  Attn: Formidable Apostates

  by Bubbamar in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read the thread yesterday about apostates and started wondering about your families.

  i am thinking about writing a letter to my mom and sharing with her some of the things i have learned about the jw's but also realize that this will make me an apostate and will worsen an already distant and painful relationship.

  i am hoping that some of you will share your experiences on what impact your outspoken "apostacy" has had on your families - how have they reacted to you.

  my mom is as hard headed as i am, so she knows she's right, and i know i am, but what she doesn't know is that i am right! my parents who are jw's know what i think about it, i have shown info but you know how it is, witnesses 'aren't perfect' and 'i know they make mistakes but i still believe it is the truth and blah blah blah' 'i cross referenced the info you gave and i think it is out of context' or 'oh those publications are really old' 'UN, i don't know what the big deal is all about' all this but yeah, i don't know if i'm viewed as an apostate really, my family were never into shunning, which is funny considering my brother is df (i'm not, i just jacked it in) and my dad is an elder and we still chill out together if by some miracle everyone is in the same place at once. but back to my mom, she told me the other day 'to be honest i just ignore all of it (the day to day soap opera that is the world of jw's) and get on with it'... i am still trying to figure out the full extent of what that means.

  what i would give to open my parents eyes?

  what would my parents give to open mine?

  what a paradox.

  How would you protect an oil tanker in the South China Seas?

  often peoples thoughts of cornwall in times gone by are of swashbuckling pirates and other such things.

  certainly these activities used to go on a great deal even to the point where lights would be hung on lanterns on clifftops during storms to lure ships to their fate on the rocky shoreline below, then to plunder the ship of it's goods, the ships captain obviously believing that the lights signified a safe anchorage.. ---.

  they say that everything starts with ideas.. now this is only a semi serious post, but i just thought, i would post it for schenalligans fun to see others responses.. piracy in the modern world is as much a serious threat today as it was in times gone past.

  the best way to find out why something was designed is to ask the designer

  Another question for all you guys out there

  by Lehaa in

  ok time to be brutally honest.. what do guys think of women with tattoo's.

  first thing that jumps into your head.. reason i ask is i'm getting my first one next week and was wondering what the general concensus is.. i am definately sure about doing it.

  thought about it for years and it took me 6 months to find the design i wanted.

  i am a guy, and if i find a woman attractive, i tend to find her attractive whether she has tattoos or not, it doesn't make any difference, though i do like good tattoos.

  if i don't find a woman attractive, hopefully i will never see her tattoos.

  i've never come accross a woman that i did find attractive that had tattoos that put me off.

  reproduction is not creation, humans reproduce, like animals, we do not create life.

  gepetto created pinocchio

  this means i don't think male/female has anything to do with creation, it could be either, or, both or neither, imo creation requires the intelligence & ability to create. nothing on this planet has enough of either to create life.

  hearing once again about the tragic incident regarding the poor korean fellow, got me to thinking, and has me wondering why some people seem to be attracted to this type of news.

  in just a little while, my sig.

  other will be home, and the first thing he will do, as he has done in the other instances, is to search for the video playback of the execution.

  Why some people seem to be attracted to this type of news.

  i hardly ever watch the news, it's always bad, i think generally that's what sells.

  when i was a dub i use to get so mad trying to get in the national average of 10 hours a month.

  i would work during the week then get 2 - 2.5 hours on sat for maybe 8 - 10 hours a month.

  others like the elders would always be above that average and a lot of the time some of these elders would skip out on vacation or who knows what on half of the saturdays.
