  Avishai recently expressed his disenchantment over Barbara Walters' interview with Mary Kay Latournaeu: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/8/78743/1.ashx

  Avishai vented:

  20/20

  She's giving a pedophile (Mary kay Latourneau) an open forum to act like a victim. Using words like "Tragic Relationship" "Sexual relationship" . IT WAS RAPE!!!!

  The lying bitch Latourneau said things like "I did'nt know it was a felony in Washington" BULLSH*T!!! I worked in a group home in WA in '89. It's a state that DEFINITELY lets's you know where teh felonies stand. DAMN BABA WAH WAH!!!! If the gender's were reversed this broadcast would never be seen. I AM SO ANGRY!!!!!!!

  Why do they let this psychopath have a forum to look like a victim?!?!?! She destroyed at least 8 lives, not including her own, her husbands, villi fulau's and her 6 children!!!!! SHE IS A RAPIST AND PEDOPHILE!!!! She should be in prison for LIFE!!!

  So many of agree with you, Avishai, and now Larry King is going to do the same thing on his show tonight. http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/larry.king.live/

  I don't think the interview should air, and I am going to send an email to CNN in protest.

  is falling in love "falling" at all?.

  falling is helpless.

  falling is an accident and can prove deadly or injurious.. why is love not a choice?

  Falling is helpless. Falling is an accident and can prove deadly or injurious.

  "Falling" denotes vulnerability, in my opinion. You are opening yourself up to a destiny that is uncertain and holds for you no guarantees. You become vulenerable to another person possibly hurting you or betraying you, but you trust that your "fall" will be broken or cushioned by the other person's trustworthiness and returned expressions of love, trust and faith. I think "falling" is a brilliant description and is akin to "letting go of the rope" "breaking free" and "taking a chance".

  Why is love not a choice? Is it something we make happen or does it happen to us?

  Are we not the source of our own emotions? Are external factors what "make" us feel any certain way at any given time? We decide how we are going feel about any situation merely by the perspective and meaning we give to it. Change your perspective and you change the way you feel. Change the meaning you give it and you change the intensity of emotion you experience. That is definitely a choice, imho. I also think love as an emotion is one of mankinds greatest myths, which goes along with your idea that " . . . falling in love is bred (or a better word might be 'conditioned') into us by centuries of Romanticism . . . " . The only plausible or logical definition of love can be found only when "love" manifests itself through action. I think everyone has certainly been in the position of showing love to another when they feel absolutely no love for that person whatsoever. I think such a situation clearly dispells the false perception or idea that love is something we "feel".

  Is there hidden in our very nature; our heredity, our unknown interior being a secret chemistry we cannot fight?

  Yes, there is. It is called hormones and sexual desire which is all too often equated with feelings of love, but really have nothing to do with love unless that passion/sex is exercised between two partners who actually and genuinely love each other.

  I say the notion of falling in love is bred into us by centuries of Romanticism in our culture our art, music and literature. Arranged marriages held sway for millennia. But, I also think we do not fully ___choose__whom we are strongly attracted to. I believe we can only fight participation in that longing and that passion.

  So many eliments come into play with attraction, most of which have to do with what we personally link up pleasure to. Skin, eyes, hair color, olfactory, tones, gestures, facial expressions . . . it also has something to do with conditioning . . . what we have learned to find attractive based on past experiences in our primary relationships. Closing time at the bar for a really drunk ugly person should do nicely in proving this idea . . . we can very easily deviate from what we already find attractive for the sake of getting laid.

  I assert we either seize the object of our passion or we run from it into the arms of someone less powerfully in control of our emotions.

  That sounds like fear to me, which is the exact polar opposite of love. Anyone who thinks that another is in control of their emotions is simply not in touch with their own feelings and is neither in control of themselves. There are some who want to control the emotions of others and they are successful only because they are allowed by the one being controlled, otherwise controlling another person's emotions is nothing but an illusion, a trick, and can only accomplished with a willing victim.

  "Lord, did we not prophecy in your name"

  my husband and i were talking about how if you stop going to the meetings and then the end comes that they tell you that it would be those ones that would say "lord did we not prophecy in your name etc etc"....... well, he suggested that it would also apply to those who were going to the meetings and maybe sinning a little on the side........so when the end comes, maybe it is those ones that will say "lord did we not prophecy in your name"

  I really believe it must certainly apply to the governing body and what they will no doubt say when Jesus comes with his spiritual ten-key to settle accouts with his "slaves".

  What is the true Christian religion / faith?

  by evergreen in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i,m going to cut to the chase here .i am not long viewing this website and am fascinated at much of what i have read.currently i attend meetings, but sit there and think of what i now know about the society and its past.i just feel so confused at the moment with religion.. its a bit like who shot jfk ,did man really land on the moon etc .. except it involves all of us( just wish i knew the truth).

  the only thing that is keeping me there right now is that all my family are in the "truth" ,,and i cant just stay at home and be shunned which i have recently experienced ( was inactive for a while) .. if i knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that i have found the true faith and discern that it is definately the true faith, i would then make a stand and nothing would stop me .

  already i am reading the scriptures without the aid of wt publications and what i am reading is amazing .i am starting to feel that i am now getting closer to god by simply doing this coupled with prayer.. there must be one true faith as there was in the first century.

  evergreen,

  at present, I am fighting for a cause that leaves me very little time to wonder and worry about what the true religion is. What matters to me right now is that the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society lies scandelously, ruthlessly and shamelessly. They ARE NOT what they claim to be and they are a clear and present danger to CHILDREN and their well being.

  I can not either support or discredit the Bible itself, and I do not wish to. I will say simply that the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses is a high control group and if you commit yourself to their teachings, rules and edicts, and if you have precious children, you will not be giving yourself or them the Christian freedom the Bible speaks of that truly promotes joy, liberation and confidence; you will instead be causing immeasurable harm to yourselves. You will be trapped inside of a cult that will seek to control your every thought, belief and action. Christian freedom should include being able to enjoy a Christian conscience guided by Bible principles and Jesus own example, not the strict absolutes of a man-made organization that usurps the Christ's role as sole mediator between mankind and God.

  I beg you to read more. I ask you to read my own threads regarding the ordeal I have been through will my beloved children, and how we have all suffered because of the religion, not for righteousness sake, but for lies, deceptions, abuse, and hatred at the hands of an organization and its members that claim to be Christian. God is not with this organization. How could He be? There is veil you need to lift up and out of the way so that you can truly see what this religion is.

  Is there a true religion? An organized religion that is acceptible by God? I personally do not think so, because your relationship with your creator is so personal that no man should ever influence or control the nature of that relationship, or tell you how to nurture your conscience.

  Good Luck to you,

  Scholar:LOL @ Scholar
  Please be assured that we are laughing at you, not with you

  Kindly take the "Narkissos Challenge", else retain the title "fraud".

  BA MA Studies in Religion

  Incidentally, what "studies" did you do?
  It seems plain that there was unlikely much translation work or critical analysis involved in the curricullum.

  Thank you little toe.

  Scholar, I simply do not trust anyone, or their word, when they wear their education and/or religion on their sleeve. Their is something terribly insecure about a person who approaches things that way, and it is my experience that people like you will do or say anything to execute a deception attempting to back up your own personal unfounded beliefs.

  This is kind of funny, but just before I came on line and found this thread, I had the WT's Greek Interlinear cracked open comparing it to other Greek interlinear versions.
