i recently bought a bible after not having one or cracking one open for 18 years.

it's amazing how different it is now.

i thought it was all mumbo jumbo contradictions and insane ramblings.

I recently bought a Bible after not having one or cracking one open for 18 years. It's amazing how different it is now. I thought it was all mumbo jumbo contradictions and insane ramblings. (okay - some of it is) Today I read the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis. I never knew the story of Lot's 2 daughters getting him drunk and having sex with him and having children for him. And Lot didn't know it happened...Yea right! So am I to understand that whatever the people in S/G were doing was worse than incest?? UGH! And Lot's wife was turned into a piller of salt for looking back at her burning home, friends and family. Grrrr. And Lot skates by, drunk and happily laid by his 2 beautiful daughters. Ugh!! Again!!

Also....why wasn't this story in our nice little bible story book?? Tehehe Can you imagine the WT pictures depicting that?!?!

Am I the only one who doesn't get it??

What is the ONE thing the world needs MORE of...

besides love.... your opinion?

LABD - in your first post you highlighted the 2nd meaning. But based on your last post - it appears one would need to apply the 1st meaning: capacity to endure pain or hardship

To me, tolerance of anothers view that is in conflict with mine is a lot easier to tolerate if it does not harm me. The JW doctrines have harmed me and my whole family.

Prepare for an encounter with a JW

by Sirona in

after reading cyber-sister's post about a jw who knocked on her door, i thought it might be a good idea to talk about preparing ourselves for the almost inevitable time when a jw will try to "preach to us" and try to get us to return.. like cyber-sister i met a jw fairly recently who immediately started preaching to me.

she said jehovah had removed his holy spirit from me and that is why i can't see the "truth".

at the time i was taken unawares and didn't really know what to say, apart from that i don't believe it anymore.

Bubbamar

This is a great thread!! I am all for planting seeds. I feel I have a sort of duty to inform and plant seeds whenever possible. It may be their only chance to learn the truth! haha - that sounds like a dub. But really - I know my mom is too loyal to read a book or do an internet search. I can only hope that someday she will knock on one of your doors!!

i drive past patterson about once a month.

and read here about tours there.

so i stopped.

Bubbamar

Hey!! That's no fair! Talking french in here!

I loved the bethel story!! Way to go! I'm so shocked that an 18 year bethelite let you cover so much ground!

Okay, now I have to know about the Russian Convention, Tax in France, Norway, hughes case and glen how?

disfellowship me again

what is everyone so afraid of?

none of these arse holes can bother you afterwards, its been great.

Bubbamar

I can say that agree from the viewpoint that it was such a relief to have them off my back. No more pressure to pioneer, guilt trips for wanting to go to college and have a career, buying a 2 door car, dating......you guys know the list. I got to celebrate my 19th birthday, christmas, go trick-or-treating (had to find some kids so I could "take them" haha) etc.

Has all that freedom made up for losing my mom? That's a tough call. If I had to do it over again I would fade.

I'm happy to hear of at least 1 DF'ed JW who did not have to experience any painful repercusions.
