i am not a jehovah's witness but i am very interested, i have many questions and hope they can be answered here.. i do believe in god, privately.

i do say my prayers daily and do believe god helps me in countless ways.

but i don't go to any church.. i have always been impressed at how smart, polite and nice jehovah's witnesses are and i always make time to speak to them when they call at my door.

Welcome Lily.....it's so encouraging to see people doing research on such important matters. Great references listed above by some of the posters.

i note that they're making reference to this in the upcoming convention programme.

someone has has dropped a bollock here, have they not?.

i mean, if i were a jw, i'd be sitting thinking of all the promises made and broken.

Are they highlighting it? Do you have any references/links?

That is unbelievable

ALL JW's to be at the meeting this week...

by Newly Enlightened in

.

we asked this person if it could be aqbout the terminology change and they said that was already read last week...... we remember the last time they did this.

got everyone all excited thinking the big "a" was coming and all it was about, was the literature would now be donated instead of charging for it.. .

Has anyone found comfort/encouragement from "worldly songs"?

i remember reading a thread when my exit was starting, about inspirational songs.

someone posted a link to the "shins" for a fool.

this was a surprising help to me.

JWs no longer taking the Governing Body seriously.

the recent letter being us to come to detroit shows that jws are beginning not to take the gb seriously anymore.

the buzz following the meeting was that the letter was unprecedented in its tone.

this coming from long time jws of 30 years plus.

The vast majority of witnesses are completely living in 'chosen ignorance'......they are terrified to break social circles.

I'll never get over how people continue to choose stupidity.

"We have NO idea how many in our congregation were baptized last year."

by NeverKnew in

was i lied to?.

are the members of a congregation even mildly aware of how many people who belong to their very own congregation were recently baptized?

Typical publisher of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Most couldn't tell you who the elders are or the difference between a regular and auxiliary pioneer

I loved Magnum's post above. True words.

The average Jehovah's Witness can't tell you basic theology about the organization. They are so lost and about as deep as a thimble.

For those of us that were kids in the 70's and 80's .....this organization looks vastly different today
