New date for Armegeddon???
by DawnLS620 ini must have missed this on my travels thru different x-dub sites, but i think i read something on here about their "new light" regarding the timing for armegeddon.
since its been over 30 years since 1975, how do they predict armegeddon now?
what do they tell new converts regarding the 1975 debacle?

disfellowshipping procedure
by Hangin_on ini don't understand the whole disfellowshipping procedure, i thought i did at one time but now i don't.
i was df'd for leaving my wife and taking someone else as my wife so i am in an adulterous marriage.
that is a prime example of an action that requires dfing.. however it has been 3 years, i have written 3 - 4 letters.

How did bible story pictures affect you?
by unique1 inedited because someone came through with the picture and i think this deserves it's own topic.. i am deathly, i mean deathly afraid of snakes.
most people don't understand or grasp the exent i am afraid of them until they see the ultimate reaction.
my husband witnessed the worst one since we have been together the other week.

A question for Elders or MS currently on the inside
by loosie ini sent some info about the lawsuit settlements to a friend who still goes to the meetings.
she said that years ago the abuse incidents were not reported to the authorities, but now they are reported to the authorities.. is that true?

Is it easier for a witness (vs Christian) to stop believing in God?
by Guest with Questions ini dont have any statistics but am curious if there could be any truth to it; that it might be easier for a witness to stop believing vs a christian.
i dont see this at any of the churches i have attended; people leaving in droves with some totally discarding any belief.. 1 the jw org is the only truth.
you question its authority, then you question god.

How did you feel when first posting on JWD?
by R.F. ini was in heavy doubt about the organization, but still in the back of my mind i was a bit hesitant of posting because it was the "unforgivable sin".
i think it took me 20 minutes to type my first post.
i still felt that once i submitted my post that a bolt of lightning was going to come down upon me, so my hands were shaking as i was typing.

Bethelites - humbler than thou!
by B_Deserter ini'm new here and don't know if this has been posted.
have you ever noticed that when a lot of young men return from bethel they have this air of superiority with them?
i've seen people almost literally worship the ground they walk on.
