  skirts

  what a load of rubbish.

  what's with the rule that says that ladies have to wear a skirt/dress to all meetings/service etc.?

  jesus wore a dress, does that mean that the men have to as well?

  the "what if" thing comes to mind... no matter how much i strongly believe that they are not, what if armageddon happened tomorrow and they were correct?

  would you have any sorrow for being wrong???.

  i, personally would not.

  2. experiences

  i've been out of it for 9 years now and i still feel guilty.

  my mum majored in emotional blackmail which is why i pioneered when i left school instead of going to college like i was desperate to do.

  i couldn't bear to upset my mum.

  Do you believe in Armageddon ??? Watchtower sure scares them good !!!

  alot of discussion referring to the new book released learning from the great teacher, and the scene of armageddon page.

  what a pile of garbage, how could the society justify in publishing such pics.. if/when armageddon comes (which i doubt), it probaly would not take more than one minute.

  i cannot see people running around screaming in terror, with their clothes torn and beating each other up, like the watchtower portrays, just another scare tactic for the watchtower.

  How Do You Handle Death?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for most witnesses, the ressurection hope keeps survivors going.

  i knew of some jw's that were in such denial that they would want to believe that "they're just sleeping but are still alive to jehovah.

  " others would bust themselves "in the work", while others would "mourn as the nations do".

  Article needed: d/fing of those who hold personal views

  by Euphemism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recall seeing a statement in the watchtower that those who personally disagree with major wt doctrines, even if they are not promoting their personal viewpoints, are apostates and liable to disfellowshiping.

  i'm searching the wtlib, however, and i can't find it.

  does anyone remember where it is?

  Spirit of competition

  by Nic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i will get around to telling you my story as soon as i figure out where to post it!.

  i was a witness for 19 years (i left/df'd when i was 19) and was always told that i wasn't allowed to participate in after school sports because it was getting involved in competition which is frowned upon.

  so how come it's ok for the williams sisters to play professional tennis, have a career, earn loadsa money and wear totally immodest short skirts which show their knickers shock horror!!
