  Most JW's are Concerned with Position/Appearance - Not Serving God

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being raised in the jehovah's witnesses for 44 years ( exited 7 years ago ) - i observed many different variables that made each witness tick or operate.

  but one of the most common variables was witnesses wanting to excel in progressing to positions becoming elders, ministerial servants, or pioneers because then and only then would they be looked at as allegedly " spiritual " or closer to jehovah.

  but i learned as years went by that having a " position " in the congregation didn't make a person anymore " spiritual " or closer to god than witnesses who were not in appointed positions.. myself- having been appointed a ministerial servant at the tender baby age of 20 yrs.

  Does the Governing Body say only apostates will die at Armageddon?

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of them in ignorance practice things that god's word shows to be wicked.

  if they persist in this course, they will be among those who perish during the great tribulation.----------------------------------------------------------------------------"only jehovah's witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the supreme organizer, have any scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by satan the devil.

  WT Sept 15th KoolAid - the edition that just keeps giving

  there have already been several threads started about this particular issue.

  quite a bit of stuff to reflect on, especially the articles elevating the elders and gb.... but here's another gem..not as significant, but still interesting.

  i grew up as a jw and it was verboten to say "bless you" or "gesundheit" after someone sneezes.

  For JWs Who Now 'Smell The Coffee:' A Survival Mechanism

  by Room 215 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of us lucky enough to have shed our rose-colored glasses, but still want to maintain relationwhipes with family and friends still entangled in the borg's web, a pragmatic approach, akin to, but less radical than "fading": just slip out to the periphery, treat the kh as one would a church, i. e. show up once in a while, make the occasional comment (ideally without compromising your real convictions and, better yet, worded as to provoke a bit of thought without raising eyebrows); being politely but non-commital, and, after a few "so longs," go home after the closing prayer.

  Most people who are not JW's live with out moral restrain! All who have left the "Truth" regret it. June 15th WT

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in the june 15th wt it says on page 9 i will just write it out as it is to hard and unbelievable to preface this.

  so here it is.. "many who today are members of the christian congregation can tell you that before learning of and adopting jehovah's righteous standards, they lived without moral restrain.

  yet, they were unsatisfied and unhappy.

  Dubs - Paradoxes From Hell

  by Farkel in

  2. beliefs

  dubs - paradoxes from hell.

  jesus said his yoke was kindly and light.. dubs brag their religion is the "hardest religion in the world.".

  the bible tells children to honor their parents.. the wts tells children to betray their parents.. if dubs really live in a "spiritual paradise," why do their lives have to be threatened to stay in it?.
