  He would say: " TRUTH? You are calling your teachings the Truth? Read my Lips:

  "I am the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life"

  kansas city police: 'precious doe' is ericatipster gives name of girl found decapitated in 2001; mother arrested.

  On TV this morning, the minister (I think) who has been posting the award each year, said he ALMOST didn't do it again this year, because many people told him it was useless. But he had to try...OMIGOD, what a good person he was. Finally that little precious can rest in peace. Those Monsters deserve the same hell they brought to that sweet innocent babe, IMO.

  What Is The Purpose Of Life? - please read if you care about me

  by Cygnus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  these last 2 months have been the worst of my life.

  i can only answer my subject question by saying the purpose of life is the 4 things sought after in the wizard of oz: love, courage, intelligence, and home.. and we all possess them whether we know it or not.

  and especially love.

  Cygnus, The words posted here from friends speak volumes. If only others in your position had so much support!

  SERENITY PRAYER
  GOD, GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE, COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

  Shalom,

  All that you can't leave behind

  that was the title of a fabulous u2 cd, but i borrow it here to ask you all, old friends, a question.. first, apologies for being absent for so long.

  "real life" projects have cut into my online time, been so busy i haven't had time to turn around twice.

  but you are in my thoughts, daily.. my question for pondering...how do you know what to keep and what to throw away?.

  YIKES! I need help here. I can tell others what to throw away, but....I have 3 adult children, NO grandkids, and still have some of their books and toys put away. and a couple special outfits. These are going on 32 years now! They just remind ME that I am getting OLD...UGH. Plus I have started going to garage sales (I sell on eBay) and My own garage is filling up with TOO MUCH STUFF!

  I have about 2 boxes of copies of JW stuff off the internet; from months of obsessiveness when my daughter was dating the JW. I definitely need to pitch that I guess.

  so, thanks for getting me started. I think I'll keep my *kids* things for a couple more years. I did toss most of their papers, etc. but the few that I kept, I tried to give to them and they didn't want them~

  Hi tsunami! I'm a mom who's raised 3 kids...one of them dated a JW, which is what brought me here.

  B4 you think I'm older than sh*t...wait a minute. I know some of what you are feeling and it is all really normal. Yes, the JW stuff adds to it, but believe me, each one of my kids went through depression in mid teens to probably 20. My girls still deal w. it off and on. They are beautiful 'kids' and have found their own way. But I was there for them, maybe not to hand out the $$, but to offer support when they needed it.

  I just want to say, hang tough, you are doing OK. DOn't let it all get you down. You have come a long way...any chance of just getting out after this summer and working full time, going to college part time? BE careful with your finances, don't use a credit card if you can avoid that. It can kill ya.

  You can write me if you feel like it, I'm on your side. [email protected]

  Take care of your fine self!

  VERY ANGRY at jw for treating someone special to me/other women so bad

  by VH5150 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i think that the way jw treats women is absolutely terrible!!!!!

  makes me want to confront them and give the powers that be a taste of the same medicine they dish out.

  how can the be so cold and insensitive to treat another human being this way for any reason and try to justify with the words of the bible.

  You sound like a very caring friend. So, has your lady friend told you a specific problem she encountered as a JW...is she being shunned by family or friends now? They are a sick, strange lot who think they are doing right by ignoring the main Rule of Jesus: Do unto Others as you would have them do unto you. This rule doesn't apply to JW's, according to the way they show their love.

  Peace,

  Good Grief Girl. Get away while you can. Sure he might be a nice guy...but does he mean more to you than your daughter? Have you heard all the damage that this cult can do to people like yourself, but more importantly, your daughter? Are you ready to tell her NO MORE Birthdays...NO MORE Christmas....You CANNOT Take Blood if You are laying dying from an accident.....???

  You sound desperate and young. Grow up for your daughter's sake, please!

  (Have you taken your daughter to a church ever in her young life? She deserves to learn about the REAL God, not the WTBS God)

  I truly hope you will listen to these people who have lived through more than you can imagine....with "Nice" JWs like your friend.

  Did you know that it is wrong to play Chess?

  by Rod P in

  i remember being at a bookstudy one tuesday night.

  i had just recently been reinstated, and i was trying hard to believe the stuff the wbts was teaching, as i went back to be reunited with my family.

  (this did not mean i had all the doctrinal beliefs straightened out so that i was an "automatic believer" just because of being reinstated.).

  Thoughts on Reading CoC

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am reading crisis of conscience and am wondering what goes through people's minds when they read it, i am on about page 115. i find it slow reading because of the way it is written.

  even though i have been out of the org for going on 20 years, i am a little shocked at some of the stuff i'm reading and i feel like it shouldn't shock me.

  i remember when i was a jw, how the governing body was put on a pedestal; everyone assumes they spend all their time studying and praying over matters from a scriptural standpoint.

  Well, after reading all these posts I think I am going to take a chance and mail C.of C. to my JW relative.

  If you were a JW and received one in your hands, unexpectedly...what do you think you would do????
