  The Lucipher's Principle.

  by Daunt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have just begun reading this book by howard k. bloom and i have to say that just the first few pages are giving me a totally new way to look at things.

  it's mostly a book about the evolution of human morals and politics and religion but it goes a lot deeper.

  it concretely explains how we came to be who we are, personality wise, within society all using aspects of evolution to rationally explain itself.

  Emotional Tug of War

  by Daunt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the one thing i hate most about the whole idealogy of the jw's is the ransom for your love they like to play on you.

  many times you will find the greatest people you will ever meet being a jw but they will only love you and you can only love them as long as you're current condition or title is a jw.

  i can garrentee you that this is one big reason why a lot of people do not leave.

  The Ressurection Hope.

  by Daunt in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok, i never understood this.

  ok so the jw's believe that we should try to get all the people we can into the force so they can go to the new world.

  but, there was a series of talks about the ressurection about a month ago, saying right after armeggedon we're going to be ressurected and continue living through the thousand year rain where people's scrolls will be wiped clean and satan and his demons won't be able to tempt us anymore.

  Think of the Children.

  by Daunt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've seen a lot of posts lately about children and their sexuality and this subject has always kind of touched me the wrong way, because it was hard for me to get a definitive answer for it.

  the children today hear sexual content many times out of the day.

  i was never specifically worried about this since i am one of these young ones and it hasn't made me a raging ignorant sexual deviant anytime lately but it is something to consider.

  A Good Escape Plan.

  by Daunt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm planning on moving out from my jw parents house in about 7 months.

  i'm trying to start a job and i already have a little money going into it (bout 2500 dollars little) however, mainly i just wanted to really know if this was the best course of action.

  my parents are the usual jw's but i do love them, however, the pressure is just building up from all their jw reasoning and pressure and guilt trips and all that mess.

  The Morality of the Future!

  by Daunt in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've been seriously taking a step back lately and criticizing and analyzing my beliefs, especially during meetings since there's nothing better to do.

  however, every time i do this i can't help but think of the future.

  how do you guys view the general moral bases of the future?

  Going to hell... twice.

  by Daunt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just wanted to start this thread to vent out about how i'm being forced to go to the district assembly convention bullcrap twice all 3 days and to get a little advice on how to get out of it.

  but mainly it would be interesting to know how other people got out of going to the meetings.

  like acting sick, falling down and scraping your knee, different ways you got out of going to it.

  Handling atrocities.

  by Daunt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as we all know one of the main reasons why the org has so much control over its members is because of it's use of fear.

  today a co was doing the usual craptacular talk about "the scene of this world is changing".

  of course talking about different atrocities people of the world (meaning whoevers not a witness does all these things and are not better than them) do.

  Have to think something through, wish I could use some of your advice.

  i'm in a pretty tough pickle at the moment.

  i was on this site before under another username but i haven't been here for a long time.

  i am fully convinced that this religion isn't what it's cracked up to be.
