  Remember this analogy, used to 'hook' new bible st

  "if i said i would give you $168 every week, the only condition being that you would give me back $1, would you do it?

  and yet, jehovah lovingly and freely gives us 168 hours of life each week.

  he is asking back only one hour in the form of a bible study.

  JWs Assigned to Fetch Lost Sheep Here?

  by HomebutHiding in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been pondering the whys of jws who regularly, and not-so regularly post to the board.

  the possibility then struck me that maybe they are assigned--have special dispensation--to associate here in order to retrieve any "misguided" or "lost" sheep and bring them back into their fold.

  or are they, thenselves, on the edge, wanting the freedom we now have?

  Are All Organized Religions Cults?

  by HomebutHiding in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even though it has been years since i last stepped into a kingdom hall, it is only recently that i have accepted the idea that the jws are a cult.

  the word cult has such a horrible connotation, i mentally reserved it for the most overtly offensive groups.

  then, last evening, i went to mass with my husband.

  The LOVE among JWs is an act.

  by HomebutHiding in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as can be learned from reading my posts, i have been really questioning belief systems lately.

  yesterday, while browsing at barnes & noble, i noticed several religious books, each espousing its cure for human weakness.

  i remembered how it was of utmost importance as a jw that others see the love we had, since we alone had the holy spirit, and christ's followers would be easily recognized by this love.

  JWs are most antagonistic

  by HomebutHiding in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have noticed in my brief time here that the disobedient (jws who associate with us here) are the nastiest, most antagonistic examples of what it is to not display christian love.

  i am sure most are ambivolent, confused, angry about the cult thing, without a full awareness yet.

  but i suggest, to all of us, that we will learn mroe from each other by maintaining respect for one another.

  Does God Hear JW Prayers?

  by HomebutHiding in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a jw i never doubted there was ahearer of my prayers.

  in fact, over the two plus decades that i was a jw, i know there were answers to specific petitions, and i felt strongly that my prayers to be a stronger, better person were heard and answered.

  now, i no longer have anyone to whom i can address prayers, and i feel i wouldn't get a hearing anyway.
