  Religiose delusions

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  these differ from religious beliefs in that they are distorted and rigidly held beliefs which would be rejected by other of the same religious persuasion, though they have their initial origin in orthodox religious beliefs.

  the patient may announce that he is the recipient of divine messages or revelations and that he is to save the world, perhaps describing himself as the new messiah.

  the road to salvation may unfortunately be paved by rather odd practices.

  hi sista, welcome.
  I think alot of us here have been in the same boat as you are, guilt is one of the worst weapons used against us.
  you are not a bad person for asking questions or seeking knowledge. You are allowed to serve Jehovah or any
  god you want to without belonging to an organisation. It has taken me a long time to realise that. We are not bad
  people on this site, we are able to relate to eachother..thats all. The word apostate is merley a label. You are
  very strong and you need to do what is right for you, not anyone else. Good luck in your move and your fade,
  i know how difficult it is to have your family still in. ((((hugs))))

  Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I almost won a copy of the 1934 Yearbook on ebay!

  someone posted a bid greater than mine in the last five seconds which prevented me from making a counter bid.

  if you are wondering, that is the book where the wts talks about how much they loved the nazis and what their goals were.. hitler got everything out of the wts that he wanted and then turned on them... hence all of the concentration camp stories you hear jehover witnesses crying about.. why would hitler do this?

  i don't know... ask stalin... hitler did it to him and russia too!.

  Dont you hate it when that happens! I sure would like to see that book.
  I wonder if the WTBTS are the one's that bid higher at the last minute to keep it out of the hands
  of people like us. LOL

  Better luck next time!

  My sad news

  by Fe2O3Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as some of you on the board knew i was expecting a baby, i feel i should let you know that things have not worked out for us.. when i went for the 20 week ultrasound scan last thursday, severe problems were found with our baby's internal development.

  only one kidney was detected, and it was very enlarged and polycystic.

  there was no long term hope for the baby at all; if it survived to full term it could only live for hours at most.

  This is getting insane, you must have put in lots of hours in the past to get this sort of attention. LOL!!!

  This doesnt surprise me in the least, something similar happend to my sister. She was starting the fade, and one day some jw's
  came to her door and kept knocking and knocking, then pounding on the door. Then my sister realized the door was unlocked, so
  as she bolted for the door to lean up against it, they started to come in. They kept pushing on the door trying to force it open and
  my sister kept pushing on the door trying to keep it closed. It was seriously like some deranged cartoon. They ended up giving up
  and left, but she could not beleive that they did that. So, if they would go this far, i can just imagine the extremes they would go
  through to get to trap you into a converstation. Your doing the right thing by making your calls and getting them to stop, otherwise
  it will never end. Take care sweetie, I will call you soon, ok!

  Naming your children Biblical names

  by JustTickledPink in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the thread about jael got me to thinking about all the biblical names i heard from witness children.. jael, barak, elisha, elijah, noah, matthew,.

  anyone else remember new babies coming into the world and being given "biblical" names?

  i thought it was hilarious when there was baby noah.

  My husband and I are not religious people at all, but we named our son Joshua. We just love that name. My cousin who is also an
  ex-witness named her newborn Elijah. I almost thought she was going to meetings again, since she is a sentimental type of person,
  but thats not the case. Its just something about the sound of the names i think.
