by Stephanus inin thread:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/21475/1.ashx.
we were informed that the tower had changed the earthquake "sign of the times" - "they're not increasing; they're just there - and that's proof enough" is apparently the new way of looking at things.

How to Eders influence you?
by UpAndAtom ini am not a jw (never have been)... and am curious by the "10 hrs" i see posted from time to time.. does an elder pull you aside and say, "i see you've only done 9 hours, so i will revoke your status of ____?
" do they actually have an scripture reason for insisting on logging hours?
they must have some kind of reason that makes sence, otherwise you could just turn around and say, "two hours is enough - it's the quality, not the quantity" or can't you talk like this to an elder?

Daily Scripture:Luke 11:9,10 When???
by Blueblades in9.accordingly i say to you,keep on asking,and it will be given you.keep on seeking ,and you will find;keep on knocking,and it will be opened to you.10.for everyone asking receives,and everyone seeking finds,and to everyone knocking it will be open.. in all sincerity i ask this question:how long does it take to have this promised declaration of the lord to become a reality?.
all my life i have been keeping on asking,and keeping on seeking,and keeping on knocking.so i have been doing the first part vs. 9. yes i have been doing my part.its been a lifetime.. when is the lord going to do his part vs.10.receive,find and open ?.
have you been doing the same and for how long without getting a response?.

Will you ever meet God or Jesus?
by freedom96 ini know this is bound to open up a lot of topics here, especially those who want to make clear their opinion that god does not exist.. that being said, this is for those who do believe in god.. .
do you believe in a heaven, and if so, when you get there, in your opinion, will you ever personally walk up to god or jesus and talk to them face to face?.
as i left the witnesses, i have gotten a better understanding of the bible, and my personal belief is that we do have a heavenly hope.

Anyone lost or nearly lost a loved one because of the WTS's blood rules?
by BLISSISIGNORANCE inthe reason i ask this question is because when i became a jw i had 3 little children who relied on me for everything, including making the right medical decisions for them.. it really terrifies me when i think back to that time because i was so committed (i should have been actually) that i use to send my kids to school with the 'no blood' card hanging around their necks...........omg.
i also filled in all their medical forms with 'no blood' in the 'special instructions' box.. well, since then, many bad things have happened to me and my family at the hands of the borg and individual dubs.
also, many other things have come to light (not their light) that has proven the wts wrong and dangerous.

i just can't believe that this "witness" wrote this to me!
i will quote her response to me........ i see you changed your profile from a few days.

Good Comebacks!
by UpAndAtom ini've got a great one line comeback that i would like to share... and was wondering if there are any other short but sweet ones to battle the rhetoric.. background:.
my dub brother mentions that my sponsoring of children in 3rd world countries doesn't really save their soul, as only spiritual food can truely save them.
to which i then reply,.
