JW directives you thought were downright stupid
by fallen_princess ini remember one time when i was about 17 years old, i wanted to arrange a costume party for the young brothers in the congo around my age.
i suggested it to one of my friends and was told that the elders had advised against it because it could be construed as pagan and masks have their roots in demonism.
of course, i was never shown any biblical proof of this but just that response took the wind out of my sails and i decided to just not go through with it.

Sunday July 31 WatchTower article on disfellowshipping
by Malachi Elijah ini am confused about the tactic of the sunday wt article.
it seems to be talking about staying loyal to jehovah when chased by enemies and then it turns it around to saying stay loyal to jehovah by accepting elder decisions on who to disfellowship.
the odd thing about it, is that david was chased in two different ways, by his son who wanted to usurp his throne.

Oh the weirdness: Observations from a study
by howdidtihappen ini started studying jw with a work friend because she used to keep me at arms length and i knew it was because of her religion.
she and her family are such lovely people so i thought maybe there was something to it, how bad can it be, etc.
i was enticed by this girls friendship as she has been spending more time with me but continues to say "you're not one of us yet" which continually freaks me out.

What Is It That Really Troubles the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by orangefatcat inwell i think what worries them the most is that more and more witnesses are becoming free thinkers and that is troubling them, it worries them that thinking freely will cause them to seek answers elsewhere and that is the last thing the gb wants.
they have pulled the reins so tight now how much tighter can they pull before many witnesss crack under their yokes.
what is your thoughts on this matter.. .

My Apostate wife is out on service
by fade_away inas i write this, my wife who left the borg along with me is out on service with an old jw friend.
her friend is visiting town and she didn't know we stopped going to the meetings when she called my wife and asked her out on a door to door service.
my wife explained to her our current situation, but still decided to go out with her just this one time.

The Problem with the problem
by Terry injehovah's witnesses have an invisible problem which is as unseen as jesus.
the problem with their problem is that it is unseen.. what do i mean by this?.
no future.. the future jehovah's witnesses prepare for is not their future at all.. the jw future is armageddon (very soon!
