Re: Funchback,
This was you and I way back when,
They think that they're making "their own" choices but are they?
Their brain (cerebral cortex) hasn't developed yet!
My son (as encouraged) was reading "Bible Stories" to my granddaughter while in the womb,
:(
the wt teaches that "fatherless boys" need special care and attention in the congregation.
however, as brought out at the rc their definition of "fatherless boys" includes boys that have actual fathers who maybe very well qualified to teach and raise their sons.
according to wt, if either of your parents aren't jws then you are a "fatherless boy.
If I were a "worldly" father I would not appreciate someone trying to replace/compensate for me in any way,
If this is encouraged by Watch Tower it is disturbing,

many years ago i met an older man in the ministry who told me he was a baptized jw years ago, when i met him he was an alchoholic and had girlfriends, i told the elders, two came by and they told me to treat him as a regular worldly guy, my question is (i know this is a fuzzy area) about how much time needs to go by before someone (me for instance) would be looked upon as a non jw worldly person?.
:0).
Thanks,
I have family that's in (they all live at a distance), they tend to be by the book so I'm just trying not to give them an "official" reason to shun me if possible,

NOW for a limited time -Comes with a one months supply of SERVICE CANDY!! (which you will be guilted into depositing into a Contribution Box™) 💼💰🔚🔜💰💼
ok your bible study wants to get baptised.
make sure he is aware of what's involved.
here is a checklist.
Attn pale.emperor, Maybe direct Quora jdub boosters to Wikipedia "Growth of Religion" article, dubs aren't even mentioned, they might retort however that the reason is that Wikipedia is "of Satan" :)
Enjoyed your YouTube spot btw,
Cheers,
surely someone who eagerly looks forward to the death of billions of people (including babies and children) is not emotionally healthy?.
yet, that is the key belief "happily" anticipated by witnesses.... food for thought?.
This is a principal reason that I left,
And no, I don't think that they are mentally healthy,
Like the Nazis they lack empathy,
Before you conclude that I am being too harsh,
In Canada in the 1960s groups of JWs would mount covert operations to sneak sick newborns out of hospitals to "rescue" them from blood transfusions,
Does this sound mentally balanced to you?
The PERCEIVED Will of God trumps human life,
Here's a question for you:
If JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES were convinced that it was Jehovah's Will, that they today were to go out and slaughter their neighbor men women and children like Israel supposedly did under Joshua, would they do it?
I know what I think,
:0)
i am asking this questions due to the teachings, beliefs and practices of different religions..
There's some truth in everything,
Even a broken clock is right twice a day,
:)
hi everyone,.
just wanted to reintroduce myself.
i was minnow on jwr and when it got shut down i took the opportunity to go quiet as things were starting to get uncomfortable as far as trying to maintain 100% anonymity.. now i'm back and hoping to reconnect with my old friends, like helen travers, tony brock and others.. hope you are all well..
Hi LittleGuy and Welcome!
I was on JWR a few years ago but did not post due to my situation then,
I was sorry to hear it died as your stories helped a lot through that difficult time,
As dubstepped said we're happy to be added as "new" friends,
All the best and again,
Welcome
Tepid,
