  i was recently in the company of a jw.

  this is a long time devout jw and i served them a meal.

  i was surprised by their reaction, they simply sat down, grabbed a fork and began shoveling???

  Thanks for the replies. It seems like perhaps the information was in a yearbook. Basically that believing that the FDS was only the governing body would be apostasy. I’m still looking.

  I was deleting some old text messages and came to this one, that is the topic of this post. I am glad to say it is in the ether, and exists no more. I have remained silent on the matter with my sister completely. I do think I will send her some pictures of the kiddos this afternoon though. Thanks to everyone for making a place where I could vent my frustration.

  the following list was posted by generation2 in reddit.

  perhaps you can add to it.. 1- it's a translation issue.

  2- that's how things where then.

  hi guys.

  sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.

  just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.

  Sea breeze here is what the Bible says on the matter.

  2 Timothy 3:16-17 New International Version (NIV)

  16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
