  to my dear xxxxx hello there-how are things going with you?

  i've been thinking of you a lot, i've wanted to write you this for quite some time.

  i guess we both know that things aren't the way they used to be-between you and i; between you and jehovah's organization-and i just want you to know how much i miss you.

  The book "What the Bible really teaches"

  by TheListener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  i've got my copies and reviewed them, like many others here, but i didn't see any references to the faithfula and discreet slave.

  did i miss the reference or is it really not covered in the publication?.

  i've read it and im pretty sure there is at least one reference to the FDS... how could there not be? especially since it is a clear doctrine taught DIRECTLY from the bible

  Immersed in Negative Anticipation

  by 95stormfront in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it just me or is their a direct correllation between how deep someone is immersed in "da troof" and how much they are in anticipation of negative things happening to bolster the wt case of the end being so near?.

  i've just got off the phone with my wife, for the fourth or fifth time today, hardly been able to get any work done, and i fear she's turning into a news-hound.

  every conversation was about the latest developments of the hurricane in no, some volcano about to blow up and cause a tsunami capable of wiping out the eastern seaboard, and now it's the blackout in la and how it may be the work of al queda.. doesn anyone else with a jw so find it exhausting to listen to so much negativity?

  no. they love it. you watch the tsk tsk tsk the bad news they hear, meanwhile the brim with excitement. and jw's in general are the least sympathetic people you will ever meet. end-times prophecies are more important than the actual people who are getting hurt

  The power of Christ must have compelled me..

  2. scandals

  skally would have been proud... http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050911/1009995.asp - buffalo news front page piece "predators in our midst".

  some of my email to the writer of the article:if you ever do some follow up, the scandal in the catholic religion involving priests getting away with molesting children for years is well known; there has also been a similar scandal in the jehovah's witness religion.

  this one is in many persons' opinions more peculiarly interesting because according to jw rule the jw religion's judicial proceedings will not commence against a member for wrongdoing (such as sexual "sins", even predatory ones involving children) unless two persons testify to have witnessed the alleged event.

  Rev. 7:9

  by kwintestal in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after these things i saw, and, look!

  a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands .

  if the crowd is so great that no man is able to count how many there are, why is it that the jw's think that their 6 million or so members are this "great number" since they are able to count how many there are?

  because they don't have any possible way of counting all the dead ones that will be ressurected. (i assume that those ones will be counted as part of the great crowd if they did not have a jdub heavenly hope)

  MY STORY PART TWO

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  sorry this has taken some time to compile but here it isthe second instalment of my biography.

  as with the previous it is difficult with writing it not just because of the content but primarily because its difficult to try and retain the chronology correctly; i believe i have stayed true to how and when things happened but might have a few dates and times mixed up as this hasnt been at the forefront of my mind for some time.

  please accept my apologies if these inconsistencies are apparent at any point.. .
