Need awesome suggestions!
by the_raisin infor the last four days, every morning i take donut out for her walk, i always find jw's preaching door to door across the street.
i always cross to them, and wait with dread at what i think is inevitable: they will try to preach to me.. but it never happens.
four days, seen three diifferent groups, nothing.

Can We Please Stop Referring To The Simplified English Watchtower A The Dumbed Down Version
by Philadelphia Ponos ini really shouldn't have to say any of this but as someone who is in the process of learning a second language, i can tell that simple language makes things a lot clearer when you are not familiar with the language.
everyone on here started out reading simplified english while they were learning, including you native speakers.
i'm sure no one here was reading on a college level in elementary school.

Genesis 10 - How many can you count up who built the Tower of Babel from these names??
by hamsterbait ini am sitting looking at genesis 10.. this relates to the thread that the "tower of babel built by babies".. i reckon by counting the sons, and then counting at least one wife to carry the next generation of named sons we can arrive at a fairly accurate head count.. chapter 11 is also useful here as it gives the age of certain men when they had named sons.. for example seth was 100 when he fathered apaxad.
in the next 500 years he could not have fathered a total of 500 children, so we need a reasonable estimate.. some of the breed ing stock was 35 before producing a son (11:12).
bear in mind also that the shemite line had fertility issues so were not as profuse as other lines through ham or japheth.. i fail to get a total of much over 300 people and that is being generous.

It felt good to spend a day with a non JW gay! :)
by TimothyT infor those of you who are in the slightest bit interested, i thought i would give you an update into how my life is now panning out since i accepted my sexuality.. so, contrary to what the jws have counselled all these years, i found a guy on a dating website named jack, and started to get quite friendly with him through text messages and facebook!
it has now been 3 weeks.
yesterday... i met up with him!.

I'm Now A Member Of JwTalk.net.
by Philadelphia Ponos into my surprise my membership was approved for jwtalk.net, which is to my knowledge the only forum with "real" jws.
after reading through a few threads it appears that these jws believe in the watchtower 100% and i don't see any signs of doubt or borderline apostate comments like some other past pro-jw forums.
are any of you guys members of jwtalk.net and actively posting.

Jehovah's Witnesses Came To My Door Yesterday....
by Philadelphia Ponos in...but i didn't answer it for two reasons.
one, i wasn't fully clothed and two, i'm still debating whether or not i'll make my temporary return.
it would be weird if i accept or reject literature and two months later show up at the hall(which is right across the street) claiming to be baptized.
