Yet one more thread on the new "generation".... Oh, Joy!
by undercover ini know, i know... some of ya'll are gettin' sick of this "generation" thing... .
but for whatever reason, i had not seen this actual quote from the dc talk (that or had not paid much attention to it until now).
seeing it in print really brought home how desparate they are to try to hang on to 1914 in whatever way they can.

Were You A Happy JW or An Unhappy One?
by mentallyfree31 inwhen you were a witness, were you happy or miserable?.
i feel like i was pretty happy for over 20 of the 25 years.
only the last 5 years and especially the last 1-2 years did i really burn out and just wasn't that into it.

Would any of you DESTROY ones faith and life as a JW if they were your dying grandparents?
by EndofMysteries inthis is a serious question, trying to decide the right thing to do.........i do believe in god, i am sorting out what i believe and true from lie and such.
have question on how atheist and just ones belief in god would respond to this.. .

Did you ever feel let down by the Bethel tour?
by maninthemiddle inreading jeff's thread about dress made me think of my one and only trip to bethel.. i can't remember if i was babtised at the time, but i went with a bus load of jws.. like someone said in the last thread, printing presses and empty rooms.
i was very disapointed, however i don't think i had any pre-concieved notions of what it would be like.
what i was diapointed in was so much of the "tour" was walking hallways looking at exhibits behind glass.

Another point missed by oblivious JWs - this week's Book Study
by sir82 inthis week's lesson for the book study covers chapter 4, paragraphs 18-24 of the "come be my follower" book.. in paragraph 24 we find this snippet:.
"...many have stood firm in the face of ridicule, persecution, arrest, imprisonment, torture, and even death.
where do imperfect humans get such courage?

Not Sure What To Do....HELP!!!!!
by lostinnj83 inhello..i have been lurking for quite some time and am finally ready to make my first post!.
i was raised a witness and am still "active" in the congregation and am married to husband who is also and have been having some doubts for some time and voiced some of them to my husband a few months back and he immediatly called the elders who provided a sheparding call.
doubts were mainly on the harshness of the disfellowshipping and the blood issue.

Baptizing in the name of the holy spirit?
by make yourself inthis came across as really interesting to me seeing as how they change up the baptismal questions so many times.but thats a lie as a matter of fact the updated questions look like this: .
1.on the basis of the sacrifice of jesus christ, do you repent of your sins and dedicate yourself to jehovah to do his will?
2.do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of jehovah witnesses in line with god's spirit-directed organization?

JW PEDOPHILE SENTENCED TO 40 YEARS
by Mary inanother sick jw is finally brought to justice (no thanks to god's chosen ones) after raping and molesting children for four frigging decades.
as per the article below, obviously one of his victims told the elders that they had been molested and obviously the elders did nothing about it.
'sorry, but did you have another eye witness to brother cockerill raping you?
