Was Jesus a Jew OR actually a Hebrew

The imperfection is in the genes of males.. not of females... O... females ARE off course imperfect but they do not pass it over. The imperfection is within the seed of males.

Biblical imperfection aside, defective or disruptive genes can be passed on from males and females to their offspring. It is not something that is a singular male function. I can look this up but I don't want to cut and paste right now. I'm sure there are others on this board who have information at the ready to confirm. I hope.

I think I've planted a seed!

i could be wrong, but i can't help but be a bit optimistic.last night my parents and i had our "family worship night".

i hate it, and i believe my mother does too.

my dad only does it because he's an elder but last night even he was acting like he didnt want to do it.

mrsjones5

Wow! You did good.

Does being a "born in" blur parental vs JW issues?

by obfuscatetheobvious in

thank you to the many people who have posted their experiences and advice on this site!

i have browsed a few topics but the threads that i seem to gravitate to the most deal with family.

there is certainly a lot that i can relate to in many of the anecdotes i have read.

My husband doesn't speak to his mother. She abused him terribly when he was a child (he was beaten with fan belts, billy clubs, or anything else she could get her hands. She tried to kill him twice before he left home at 15). He tried to forgive her but she's a mean old bitch. Neither my hubby or his mother were ever jws.

bad parents aren't limited to the bOrg

My mother makes things up to make herself look better to her jw friends.

I so love being gossiped about by my own mother.

We bristle, and sometimes clash because (I think) she feels I should simply obey her absolutely just because she's my mother.

You must know my mother. We clash over the same. She doesn't win anymore. She hates that.

I think jwism could be a hamper on developing good parenting skills for some. Not all jw parents are bad but being in the bOrg certainly doesn't help the ones who are.

The watchtower is making some dangerous enemies

by 20yearfader in

this weekend i spent time with a friend that i haven't seen since high school,that would be 22 years.he grew up the same way i did being a born in.he and i both received our share of beatings related to the wt org coming to the hall without a song book not getting a comment low hours in field service etc....where we differ is the fact that his stepdad was beating him with his fist i got the belt or a stick.he would come to school with black eyes due to his infractions with the hall.after we left schoo we lost touch since he was still living at home an going to the meetings and i wasn't, kicked out at 17 so that ending my time with the org.he stayed at home until 21 still getting his fair share of beatings due to any sort of failing that had to do with the org.he left after one beating and joined the marines,he was dfed.while in the marines he told me he asked an got sniper training becoming a deadly shot,he also told me he always volunteered for the most dangerous missions.i can see that he was doing this to escape the pain of his upbringing even to his subconscious mind secrectly hoping to die on one of these missions.he tells me he has some sort of nerve disability that will progress until he cant walk,he has hearing loss due to a grenade going off by his head'he knows one day he will be in a wheelchair disabled it's only a matter of time.he hasn't spoke to his mother and his family in over 20 years they care nothing about him not even returning the calls he leaves on there answering machine,he told me he calls once a month for the past 20 years.sitting here at my house he says out of the clear blue you know i've thought a lot about going to brooklyn and with the skills i have i could do a lot of damage to those men that have ruined my life.i talked him out of it i think,i told him about this site where he could come to vent,because i think he needs to vent badly.i don't know what will happen to him when he is told his quality of life will get worse and if he will revisit the idea of lashing out at what he thinks has ruin his life,i don't know what he will do and even though i think i talked him out of doing anything,can i really say i blame him.i'm in the same boat my family is fractured broken all because of some men,men in brooklyn that hold more control over my family than i can,i wonder do thay ever think about the countless people that they affect with there shunning methods how many broken families they leave in there wake.i will say one thing there are many others out there that think the way my friend does i feel it's only a matter of time before karma comes a knocking..
