Deja Vu?
by heart2heart in

2. beliefs
do you ever experience "deja vu" - the feeling of having experienced the exact same moment before?

sometimes this happens to me - usually when it happens i can vaguely remember having a dream about it, and sometimes i can remember exactly what is going to happen next because the dream is so vivid (funny...when i remember the dream, i can remember thinking "this is going to happen...i remember this too..." deja vu of deja vu???).

does anyone know anything about deja vu or have any explanations?

by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
my mother just told me that my brother was told by his elders that because he attended my daughter's wedding, he was not going to be allowed any privileges, including "handling the microphones".

my elder friend that also went to the wedding told me he was being deleted too.

the last circuit assembly i attended..
by candidlynuts in
1. jw
2. friends
still clinging to the hope that the brothers would have some kind of help for people like me.. seeking encouragement etc... the only talk that stood out and that made me totally angry was a talk about forgiveness and how in the new system king david would be resurrected along with the man he had killed so he could have his wife... and how the man that was killed would have to forgive david or would lose his chance at everlasting life.. 1. why would they even speculate on stuff like this .

2. how the heck did that help me or anyone else.

3. if i was the fella i'd be resurrected just to kick king davids ass.. 4.i was infuriated at the comment in the talk " if (was his name uriah?

Freedom Of Choice
by FREE-TO-BE-ME in
1. jw
2. friends
it is something we all have & for some of us.. are finally using = the freedom of choice....so in hindsight if we had the choice to be a witness & learn from it what we did (the good, the bad & the ugly..) or never have been associated as a jw ever which would you choose?

how different would your life have been?

i am new so excuse this question if it has been asked before

The apostle Paul
by vitty in
1. watchtower
2. bible
im not a bible scholar, even though i was in the troof for 20 years, but i really feel the apostle paul has got a lot to answer for.. i mean its because of his letters we have all this turmoil about the blood issue, shunning and judging each other, homosexuality.

he is not slow in saying how righteous he is , how humble he is and telling the christians off for critisizing him (um reminds me of some people).

now the gospels on the other hand are so simple, jesus was humble, told us never to judge a person, he never shunned anyone not even the pharises and ate with sinners (of his religion) and told us we only had two rules .

Thanksgiving request

1. jw
2. experiences
so i suppose i should give a little background here first, since i am not very regular here.

i was in "the truth" for a number of years, my wife with me, progressing nicely and was even a ministerial servant.

however, after a while i just couldn't do it anymore.
