Cancer healing—using emotions

by abiather in

[i have some posting problems from my computerreply portion gets hung, hence giving it here].

when i posted the cancer healingusing emotions, it is given as just a link with no recommendation, nor with any comments from me.

it is not presented as a sure cure for the cancer-patient.

Completly unacceptable to link that quackery with the thread entittled "cancer healing" and then suggest you didnt intend to promote it as a cancer healing treatment. Your disingenuous nature is troubling. I also find it unsavoury that you keep attempting to tie in the bible with your questionable comments, as if the bible holds some ultimate authority on this forum. I am sending the sites owner, simon a pm and asking him To take a look this when he logs on today.

for easy referance here is the OP

Who leaves first, the husband or wife?

by snugglebunny in

jw
friends

when it comes to a simple matter of no longer believing the teachings of jw's, it appears to me that it's more common for the husband to make the first move to leave the religion.

So far we have

husband -1

wife -1

I received my acceptance letter into Nursing School.

jw
friends

i've been actively pursuing a career change for quite a few years.

i've applied for nursing programs at several local public colleges.

the competition is high for this limited access program.

Incredible man! Happy for you of course, but your experiance is so different than many others. You already had two degrees where as so many didnt pursure any because of theocracy. You already demonstrated a willingness to invest and i bet that played a role in being accepted into the program :)

i wish you all the best and im sure you make a success of it!

An interesting question...... Along with it should be "why"? I do know its not always the husband though.. Blondie has mentioned it was she who awoke first, and im sure i have read others like it but id love to see an informal poll. I tend to think husbands may see things as elders that make them think and awaken but thats my personal bias speaking. Wifes may be subject to unjust treatment and thus awaken... They may also not be as invested as a male who has congregation responsiblities.

My rational mind says its likely subjective to the individuals in the couple but again i would love to see the informal poll results.....

in my case its obviously me who awoke first and there is little chance if any of the person im obligated too legally ever awaking

This is quackery at its worst. Completely false and unsupported by any evidence whatsoever.

Pick your belief system

by Giordano in

i think we've all noticed a ton of newbe's these past months.

one part of escaping or thinking about escaping the jw's is coming to terms with what you believe now and/or what direction you are leaning towards.. here is a site that has a quick quiz that may be of some worth or just for fun.

i took it when i first signed on here and the results surprised me because it was pretty accurate.. you don't have to sign up for anything and when you finish you will get a percentage answer on 20 major belief systems.

Mine came up "jedi, like your farher before you"

Is the rule of the "two witnesses" always applied in cases of apostasy?

by Judge Rochefort in

hello there.

this is my first thread here.i was wondering if anybody here could help me with a question that i have.my question is this: is it always applied the rule of the "two witnesses" in cases of apostasy?

i'll put an example:if a jw is working with another jw and one of them is continuously talking about teachings contrary to the bible truth as taught by jehovah's witnesses, would the testimony of the other jw be enough to form a judicial committee?thanks!

_Morpheus

Really good question and the answer.... Is yes technically speaking the two witness rule ALWAYS applies for the formation of a judicial committee.

However The aligation alone would likely lead to a shepherding call where the issue would be brought up. For many the idea of lying and expressing full confidance in the governing body would be distastefull once they awoken and thus the mere aligation would lead to a committee indirectly.

but the short answer is no you would not directly emd up before a JC for things said one on one

_Morpheus

Carbon dating is flawed!

where science and the bible conflict we must accept the bible as gods word!

scientists lie and commit academic fraud to make a name for themselves all the time!

- witnesses and fundamenist everwhere

Methane-Based Life Forms Could Exist on Titan (the giant moon of Saturn), say Scientists

by abiather in

liquid water is a requirement for life on earth.

but in other, much colder worlds, life might exist beyond the bounds of water-based chemistry.

cornell chemical engineers and astronomers offer a template for life that could thrive in a harsh, cold world specifically titan, the giant moon of saturn.

_Morpheus

As an aside, i am also a bit of a tesla "fan boy". i think he was a genuis and generally unappreciated in his time for his legitimate comtributions to science.....

he was also a world class bullsh*** artist and made some outrageous and outlandish claims. Just my .02 on that.

as for methane based life forms.. Im open to the possiblity. Carbon is abundant and the makes sense to us but that our bias and our only frame of referance. Id love to see it determined and the science worked through.

Nethanyahu speach to US Congress - not in sync with NRA position on weapons

by RubaDub in

i don't quite understand why mr. nethanyahu is so fearful if iran or other nations have nuclear weapons.

as the nra espouses, the more people are armed and the more weapons on the street, then the safer we should feel.

we all should have the right to protect ourselves.

_Morpheus

Rub, if you would like to discuss gun laws in america you wont be the first start a thread addressing it. That would be a more intelictually honest approach than setting up a false equivalenancy argument with iran V isreal and nuclear arms. Im interested in hearing other views on both topics but this seems like it was a cheap attempt at trading trite campian slogans instead of a real exchange of ideas on either topic.
