  Witchcraft - Would you use it?

  by Sirona in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  would you ever use witchcraft?.

  do you think witchcraft is dangerous?.

  do you think witchcraft is just a set of delusions based on ancient superstition?.

  Well there is one in particular I adore (although I know you don’t call yourself a witch honey).

  I suppose I am not an objective bystander given the fact that I have always known that my spiritual path is nature based and could be deemed by some to be pagan; personally I hate the negative connotations people assume when they hear terms such as witchcraft and paganism - they assume that it involves devil (whatever that is) worship and all things dark and satanic and from experience it is far from any of those things.

  Although I refuse to be pigeon holed into being of any particular denomination my path is more Druidic than Wiccan although there are aspects of both which I find complement each other and that are often synonymous.

  With everything there is light and there is dark – there is positive and negative in everything and there are people who practice the craft who simply do not use it to positive effect; this doesn’t mean however that the whole path itself is wrong.

  Just my opinion.

  Will JWs leave the org because of accelerated doctrine change?

  by cultswatter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  looks like the wts is morphing into a totally diferent religion.

  they are trying to get new converts any way they can at the same time they are trying to patch previous doctrine in an attempt to give the illusion of true prophecy.. hey wts, no matter what you do it won't work.

  the 1914 date is pure fiction, so is 1918/19.

  By accelerated doctrine change, do you mean the 1914 and generation doctrine change or have I missed something?

  Life's Short. Get A Divorce

  that's the sign that was put up by divorce lawyer corri fetman in chicago.

  do you agree with that sentiment?

  since life's so short, and you're not happy with your mate, just get a divorce?.

  To be honest, what I find is the most difficult part of my job is dealing with peoples double standards; when you are working with them and getting the results they want; you are the best thing since sliced bread; this however changes when they get your bill. My firm is transparent in their fees and regularly updates the client so that they can budget; they are aware as to who is working on their matter and what the project is likely to cost both during and at the end of the matter. They are in complete control in other words.

  When they get the bill however they then start to have problems; they then question how much time it took to prepare what often are extremely complex documents; they question the fact that you had to research a thorny or tricky point of law and they then assume that they couldve done the work themselves which is just plain ludicrous.

  The fact that you have just saved them from being dismissed and suffering a loss of their often higher salary than mine is irrelevant; the fact that you may have secured substantial damages for losses is also irrelevant, and to be honest it stinks.

  Some lawyers are bottom feeders I agree, but predominantly the good ones are conscientious, dedicated, and get results which is what people pay us for; there are some which use dubious methods of advertising which I disagree with completely but the answer to that is better regulation and more strict standards.

  Aren't You Glad You're Out of the Organization??? Do You Now Have A Life?

  funny though, the only time i really think about the good old days is when i come here.

  when i meet other exjws, quite often they seem consumed by their present situation.

  sometimes i like to go out, have a couple of drinks and enjoy the food.

  Christ Jesus will judge any molestors- and the ones accusing us of this falsehood

  This speaks volumes; Mad has clearly shown that he will be prepared to dispute incontrovertible evidence;he has further shown that he is prepared to side with peodophiles!

  You are extremely young Karl but you are an adult and can make your own judgements; I do think you make a great couple from what I know of you both and I do think that you have every chance of success. Because you are so young though, ensure that you grow together rather than apart - its my only advice, and its from bitter experience that it comes.

  Congratulations to you both - Blessings!

  Ever get spanked for pulling your dress up in the meeting when little?

  by White Dove in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you ever gotten slapped and dragged into the back room for a spanking because your mother or father accused you of pulling your skirt up during the meeting?

  i was thinking of the little girls outgrowing their dresses and them becoming so short that it was hard to sit 2 hours with the skirt pulled down over your knees or just above, at the very least.

  my sister's and my dresses were always too short when we sat down and could only keep them pulled down to a decent length when standing, not sitting.
