about a month ago, i purchased arabic/english gospels of john that contain a commentary for muslims.. .
i went to one of my neighbors and spoke to him and gave him one.
fast forward to today, my brakes need done so i took my car to the shop, walking back into my street i saw my friend abdullah outside.. .
For a moment there I thought that it was StopTheTears that was going to convert to Islam. Whew.
In any case, Islam teaches that Jesus will return in the last days to assist the Mahdi (Muslim messiah) in his war against the Muslim boogey man who's the equivalent to the Christian Antichrist. I guess that gives you both some common ground.
Persistent means continuous. Does that mean that the Watchtower allows for occasional "spiritual association"?
i am new to this site, was always told by my elder father if the site accidentally appeared on the comp screen it was satans doing.
anyways, i am 28 y/m who had the unfortunate life of being the last of three kids to be born ins.
my oldest sibling lasted about 8 years before she was d,f.
Welcome Dexter.
By the way, what happened to your sister after she was thrown out?

things like this can have knock-on effects as other systems become overloaded, so far we seem ok so fingers crossed we stay that way..
Donald Trump found the "any Key"
Donald Trump is too stupid to find his own reflection.

It's the Russians I say!
i know i will get a lot of backslash on this forum for saying this, but as it looks like, i won't ever be able to escape the jws.
i have been a born in, third generation jw and awoken in one way or another (i joined this forum 15 years ago) for a very long time.
but i have adapted to the jw lifestyle to a point where it does not bother me anymore.
nevaagain,
So what I am trying to say is, I woulnd't live any different as a worldly person.
Don't mean to be rude but how could you live with yourself if you were to convert a 'worldly' person to your religion? Would your conscience not feel guilty for introducing him/her into a destructive cult?
researchers have found evidence that modern genital warts – otherwise known as the human papillomavirus (hpv) – were sexually transmitted to homo sapiens after our ancestors slept with neanderthals and denisovans roughly around 100,000 years ago.....
A 100,000 years ago? I'm a little confused. Although we started migrating 60,000 years ago from Africa it wasn't until about 45,000 years ago that our species colonized Europe where Neandertals lived (There is no evidence of them elsewhere). There may have been other "archaic" species in Africa who, when we began to expand in and out of the continent, might have infected us.
Yet again, we might have caught it from Neandertals in the ever changing border between our two populations (?).
hi guys.
i could really do with you advice regarding my current state since being disfellowshipped 16 weeks ago.. since being given the boot (i did try to fade but it failed) ive been on a rollacoaster of emotions.
lately im getting frequent headaches, tiredness and i have about 3 or 4 thoughts running through my mind at all times.. im passed the sadness phase of discovering it's a cult.
pale.emperor,
What i'd like to know is, is there a list of phases one goes through before they're "recovered" from this cult?
It's probably different with everyone but I went through the following:
ok...so i'm a 19 year old fifth generation jw.
mentality, i've been out of the "truth" since i was 16(woke up after i was baptized ironically), but on the outside i'm a model jw.
my parents are really devoted, my grandparents are super devoted, and so are my ants and uncles.
...I intend to fade out after college...
If you're going to college it will consume more time than you will have for the meetings. Going to college should be the beginning of your fade not afterwards. You can always excuse yourself by saying that your studies are overwhelming you.
By the way, welcome to the forum.
i have been out now for 6 years but lately i have been giving some thought to da.
i just kind of feel that chapter in my life is still open and for some reason i feel like da'ing might close that chapter but i'm not entirely sure.
im not df either, when i left i basically faded and disappeared.
Good way of putting it NewYork.
