I need some input...

hi everyone, something has been on my mind lately and i would really appreciate some comments.

i've posted a few topic discussions on my story as a dub, recent dicoveries of wt tampering with the bible translations they use and the subsequent emotions that came from learning that so many things i was taught growing up are lies, and about visiting various churches (chuck swindoll etc).

here's what has been on mind the last few days.

i am officially retiring my other two personas (mister biggs and mister 8iggs).

quick history: i chose biggs because i am a huge fan of ronald isley (and his brothers).

i initially added 8iggs because i went over my quota for posts one day.

this is probably going to be the most difficult thing i have ever written.

but, since i dont plan on being around [here] much longer, what the hell?

for some time now, we have discussed and expressed our outrage and horror at child molestation.

Bible Prophecies?
by mindfield in

2. bible
no, i'm not getting any doubts that the bible is any more than what i believe it is... a myth.

however, i do have a particular question about one aspect that my jw uncle raised during one of our conversations: what about those so-called "prophecies"?

no, i'm not talking about the vague nostradamus-like "statue made of different kinds of crap".

please bear with me through this, this could likely become lengthy.

i feel it's time for me to give you my story as a dub.

i was born and raised in an extremely "hardcore", strict witness home.

A complex question who of you knows the answer?
by MARTINLEYSHON in

if baptism washes away your sins, as taught by jws, what prevents a disfellowshiped person who has moved to a new area and is not known in that area in attending meetings as an interested person and getting baptised within 6 months.. has anyone ever done that?

if so can the person be disfellowshipped a second time?

what would be his status.

Are Born Agains qualified to help JW's?

.

are born agains qualified to help jw's?.

i don't think so.sorry if you are one i have nothing against you personnally, nor jw's come to think of it, but offering your version of truth to jw's is for them to jump out of the frying pan into the fire.. the bible is the root of jw problems , and following that book in which ever way you wish will always be in error..

NEW LIGHT!!!!!!!!!
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
we heard new light this evening.

a local needs talk was given about how anyone that knows someone might be dating a non- witness and doesn't report it to the elders is actually hindering the free flow of jehovah's holy spirit.

yes, if the "sin" goes unreported, the whole congregation will be affected, just as in the case of achan and his family!
