Oh the weirdness: Observations from a study
by howdidtihappen ini started studying jw with a work friend because she used to keep me at arms length and i knew it was because of her religion.
she and her family are such lovely people so i thought maybe there was something to it, how bad can it be, etc.
i was enticed by this girls friendship as she has been spending more time with me but continues to say "you're not one of us yet" which continually freaks me out.

Sunday July 31 WatchTower article on disfellowshipping
by Malachi Elijah ini am confused about the tactic of the sunday wt article.
it seems to be talking about staying loyal to jehovah when chased by enemies and then it turns it around to saying stay loyal to jehovah by accepting elder decisions on who to disfellowship.
the odd thing about it, is that david was chased in two different ways, by his son who wanted to usurp his throne.

The Bible Character Who Said, "Wait on Jehovah"
by metatron inonce upon a time, the bible tells us, there was an authority figure in ancient israel.
he observed the corruption, the decay, the wrongdoing and the nepotism and he wagged his finger vigorously !.
instead of taking action, he warned, 'you just wait until jehovah takes care of you !

Sorry about this absolutley CRAZY insight to my mind.
by dm6 inhello everybody.. even thinking about typing this thread as i lay here in bed at 11.30 at night, is hard enough, but i found some sort of motivation to do it.. i dont expect a massive response really, i guess all i really want to do is empty my mind out and stop things whirring over and over.. i am worried for my brother (younger brother he is 23) he is in guernsey channel islands (uk) and is in and out of intensive care drugs etc an there are a thousand more strings attached.
(drugdealers after him, homeless, jobless, about to go to prsion long story).
its a worry for me as his older brother.

How long into the future do you feel it will take before the majority of mankind give up on "God" to solve their problems?
by StoneWall ini mean the above question out of sincerity and honesty and not trying to belittle anyones beliefs or lack there of.. my point is if armageddon don't happen or the rapture within the next 1000 years or so, how long will man keep holding out hope for a divine being, whether it be jesus, jehovah, allah or "fill in the blank" to come and solve all the problems?.
do you feel that there is a timetable of any sort?.
if god hasn't manifested himself/herself/itself in say 5000 years from now to all mankind, do you think the majority at that time will still be clinging to a belief in a higher power if nothing at all has changed as far as their "appearing,coming, calling us to them etc."?.
