  My Story

  by Kep in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mother and grandmother are dubs, so it was a part of my life from the start.

  both my dad and grandfather weren't, so it was what they call a divided household.. that sucked coz, after the meeting we were hurried off home to please the unbelieving mate.. so i never got to have real friends at the meetings and never had any activities outside of school.. as i got older i began to fit in with the school mates but felt restrained as we always had meetings to go to.. to cut a long story short, i got baptised when i was 18, had trouble keeping on top of meetings and witnessing etc.... i went weak, then inactive, found myself a girlfriend, non-witness, talked her thru the issues and problems i was going thru and so she decided to study.. we got married, she was baptised and things were going good.. as they were always pushing at assemblies to pioneer we felt we had to do that.. so as our circumstances allowed, she began pioneering.. you know, i look back and can say there was so much pressure put on couples who didn't have a family to seek first the kingdom.. as i had a checkered past according to some in the congo, it was a battle to attain privilidges.

  but i worked at it, i would auxillary pioneer each year and use my vacation time to do it, brown nose the co each time he visited, and bend over backwards to do anything the elders wanted done.. and as time passed i became a ministerial servant.. then in order for me to become an elder i had to really work my ass off.. so i did, i sorted things out so i could also become a regular pioneer.. after 18 months of doing that plus continually working hard for the org i was appointed elder.. my family was stoked.. i had a sister whose husband had also been appointed elder, my other sister was a regular pioneer and my brother was living with me and doing as much as he could.

  Multiple Personalities

  by butalbee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not really sure if i have the right to spectulate about this or if i'm just being paranoid.

  but why does it seem that some of the posts lately are being made by--false prophets??

  it seems to be an odd similiarity to some of the posters and it's just been "urking" me lately.

  Was Solomon apostate ?

  by Rummy1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it occurred to me that solomon wrote at least 2 books of the bible and part of proverbs.according to jws (and bible) he later became "bad" and lost jehovah's favour.as far as we know the situation remained that way ; i.e.

  he didn't repent and return to jah like other bible writers ( david etc ) .

  so why were his writings allowed as part of the bible ?
