  i was raised in a witness family but never got baptized.

  i have been studying with an extended family member for a while after 20+ years of being away from the kingdom hall.

  i asked them about the paradise earth after armageddon and if we will become robots if we survive.

  So you think you were a True Witness?

  by FaithfulBrother in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  fuck you.. i was raised in a jw family in the 1980's-1990's where we had to do the daily text 7 days a week during breakfast at the family table at 7am sharp between 7:00-7:15am.

  this was followed by a "spiritual discussion," which was held every morning between 7:15am and 8:00am.. since we were homeschooled, our weekly field service was required from childhood on friday mornings immediately following the spiritual discussion, followed by saturday afternoon field service after the bookstudy, as well as sunday afternoon field service after the watchtower study.. i was also required to read each watchtower and awake magazine and give oral reports about each magazine i read in order for my father to be sure that i had actually read them.

  i can't remember for sure, but i think each watchtower and awake was released every two weeks back then, making a new magazine to read every single week, followed by an oral report on every single article (including the watchtower study articles which i also had to read, then study in our weekly family watchtower study where we marked our answers, then studied again at the sunday watchtower study).. in addition to this, we also had a weekly family bible study at night each week, had a family bookstudy at night in which we marked our answers for the saturday morning bookstudy, had a family watchtower study at night where we marked our answers for the sunday morning watchtower study, had a family prayer together every night before bed, every morning before and after breakfast and every night before and after dinner (not including our half-family prayers for lunch by my mother since we were homeschooled.).

  Why did Satan want to kill Jesus?

  by FaithfulBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  why would satan have wanted to kill jesus if jesus' death would defeat satan and save mankind?

  why would satan enter judas at the last supper and get judas to betray jesus, leading him to his death, if this death is what defeated satan?.

  New JW chain-email going around

  by FaithfulBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  apparently, the society knows exactly when the great tribulation is going to break out, but they're only letting the public know through subliminal messages in their images.

  here's a new chain letter that's being passed around between witnesses:.

  (daniel 2:34, 35, 44, 45).

  Is the Memorial actually a Satanic ritual?

  by FaithfulBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  john 6:53-58 states:.

  53 jesus said to them, very truly i tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

  54 whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and i will raise them up at the last day.

  Can anyone prove that birthday celebrations are forbidden by God?

  by FaithfulBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that there is no mention of any birthday celebrations in the bible besides the two which were celebrated by non-believers.

  and it just so happened that on each of these events, someone died (one non-believer and one believer).

  but does it mean that just because the bible mentions these two events, that all birthday celebrations are forbidden?
