  Potential Life and Death Issue for Faders?

  by M*A*S*H in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  please excuse if this topic is duplicated elsewhere.

  however i had not thought of the issue highlighted in the article from the point of those potentially fading before.. https://www.the-newshub.com/general/life-or-death-for-former-jehovahs-witnesses.

  so what happens when a medical emergency arises?in the event you face a medical emergency in which you are incapacitated, jw elders and family show up to produce legal documents that will allow them to take over your medical care including withholding blood to cause your death.

  Experiences, a rose by any other name.

  by M*A*S*H in

  2. beliefs

  every time a jw shares an 'experience' with me (in person or on jw.borg) it always strikes me that basically what they are describing are (alleged) miracles.

  in my mind, i seem to remember i was taught that miracles do not occur in today's world and ended with jesus?

  have i missed something here?.

  Super JW Cart

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i have a confession to make.

  a strange urge is building in my brain... each time i see a jw literature cart on the street it builds.

  it is becoming a stronger and stronger thought in my mind.

  The stars will fall from the sky... but maybe they are better where they are?

  by M*A*S*H in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as an atheist interested in debate i have often accused religious folk of suffering cognitive dissonance on many issues.

  i stupidly thought i might be immune to such dissonance.

  however now i find myself in a battle for my own mind with no obvious end in sight.. i remember being taught as a young jw that the following passage in mark "the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

  Skills Gap

  by M*A*S*H in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jws have now been discouraging higher education and critical thinking for a long time.

  we have all seen the 'dumbing down' of the wt literature.

  on a personal level i have seen many of the perceivably intelligent younger members of congregations leave.

  Education

  by M*A*S*H in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just looking on jw.org at an education related topic; http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/g201210/what-parents-can-do/.

  be reasonable with regard to how much education to pursue.. as mentioned earlier, education can help prepare your child for responsible adulthood.

  (genesis 2:24) but how much schooling does reaching that goal require?.

  Thinking of leaving? Do you have a good Reputation?

  by M*A*S*H in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've had an idea, a cruel and malicious idea.

  want to hear it?

  well, what i'm hoping is we can find someone who's thinking of leaving the jw's, has a relatively good standing in the congo and is a good actor.
