Questions on Evolution and the Existence of God and...
by ILoveTTATT in
1. jw
2. friends
i know this is one huge rant, but i want to put my own questions and doubts in writing.. i am a fading jw who has become agnostic... i still believe in "god" and "jesus," but i simply cannot explain to people why i believe in them.

i just do.. about the existence of god: it is an infinite regress.

"all things were created by someone"... well... who created god?

What is your weirdest field service experience ?
by cookiemaster in
1. jw
2. experiences
mine just popped in my head and i just had to share it.

a few years ago i went with a special pioneer(and elder) at one of his studies who was a cow herder in the mountains.

obviously, even though we were going to the middle of nowhere, where no one lived, we just had to go all dressed up in nice suits and all.

...to my boyfriend, we're going to have one of those weddings ('gay' weddings to the straights).. although my jw family know i'm gay, and not going to meetings, only one of my sisters has sussed the situation.

but i think after 3 years it's about time i told them.

especially if sometime in the future i'll turn up with a (gay) wedding ring.

my mom sent me a email telling me that if i want to put any of that (non jw/non christian) religious stuff on my facebook then i should unfriend her.

i did take the email, remove id'ing aspects and ask my facebook friends to tell me what they thought of the request.

so....... captain obvious asks........where are the placement bibles then?.

we have the newly massaged, repainted, sister-proof nwt (with its errors .

but the larger question remains..... if this is an organization that is here to spread the good news from the holy scriptures, why is it that all the rolly carts and literature counters are chock full of bible teach books, but not one bible can be found?.
