lf you were unlucky enough to be born into the JW sect the chances are high that you became a witness.The same applies to most things in life.lf you were lucky enough to be born into a very rich family the chance is that you to will be rich.lf you were born into a third world impoverished family chances are you will suffer your entire life.My point is there is always someone worse off than you.The mere fact that your reading this means you are probably better off than roughly a third of the worlds population.A person dies every 4 seconds of hunger or hunger related causes and yet there is plenty of food available for everyone.So really its just a matter of keeping a proper prospective on things.Theres a lot to be said about a PMA (positive mental attitude).

I can't take it anymore!
by BlackWolf inmy dad was recently made an elder about maybe 6 months ago, and now he is never around he's always at work or doing some kind of jw crap.
now he conducts the watchtower study and is even doing the special talk tommorow.
he's become an even more strict controlling jerk than he was before, and i'm never allowed to go out and do anything non jw related because he doesn't have the time.

Just because the JW'S are wrong doesnt mean theres no god.
by atomant inl;ve been giving this some serious consideration lately.l dont have all the answers no one does.we are all entitled to our opinions.l certainly dont believe in evolution as lve researched that subject extensively.lt's important to believe in something even if its for mental health.l believe everything happens for a reason.l also believe if we all live as close to the 10 commandments as possible this world would be a far better place to live and no one can argue with that.

Amazing Growth! Jehovah Is Blessing The Preaching Work!
by Divergent intoday's text:.
saturday, april 2. the little one will become a thousand.—isa.
60:22.. perhaps we live in an area where there are few witnesses or where we do not see a lot of immediate results in our preaching work.

There seems to be many jw's marrying outside of org recently.
by atomant inl was wondering if others have noticed this or is just my imagination?my sister whom has always been a fine example of a dub just got married to an outsider was a shock to everyone as no one knew she was dating an outsider.she seems happy.the elders are to shit scared of her to approach her about the matter.

Some interesting points have been raised.Unfortunately my sister does suffer from a duel personality and breaks out into a rage for no real obvious reason.Her new husband would not have been aware of this at the time they got married.So its a time bomb situation.Whether he can handle it when it happens l dont know.l have only met the man a few times and he seems ok.The feed back lm getting through my mother a non jw is that he can see how the religion has adversely affected my family and torn it apart.The shunning thing.All l can say is lm glad l never got baptized.lf l thought it was the truth l would have been baptized over 30 years ago but my heart and mind was telling me its not the truth dont do it. -

What is a generation? Matthew 1:17 is pretty clear to me
by pleaseresearch inso we have this ridiculous teaching of an overlapping generation, something the bible clearly does not teach.
if this has been mentioned before i apologize.
but it's interesting that at the start of matthew we go through the genealogy of jesus.

There are very serious flaws in this cult following from way back to its very inception.The lie is being kept alive by who else but the governing baboons.When l was told of the new light (over lapping generation)l laughed.But you've got to hand it to them,they certainly have creative imaginations or rather conniving ulterior motives to keep the lie alive.Whether or not the GB is considered blood guilty is not for me to say but l will say their a pack of con artists in wolves clothing.imho. -

relationships do work when there is only one believer.My father got the truth early into his marriage and mum stayed out.Nevertheless she was happy and busy with 7 kids she called brats. -

1. Do you still believe JWs have "the truth"?
2. Do you secretly look down on or feel sorry for the person because he or she is not a JW?
3. Are you dating this person out of rebellion or youthful indiscretion and will kick him/her to the curb once you "grow out of it"? These are excellent valid reasons to ask oneself outsiderlookingin to anyone considering marriage outside.

My elder father would turn in his grave if he knew about the situation with my sister.Shes now not going to as many meetings and l dont think she go's witnessing.She was a pioneer.Many have shunned her.
