The antidote to the myth that JWs are declining
by slimboyfat in
1. watchtower
2. bible
one of the most persistent myths on this website is that jws are already in decline, the rot has set in, and the descent of the watchtower is inevitable from here on in.

unfortunately the facts do not bear this out.

jws are still increasing even in most developing countries, and they are still growing worldwide at a faster rate than the general population.

Should all elders be painted with the same brush?
by Socrateswannabe in
1. jw
2. friends
an hour or two ago, i was reading a topic on this forum that welcomed new elders to jwn.

there was some criticism aimed at the op and i understand that elders shouldn't be singled out as special.

one poster said he/she hates all elders.

Apostate?
by EmptyInside in
1. jw

i was wondering if i would be considered an apostate for posting on this board.

i don't speak against the organization to any witnesses.

i do talk candidly to other inactive ones who feel the same way.

Do you believe Jehovah enjoys watching people suffer and why would you want to worship him?
by booker-t in
1. jw
2. friends
i have to admit i never really thought about this question until one of my classmates challenged me with this very question.

she made an excellant point and i have to admit i am asking myself the same question does jehovah enjoy watching people suffer.

the case she brought up was the flood story.

"The END is soooooo close"
by Phizzy in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i notice reported in a number of posts that this seems to a bit of a mantra with the dubbies now, more so than ever in the past.. is this because they are getting desperate for the life they live as jw's to change ?

they don't really want to end their days with the constant drudgery of the jw life still going on, they want something different, but must "wait on jehovah".

sigh.. i wonder if this is a small opportunity for us to sow some small, niggling doubt, why not ask, when they spew out the "it is soooo close" nonsense:.

Skydiving/Parachuting. A disfellowship offense?
by stealthmode-brazil in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i'm an active witness from brazil (who would leave if it weren't for my family/friends inside) and always dreamed about practicing skydiving.

but as radical sports are a no-no for witnesses... i wonder if any elder or ex-elder on this forum knows if an active jw, practices skydiving/parachuting once and/or regularly, can he or she be disfellowship on that basis?

i'm considering secretly jumping but afraid if someone finds out.
