  Why I joined this forum...

  2. experiences

  <div>my very first visit to this website several years ago, was because i wanted to find out what the few surprises were going to be at the sydney 2003 convention.

  (i have family that are jehovahs witnesses but i am not) .

  it took a few months to sink in, but i gradually came to accept the real truth that these surprises are nothing of the sort.

  My dream about dying early.

  i had a dream in which i was in a large auditorium - it was crowed with many people... heck it was full.

  then god walks onto the stage below and thanks us all for coming.

  it was a light-heated meeting of sorts.. but also had the feeling of business-like efficiency.

  KKK, Nazi's, the JW's, and my bad.

  by UpAndAtom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my jw brother came around to see me, and i drew the comparison that jw "mentality" was similar to that of kkk and nazi members.

  although he didn't really let me explain why i thought that and stormed out.

  since i didn't get a chance to discuss the differences between healthy groups and un-healthy groups, i wanted to get your input.

  How would we recognise Christ's return? (serious question)

  by UpAndAtom in

  he couldn't come back as black, because then the whites wouldn't trust not identify with him.

  he couldn't come back as white, because the blacks wouldn't trust him.

  if he appeared in china or asia (the west wouldn't accept him) and visa versa.. has anyone considered the possablity that a meeting is currently taking place in heaven, and god, jesus and a few good spirits are sitting around trying to figure out the best way to positively influence us?

  How to Eders influence you?

  by UpAndAtom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i 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?
