Question for JWs still on the "inside":
by Hellrider in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
just a question: if you are still jws (for any reason, many just can`t leave because their entire families are wrapped around it, etc), but don`t believe in it, and lead a "double life", how do you cope with going door to door?

i just can`t imagine how it must feel like to go out there and try to tell people at the doors or in the streets things you know are just bs!

how do you deal with that?

all four of them had faces and wings,.

when the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.. blumrich summary: .

here is a description of the main body of the craft.

Is Dawkins the answer?
by Peppermint in

2. beliefs
i watched the second part of richard dawkins program yesterday evening -the root of all evil?- i really have enjoyed this program and have found dawkins to come across as genuine and humane.

the problem i have with the program is that i do not want to believe his point of view, but i am feeling more and more drawn towards it.

the point i notice most about his stance is that he feels religion and science just cannot sit side by side, you have to believe one or the other.

What do you believe now?
by NowImFree in

2. beliefs
i have been out of the jws officially for over 3 years now, since disassociating.

after researching the history of the organization and reading the bible (without) the watchtower, i am now a christian.

i am just curious what happens to most ex-jws as far as their beliefs go, after they leave the organization.

Do JWs take Genesis literally?
by undercover in
1. watchtower
2. bible
as i grew up as a jw it seemed that we accepted genesis was a literal account with the only question being how long a creative day was.

for the longest time, as best as i can recall, a creative day was considered a thousand years long, based on the ole "a thousand years is as a day to jehovah" rule.. somewhere though, it seems that there was some waffling on how long a creative day was.

especially since science was showing that the earth was millions of years old.. since i've faded i wonder, do jws today consider genesis as a literal account of how things were created, even if they can't explain the exact length of a creative day?.
