  Interesting article considering what's happening begging for money in the congregations

  http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/14/us/sunday-stickup/index.html.

  i thought this article had some interesting interesting comments including this, "if a pastor or church leader has ever told you that the bible commands christians to tithe or give 10% of their income; hit you up for multiple offerings during one service; made you march up front to give; asked you to donate to a mysterious "building fund" or give a "first-fruit" offering; or even given special recognition to big givers in your congregation, lee and other pastors have a message for you:.

  you are getting played.. these rituals, they say, violate new testament teachings about how and why people should give.

  i was inspired to post this because so many of you lovingly support your spouse by going to meetings conventions etc .knowing the crap your going to have to put up with , hoping that someday he/she will wake up to the bs.. and your willing to do this for as long as it takes .i take my hat off to you all.. it must take a lot of intestinal fortitude and love to do that .. smiddy.

  Crazy guy, I understand many feel the need to make a firm stand, but everything seems to indicate that you can't TELL someone ttatt. They've got to want to know it themselves.

  My wife knows how I feel and she knows I'm only going to support her and not destroy our social circle. I ask occasional questions, but eventually, she'll want to know why I feel the way I do, and hopefully, because she WANTS to know, it'll have effect.

  Being shunned only increases my certainty that the WBT$ is a cult

  well, i don't wanna rant too much but sometimes things cut you don't they.. a family member had a get together for the family, jw and non jw and of course i wasn't invited being da'd.. i understand why they couldn't invite me but it just made me think.

  in normal society this wouldn't happen.

  i'd have been there.. the shunning is so unnatural and damaging.

  Mister punk, you've gained virtual family here, and you're always welcome at mine for a cuppa or an ale.

  Äkta Människor (Real Humans)

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  we've just started watching this swedish parallel-present series about human-like robots (hubots) seeking independence.. its really well done but subtitled (if you didn't mind the original "girl with the dragon tattoo") and the best description of it i was saw the stepford wives meets blade runner.

  kind of creepy and unsettling and touches on some adult themed topics (robots for sex).. anyone else seen it?

  i only started watching because i was too lazy to get up and get the remote one night but it was pretty gripping.. .

  The English version starts in the UK on Sunday evening, really looking forward to it... I didn't know it was a remake of a Swedish original, thanks for pointing that out.

  Spin it.

  1. Back pedal the material, soften it, focus on Christ, qualities, community, love, make it more 'Christian' and loving than anything we ever get asked to talk about, and get congratulated afterwards on what a great talk it was, your best yet.

  2. Do what punk said, go hard line, ultra jw, obey the gb, salvation only comes from them, do more, do more, do MORE, and aren't we brilliant cos only we have the (ever changing) truth. Then get congratulated afterwards on what a great talk it was, your best yet.

  Either way, the audience have decided it's their truth, so they'll make whatever you say fit.

  i am on here as another member, but even with a username and not revealing my identity, i am still too embarrassed to use it.

  had to make up a new one.

  that being said.... my boyfriend is watching pornography, and it seriously hurts my feelings.

  Some great advice up there.

  Sorry you're going through this.

  You should be with someone that's your best friend, not someone that does any of the above listed things.....

  Much love.

  Blood Reasoning...

  by iwasblind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as we fade we still do studies with people but only from the scriptures.. one study asked about the blood, so we should the revelant scriptures and asked how she felt about transfusions.. she said that "nothing loses it's life when you receive blood so it is fine in her conscience".

  love it!

  the scriptures clearly show that the blood being poured out was to show respect that something lost it's life.. maybe you can ask a witness, why it is ok to receive an organ from someone who has passed away but not ok to receive blood from a live person?.

  having a dark night of the soul

  i'm writing this here because i need someone to talk to, and you're the only folks i know who will understand.

  most of the time i think i'm a pretty happy and together person, but lately, i'll see something that reminds me of my family and i'll spontaneously start crying.

  i miss them so much and my heart keeps breaking, and even though i have kind people i work and volunteer with, i feel so incredibly lonely sometimes.
