  What video games were banned when you were a JW teen?

  by BlackTwisted in

  i'm not a jw, but i'm kind of studying to be one though.. now that's out of the way, i remember mortal kombat was banned within my home-my mom isn't too fond of blood in video games..but yet, she plays dinosaur crisis sometimes....but then again, that was when i was 9...lol now that i'm 15 and i wanted mortal kombat 9 (still) my mom stil lsaid no...but then again, she would let me play it online..i dont know why..its strange, but hey, whatever works for her and me i guess.. .

  um...lets see..any shooting games, or any games that has blood in it, she wont let me get.

  so i can still play fighting games, just not the ones with blood...eh, oh well.i'm surprised she even let me play "dead or alive" and "soul calibur"!

  Blondie, we need some kind of entertaining...

  BlackTwisted, yes, they woohoo (and not only in the bed) but you don't get to see anything....

  Sims2 is good, I love it, but there already is sims 3 out, with a few expansions, even better than sims 2

  Jehovah's Witnesses on Facebook

  i am surprised how many active jws there are on facebook.. has the society ever put anything in print discouraging facebook in particular?

  would someone on facebook be viewed as "weak spiritually"?.

  was facebook named in outlines of convention talks?

  it is a metter of conscience, I know many pioneers and elder's kids who use facebook.

  an advice is not a law. it's not like it's a sin to have an account on a social network....

  Discussion involving my Dad & other long timers - Mood is definately different

  by Doubting Bro in

  i've seen several posts relating to the mood among longtime jws here recently.

  i thought i would add to that collection and recount a discussion i recently had with my dad and a small group of folks about his age.

  quick background on the group:.

  Interesting story...

  but the situation is different from country to country and from congregation to congregation.

  where i live i got the feeling the elders behave a little like dictators in the congregation, they are very few and they try to restrict other young men from becoming elders, like they want to keep all the power in their hands... I don't know how the CO treats them, when he comes in the congregation they change a little, but the new attitude keeps them only for a week...

  that's why I'm saying it depends on the congregation and the geographical area.

  Call me paranoid, but its possible that this 30 hour initiative is a weeding out process....a cull if you will...

  we've discussed a few potential reasons why the wt is promoting april 2011 as a month of special activity.

  reasons include manipulating statistics, and trying to provide some kind of spark to increasingly apathetic and discouraged congregations.

  i'm sure there are others i'm missing too, feel free to include those.

  Tell me one verse in the Bible where it's written women should not read something, or have less access to information than men. If you can't do this,

  I do not repent, brother! No way!

  OMG! you made me laugh like crazy!!!

  Mad Sweeney, I agree in some part.

  But I think the goal of the governing body is the recruitment of new members, or that as many people as possible would hear the good news, to put it theocraticly, and the solidarity in the group is the bonus that comes with the preaching.

  Whats your opinion on why so many WT Branch offices are closing around the world ?

  by thetrueone in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  just caught that yet another branch office has closed in hawaii.. its getting to a point that there seems to be one closing almost one per month now.. is this the future of the wts.

  why is this all happening ?.

  the wts moving completely out of brooklyn is another big change for the organization.. maybe this is the eventual but gradual demise of the wts.

  They use technology to print publications, they don't need as many people as in old days, and also because it is cost effective to print more in one place.
