  anyone ever wonder whether IT could be the TRUTH?

  by Cordelia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i cant believe im posting this either!.

  but ive got a huge decision to make wont go thru it all again its on my last thread, and i have decided that i am stopping going to the meetings completly (ive been dfed 7 months and because i didnt want to hurt my family even more i continued going to all the meetings and hid my boyfriend, wno was wonderful about it, put a letter of reinstatement in which they refused but relised by the way i paniked when i thought they might reinstate me that it is not what i want!).

  i love my bf and want to be with him without any secrecy but i also want my family to accept him and still speak to me but i know that will not happen, so i have two choices either get reinstated and then leave (and risk losing mybf) or tell them now i dont want it and stop the meetings altogether before i go insane.. thing is to be free of the meetings and be with my bf, i will lose my family they are all so strong in the 'truth' they will not have any contact with me and my husband is divorcing me so ill lose finacially and my house and have to share time with my daughter, not to mention all my old friends who are wanting me back, and if i stop now all those months of trying to be reinstated will be wasted id be set right back,.

  Do stupid people have more children? What are the implications?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no offense to those with large families (and no compliment to those with small ones), this is a thread speaking of averages and groups, not specific people and families.

  your mileage may vary.

  dealer participation will affect consumer cost.

  Do we imitate Jehovah---think about it

  by TopHat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  something i have thought about mankind in general recently.

  we have love, compassion, creativity, but we also have jealously and revenge in our hearts.

  satan wants to imitate god too.

  Why is the "end of times" prospect attractive...

  by Narkissos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  or, perhaps, why was it attractive to you at some stage of your life?.

  intense suffering might be the right answer in exceptional cases, but hardly for vast numbers (such as most early christians or modern-day cult members).. what then?

  fear of life?

  Is there anthropological evidence proving the Nephilim's existence?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've had this question is my mind for a while now, but has there been any skeletal remains discovered that could prove the existence of the nephilim?.

  there's so many unanswered questions about these giants - first of all, were they really hybrids?.

  secondly, if the demons could materialise and procreate, how do we not know that they gave their children the same reproductive powers?.

  Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!

  by JT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.

  i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.

  as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?

  Six Convincing Lines of Evidence that the WTS was RIGHT

  by jgnat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  true believers meet at armageddon (december 30, 2000)

  i find it oddly satisfying to read old reports of intelligent, scholarly, well-read men who confidently picked the time of the end.

  and were obviously wrong.

  Watchtower methods of subliminal messages

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it isn't necessary to use words to convey a subliminal message.. take for example the use of illustrations (photos) found on page 26 in the february 15, 2001 issue of the watchtower.. the three pictures show witnessing in differenet parts of the earth, namely the east, europe, and africa.. 1. woman in smart asian dress with hat.. 2. man with black clothing replete with beret.. 3. african man with long sari type robe which is light brown in .

  colour, quite smart and clean.. in each picture the witness is dressed in western business clothing whereas the person being witnessed to (the worldly person) is in native dress.. is this another subliminal message?

  native or customary dress marks an individual as wordly?.
