Facing My Mortality And Becoming A Donor
by pale.emperor in

this thread is quite morbid so i apologize in advance.. a few days ago i was having a conversation with my girlfriend in which she mentioned in passing that she's signed up to donate her organs after her death.

i was quite surprised because she mentioned it like it was no big deal.

i asked her which organs.

American JWs - Marriage in Foreign Countries
by NeverKnew in
1. jw
2. friends
as a non-jw, i now know of at least 3 american jws who have left the country, married some random person in a third world country and who have returned to the us alone.

there may be a 4th one soon.. it could be pure coincidence, but just thought i’d throw it out there to see if there’s some bizarre jw logic to this .

i’m no longer close enough to the group to hear any details so... could be purely coincidence.

i'm sorry--i'm getting this very sensitive vibe that the org (mainly those at the top) don't have any respect--forget about love--for sisters of color.

i'm coming to this conclusion from a couple of videos on jw broadcasting about single sisters.. after watching this video: .

1914.... current significance?
by NeverKnew in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
it seems that when i ask witnesses questions about 1914, they really don't understand the relevance to their message today.

i am told that they preach about the coming kingdom and that they don't preach a message of 1914. if a person doesn't understand 1914 then i can clearly see how showing them the inaccuracies of the doctrine wouldn't matter.

can we compile a list of ties 1914 has to their current beliefs?.

Nobody at work knows what JWs believe
by Athanasius in
1. jw
2. experiences
recently susie, one of my co-workers mentioned that her husband's family were all jws.

the family converted after susie's husband left home, so he never joined the jws, nor does he intend to.

anyway another co-worker asked her: "what do the jws believe?".

Good news to Judgement message?
by punkofnice in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i noticed in the 'bunker video(tm)' from the latest a$$emb£y/con-vention whatever it's called, that the patronising bloke with the greasy hair, said that the great tribulation(tm) started after their message changed from good news to judgement (i think he did, anyway).. does the watchtower corporation really think that anyone listens to their propaganda?.

do they really think they are able to stand behind a trolley and give a message of judgement?.

how do they think the message will change?.

by AmyWatson916 in

2. beliefs
jw's want to begin a study through their new "what does the bible really teach?

" book.

should a non-jw study with them just to point out the contradictions and muddled thinking in the book?
