NEWEST WT ON 666
by Mary inok, i just got the latest wt that has big flaming numbers 666 on the front.
i skimmed through it but naturally it's pretty vague on who they think makes up this beast that has this number.
personally, i've always felt that there will be an individual antichrist (like hiter) who tries taking over the world.

memory loss!!!!
by somebody indoes nayone happen to have reference to the article that the wts basically told it's adherents not to view fellow jws who obtained a "scriptural divorce" back in the years that the elders policed the marriage bed of jws?
what i mean is that jws back in the days of the say.... 60s and 70s... approx.
, who wanted to do what was right in the eyes of the society god sought divorces over certain sexual relations with their marriage partners if their partners wished to be stimulated in certain ways the society god did not apporove of back then between a married couple's private realationship.. .

JWs and marital intimacies. What is the current view???
by brojo inin the 70s the wt published that certain practices between marriage partners such as oral sex were wrong and could result in disfellowshipping.
we all remember the havoc it wreaked on marriages especially where a non jw mate was involved.
they later backed away from this position.

Did The Witnesses Ever Say Weird Things In The 70's Door To Door?
by shamus ini recall my parents saying that they would go around and say that "nuclear bombs" were, at one point, imminent, and what you would do if you died today?
i'm not sure if that's the exact wording, but just wondering if they really said weird things like that; like there were fighter jets in the sky with nuclear capabilities that nearly caused "armageddon".
true or false?

Twisted Life
by Mysterygirl ini just thought that i would share my life as a jw.
i was born into this cult in 1973. i was born as a hermaphodite (both sexes) this was of great shock to my parents, apparently the confided in one of the elders asking him what thay should do?
his respones was that i should be made male (the doctors at the time said i should be female) my parent took the avice of the elder and i was the made to be a male.. as i was growing up i beged my parents to allow me to be the person that god had wanted me to be but the elders kept reasuring me and my parent that god wanted me to be a male so that i could one day be a elder or s/overser.. in my teen years it became very apparent that my parents had made a mistake as i would act in a very female way.

my first post in this forum
by trumangirl inhello, just introducing myself.
i'm an inactive witness, been so for a few months now.
got put off mostly by 1914 being hammered more and more lately, the child molestation issue, the un-ngo thing and just feeling like i don't want to shoot my mouth off and get labelled apostate so best to fade out.
