  If The GB REALLY Wanted To Make Converts, What Would They Do?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i say, they would abandon the house to house activity and concentrate their $$$ on "advertise, advertise, advertise the king and his kingdom".

  and if they really truly believed their own words, they'd not worry about money and material things-----since we are living in the very last days of the "last days".

  but no; they'll never do that because hypocrites is all they are.

  I find myself just getting "tired" of waiting for the End of the world. U2?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  is the end of the world just a fantasy in religious people's mind?

  i am really beginning to believe we were all just made to believe in a fairy tale.

  i still love jehovah and jesus but my faith is just wasting away behind waiting for a change such as the rapture/armaggeddon/paradise earth.

  I am "totally" confused on what the "Apostolic Holiness Church" teaches.

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i work with a girl that just joined my department at work and i am totally confused by her beliefs.

  i thought that jw's were strict but the apostolic holiness church is running neck and neck with the jw's.

  this girl i'll call her "betty" says women wearing pants and makeup is a "sin" amounting to burning in hell.

  What If: The UN actually DOES "turn on" and destroy religion?

  by inkling in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so it stuck me the other day that modern jw prophecy is notnearly as bizarrely cocky as such past gems like the "house ofprinces" (1925?

  ) or even the 1975 fiasco.

  i would seem thatthey have learned the value of the vague.

  Hubby's been sent an invite to see the elders at the hall - my fault!

  by dobbie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i posted the other day about being called on when i'm d'ad and that the elder refused to leave when i asked as i am not the head of the house!

  so i wrote a letter saying what had happened and not to call again or i'd seek further action, i also got hubby (as head of the house lol) to sign it and sent a copy to the main branch as well.. we got a very polite reply this week saying that of course they'd 'respect' my wishes but wish to ascertain if hubby still wants to be a jw and have sent him an 'invitation' to join them one night next week!otherwise he can send in a d'a letter if he wishes!.

  so far he's done nothing about it though i have talked him out of going, but if he doesn't send the letter or turn up will they automatically take that as him d'aing himself?just wondering if any ex elders here know as i think i ought to warn him in advance.

  SEX

  by billie jean in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i don't mean to sound crude but ive always wondered what witnesses are allowed to do in their marriage (sex wise) only i always imagined that they wouldn't ever deviate from the 'missionary possition' and what about oral sex, is that allowed ?.

  i spoke to an 'on the fence' old friend of mine a while ago he'd recently married and he said that a sister in their congregation had told his wife that anything other than 'missionary' was totaly out, he was angry at this statement and told me he thought it was "a matter of conscience" .

  but i'm still curious !

  Do we all have Nephilim Blood?

  by cameo-d in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so they say that in the "beginning of the ages" there was a lot of in-breeding because the bloodlines were 'more pure'.. when the nephilim came down and mated with the females, even after the flood, does this mean the bloodlines would have been 'more pure' as far as 50-50 nephilim dna?

  or maybe even a stronger concentration of nephilim than human...maybe 80-20%?

  psalms 58:3 the wicked are estranged from the womb.
