  My Experience Growing up as a JW

  by MissSC in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have never really shared my experience growing up as a jw, but feel it is time to share.

  i am 26 years old and was raised as a jw from birth.

  i left the jw when i was 14 by actions and 21 by a written letter, because i was baptised at the age of 11. .

  Fashion in Heaven

  by peacefulpete in

  1. social
  2. humour

  why is it that fashions are assumed to have stayed the same in heaven for thousands of years?

  you'd think that after wearing the same boring robe for eternity you'd crave something different.

  yet no, angels and god are still wearing the same white onesie they had when they vacationed on earth with abraham.

  Reddit thread: ‘This Cult is Dying and it Brings Me Joy’

  by LongHairGal in

  this is an excellent thread to read that i saw yesterday and the poster hits the nail on the head and tells it so well.

  he is really knocking pimi witnesses and has a lot of well deserved criticisms about them.. he says he hopes at this point that they never wake up….

  i am inclined to feel the same.

  seems like i just pop in here every now and then to see what everyone is up to.

  just like the previous years, i check in during the holidays to let everyone know about the annual christmas card exchange.. blondie used to lead this several years ago and i was involved for about 3 to 4 years before it began to fall off.

  for those of you who participated back then, i still have your addresses and have just sent off this year's christmas cards to everyone.

  (because they told us so in a wt!.

  w71 6/1 p. 330 par.

  10 - "another reason why many feel there is no place for them in the service of god is due to the clergy-laity distinction that is fostered in the churches.

  WT in a Nutshell

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower tries to make the christian faith about what you are doing.

  but, the christian faith is about what jesus already did.

  any questions?.

  Scam Marketing !

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we are constantly being attacked by scam marketers who create a perceived need , not a real one, and hence create within us a want.

  if we fill our desire for that thing or things by buying in to it, we then end up with totally unnecessary expense.

  we have been scammed.. whether that be something to do with the latest fashions and trends, the latest 'phone, car or something similar.. the longest running, and most lucrative marketing scam in all human history has been religion.

  Alteration of Revelation 3:14 in the 4th century to support the emerging Trinity doctrine

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in an earlier thread another poster asserted that there is no evidence that revelation 3:14 played a part in the 4th controversy that led to the trinity doctrine.

  this was claimed as evidence that the description of jesus as “the beginning of the creation of god” in the verse was not understood to mean that jesus was god’s first creation.

  the scholarly greek–english lexicon of the new testament & other early christian literature 3e (2001) by bauer, arndt, gingrich, and danker, in its latest edition states that “first creation” is indeed the probable meaning of the greek phrase.
