as scientists would have us believe, based on facts and plausible scientific theory.
2. The account of Jesus death in the Bible is a very sad one but everyone seemed so shocked that it happened even though the purpose of him coming here was to die and buy back life for mankind. If the people of earth at that time accepted him as he and the apostles had hoped, would he have just grown old and died even though he was perfect like Adam?
i love science and technology and we are living in a golden age right now.
the world has changed in so many incredible ways just in the time i've been alive.. my first car was a vauxhall viva.
it was brilliant because it was my first car and represented freedom.
With all the texting and driving that's going on these days, there are already lots of "self driving" cars.
its inevitable that at some point in time, people will look back and see that the exjw community was right about the watchtower organization and the bible..
i have some friends who are catholic, protestant, and some who dont associate with any religion but believe jesus will come in their lifetime.
we are such a small minority compared to christians that we are viewed as ignorant when it comes to religious matters.
just trying to do laundry when the boyfriend makes me take a pic of me with a wt.
:p .

Any thought provoking articles ?

How many years will pass before the world recognizes we were right?
