  In other churches he would get some grape juice and wouldn't need to drink alcohol.

  What does bttt's mean?

  by carefully faded in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this may sound terribly ignorant, but i've seen references many times on this website to "bttt's" and i don't know what it means.

  i think it may have something to do with bringing old topics back to life?.

  I'd say: if you love her - go with her and endure. Next year could be different already.

  To Those With "Ears" to Hear...

  by AGuest in

  2. friends

  in the spirit of the love of my lord, the son of god and his christ, i say to you, by means of the spirit of god that is in me, holy spirit:

  along with all those everywhere who are wishing to know that one?

  the truth that can truly set you free... hear him when he speaks to you.

  It is very easy:

  Rev 1:17 " Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations"

  Don't let anyone cut off your ears

  [edited for clarification: I have to add that this is a common joke between me and my wife]

  Hello New Castle!

  You must be really lucky coming out of JW together with your wife. It is the same for us and first time i told her i wasn't sure about the reaction. But we both are leaving and feeling free again - esp after reading R.Franz books "crisis of conscience" and "in searh of christian freedom".

  So welcome on this board!

  And that statement "conduct commonly associated with houses of prostitution." Huh?

  I would recommend not to pay anymore for it.

  Question from Readers,WT MARCH 15, 2004 page 28

  .

  whose feet were touched when zipporah cut off her son's 4skin in an attempt 2 set matters straight?.

  it was the angel of jehovah who had the power 2 put thew uncircumcised son 2 death.logically,then,zipporah would have caused the 4skin 2 touch the angel's feet,presenting it 2 him as evidence that she had complied with the covenant.. i understand from somewhere,possibly my niv study bible that the word used 4 feet can also mean genitals, there4 did zipporah put it on the angels thingy.. any comments?

  I read in some commentaries that Zipporah put it on Mose's feet, not an angel's.

  But ... did you have a closer look at the rest of the answer to the QFR? I once saw some very uninteresting question and additional to answer the question the WT also repeated/renewed some basic teaching.

  Depressed

  by Descender in

  hi, i'm wondering what the best way to get over depression is.

  i've been in a black hole for 3 months now and every damn day is a battle just to get out of bed.

  i've been faded for awhile now and so i lost most all the jw friends that i had in that transition.

  And please take this good advice from your friends. It helped me a lot to be at this side and talk about my feelings or just say nonsense.

  But I am on my way out of JW and do have some pain. Here are many with similar experience that really are touched by emotions! Do look for a professional and some group of exJW near your place.
