  a truly shocking story in the telegraph.... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/9501478/taliban-behead-17-caught-dancing-to-music-at-party.html.

  it makes you realise how fortunate you are to live in a rational society.. .

  Would you go running back?

  by Nambo in

  if the tribulations started tomorrow, and all you knew of the bible was what the jws had told you, would you suddenly think, "they said this would happen, and it is, therefore they must be right", and go running back?.

  or would you think, "just because eventually biblical prophiesies came to pass that "they" had read you from the bible, doesnt mean they are the chosen religion, because they get all these other doctrines wrong", and know these doctrines well enough to be able to convince yourselves.. .

  replies such as "it wont happen cause its a fairy story" wont really help..

  last month i heard a talk from a c.o.

  he mentioned that the door to door service will come to an end.

  he said that jehovah will tell us to stop it, eventually.

  "Jehovah's organization provides the best education..."

  by Gothicus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  doesn't it just irritate you to the highest degree when someone makes a remark as stupid as this?

  since when did "jehovah's education" ever taught you anything significant other than to be a tool and a slave for the wtb$?.

  District Convention Points Saturday 21-07-2012 New Light? Governing Body Is Our Mother?

  by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

  i have been trying to wrap my head around the talk that introduced the slave as our mother?

  the brothers at bethel are worried that we are not treating our spiritual mother with respect.

  jehovah is our father, the faithful slave (the governing body) is our spiritual mammy.

  Do you have an invisible friend who talks to you?

  this would be considered a strong indicator of mental illness.

  but if it causes you or others no concern it can be quite harmless.. .

  How do I hear/feel God?

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a serious question.. i know people that hear/feel god (and see postings about people's experiences), but i have not experienced this.

  i have never heard anything audibly (or otherwise) nor "felt" anything inwardly.. i've prayed, read, quieted my thoughts, etc...but still nothing..
