  its been long enough... get over it

  I have heard of the elders saying this to more than a few grieving people and it enrages me every time. How dare they!?!

  My heart goes out to you.

  has anyone read this book?

  looks interesting.book description.

  ever since american prisoners of war in korea suddenly switched sides to the communist cause, the concept of brainwashing has continued to fascinate and confuse.

  "Reasonable Service!"

  by Atlantis in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  are the righteous requirements the lord expects "reasonable?

  not according to the watchtower!

  this is just another example of how the watchtower deceives members into believing that what "they" expect of jws is actually what the lord expects.

  Reasonable service...hmmm..."Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die." Sounds about right.

  dear JSMOLLEN, this is not a JW dating service.....

  dear brother blue-balls,.

  while i fully appreciate your dilemna as an upstanding, spiritual yet horny young jehoobie's witness, please stop digging up 5 year old threads posted by long since gone.

  "sisters" looking for their ideal elder-to-be-husbands....i assure you, these lovely young women have long ago married the ministerial window washer of their dreams and have.

  THIS ISN'T A JW DATING SERVICE?!?!?!?!

  Oh, thank goodness. I was afraid I just really unlucky or really unattractive to the spiritual brothers here. Haven't been able to get a date for the Memorial of Christ's Rejection or anything.

  What a relief. Thanks for setting me straight, kid.

  As Ex JWs are we "All or Nothing"?

  by Sirona in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as ex jehovahs witnesses, do you think we apply the "all or nothing" rule to non-jw things?

  do you remember the scriptures cited in revelation regarding being "luke-warm" and being "spewed out of"..jehovahs mouth?

  i realised recently that i do actually view things as "all or nothing".

  And there it is, all filled in...just like magic.

  Hmmm...I'm not sure. All or nothing in some areas, I suppose. Not so much in others.

  Is a blank post "All or Nothing"? Could be all. Could be nothing. Could be both....Most profound

  I will wait for elaboration before responding to the title question, however.

  Hi, Sirona!

  Welcome AnneshirleySo happy to have you here. I don't imagine you'll be able to
  keep silent for too long...not with a name like that

  "Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad
  to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about
  everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?"

  When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I
  could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around
  the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does. It has a fascination of its own, that bend, Marilla."

  "Marilla, isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?"
