  I was reading the latest public Watchtower and

  it was talking about Armageddon. The article

  said that "soon God will destroy all of the wicked

  and all those opposing God." Anyone who is not

  a JW would not include themselves as God's targets

  because they would not consider themselves as being

  wicked or as opposing God. If the Watchtower printed

  what it really meant ( God will destroy anyone who is

  not a Jehovah's Witness ) then they would really be

  seen for what they really are which is a cult.

  I wish that the Witchtower would really print what

  they mean and quit sugarcoating thier message.

  At our hall the dubs will say how sad these disasters are and

  how many inocent people die. However they turn around and

  look forward to God killing everone on earth except the JW's.

  In looking at the terrible destruction in the pics from Japan

  what a mess they have to clean up and they will have the help

  of foreign nations. Imagine the whole earth looking like that

  after Armageddon and about 2 million men and 2 million women

  and 3 million kids having to clean the mess up.

  for a long while i have been coming to this site on a daily basis and i think it is time to introduce myself.

  here we go: my parents learned the truth when i was 4 and i don't have childhood memories of how life was before they converted.

  i was a model jw child, although quite mischievous at school.

  Is the April 2011 Auxillary Pioneer 30 hours official ???

  It was read Sunday at our Hall. The brothers and sisters were

  almost giddy with excitement. The brother reading the letter

  said that it was another blessing from Jehovah.

  When I pioneered many years ago, I had to log in 100 hours.

  Now in April you can pioneer for 30 hours and you can be

  a publisher with 15 minutes a month. Their aim is to make

  the goal of pioneering so low in hours that those who are logging

  in 15 to 20 hours will feel guilty if they are not pioneerig.

  When you fill out the pioneer application in April you have

  to put down if you are going to be a 30 hour pioneer or

  a 50 hour pioneer. What would happen if they did not have

  to turn in time? There would be a large work stopage.

  Birthdays: Anniversaries of baby showers?

  by alamb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, aren't they?

  my jw father is arguing with me about holidays and birthdays so i asked him what baby showers were and how they differed from birthdays?

  if mother's day and father's day are wrong, how is a baby's day (shower) not idolatry too?.

  You can celebrate the birth of a baby but not the anniversary of

  the birth of the baby.

  Only a JW would find that to be reasonable.

  The "wordly holidays" are special service days and

  those who are seeking to climb the JW food chain

  are expected to go out. The only change is they

  gather for the group 1/2 hour later in the morning

  to give the worldings another 1/2 hour to sleep in.

  Voting a conscience matter??

  by Cynisister in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  happy new year one and all!,.

  the local elders sent a letter home with my hubby, pretty much stating that after "many" attempts to visit and speak with me, this letter is once again asking to meet because it came to their attention that i voted in the last pres.

  election.

  The official stance is that it is strongly suggested that you do not vote.

  If an unbelieving husband forces his wife to go with him to the

  polling booth she is expected to cast a vote for God's Kingdom or

  do nothing and turn in a blank sheet of paper.

  The Witnesses are more critical of voting now than they were

  10 years ago. Voting is almost as taboo as taking blood. If you vote

  I don't think that they would officially disfellowship you for that

  because in today's political climate that would be bad PR if it

  became public knowledge.

  3 months ago one of my friends emailed me that

  he was invited to a JW "get together" to have some

  fun. They were supposed to dress up like what they

  wanted to be in Paradise, like a farmer, a dancer,

  carpenter, or a gardener, etc. Of course you had to bring

  a covered dish with 2 liters of pop. There would

  be games to play like checkers or monopoly and

  the highlight of the night of fun and games was

  to bring your new song books so they could practice

  singing the new songs. I don't think that my friend

  went so I do not know if everyone had a great time.

  What a nice way to spend a Saturday night.
