  Want to quit Bible study

  by confusedstudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi i was just looking for some advice.

  i have been studying with the jw's for over a year now, and attended 2 memorials and the district/assembly conventions.

  at first, and up until very recently i truly believed what i was learning was the truth.

  perfectly understandable confusedstudent. maybe you should just explain that you no longer believe it and that it is not open for discussion. if they really are your friends, they will be your friends throughout. most of us know that jw friendships are entirely conditional but that is not always the case. just be honest and stick to your guns. who knows? perhaps you might even cause some to liberate themselves.

  just my 2 cents

  In general, what is the ethically correct response if a minor tells you someone is molesting him/her?

  by InterestedOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i was thinking about what the elders are trained to do versus what i personally would do if a minor confided in me that someone was molesting him/her.

  i'm not sure what the ethically correct first response should be.

  my first thought is to contact some kind of law enforcement that specializes in investigating situations like this with people experienced in getting to the truth of the matter.

  and egghead weighs in with his ridiculous comments ...

  where i live, it is the legal responsibility of every citizen and resident to report any such incident to the police. failure to do so is considered a crime. imho, anyone who has to check with a legal department first is just a buck-passer.

  i cant read djeggnog's posts. they are just completely ridiculous. death by text.

  for someone so righteous, why would he choose that name? i doubt the GB would approve of dj's ... as that leads to inappropriate dancing and illicit sex ... and eggnog .. a pagan holiday drink .. that leads to illicit dancing and sex ... for shame

  to this day, i still can't drink shasta cola or lemon-lime soda.

  when i was a kid, you would buy these books of "food tickets".

  the tickets were traded for terrible food.

  Can We Please Stop Referring To The Simplified English Watchtower A The Dumbed Down Version

  by Philadelphia Ponos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i really shouldn't have to say any of this but as someone who is in the process of learning a second language, i can tell that simple language makes things a lot clearer when you are not familiar with the language.

  everyone on here started out reading simplified english while they were learning, including you native speakers.

  i'm sure no one here was reading on a college level in elementary school.

  Here is a video of a tornado that hit in N.C. How can this guy stay so calm?

  by StoneWall in

  2. current

  ok i try and stay calm in the event of an emergency but there is just no way i can be as calm as the guy in this video when you see the tornado go right beside him.

  his truck is getting blasted with all kinds of debris.. i would have had to been on tranquilizers or drunk to even come anywhere close to being as calm sounding as he is.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugwjfoz-12c&feature=featured.
