Did you ever know any JW's/Pioneers who frequented popular nightspots and got drunk?
by James_Slash init used to make me sick at these hypocrites.. they would be at the meeting the next day or out in field service, obviously still intoxicated from the night before but putting a show on before the congregation.
i knew a couple of girls who would be regulary doing this over a weekend yet they would be pioneers all week, answering up at the meetings yet would be heading into popular nightspots and coming home at 4am drunk.
their dad was an elder (surprise, surprise).. i remember telling an elder about this once.

Find refreshment in spiritual things - this weeks tower.
by Cook My Socks UK ini just thought that i would share an observation regarding par 3 of this weeks wt study.
the paragraph says in part " jehovah's witnesses find genuine refreshment through up building christian fellowship".. .
i am wondering if any readers / posters on this forum that still do or used to attend meetings have any thoughts on this.

talking to my Mom about the JW's - I need some help
by James_Slash infirstly, i left the jw's about 5 years ago.. my mom is still in.. i've spoken to her on a number of issues and even though she has doubts that the jw's are the 'true' religion, mainly due to the paedophile scandal and the generation changes, she said to me today that "if the jw's are not the true religion, then who is?
" she also stated that it was jesus' command in the bible to "preach the good news of the kingdom - only jw's do that".. what can i come back with?.

What's the biggest lie/rumor that has ever been told about YOU?
by VampireDCLXV inmost of us here know what a hypocritical, backstabbing bunch of gossips many of the jw's tend to be.
far too often, a jw wont tell you to your face what's eating them, but they'll sure tell others.
when i started waking up (the second time around) this made me very paranoid.

What book did you study which brought you into the org? Is it now defunct?
by James_Slash ini think we can all gather that given the major doctrinal changes over the past few decades, a lot of books are now defunct for one reason or another whether that be doctrinal changes or simply that they are now inaccurate in line with todays teachings.. so which book convinced you that it was the 'truth' and brought you into the organisation and is it now defunct?.
mine was the knowledge that leads to everlasting life published in 2000. i don't know for sure, but i can't imagine that this book is completely accurate given the changes recently regarding generation..
