  Privileges, are they really?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from the smallest to the biggest task in the organization, they will call it a privilege.

  cleaning the toilet, passing the microphone, saying a prayer in public and so on.

  did you consider each task they gave you to be a privilege?

  Do the Sadduccees deserve to be seen in a more favorable light?

  by True North in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does anyone remember the old joke about the sadduccees, that they didn't believe in the resurrection and that's why they were "sad-you-see"?

  i think that on the whole, the sadduccees get pretty bad press from both jews and christians and i've often thought that maybe they don't entirely deserve it.

  i know that they are said to have been "the establishment", collaborating with the romans and trying to keep a lid on the trouble being stirred up by the pharisees, the zealots, and the assorted messianic movements in order to preserve their own privileges and status.

  What JWs think when they visit "apostates"

  by Sirona in

  2. beliefs

  a friend of mine was recently disfellowshipped (lets call him john, false name but serves the purpose of this).

  he was a ministerial servant within the cong (heading for elder).

  anyway, he got back in touch after the "fall".

  Why Did You Leave "The Truth"?

  by Corvin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  lurkers come in and out of this forum.

  some lurkers suddenly have bouts of righteous indignation and become trolls that lash out at some of the subject matter posted here by x-jw's.

  they accuse many of "leaving jehovah" for fleshly desires.

  Creed

  by ignorance is strength in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why do you think that jws are so against putting all their beliefs down into a creed?

  is it because they realised it would change so often?.

  i always remembered in the das that they would criticise other christian denominations for having creeds, but if you asked them their faith in a nutshell, would they be able to tell you?

  New To The Board

  by exjdub in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just wanted to introduce myself and tell everyone that i have enjoyed many of the posts.

  i wish that this resource was available 7 years ago when i walked away from the organization, it would have helped my transition a great deal.

  i also wanted to say that it is enjoyable to come to a forum that is not on an angry rant about the organization on a constant basis.
