  JW Closet Drinkers

  how many here have had jw friends that can only have a good time when they drink?

  i've known plenty - ones with obvious drinking problems.

  not necessarialy alcoholics, but ones that equate good times with drinking, and drinking alone.

  What was your first Religious Experience ?

  by Casper in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just wondered how others first learned about religion.

  i know "born ins" were taught from the start but the rest of us had to start somewhere.

  my very first memory of anything supposedly religious was at the age of six... my grandmother took me to a "tent revival".

  I would have to say the first time I ever had sex on my wedding night.

  I kept saying "Oh God...Oh...God..

  "What a wonderment".

  Now he is getting ready to do it again....6 billion people worth....and why?

  Because people won't buy his magizines and join his church. Hay! Have you seen some of these people going door to door? God if you want me to join your team, better send me some people that got most there teeth and at least a 3rd grade education....Opps...I forgot you really don't like people on the bright side.

  Hay, since he all powerful doesn't he have the power to change people's minds about him and his good people?

  Well, I guess not! That could take some time...and hay...it is so much easier to just kill them off..right!

  Hitler was a mad man because he killed off only 50 million people because they didn't beleive in him. Whats the difference between him and your "God of love?"....The people will be just as dead!

  DO THE MATH, GOD CAN SAVE ONLY ONE IN 1,000?

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what got me thinking, -------when i was seating at a district ass.

  and looking at the audiences of 10,000 people seating there, i thought if all these people here were to represent all the earths population, only ten people on the front row would be saved.. since the population of the planet is 6 billion "worldly people" and 6 million jws, that means those poor bastards in the world only have one in 1,000 chance to live!

  but i was "lucky" enough to be born into a jws family {and maybe 75%?

  I agree with you I have a different Idea about Karma too. I believe there is "NO have to go back" kind of thing to make things right...Since everything on the other side is love....we choose to come back, no one is making us.

  We come back to find out about the biggest mystery there is in the universe....and that is my friend "Who we are and what makes us tick"

  ok, so jw replies to my e-mail yesterday; the one in which i posted a topic about.. he said this.

  georgiahuff i'm glad you feel that way and like i said your opinions don't matter to me!!!

  first of all you are a very closed minded person and you probably never even been to the kingdom hall yourself or read the bible.

  Create your perfect world

  by Layla33 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know we have some very imaginative people, so let's pretend we are "god".

  we see how much of an economic crisis we are in, how politics is making people fight from all sides, so many religions and they are all fighting against each other, in fact, every difference can be a breaking point for division.

  create a world that is functional, realistic and economically sound.. it can be as short or long as you want, but i think it would be a good place to come up with some ideas and possibly create a reality that even in our own lives, can make a difference..
