Writing bad checks on Jehovah's account: the Governing Body
by Terry inthe mouthpiece of jehovah speaks in his name with authority.
the governing body is the only channel of communication with the supreme being.
they identify themselves as the faithful and discreet slave.. if they are faithful, why do they write checks that bounce using jehovah's checking account?

They haven't really written a bad check. Its more like advertising for a bad check. Kind of like Publishers Clearinghouse. People fill out the form and subscribe to magazines because they WANT the check desparately. Even though they know nobody ever REALLY gets the check.
So the Governing Body has to continually advertise the great promise in order to keep getting subscriptions. Who would sign up for all that crap if they said - In another 2000 years armageddom will come and you will be resurrected and live forever in paradise earth. I don't think it would be the sucessful corporation it is without the proximity of the check.

Created to die
by Tashawaa inthe witnesses teach that jehovah created man to "live forever" in a paradise earth.
this was lost to man (i'm not forgetting eve .
so his dying wasn't from eating from the tree of good and bad, it was from not eating from the "tree of life".. adam & eve were not created to live forever.

So, if they would have eaten from the tree of life instead, they would have lived forever and ever and never known the difference between good and evil and would have never worn clothes?? (Okay - There are uses for clothing other than embarrassment - especially for us females.) Women would be able to pop 8 lb babies out of their tiny vaginas - PAINFREE. Man would not be ruler of woman. There would be no damn thorns or weeds in my garden that would easily produce vegetables. And snakes would continue to talk and walk around on their backs.
No wonder I didn't want to read the bible for the last 18 years.
It makes my head swim!
UGH!!!

I think you are really on to something here. My mom is one of the most scrupulous witnesses I have known and she constantly lies to me. She just referred to her not calling or writing for 1 year while she was in Ecuador. Everyone knows she was there for 2 and never called. Just things like that....she KNOWS she is lying and knows that I know it too.
I also admit that upon leaving the borg I was adept at lying. I was never able to admit to my true feelings or thoughts so it was very difficult to learn to live honestly and genuinely. I even had to learn to distinguish how I really felt about things - on my own.
They really do a good job of messing up a persons mental and emotional functioning. Imagine what they would be capable of it they MEANT to F---you up!

I've heard them say that if an apostate says they're happy, its only because Satan is making them happy and keeping them out of the truth!
If an apostate is sad, then its because Jehovah's blessing is removed
Jeez - You're right -- we can't win!!

"Un-baptism" questions please
by alamb inmy eldest child has asked to be baptized next month as a jw.
the court has ordered i have to give written permission if the child is under 18. .
i am going to consent, but only if she studies with me and can answer my baptism questions.

She may be asked the same questions later in life at the door or running into one of "us". I don't want her to ever say, "Why didn't you tell me? or try to show me?" Only then will I support her decision, because it is her decision.
That first sentence may actually work. And I feel your struggle with "why didn't you tell me?" But then if you do - she may shun you as an apostate. I definitely would not allow it for a minor child. I was baptized at 13 and it was a horrible mistake. I had no way of knowing at that young age what all the ramifications of the decision really were. And I definitely did not make the decision will all the information. If someone had bothered to tell me about ALL the failed prophesies I might have thought twice. But in all reality - the decision wasn't about a deep desire to serve God through Jesus Christ as a JW. It was about wanting acceptance, love and approval - something I wasn't getting at home for sure.
Good luck to you and thank you for trying to save your child!!!
Oh yeah....What language did NOAH speak????? Huh??

OR.....Ben is secretly in love with Bill who has a history of having sex with worldy girls, getting into to trouble and repenting. Why on earth would a "normal" grown man chaperone another "normal" grown man?? That's just another crazy example of the extremes to which JW's go. Its crazy - and I hope your friend runs as fast as she can in the opposite direction of this poor confused weak man.
BTW - I was just being funny about Ben & Bill---I'm sure your assessment is right on.

Thank you guys SO much for the hugs and encouraging words!! It means so much because I know you all have been through or are going through it too. Other people who don't know the frustration and pain just have no way of comprehending it. I can barely comprehend it.
I have been praying to be able to write her back and not address the inflamatory things she said to me. I think I am just going to ignore most of everything she said and just show interest in her life and let her know I care about her. It blows my mind that she would tell me not to push for more from her. I can barely stand to interact with her because all she does is insult, judge and guilt me. Why on earth would I want more of that?!?! The ONLY reason I am pursueing anything with her is that I feel spiritually obligated. Ironic isn't it.
