You may be a jw if.....

by just Ron in

you may be a jw ........if you spent last saturday traped in a car with at least 4 other people you may be a jw.. if you have sat through a sheparding call where you were told you are unworthy you may be a jw.. if you have alienated your worldly relatives with your preaching you may be a jw.. if you have ticked some one of buy knocking on their door on one of their religous holidays you may be a jw.. if you think the governing body is goods direct channel you may be a jw.. if you have no clue when this system is going to end you may be a jw.. .

you need someone to tell you - in great detail - how to wipe your backside....and you are always wondering if you are doing it right.

hey guys,.

hoping to get your input.. i had a conversation with my dh recently and i asked him what would need to happen for him to question his belief system.

he said that something unscripted needs to be taught by the society.. now there are many things i can bring up...i have heard you suggest not to argue with doctrine...but he is asking for it.

angel.face

Thanks so much.

Undercover - you may be right...but maybe I can force something to happen to make him think?

DOC - I love talking about how the borg is 'directed' by Holy Spirit ... he never has a defence for that.

Sab - awesome, thank you for the info

MS - I will try, that's a great suggestion

LWT - I know I know :) My husband thinks I am a follower of Hassans. Actually the 'what would need to happen for you to question your belief system? ' question is straight out of one of his talks on youtube.

Cagefighter - This may be the case, but at least I tried...u know?

MM - I will check these out

Sab - I agree

And once again, thank you!!

Sorry made spelling mistake in first post...it's not 'unscripted' but un-scriptual

Now there are many things I can bring up...I have heard you suggest not to argue with doctrine...but he is asking for it. I am stuck and don't know what to do. Should we try to get to 1914 in our family worship? should we try to figure out 1919?

What do you think?

Whos is King of North?

by sparki in

i think it's iran.. they're straight up crazy wackos whos main goal is to create caliphate, world under one islamic law.

they actually believe they can accomplish this by causing great tribulation themselves with nuclear attack.. according to their belief, when theres great tribulation in the world, allah will come down and destroy non-muslims and will bring paradise.

so if they blow up nuke, it will speed up the process.

Thanks Blondie! Very interesting. It looks to me that the society is changing their understanding about the king of the north. LOL @ onthewayout

James woods: I don't see how one can explain the king of the north after that new understanding, or new confusion. I am still waiting for that article they said is coming to explain that.

friends

you can call me by my sceen name or just blue if you want lol.

i'm female (i don't know how to change my profile?

) and in my 20s.. i wondered, are any of you still jws who either lurk here or post and are on the fence about leaving?.

angel.face

Hi Blue!! Welcome!

I am also in my 20s and am active in the hall. I am not on the fence about leaving, I know I will leave but I only woke up 3 months ago and al trying to come up with a strategy.

As others have suggested I think u should read CoC and Steven Hasssans books. It sounds like you have already started to fade....Do you want to DA yourself or would you be okay with fading and eventually losing contact with the witnesses?

Another thing I would like to ask...you don't have to answer but just think about it... What are your dreams?? If you don't know, do some soul searching...figure out what you want out of life and run with it. Fulfill yourself and live for yourself because life is too short.

First off Welcome!

Wait a minute, according to the 'new light' that the GB released during the 2011 DC there is no king of the north. The new understanding goes against the prophecy of the king of the north.....so put this 'old truth' to rest and dont ask questions ... even if the 'new truth' makes no sense!! LOL

Shocked at what my 3 year old just asked me

by jwfacts in

me - jehovah?

who is jehovah?.

me - oh.. zac - are you happy with me dad for remembering jehovah.

Well, he's 3.5 that means that he will be starting preschool next year. At preschool he will be exposed to many different cultures and see kids doing things differently, eating different foods etc. So it's a great time to start talking about religion. You can talk about the different things people believe and the gods that they worship. You can even show him pictures of different gods and goddesses.

I think talking to your MIL could go both ways. She may respect your request or she may feel that you are persecuting her and witness to your child in secret....that would not be good.

I think it's also important to help your son have a free thinking spirit. Read stories that encourage free thought. The Emperors new clothes is awesome....maybe too early for your little guy though. Try to find age appropriate stories.

This episode of the thinking atheist talks about raising free thinking children:
