You're Anointed? Nooooooooo!
by Englishman ini hear stories that jw's really hate it when someone suddenly claims to be of the "anointed" class.
apparently, such new claims are strongly discouraged.. my jw mum says that the reason for this is that when someone claims to be anointed, it can only mean that they are replacing someone else.
in other words, an anointed person has "fallen away from the truth".

Please help if you can!!
by broken inthis is my first time so i hope i don't sound too pathetic.. my situation is this: i am not a jw, but i am in love with a girl who was raised a jw.
we've been together for 4+ years and i would like nothing more than to marry her.
she has been what i guess you'd call "inactive" for almost two years, but i don't think her convictions have weakened any.

Evolution vs Creation and spontaneous generation
by MrMoe inplease read it all, i know it's a bit long, but you need to read it all to see where i am coming from.
i beleive in creation in the sense that the big bang and spontaneous generation don't make logical sense to me.

Elders meeting tonight?????? Need advice???
by MrMoe inwell - my father (he's an elder) asked me if he could watch my daughter saturday night and i could pick her up sunday at the meeting or he would drop her off at my house.
well, they have offered to watch her overnight plenty of times, but he has never offered to drop her off at my house on a sunday!
the clincher - he said he would normally watch her tonight since it's a friday, but he has an elders meeting.
