  Philosophy - is it worth the bother?

  by Abaddon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i fully admit to only having dabbled in the waters of philosophy up to now.

  i kept on being put off by the smell... .

  having said that, is there anyone more clued up than me about the subject who can tell me anything that might make me change my mind?.

  What else is there, after your God is dead?
  
  what else is where?
  
  the "being here" of all existing things won't change with or without a god.

  many post their picture as avatar and many posted their picture in picture threads.

  name a few posters that you would recognize if you saw them in person because of their avatar or because they posted their picture on a picture thread.

  don't name those that you already saw in person...

  Other Types of Abuse...

  by RichieRich in

  anyone who regularly reads this site is well aware of the sexual abuse scandals amongst jw congregations worldwide.

  (for those not familiar, visit www.silentlambs.org).

  not to make light of those who were sexually abused, but i think there is an epedimic of other types of abuse in the org.. how many here have been, or know of, someone who was "spanked" regularly and excessively?

  * Were you spanked? yes
  * How Regularly / severly? very often/very hard
  * Did your parent ever "lose control" and truly BEAT you? yes
  * Do you know of others who were worse off? yes
  * How widespread do you feel this problem is? very wide spread, but i think it's getting better.

  WILL MY CHILDREN DIE ??

  by dontnowat2believe in

  i was driving in my brothers car with him about 5 years ago (hes now an elder), we were in the middle of a row when he turned to me and told me that when i die at armageddon that i dont need to worry because he said he will look after my kids, this upset me to the point that i made him stop the car and i got out.

  a friend of mine (who is a jw) i spoke to about it told me that he was just trying to be cruel and then went on to tell me that any children who are a part of a witness family would die at armageddon.

  i would like to know if anyone knows if this true ?

  why don't you simply tell her she's fat? women always directly tell you things when they think something's wrong with you... and it should be enough motivation for her to get herself into the gym.

  Help in Disappearing!!!!!

  my family and i have been away from the meetings for about three years but we still are watched carefully and get the occasional "we miss you" visit.

  we will be moving out of state 1,500 miles away.

  in todays internet age with access to so much info, phone #'s and adresses is it really impossible to truly escape?

  it doesn't take huge huevos/cojones to make a call to the local elders...
  
  if you don't have any personal info online, i doubt they can find out anything anytime soon. even if they would, the new elders usually would give up faster than the old ones.
  
  me thinks.

  ask if (s)he will be baptised in the name of the father, the son and the holy ghost or if there is a different formula. if it is different, ask for biblical backup.
