I asked that question when I was fading. I was told that the imperfect world had caused them to become like that. So I said, you mean they evolved? The discussion ended at that point.

mosquitos, and vampire bats.
by brandnew insince everything in life is supposed to be created by god, why did he create mosquitos, and vampire bats?.
mosquitos and vpbats live by taking in blood from other animals, and well humans too.
so my question is.....why would he forbid blood transfusions , when he made creatures who live off of others blood?

JWs, Rules, Laws and the Zone Meeting
by TheListener inmy takeaway from the zone visit and the reaction of some dubs i know and some i've read on here is this:.
dubs don't care what their actual religious beliefs are or how they change but they do seem to care a lot about having any specific counsel discussed from the platform.. .
i guess this makes them a lot like everyone else, and maybe now we know what the wts achilles heel may be.. .

Good point Julia. How often does 1914 actually come up? Could it be now that jw.org is the new marketing thing that more people are finding alternative sites and starting to ask about 1914?
Really, that date is so old. If my kids and their friends are any kind of example then 1914 might as well be 1514 or 1614.

Are a lot of dubs questioning 1914? Or maybe the society sees the lack of urgency that's been going on for years. Whatever it is this seems like overkill.

FuGK This Religion- Stop Ruining My Life!!!
by wallievase ini am sorry for the title but today just took the cake.
after not going to the meetings since august and trying to sort through this with my family, my wife today told me she wants to separate because of our differences over being a witness or not.. this is ridiculous.
so i said- how can you separate from me when the religion you whole heartedly believe says you can only separate for 3 reasons- abuse, willful non-support, or stopping her from her meeting attendance, etc.

Hang in there Wallievase. I wish I could give you the magic answer that would solve your problem but I can't. I can't even seem to solve mine. But posting here, sharing and listening have helped me a lot. Hopefully it will help you too.

Roll call of those of us stuck in for our spouse or whos spouse is still in!
by BU2B ini just wanted to get a feel for how many here have awakened to ttatt but are still carrying on some jw activities to pacify them and keep the peace.
also trying to hear from those who have left, but whose spouse has stayed in the wt and in the marriage.. for me it comes down to my own mental anguish.
i am mentally tortured by attending the meetings, yet i feel compelled to because my wife would kill me with her personality if i had her drag 2 small girls by herself there.

I like this thread because it reminds me i am not alone in this. I know my wife is miserable being a witness but she knows that if she hangs in there the new system will come and it will all be worth it.
Meanwhile me and the kids live life to the full and don't discuss mom's religion if we can help it.
I would love to have my wife free of the dubs but I gave up on that a long time ago.

Is This ALL the Society Meant By Big Stuff Coming?
by millie210 inok, internet tv, some new songs and updates on a couple obscure prophecies no one cares about.... .
i for one was so disappointed at the smallness of it.
i guess i bought the hype that when they said "big", they meant it.. .

New JW... One Can Only Dream
by Gustv Cintrn inhere are a few of my wishful thoughts that, if came true, would make me enjoy my religion even more:.
no more end of month time reporting.. delete one of the 1-day circuit assemblies.
may replace with a 'special meeting', such as the one we had last year.. eliminate friday from the big convention.. no more international conventions!

What about actually teaching what the bible says instead of what they would like it to say?

I miss Leolaia so much. Her posts and research were really instrumental in helping me free my mind. The few times we corresponded personally were so meaningful to me. Like most of who post here, when I was leaving I didn't know what to do, where to go or how to think. Leolaia helped me a lot.
