  What Did You Do As A Witness That Could Have Gotten You Into Trouble Had The Elders Ever Known About It?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  my elder buddy and i would frequent strip clubs when we wanted to.. a few friends knew i enjoyed clubbing and music concerts and i seldom ever spoke of my private social life to others.. i know many jws, including elders, that drank excessively but that wasn't considered too big a deal..

  How Will The Watchtower Handle Disclosure?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, the disclosure of ufo's as being real is just matter of time.

  it's not a matter of any mayan calendar or galactic alignment.

  it's simply the eventual outcome of increasing and increasingly bold ufo observations.

  Atheists..... throwing the baby out with the bath water ?

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this saying permeates this forum with higher frequency than most.

  despite being an open atheist amongst lots of religious people in my life, i have never been accused of doing this and i have never heard this saying attributed to my choice... appart from here.. i thought it would be best to clarify why i (and i assume others) decided to leave the bible behind after leaving the wt society.. realising the wt society was wrong desroyed my world, for me it meant so much.

  i had given so much to it too, it just had to be true!

  depressed and starting to loose it

  by raxxxx in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  sooo... it has been a few good months since i started having doubts and started researching.

  now very much convinced i had been lied to and my parents had not done their homework prior being baptised therefore it fucked up my future ... just a bit.

  now also had been going out with a jw girl for 1,5 years... and i am starting to loose it... stuck in a lie, delaying the getting engaged because of my attitude towards religion(she knows i had doubts and always have been anti watchtower - got baptized anyway... stupid me - but she doesn't make a big deal out of it... she is not very strong spiritually) ergo i know i am not fit to be head of the house by jw standards... but i just love her too damn much to break her heart by leaving the organization and ergo leaving her.

  Descended from animal? Explain language.

  by StopTheTears in

  2. friends

  if, as evolutionists claim, all of mankind evolved from the same primitive life-source, then how did we end up with 7,000 different languages?

  did one gorilla get angry at another gorilla and decide to start a new language?

  i'm intrigued to know.. .

  How can the WTS be short of money ?

  by the max in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so the society have a hedge fund, some(50%) shares in a usa company who specsialise in weapons delivery systems , has a shares portfolio that includes cigerettes.it buys up real estate in one of the worlds most lucerative locations ny,uses free labour to refurbish these properties along with its tax free status and then sells them on at a profit.it further extends it real estate portfolio by lending money at intrest ,for the building of more kh, again built with free labour and tax breaks, which are never owned by the cong,s who built them, but belong wts.

  i am not an economist,though i would be hard pressed to come up with a better economic model than this, also it purports to be politically nuetral, so hopes to operate globally without restrictions, infact the (workers) have to pay the society ,by way of mag sales and donations, in order to give their free labour, no trade union protection or minimum wage.

  g--gle, p--si,ya-oo, micro---t, would kill to have these advantages in the market place..

  The was a time I thought I had a good argument for people who had faith in God's non-existence

  by gubberningbody in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember asking people the question.... .

  "would you like to believe there's a creator who cares about you?".

  this question would avoid any fact-based discussion, and instead we could discuss the heart of the matter that plays the key to how people connect the disparate dots.. .

  Ex girlfriend a JW

  by witnessdater in

  2. friends

  i dated a jw for nearly three years.

  i had known her through business for a long time, and didn't really know that much about what jws believed, or anything really about the cult-like characteristics the organization has.

  we dated before i was divorced, while i was separated heading toward divorce for about a year.

  2. bible

  she asked me why god didn't step in to stop tragedies.

  for example, recently twin baby girls were attacked in their cots while their parents were down stairs.

  both suffered life changing injuries.. my daughter knows a couple who have waited years for a baby and eventually had i.v.f.
