MEN ONLY- Freezing up at the Urinal!

by Funchback in

jw
friends

women are invited to read this but they most certainly won't be able to relate.

i know there have to be a lot of men out there who can't pee while in a crowded public restroom (bathroom).

personally, the more people who surround me while i'm standing at the urinal, the more difficult it is for me to pee.

SuperMommy

It is healthier for your prostate if you sit when you pee.

this has been something i have been thinking of for awhile.i was so naive when i started to study and i was even naive when i was in for a few yrs.. i suppose i could be calling myself gullible too,but you know,when i was a jw,i had no idea what the "society" was,no idea who was teaching these beliefs.i look back at it and i realize how i just listened to what was thrown at me.people told me it was the "truth",so it had to be the truth.. when i was a child,i went to bible studies and sunday's school,but i never really went to church to "learn"the bible.so basically never had any biblical knowledge,before i began to study.. when i was studing and even when i was a jw,i always felt something wasnot right,and that used to bother me and depress me.never feeling i was good enough for god.i didnot want to get baptized when i did,i felt something was wrong but i went ahead just incase........ kinda ticks me off,that i never learned the background and history of this religion...but of course i wouldnot be here and wouldnot have met many great people as i have and hope to meet more!.

it wasn't until,i started to search and started to read the bible on my own,that i realized how wrong this religion is.it was like "wow"........with some anger mixed in there too with the "wows".

now i believe,the bible is not 100% authentic,but there is a loving god and i believe in jesus and he died for all people!

SuperMommy

I am right there with you.

I should have known better. I had been in church my entire life until college. I learned the Bible. I was in church 4-5 times a week learning and socializing with Christians. I stopped going when two of the leaders in the youth group started getting under my skin. One kicked me out of a function and one took me behind closed doors and yelled at me. I don't blame them for my descision to stop going to church when I needed it most (the college years). After all of this 4 kids and no regular church support...I was reading the Bible now and again on my own. I was ripe for the JW's to come. I was home alone watching my babies most of the day. I was craving anything to challenge my mind...and, boy, did they!

I am glad I came here and realized that my studies weren't leading me to truth before I took it to far.

GM crops

.

ow, what do you think??

?

SuperMommy

I love GM crops...anything to be able to feed more people is a good thing. We have been genetic changing plants and animals through selective breeding for years...if we can use science to better the lives of people, why not?

JW Baby Given Blood

by Kenneson in

despite the parents objections, a duval county, florida (jacksonville area) judge ordered blood transfusions for a baby born prematurely.

interestingly, even the aclu did not side with the parents.

see "judge overrides parents on giving blood to baby.

SuperMommy

My husband and I do not share the same name. I was going through some legal issues when we were married. It is confussing sometimes...hmmmm....maybe after 4 1/2 years it should be changed

do you still subscribe to the wt & awake?

i am curious because i noticed that some here seem to know what is coming up in the current mags (i know some people here are active jw) -- but if you are df'd or inactive (like me) do you still like reading the mags?

i have found that i have no desire to see the magazines -- let alone read them.. thanks.. purza (who is just curious)

SuperMommy

I was told the subscriptions ceased because of rising postage costs...I am personnally happy to hear it.

It is wonderful that modern medicine could help a child. YEAH!!! I am so glad to hear that the courts can interfere in some of these cases.

Proof There is No Jehovah

by new light in

if you believe in jehovah as portrayed in the bible, you believe that you are a creature possessing free will.

you don't believe in fate or predestination.

you believe that jehovah selectively answers prayers.

SuperMommy

Many things can influence our minds. If we choose to listen to god then that is our will. He can gives us suggestions, but we don't have to follow them (example: Jonah) I believe we have the free will to choose wether to listen to these suggestions or not. Just because there are consequences doesn't mean we still have no choice. I can choose to poke my eye out. God would probably not want me to...I may even hear reasons in my brain not to do it. If I do it and I loose vision, bleed and experience pain...my free will has not been effected.
