  The Watchtower's Yearly Rejection of Jesus Christ

  by metatron in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's that time again - that special time of the year when 6 million jehovah's witnesses meet together to reject the.

  symbols of christian salvation.. never mind that jesus clearly said "he that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and i shall resurrect.

  him on the last day" (john 6:54) - in a plain reference to those who hoped in the general resurrection.. never mind that jesus is called the "one mediator between god and man" ( 1 tim.2:5).

  Considered Suicide ?

  by Guest 77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading about the two jw's committing suicide and larc's comments, how many of us have considered suicide?

  i saw a movie about a man trying every trick in the book to committ suicide and failed.

  it got to the point in the movie that you know his next new attempt would fail.. most likely some people prefer to die without committing suicide.

  Daughter counselled on dating a wordly guy

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my daughter recieved this email from one of her witness "friends".

  she is counseling my daughter (indirectly) about her choice to date a "worldly" guy.. hey, so, we had a talk recently that was about love & respect in your marriage.

  the brother brought out that this was more for us witnesses rather than worldly people, because it seems that even in the truth now marriage has lost it's correct place.

  Are You A Lover Of Pleasure Rather Than A Lover Of God?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a witness, you are constantly warned about being a lover of pleasure, rather than a lover of god.

  do you fit into one of these catagories, now?

  Can you eat blood now?

  by Brummie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have no trouble with transfusions to save peoples lives but recently we went to a wedding and one of my little lads had been up to the buffet and come back with a plate of food, on it was little circles of black pudding (blood sausage), he didnt know what it was (i have never brought it home so he hasnt seen it before) but just threw it on his plate anyway.

  while he wasnt looking i took it off and threw it away!

  couldnt bring myself to let him eat it and i still couldnt eat it because of the background in jws.

  Ever have a day...

  by joannadandy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my whole week has been very stressful...i am working on my resume and essay to get a placement for student teaching...because numbers of student teachers are so high, and numbers of teachers willing to accept us are so low, well pressure is on to impress.

  we've been lectured for the last two months that if you don't strike on the formula they want, your gone.

  if you have one grammatical error, you're gone.

  "You know it is, you know!"

  by Redneckgurl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i kept hearing these words from my mother today, she kept saying, "you know it is the truth" "you know the end is coming" "you know there is only one true religion, there is only one truth" "you know, you know, i know you do".

  aaaaahhhhhggggg!

  it makes me sick to hear her say that, i have always responded to those words with "yeah, i know", but this time i didn't.. a friend that i haven't spoken with in quite a while from the kh da'd herself the other night, i found out.

  shooters? Drinking before meetings? Anyone?

  by goofy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, up to the last i would make sure and have a few drinks before i went to the meeting.

  it helped me relax as i am very hypertense and up to the last was going crazy listenning as i truly believe the speakers were getting more boring than before.

  i never did but thought it would be cool to sneak a shooter in your purse and down it in the restroom mid-way, but i can't drink hard liquor straight, so that didn't happen.
