When You Would Hear A Talk About Committing “Secret Sins” How Did You React?
by minimus init seemed as if every year a talk would be given in the congregation or at a convention about “secret sins”.
very predictably, witnesses would have pangs of conscience and confess their secret sin.. back in the 70s, one sister with an unbelieving mate went to the elders to confess about husband and her engaging in oral sex.
she was privately reproved for her “sin” and every so often would approach the elders to say she slipped up again.. i know i’d never tell anybody about my sex life just because of misguided guilt.

But days of future passed I like my old sweater with the hole in it. It's very comfortable and warm. I don't have to worry about getting more holes or spilling coffee on it. Lol Secret sins are just another way the cult controls people. Without sins and the devil there would be no religion telling people what to do. Yes god is more interested in secret sins than all the horrible things that happen in this world. Sick! Still Totally ADD

Hello and welcome Inactive. So sorry for all you are going through. You have made the very first big step out of a cult who could care less about you or anyone else. I hope you are getting help from a doctor. If so the next time you see your doctor ask if there are any support groups you could go to or a good therapist who knows how to help ones who are leaving a cult.. Many of us have gone through the same thing so don't feel it's you. Because it's not instead it's the mind control JW's cult we have all been victim to. You have friends here and we are so happy you have wokeup to the twisted thinking of the Wt. You deserve better and you are worth it. Good luck to you and take care. Still Totally ADD

For those who are obese they are actually suffering from malnutrition. Yes they may have lots of food to eat but it is most likely food full of fat and surgar. Process food which is addictive. This is the trap many normal weight and overweight people fall into. For most now a days eating whole food that is nutritious is not part of their lifes anymore. Many are victims of fast and cheap food. Still Totally ADD

Christians, Islam and most of all other religions teach hate and judgemental thinking towards those who are not them. No one deserves violent acts towards them but religions on all sides condone it one way or another. The God Virus is strong on this planet and it maybe the cause of all human life to end. Sad, very sad. Still Totally ADD

Who Really Was Satan?
by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara indont you think that satan was a pomo ?
when you read in the genesis account : "at this the serpent said to the woman: 'you certainly will not die.
5 for god knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like god, knowing good and bad.'".

Good point you are making but lets think of this in another way. No satan no need for a god. You only need salvation or a god to workship if there is a satan. Just a thought. Still Totally ADD

Review: revised Elder's manual, part 4 (final part)
by neat blue dog inhere's the cruel, uncomfortable and dehumanizing description of transport for disfellowshipped ones:.
in cases of real need, the elders can determine wheth-er some assistance may be provided.
such assistance would be viewed as similar to public transportation in that there should be no conversing with the disfellowshipped or disassociated person.

Unbeliveable! The part about you don't own the KH but you have to use your own money and time to maintain it. Then we the borg have the right to pull the rug from under you and sell the building and keep all the money. Let's all review this. It' a CULT. Still Totally ADD

Should illegal immigrants be sent “Only” to Sanctuary Cities?
by I believe in overlapping inpro-illegal immigration advocates are fighting president trump’s efforts to keep illegal immigrants out of the united states.
trump wants immigrants to enter the usa legally and in a controlled manner so as not to tax the local economies of their resources that will burden the local law abiding citizens.
“pro illegal immigrant’s advocates insist that illegal immigrants are overwhelmingly good people fleeing bad circumstances in poverty-stricken, gang-ridden or war-torn countries.

Hi Punk,
So gald you are doing so well. Living a cult free life is so rewarding. It was so nice to see your post this morning. It really starts my day off with good thoughts. I remember when I was a teenager one of my favorite albums was Deep Purple with the Philharmonic Orchestra. I wore that 8-track tape out. Lol. Take care and good luck with your band. It sounds like alot of fun. Still Totally ADD
