  hello everyone, it's been a while since i've posted anything on here so i thought i might give an update.

  next month i turn 18 and my mom is constantly berating me about getting baptized, so much so that my siblings have even told her to stop.

  ive just been flat out telling her no which i know is irritating her.

  Hello. Thanks for sharing your update.

  You have been wise in saving up money and planning for places to move to.

  Contacting other releatives is a good move too. Ensure that those relatives can be trusted to support you unconditionally if you move out from your parents. Also make sure those relatives know the reason for your parents making you leave was because of releigious differences.

  Be cautious as to the friendship group you draw closer to once you leave. It is better to be a loner that get mixed up in the wrong group.

  Be safe. Much love from us.

  God of the Old Testament

  by unsure in

  2. beliefs

  to those on these forums who are christian and or to those who believe in the god of the old testament; how does one overcome many of the questionable actions god took or allowed to happen in the old testament?.

  many if not most of us have heard of criticisms of the god of the old testament.

  you can find these criticisms on many websites.. how do you explain to an honest hearted person why god acted the way they did?.

  Basically, if a person today acted in the manner "yaweh" or "god" did, he would be condemned as a criminal and punished...NOT praised.

  JUNE 2017 Watchtower - Lost a loved one? Go out in service!

  by pale.emperor in

  apparently going to the kingdom hall and getting out in the door to door ministry is the best way to get over the loss of a loved one.

  who'dve thunk it?.

  That paragraph 13 is sickening!

  "True Friends"? haha! What a misleading statement. It should have read "Conditional friends" based on the perceived level of "spirituality" you seem to have!

  Ted talk

  i like to watch ted talks.. a recent one i watched was "why i left the westboro baptist church" x megan phelps-roper.

  i have never heard of this church ever before after all i am in australia.

  the talk and all the young woman stated as beliefs and dogma sounded just like the jw minus the noisy demos..

  by Libby in

  so i thought my purpose was to serve jehovah and get baptised.

  where do i go now to get baptised?

  is baptism even a requirement for serving god or was that just for the disciples and people of that time.

  Welcome!

  As others have wisely said already, RESEARCH, and educate yourself about the JW organisation...and the bible itself.

  As you do, you will learn to let go of the FOG, which stands for FEAR, OBLIGATION, GUILT.

  All aspects of being raised in a high control group result in us having such FOG deeply ingrained. This is toxic, and needs to be seen for what it is.

  So they can all bow before him and give him "praise all day and night" as the bible says.

  Amazing how the "almighty" needs constant validation and reassurance of his "amazingness"....

  I'm ashamed to say that I was a very self-righteous opinionated judgemental young prick of a brother.... as I followed the expectations placed on me by the society of an appointed brother in bethel....

  To all whom I "counselled", I say sorry.

  How can angels be sexually attracted to women?

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the nephilim account in genesis is utterly ridiculous when you consider that angels are sex-less beings and would therefore lack sex-drive and romantic attraction.

  think of how difficult it is for humans with a sex drive to be sexually attracted to animals.

  now take away that sex drive and it becomes literally impossible.

  This story also fails because it is based on the premise that human sexuality is more enjoyable than being a divine being in the heavens !

  As amazing as sex might be, surely life as a mighty spirit being would supersede or override that?

  greetings, friends:.

  the following is one of those now-i've-heard-everything field experiences.. this morning i went to a client's home to collect on work done.

  while we were talking, the phone rang, she picked up, and told me she didn't recognize the caller id.

  It sounds like a clever method of reaching those in gated communities who can't be called on in the door to door work...

  Then if anyone complains about witnesses, the publishers can say they invited someone...not cold called on their door...

  sneaky bastards...
