THE MOTIVES OF GOOD JWS WHO POST ON THIS SITE
by steve2 inwhile i think it's perfectly okay, i do wonder what motivates jws to post here and especially to also express views critical of ex-jws.
is it the freudian notion of "projection": the jw who denounces something in others that he or she is also guilty of?
hence, if a jw clearly denounces an apostate's faults, it must mean the jw is really against apostasy when it might be something he or she struggles with.

Looking forward to the resurrection of your 'loved ones'?
by Ring Wielder inthe witnesses cite this as one of the greatest attractions of their faith...who does not want to see the ressurection of their loved ones?
but wait a minute....surely the closest relationship...between 'loved ones' is man and wife?
and reading the wt literature, they are pretty careful not to mention that relationship in the resurrection discussion, because of course they cant answer the question as to whether husbands and wives will be reunited in the resurrection...because of that damn scripture which says about resurrected ones not marrying or being given in marriage.. so, they wrap it up in the broad terminology of bring able to be 'reunited with your loved ones' and hope nobody notices that they never refer to the marital relationship.

On the Ministry
by Ring Wielder inthere were 5 of them, one brother and 4 sisters, at least one of them a pioneer, engaging in the field service opposite where i was cleaning windows the other day.. .
it was comical but sad to see the lengths they were going to to avoid knocking at the doors of the houses.. .
there was a row of about 8 houses, all attached, so very little distance between each door.
