"The True Power of Water".... what a book...

by AK - Jeff in

i just finished this fellow's book - "the true power of water".

in it the basic precept of 'hado' is explained and he proves with experimental evidence his theorum of life vibrations to the quality of life.... the below is an introduction on his website; www.hado.com .

i have found this to be facsinating in spite of my 'western' thinking and predudices.

AK-Jeff----

I have read that book as well and I agree with you. I don't care that it may sound naive to some but, I believe that if we all approached everything with a general air of love------we would all be much happier people. Science has brought us great things----I don't dispute this but, when it comes to the human condition, who wants to talk about science?!! There are some things that we just FEEL. That we just KNOW. We have become a civilization full of people who are uncomfortable with feeling. Besides, how could anything that makes us want to be better,happier,healthier be a bad thing?

Why did the JW's Shun my mother at her funeral?

by DaveNwisconsin in

my mom had died on december 9, 2005. she had been loyal to that religion for 35 years.

she had been in a nursing home for the last two years.

some of the old ladies would come and mom would still write a letter to a "not at home" once and awhile.

I'm so sorry about your mom. Whether it's expected or sudden, it's painful regardless.

I think that you absolutely should ask those questions of your mothers so-called friends.

Most JWs aren't even aware that their behaviors are considered bizarre and unfeeling. I still have alot of family 'in' and I use every opportunity to bring those things to their attention. Sadly, I don't think that any of what I say will make any sense to them until they experience that same lack of humanity from their alleged family(JWs).

If you do speak to them, emphasize how UNLOVING their actions seem. Isn't that what we are constantly told as JWs? That the identifying mark of the true religion is love amongst ourselves?

Hugs to you!

Beginning the road out.

by wozadummy in

yes i'm new to this forum and i have been searching the net and reading with interest peoples comments here and on other sites.

as most know reaching out as a faithfull jw to others outside of the congregation is difficult at first ,as i guess we think anyone outside the congregation is wordly etc.

and we can't open up easily to "strangers" as jehovah would not approve.

curlygirl

Welcome to the board!

I'm looking forward to hearing more of your story------let it out! We're all ears!

JWs knock on my door three times in one week

by Sirona in

my husband is off work at the moment recovering from a double hernia operation.

the jws knocked one day and our friend, who was here doing a bit of painting for us, answered the door and simply told them he wasn't the householder.. then at the weekend, early on a saturday morning, they knocked again.

i was in my nightclothes and had only just gotten up, or i would have answered.

curlygirl

There are NO accidents in witness land.

They are looking for something. If I were you, I would avoid answering your door for awhile. Remember, in their eyes, agreeing to meet with them is the same as saying to them that you consider yourself a part of the organization and all of the disciplinary bs that goes along with it.

How Many Of You?

by justsomedude in

jw
friends

how many of you, when you were an active and zealous jw (assuming you were), were motivated by the paradise idea?

i was basically born in, so i wasn't drawn to the religion, it just was.. the whole idea of the paradise never really exicted me though.

i followed the religion and did what i did because i just believed it was the right thing to do and not so i could obtain the carrot on the end of the string.. how many of you felt the same way?

curlygirl

When I was a kid, what appealed to me was the idea that all of our fruits and veggies would be super sized. I'm not exactly sure where I heard that. I remember there being talk of peaches and plums being the size of grapefruits or grapes being the size of plums.

Of course it would revolve around food for me!
