  the latest instalment is coming to convince everybody that there is only one channel - one god approved religion!.

  so folks, what arguments do you think the wts will use to "prove" that there is a true religion from god's standpoint?.

  lukewarm.

  As an active JW, did you find the Memorial to be special?

  by Robert7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even as active jws, my wife and i always found the memorial to be anti-climatic, overhyped.

  it was supposed to be the most important event of the year, but it just felt like another meeting.

  i just never felt compelled to have to go.

  As of tomorrow I will no longer be a JW

  after my last post where i asked for advice on how to handle whether i should tell an elder that we've been going to church, i decided to tell a local elder who's related to me through marriage.

  this was to save my dad having to 'report' me (i'd told my dad we go to church).

  anyway, i had an interesting chat with him and he said some very personally revealing things re.

  The tipping point

  by JeffT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from wikipedia: "the term tipping point describes a point at which a slow gradual change becomes irreversible and then proceeds with gathering pace.

  it is derived from the metaphor of a rigid solid object being tilted to a point where it begins to topple.".

  has the watchtower reached such a point?

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  not that i really owe an explanation for anything to anybody.

  or if anybody is that concerned .

  i understand and respect that simon had to do what he had to do - for reasons he explained.

  What Do You Like Least About The JW Religion?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, i think it's that they are 100% intolerant.

  even if they are espousing an erroneous view and it is pointed out to them why they are incorrect, you would be "running ahead" if you still did not support the error until they state that a change in viewpoint has been made!

  How long did you stay active after having major doubts?

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, i had doubts from the beginning.

  however, my 1st major doubt came as i had it confirmed that other people felt like i did about certain big issues within the org.

  there were many, i realised, that just knew things were not right.
