Has WT Tried to Control its Past?
by leavingwt inon another thread, an active jw wrote the following:.
but the past of jehovah's witnesses is all out there exposed for everyone that wishes to see and recount it in detail.
like charles darwin, charles russell lived during the 19th century, too, and, like darwin, russell he had some zany views (like that pyramid of russell's, for example).

Chaperones...
by BlackTwisted inhow would you feel..when you are alone with someone, that they are your friend, nothing more than just a friend, opposite sex.
just doing nothing but watching "that 70's show", laughing your butts off.
and then the next day, you have a meeting, and the elders come at your neck about being alone with the opposite sex, who happens to be your friend since second grade!

Disassociate or no longer actively associate?
by Mickey mouse inis there a difference?
page 111 of the new elder's manual:.
making known a firm decision to be known no longer as one of jehovah's witnesses.. if the individual is agreeable, the committee should first try to speak with him and provide spiritual assistance.

*Grace* According to JW's. Your thoughts will be appreciated.
by Lily Pie inhi, i'm a bit of a lurker on this site occasionally, just to help me understand my jw relative.
i am so curious to ask this question, but i fear asking a practicing jw, because you know, they can be a tad evasive, and maybe defensive too.
lutherans say.

Is God so small?
by Doug Mason inif a grieving muslim prays to her god, does he refuse to listen?
does god refuse to provide comfort because she did not say yahweh?.
if a person who believes in god calls him/her "allah", does god turn his back like a petulant child?.

Anyone any profound experience?
by bez insince leaving the borg a couple month back i have as some of you know seemed to get lower and lower.
my friends have slowly but surely drifted and we (my hubby and i) are treated very much like 'apostates' now and have been tried to be shoved out by them trying to get us to da ourselves.
and now i feel quite lost and am really struggling.. at first i continued to pray to god, believing he was listening and i could draw comfort from the inner peace i seemed to feel???
