I'm turning myself in. Lurking elders, are you listening?
by Eve Deceived in
1. jw
2. experiences
i think it's fitting for my very first post to be a thread on jw.net turning myself in to any lurking elders out there on a witch-hunt to cleanse the congregation so that god's choosen ones can "remain in god's love.

" so i'm sorry to all you awesome, truthful apostates on this site, but this thread is really intended for any lurking nazis -- i mean, the taliban -- ugh, i mean elders of the world's most "loving" cult religion.. i am an apostate.

here, i'll save you the trouble:.

2010 got scared today! OLD AGE! Born in 1972 realized I may only live to 2050!
by Witness 007 in
1. jw
2. experiences
if i live to 80 in 2050 thats in only 40 years and if i'm lucky.....not long.

believing that a "god" will whisk me away to heaven would be very comforting....but i just can't do it.

ever think about dying of old age?.

My JW mother says the Watchtower hasn't sold any buildings in Brooklyn and that people who "left" the HQ still lives in the buildings
by MadameSweden in
1. jw
2. friends
hello!.

my jw mother just told me about all the fantastic buildings that the watchtower has bought and renovated in brooklyn.. i told her that they will make a lot of money when they sell such buildings.. she said that they haven't sold any of the buildings and that they bought them because they need them as homes for all the "brothers" that work at the head quarter.. i told her that i thought that the wathtower doesn't need that many people at the head quarter anymore.. she agreed to that and said that the people still live in the buildings, but they now have "wordly" employments and pay rent for living in the watchtower buildings in brooklyn.. does anyone here know if the things she told me are true?.

More Quotes in the WT from Supposedly Rank and File bros and sisters?
by youngapostate in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i've noticed that lately (maybe as of a year ago or so) there have been personal quotations in every single study article.

it seems a brother or sister always sends in the exact quotation that would fit perfectly into an article.

has anyone else noticed this?.
