Healing the lame - with Science.
by fulltimestudent inmatthew 15:30. great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.. whether the above story has any foundation of truth cannot be demonstrated.
and while certain people claim to have had their mobility restored in our times, the fact remains that its a very hit and miss affair.
this is a good time to be alive.

"I'm feeling down, I'm not faring well; I need help, please help me."
by Tempest in a Teacup intoday i remembered one of my disillusionment episodes, when i was going from rejection to rejection, and i was discovering the wide gap between spewing beautiful words and actually translating them into actions.. a few years ago, in my darkest hours of depression, it occurred to me to send the following sms to one of my closest friends in the congregation.
i truly believed in her friendship and thought i could count on her.
it was one of the very rare moments in which i was ready to put myself completely out there and pour my heart out to someone.

The reality is JWs are incapable of helping themselves let alone another.
They are not the happy, loving, caring organization they claim to be, and their teachings produce cold, callous, robots. It is painful and shocking when their true nature is revealed to you but it is far better to know what you can and can't expect from these people.
Take care and be kind to yourself tempest, your reaction to this is normal and reasonable.
It's them that have the cold hearts.
If you need to see a professional do so.

by kairos ini've been df'd for about six weeks now.no one has broken the obligation to "honor the disfellowshipping decree".that's the way notorious co paul kohler describes the "loving arrangement" that is jw shunning.
( just "serving" napa ).

What Written & Unwritten Rules Do Jehovah's Witnesses Have?
by minimus injws should "not go beyond what is written".. please list examples of how they do not follow that bible instruction..

Emphasis on "works" required for salvation such as the "studying" of WT publication to qualify for baptism, meeting attendance, formal witnessing and reporting all considered essential for salvation, yet the bible references sited as proof to such things are vague and general.

Nah, if they can't be bothered treating you like a human being then how does soup help?
Prisoners get meals as well doesn't mean the guards love them or feel bad for keeping them prisoner.
I understand completely why you're pissed.
Shunned people need friends and family not patronized with the soup of silence.

Money woes show it ain't the truth
by OnTheWayOut injehovahs people do not beg for money.
[...] we have never considered it proper to solicit money for the lords cause, after the common custom .
it is our judgment that money raised by the various begging devices in the name of our lord is offensive, unacceptable to him, and does not bring his blessing either upon the givers or the work accomplished.

Well, with faith being such an exact science and all, if they go under it shows they are chosen because they are being "persecuted for my sake" and if their shameless "show me the money" stunt works then they are chosen because Jehovah saved their asses from the fiscal abyss. -

Have you heard the one about "Back to the Future" Predicting 911??
by EndofMysteries inwhen somebody posted this on fb, i was anxious to see how ridiculous it would be, probably worse then the gb prophecies, etc.
after watching the clip, i honestly don't know what to believe.
at the very least it's very entertaining and interesting.

The glass on my oven door exploded as you describe, a thousand pieces of safety glass all over the place.
I had just checked whatever was cooking shut the door and as I turned and walked away pshhh.
I felt like I was in a Bruce Willis movie walking away calmly from a house as it explodes behind him.lol, ok so I have a flair for the dramatic.
I wish the WT was an oven door 😇
