Brilliant!
This type of thing is ALWAYS good to hear.
Well done.
so i recently had the opportunity to hear seth andrews speak in person at a local unitarian universalist church.
for those of you who know my past, i've had a bit of a difficult time dealing with the emotional aspects of a fade with a wife that says she believes but doesn't put forth the works that demonstrate that faith.
we've kind of been in a rocky point in our relationship because we've both been afraid to test the waters on where each of us stand.
Brilliant!
This type of thing is ALWAYS good to hear.
Well done.
on this episode we introduce the ranting xjw redneck.
we discuss mlms and sexual repression.. greetings from neo and ava!.
jwescape.libsyn.com.
Love the podcast, keep it up, and thank you!
it really stands out to me just how phoney the bonds of forced brotherhood are.
the smiles are paper thin when they see each other in hotels.
the laughs forced.
I felt the same about the elder tag. And at our convention today they've started introducing the speakers as 'convention coordinator and elder in such and such congregation', or 'branch overseer and elder in bethel', even more drawing attention to their titles.
so my 14 yr old son and i are sitting discussing the eu election vote, and joking around that the we could see a future with donald trump and boris johnson being the uk and us leaders.
we were swapping pictures and jokes from facebook.. but his dad is sitting there waiting until we leave, and comes out with "well daniel 2.44" which reads.......... "and in the days of those kings the god of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin.
and the kingdom itself will not be passed onto any other people.
Hahaaaaa, lol! Great picture, I'd love to share it but it could be the final straw that breaks this faders back, and I'm doing this on MY timetable.
there's simply no way to honestly deny that the ot condones genocide, slavery and misogyny.
there are too many passage showing yahweh commanding his people to wipe out this nation and that nation - women and innocent children included!
it leaves us with a god who wrote a book that very, very, very much seems like it condones genocide, but it doesn't, etc.. what kind of god does that?
Brilliantly articulated. Thank you..
so britain is leaving the european union (eu).. the governing body of jehovah's witnesses have over the past year moved the majority of its european activities to the control of watchtower britain and the ibsa primarily because of britain's membership with the eu.. further, the incorporated pseudo-political lobby group, european association of jehovah's christisn witnesses, based in brussels, is administered by watchtower britain and its officers.
.
expect major changes in the structure of watchtower..
Isn't all the printing going to Germany anyway? Maybe wt saw this coming and acted shrewdly.
Oh no, you know how this is going to be spun don't you? By divine revelation wt moved their operations to Germany JUST before brexit. Must have been Yahweh.
....it would not be scared of critics.
actually they would naturally take an offensive stance, wouldn't they?
they would welcome debate... even encourage it.
Hah. Likewise. Beautifully ranted!
so i'm absolutely clueless concerning relationships.
i had barely any friends at all growing up a jw kid & absolutely no interaction with "worldly" people or any guys whatsoever.
i have had a relationship of sorts with a guy for 4.5 months now, but i'm so clueless!
Hey, glad you're ok matey.
Keep at it, it's a learning process for sure. "Be a friend to have a friend" is what I was taught.
Wishing you well..
hi everybody, i'm starrynight from jwr.
that's it... .
Welcome!
I was just thinking of joining up on jwr , glad I didn't bother now!
my initial pangs of unease and doubt led me to research some things.
well, a lot of things really.
i've never felt comfortable using the bible to try to calculate dates (1914).
Yes.
I wanted to die. I thought I'd let everybody down, my wife, my family, my god.
I wasn't 100% sure when I first started learning ttatt, I just didn't trust my own reasoning power enough. Even now, on occasion, my brain flips back into jdub mode and I wonder if I've been fooled by evil apostates! That's why I keep a file of all the stuff I'm learning, written in my own words and with wt quotes as well. It doesn't take much to realise how much they've obscured the truth from everyone.
We're here for you bro, take your time....
