  Where do I start...

  by KristiKay in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i stumbeled across this site after doing some research about earthquakes and "end times".

  i've had a jw comming to my home for quite a while just stopping by, and she finally convinced me to agree to a "bible study".

  i was intoxicated at the time i agreed and i figured it would be better to have a set time for her visits rather then her just showing up at random times.

  do you miss anything from when you were a jw?

  by Newborn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few of my friends who also used to be jw's, say they miss certain things abt it...i can honestly say that i don't miss a single thing (my sister obviously who's still in but nothing else).. before i could sometimes miss having such a strong belief but that's also gone.

  i guess i've moved on big time.

  You are engaged in a constructive work for the new world, which is now at the portals. This upbuilding work is the service to which the new world’s Creator has assigned us. You are pioneers of the New World! Always let ring in your ears the divine encouragement, “Fear not!” and, “Droop not your hands!” And oh! what constructive implements the heavenly Father has put into our hands, especially since the 1950 Theocratic assembly at New York! These implements were meant for work, for our use to the full. The field of action to which we go forth, and the future stretching ahead of us till Armageddon, are not the place and time for us to slack our hands, either through laziness or through fear. Know for certain: the time is short! Lift up your hands and put them to work with a will. Only if we fulfill the work for which God has gathered us will he grant us a share in the fulfillment of his precious promise: “At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, saith Jehovah.”—Zeph. 3:20,

  Were You Happy That Jack Barr Of The GB Died?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read that some are quite happy that another gb bites the dust.. i think of my "faithful" elderly jw mother who helped many many families come into the "truth".

  she's an intelligent woman.

  however, she's blinded by her beliefs (being in a cult).

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this afternoon i was just trolling the internet, and i went onto the official jw website just to look around.. well, some of the pictures / articles were quite amazing in their sheer ignorance of facts.. one of the most amazing ones for me, (it actually made me laugh out loud while shaking my head in disbelief) is titled: .

  have you ever wondered .

  .how should a christian view drunkenness?.

  What happens when you contact wbts HQ

  by Archimendes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hi all,.

  what sort of responses do people actually get when you write to brooklyn hq to query subjects like their quote mining and other dubious uses of sources.

  i am currently having a bit of a 'discussion' on a popular nz mb with 3 or 4 current jw who are having a hard time accepting that the quotes from their latest pamphlets on evolution, among others are taken out of context, its got to the point where the only answer they are willing to give is to take it up with borg central.. if i actually physically mailed them a letter with a large portion of attached documents, would i get an actual response, photocopies of articles, or filed under wicked slave?.
