i'm not a jw, nor have i ever been.

all of the sudden she wants to spend all this time with me.

of course, lots of what she was telling me about the "bible", didn't make sense.

i've been going back and forth with a jw friend for over a year now.

i tend to ask question that are not in the "splaining away the scriptures" book.

of course, i get a whole lot of copy and pasted wt nonsense that usually doesn't even pertain to my questions.

JW friend wants to tell me about Christ's return in 1914....Advice needed!

2. beliefs
my long time friend recently took the plunge (baptized) and is now trying to recruit me.

one of the first things she told me is how all the "other religions" should be carefully inspected, because they are all wrong, in a nut shell.

so, i asked the obvious: i'm not concerned with all the others, i'm here to talk about your's.

Need help: JW friend links every NT teaching to 144,000 only
by whyizit in
1. forum
2. announcements
you know what i mean: every time she reads a passage in the nt, she instantly applies it to the 144,000 chosen anointed ones.

even though there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to make that connection.

i have even asked how her gurus have made that connection biblically.

"hence, according to god's will for the creature , in a resurrection one is restored or recreated in either a human or a spirit body and yet retains his personal identity by the setting in motion again of the distinctive life-pattern of that individual.".

.

i would like to be able to find which wts book or magazine this quote was taken from.

Just received the latest Free Minds Journal...thinking of sending pg.11 out

i've had a few light and heavy conversations (always peaceful, always "asking" rather than telling), with my jw friend.

i just received the latest free minds journal and wondered about sending "anonymously" page 11 to her.

it gives all the flip-flops of what a generation is, according to the wts.. we have touched on a variety of subjects that she just knew the wt could explain, but alas they could not!
