  Should I call the local elders

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses always say if you have questions, you should discuss them with the local elders.. most of you have seen over the past few days, the 5 or 6 questions which led me to leave the witnesses and take up my hedonistic lifestyle.. should i call the elders and give them a chance to answer my questions?

  i've asked my father some of them, but it always turns into an argument and upsets my mother too much for me to really pursue the discussion as far as i would like.. just to reiterate.. my questions are:.

  1. is there a logical explanation of god's justice system for the universe, which includes all sentient creatures and how they are judged?.

  ok, this will probably sound really stupid to most people but.... when i was little, i had a go of a toy called 'vertibird' in a shop near us.. it was brilliant!.

  this was the one toy i have always wanted.

  whenever i've been to toys-r-us with the kids i've always looked out for them but, alas, i've never found them.. until now !.

  Armageddon Question

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on one of the you know threads you know refuted the oft quipped line here that jehovah will destroy 99.9% of humans at armageddon.

  he said that in actuality the king of the north would be doing the destroying and that jehovah would be stopping it short before it annihilated all mankind.. this was news to me.. my understanding was.. 1. peace and security declared.

  2. false religion destroyed.

  dun.

  welcome to this site- after thinking about it for awhile and reading through all 7 pages i have come to the conclusion that actually it is a good thing that you have chosen to use some pretty large words on these threads-.

  while i in noway understood half of what you have written-- i am impressed- i started thinking-- where would a person like this fit into wt world esp if you are a male.

  Do you legally join the WatchTower Society ?

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there has been some discussion in the past on whether people became legal members of the watchtower society or not when they got baptised and whether this was made clear to them.

  the wt argues that you are or are not a legal member as it suits them.. here is a thought.... on their website's privacy statement at http://www.watchtower.org/contact/privacy.htm (linked from the 'request contact' form) they say:.

  will the watchtower society disclose the information it collects to outside parties?.

  "Problems"

  by DevilsAdvocate_DA in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "life is a series of problems".

  the problems we face will either defeat us or develop us -- depending on how we respond to them.

  unfortunately most of us fail to see how jehovah wants to use problems for good in our lives.

  one day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used a illustration those students will never forget.. as he stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers he said,"okay,.

  time for a quiz.

  " and he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouth mason jar and set it on the table in fornt of him.. he also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.
