Yesterday, stumbled upon this contradictory gem
Great find!
was reading a poster's experience with custody, and the info in wts child custody packet.. children are prepped to present themselves as normal, with school friendships, hobbies, activities, etc.
and not to mention that their life-goal is to pioneer.. the school brochure (1983) contains this gem:.
"they [witness families] also travel several times each year to attend larger gatherings called circuit assemblies and district conventions.
Yesterday, stumbled upon this contradictory gem
Great find!
(before you read i hope no one gets offended by the word retarted...that s how i thought when i was 13)my mom and dad are divorced and my father never helped my mother on raising us, so basically she was a single-mother.
he just abandoned my three brothers and me and my mother had to work two jobs all of the time so we never got to see her.
when we did see her it was after school, but all she did was yell at us, make food, and leave to her next job.
Any books or links I should check out
I would recommend Richard Dawkins' books, which explain why evolution is true. Maybe start with that.
how do you wake up someone taken from us by these screwed up people?.
our son was hooked by a jw at the age of 25. within 3 months they were married and we never even new about it.
he is now 29 and has nothing to do with his family(except his sister the odd time, when he needs something) of any freinds.. we are lost and have been for four years.. .

hearts aren't even really "heart shaped"--it's just a pagan symbol and everyone wrongly believes they're shaped that way.any questions?

Using hallucinogens and then hallucinating, even if you believed you were no longer high at the time, is not remarkable.
Occam's razor is a good method to find the truth.

If you still believe God is the most reasonable explanation for your hallucination, after considering all we've posted, then it will be apparent you have already decided what you want to believe. *shrug*
does a parable have a fulfillment?
lol, i thought only prophesy had fulfillment.
march 15 2015 wt.. after the previous articles and questions from the readers, where the writers try to explain that .
Fulfilling a parable. I wonder how stupid it can get.
Maybe next they will start interpreting the patterns the toothpaste makes when you spit it in the sink after brushing. The number of tiny bubbles will fulfill a prophecy.

It's impossible to grow up in a community with xians and not have any idea what xians believe, unless you grew up in a cave without human contact.
You wanted to hallucinate and you did. Hallucinations don't "mean" anything.
jws will tell you this--Jehovah does not speak to any humans in modern times, he does not send anyone messages, and he certainly does not bless people with special knowledge when high (which they believe is a sin and defilement of the body, offensive to God).
It does sound like you've already decided to believe whatever you want. By posting this story here, are you hoping to convince us?

our family just lost someone dear and very close, a faithful jw.
as we went through the entire funeral services and meeting long time brothers and sisters, who in general have been very kind and warm towards us, we realize that the hope of resurrection is a meaningless utopia for us, like a fairytale for little children.
we don't have faith in it anymore, and serves us of no comfort.
