I don't know anyone here well enough to like or dislike, how well can you know someone from a few lines or paragraphs on a forum. Besides, I try to keep "like" out of the equation when reading another's comments and posts because even people you don't "like" or agree with can raise interesting points or make astute observations that cause you to think. There is something to learn from everyone.

Sounds like an old Romanian peasant curse.
You are the sons and daughters of fatherless goats and you will be doomed to wander friendless and without family support for seven years. No person will look upon you as you will be dead to them. (Spits the ground)!!!

Russian award story in the St. Lucia Times. Almost 80 comments at the end! Pretty heated stuff.
by Sugar Shane insome of the pro-jws are comparing the award reception to that of shadrach, messach, and abendego.
therefore excusing it as perfectly acceptable in the eyes of god.
that just seems a bit of a stretch to me, given that the jws talk about political neutrality, ect.

The Rank Hypocrisy of JW Rank and File
by steve2 inwtf?
russian jw mr novik is shown in full view on jw org wearing the "parental glory" badge with its prominent cross pattee on his lapel - and not one word of caution is sounded.
similarly, jw forums are abuzz singing the praises of mr and mrs novik and their brood after they received the parental glory honor from no less than jw-oppressor, mr putin.. from the stinking gb heaven all the way down to the dusty rank and file, the hypocrisy is sky-high.

Do current JWs even give a crap about "pagan" symbols anymore?
Maybe they make an exception for anything "pagan" aslong as it has the word "Glory" in front of it. They hear the word "Glory" and their little JW eyes light up and their little JW pleasure centres activate and they're like "Glory, did someone say glory where where..."
They're probably responding to the word "medal" as well, it's right up there with "reward" and "privilege" - in their mind.

Why does this forum tolerate Cold steele and his mormonism beliefs ? Who`s next ?
by smiddy ini thought this forum was for people who were ex jw`s and pro jw`s and the like to debate ,discuss and reasonably talk about our differences ,and sometimes drift off into politics world events and whatever.. however over a period of time i have come across cold steel `s many posts which are nothing more than promoting his mormon religions point of view./beliefs what has that got to do with jehovahs witnesses and the concerns many have with the jw religion.?.
it seems to me he is using this forum to promote his religion and is getting away with it over a long period of time.. how long before other cult religions see this as a springboard for promoting their own religion such as .
sda`s ,christian scientists , christadelphians ,beroean bible students ,etc.etc.. where will it end if he is able to keep doing this ?.

Look on the bright side, at least now we all know what Cold Steel's bias is and this awareness should make us impervious to his evil plot to convert us all to mormonism.
I for one have my anti-cult protection kit and in it there's this crazy little tool called thinking.

Just be kind to yourself at the moment discovering the facts about cherished beliefs can be a bitter pill to swallow in the beginning but hang it there it gets better.
You don't need to go anywhere except to yourself by way of self-care and one day at a time

Do You Have Any Indoctrinated Guilt Left Over?

Like you, I find, inexplicable or out of proportion guilt is one of the pesky residue feelings that depending on how much of it I am experiencing has been a useful gauge of how far I 've come.
