  The END is NIGH??

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i watched a fascinating documentary tonight called "the corporation".

  it exposed the development of big business in modern day and their greed and corruption of the world.

  many of the scholars and experts conceded that by the year 2025, we truly would not have any water left to drink and they discussed the ruination of the rainforests and other important resources as well.

  Divorce rate of JW's less than the rest of the "world"??

  by Samdownunder in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  throughout my teen years when my doubt was high and my hesitancy to commit was even higher, my father always told me that no life in the world could ever compare to life in the "truth".

  he said the peace and joy jw's experience in their lives is better than anything i could find out there in "satans world".

  he also constantly threw out the statistic( as he is a bullshit artist) that witness marriages have less than a 5% divorce rate, as compared to 50% outside the "truth".

  What is your passion in life?

  by Samdownunder in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking about how so many were so caught up in the dubs for so many years, and at the time we probably would have all felt that the truth and spreading the good news was our passion.

  so what is your passion now?

  what makes you tick and excites your senses and captivates you?

  Do you struggle to find truth in anything religious these days?

  by Samdownunder in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was just interested to see how you feel out there.

  ive been thinking a lot about all the lies and wasted time and frustration ive went through for so long now, and i cant help but wonder if anything i ever believed in is real.

  obviously the watchtower has lied and conned us all for years now, but who else along the way has changed the bible and who were the men who compiled it, and their motives?

  I need HELP!!!!!!!!!

  by Samdownunder in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can anyone relate and help with the nagging doubts that it really was the"truth" and we are all doing the wrong thing and being misled.

  i have read a lot of information to sway me from the witnesses and to think it is only a man made religion, but still i fear i could be wrong and going against god.

  how do you all deal with this feeling that surely most have experienced.

  hi i was just wondering, is it really different being in the witness religion as a full- fledged member than when you are studying with them.

  are you treated differently or is all this "control" people talk about over exaggerated?
