Help me with prayer please
by TheListener infor those of you who still pray, regularly or not.
i would ask some advice.. as a dub when i would pray at meetings or for my family i had no problem finding many things to discuss with god.
you know the usual things like my family, kh, gb, meetings, personal study, the friends around the world being persecuted, new system, meeting attendance again, field service, etc.. now that i'm fading i will not pray about the majority of those things any longer.

Kingdom Halls?
by Rooster in.
when jesus was talking to the samaritan woman by the well did he imply that buildings (like the temple) would have to be built & dedicated to god for a person to be able to worship god?
can modern day kingdom halls really be considered a place of true worship?

Do You Keep Your Old JW Books?
by Clam inwhat have you done with your wts book collection?
have you sold them, burnt them, given them away or kept them as a memento?

JUST HOW GULLIBLE ARE YOU? DO YOU LIKE IT THAT WAY?
by Terry infool me once; shame on you.... fool me twice; shame on me.. we've all heard that one before.
it implies that being fooled is everybody's susceptibility until more facts are presented which enable more critical thinking.. critical thinking is something you aren't born with.
it takes lots of practice.. and anything humans want to learn requires many tries.

David2002 Please Reply on Point!
by AK - Jeff inon another thread david2002 said; regarding, 1975: i have asked brother who were in the truth prior to 1975 about whether or not they believed the end was coming.
the vast majority tell me "no.
" i even know one sister who told me that her mother thought it was coming, but the daughter advised her not to fall into that conclusion.

WHY did you exit god and the bible when you exited the dubs?
by gumby innot all that post here threw the bible and the bible god out the window when they exited the dubs, but many have.. for me personally, i never doubted god or the bibles authenticity untill years later when i began doing a re-search on the bible canon and how it was formed.
from there, i began looking at the sceptics view of the bible and it's god which then changed my views.. i guess my question is, why did you ( those who disbelieved god/bible upon exiting the dubs)... throw god and the bible out the window before you had re-searched it enough to make you believe contrary?
if all you really knew was that the wtbts was bunk, what made you feel the bible and it's god was bunk too?.

EACH ONE MUST WATCH HIMSELF
by Rooster ineach one must watch himself.
shortly after jesus resurrection and ascension to heaven he formed the christian congregation, on pentecost day of the year 33 c.e.
there the "faithful and discreet slave" class, with jesus apostles taking the lead, began to feed the individuals in gods newly formed household of faith with spiritual food.
