  Going to see Star Wars:The Force Awakens - What are you seeing?

  this is not an attempt to 'straightjacket' anyone into a fixed interpretative perspective.

  so set your mind free and see satan and his demons if you reallynwant to adopt a possible jw perspective.

  or, just sit back and watch the show and the trick affects if you want.. or like the uk guardian you could see the movie in terms of dysfunction (personal and family).. quote: the original movies were always based on the most extraordinary nexus of personal and family dysfunction: a motor of guilt, shame and conflict.

  after a long struggle with myself, i did send a sms to my mother this morning, telling her i didn't want to go to the meeting, and that i no longer believe in the organisation, don't really believe in god any more either but i put that out.

  i wrote about three things that i thought are obvious, the overlapping generation that doesn't make sense, the flood an the animals in australia- how they came there.

  and jw tv that makes them look as any other religion.

  Update!

  My mum phoned me ant we spoke for a whole hour about different stuff. It turned out she has doubt about certain things and especially the overlapping generation-thing. It also sounded like she understood me. She said that its different for me that has never been in the "world" and haven´t been able to explore other religions like she did before choosing this one. She was crying a bit, must have been a chock for her to realise I don't believe anymore. On the other hand, I thought she would be angry, and I really dreaded what her reaction would be like.

  I hope your mom comes around and actually recognizes the validity of your argument.

  Yes I got the feeling that she actually did that, but time will tell how it works out. I guess it depends on how much she speaks about this with others and so.

  It is indeed quite the internal struggle between being true to yourself and not, but I believe you made the right choice in being honest.
  Nothing may come of it, so don't sweat it, you'll cross that bridge if and when etc etc.
  Don't let anyone shame you for being honest.

  This must be the best I have read for a long time :) This is exactly how I feel, I need to be true to myself...I can't do the fade, like others. It might work good for some, but I felt I just couldn't do that.

  Got a SMS back telling how much she loves me and so on and that we must talk about this. Kind of surprising, I thought it would be more of a rumble. Anywat its only the beginning, maybe it will get worse, sending elder after me. Update will come.

  Name Things You Can't Do If You Are JW...or not supposed to do

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses are not supposed to stand for the national anthem but can stand for a flag salute.. you can't say bless you if someone sneezes, good luck!, or " you too" if someone says, happy holidays.. it is a religion of cannot dos.

  everything is pagan and worldly.. what are things that are unacceptable to jehovah's witnesses that really are no big deal to everyone else?

  Largest amount of refugees since WW2 in Europe

  by Powermetal4ever in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.

  so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

  No I am not fond of Islam , but one thing in all of this make me somewhat happy. And that is when I read about the help those refugees actually receives from usual people. For instance in my country there has been a big fundraising recently. And I think that disproves the JW teaching that there is no love in the world.
