  back in march i fell and injured my back at work.

  my back has been a problem for many years but certain exercise has able me to function normally through the years.

  now i walk bent over with a cane and cannot walk very far, stand, or sit in a straight back chair.

  High ADD,

  My doctor last year told me that due to my strong and repeated back pains I should be seriously thinking of having a surgery to avoid later to move around in a wheelchair . After some neurological examinations (medical scanner, etc.) done in my living place, he sent me to the most famous hospital in my country so that a professor could perform a short review of my medical history and some examination (walking normally and then on tip-toe, bending forward and backward, etc..). Luckily for me the professor has not recommended surgery. If he would have told me I should have surgery, I do not know if I would have accepted. ADD, you are only 63 years old an I am now 74. Luckily since one year I do not need some other appointment at the doctor's. And now instead of using a wheelchair to move around as envisaged by my doctor, I am doing some home training using a rowing machine and I feel quite all right. Life is nice ! Take care and All the Best.

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses a cult just as evil and dangerous as Islam?

  by cookiemaster in

  2. beliefs

  i know you might think i'm exaggerating but if you really think about it, maybe i'm not.

  these two religions originate with the same ancient belief system.

  islam is a dangerous middle eastern cult that seeks to control every aspect of its members' lives.

  They are both keeping strict discipline using threatening behaviors originating from the upper part of their own highly dangerous pyramidal organizations.

  Jehovah's Witnesses act like 'Flirts' with people!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower

  we were just musing that jws act in a "flirtatious" manner with people in the community.. they show such "sincere" interest in people when they call.

  they seem like such kind, caring and thoughtful people - really interested in their lives and welfare.. people are often quite impressed with the jws manner, and their well dressed presentation.

  people (especially vulnerable ones who are going through difficult pressures in life), are drawn in and made to feel special by the witnesses as they call back.. return visits take place.

  Instead of being flirting with people to attract innocent and "lost" sheep into their cult made in USA, I would rather use the term of "acting like hypocrites". But regarding the rank and file members still trapped in the JW.org snare I have to admit for their defense that they are so much mentally manipulated that they are physically unable to realize this kind of reality. This is not valid for those placed higher up at the top of the WT pyramid.

  Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?

  i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.

  once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

  If Jesus had to choose his earthly organisation NOW, who would win?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know that the society claims that jesus invisibly chose the bible students (forerunners of jw) in 1919 to be his organization here on earth.. yet, as we know, so much of what they then taught and did was wrong according to current teaching and practice.. the reply witnesses will give is something like "they were the most sincere seekers of truth blah blah...and jesus could see their potential".

  so, pretend for a moment that the current organization and the 1919 organization were both in concurrent existence at the time he invisibly came to choose.... which would he choose?

  the current or former?.

  I think it is better to let the 44th American president give the answer to your question :

  As far as I am concerned a guillotine of any type would be a better choice for me.

  The most moderate organization can sometimes be extremely extremist.

  That's the reason why I have decided two years and two months ago, due to conscience and personal reasons, to dissociate myself from the JW cult made in USA.

  And to love God and my neighbor far away from any restrictive organization.

  warwick is having an open house! here is your chance people

  by nowwhat? in

  2. scandals

  don't know which saturday it is but it's an open house for the surrounding community.

  while on the your tour group , ask tough questions about the organization's policies on pedophiles and shunning.

  do this as a concerned citizen and not a "raging apostate" .

  We can easily imagine that the main offering box in Warwick, after long enough moments of "high-spiritual" debate, prayers and due consideration, has been placed in the most strategic and visible spot located in the new JW.Org headquarters.

  Automatic Love

  by TheFadingAlbatros in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  jehovah's witnesses have a kind of automatic love for all their other co-religionists all around the world.. this kind of attachment can only be the result of a cult machinations.. real love needs real freedom, a strong personal motivation and enough time to be fully developed.. .

  I have been suggested "to start a new post, with a different heading, saying I have lost my most beloved son due to a tragic accident".

  My answer is : no and thank you for your empathy.

  The tragic and real event I have published in my topic "automatic love" was above all to illustrate that there is no real love to expect from JWs.

  My son was riding a motorbike (not a bicyle) in India, were he had the intention to establish himself in a near future. I have been living ten years in India and I am well acquainted with the dangers of Indian roads

  I have been an active JW during 40 years, than an inactive one during three years and two years ago I have decided for reasons of conscience and other personal reasons to disassociate myself officially from the organization of the Jehovah's Witnesses.But I keep my faith in the Almighty God.
  

  I will tell you more about the real purpose of my topic it in a few days. Now I have to get some rest. Thank you and take care. Claude
