THE REVELATION, ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND"
by maputo95 indo you have the revelation, its grand climax at hand" book"?
it is a fascinating book backed up throughout with scriptures will open your eyes but you must read it from beginning to end.. the above is a quote from my jw friend, inactive for 30 years and thinking of sheepishly returning.
is the book cited above a scholarly and dependable commentary on revelation?.

Think ive changed...can see it quite a bit laterly.PLEASE!!
by angel eyes inputting this out there.....going back 12months ago i was completely different to how i am now.
i am still loyal to jah and dont go against the scriptures, but even though ive recently returned to pioneering (only aux pio at present) i see im a little more laid back.. i think this has come through having to endure hell and back without any help, except jehovah, which im not complaining, im so glad his been there for me, for us both.
but i really believe that due to things that have badly and wrongly been allowed to take place etc its moulded me a little different to how i was.

Do you wear a poppy?
by dozy ini always wished that i could wear a poppy on the run-up to rememberance sunday ( for details on this british commonwealth custom see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/poppy_day ) and often used to buy a poppy but binned it before anyone saw me wearing one.
as i understand it , it is a dfing offence ,though i cant see anything explicity in the wts literature.
anybody who is faded but not dfd worn one and what feedback did you get?.

Adjusting to illness & old age
by dozy inthe point is sometimes made in these forums that the societies constant insistence that the end is nigh has meant that so many jws fail to make adequate financial provisions for their retirement.. however , ive noticed an increasing trend amongst jws in middle age to elderly ones that they also havent made adequate emotional provisions , as they have been constantly told that they would never get old in this system.
most non-jws , aware that sooner or later they will experience a deterioration in their health, are mentally better prepared to cope with this.
with many jws it seems to throw them completely.. a good friend , aged around 50 , has just been diagnosed with a fairly serious illness.

Do JW's enjoy being mean to other JW's?
by highdose ini always got the impression that they got a kick out of exluding and looking down their nose at "lesser" jw's.
anyone got any theories?.

jw and exjw women - do you/did you believe it and abide by it?
jw and exjw men - do you still believe it?
