  Hey Hibiscusfire!

  I have never experienced a miracle myself so I have to say no. I wouldn't call a recovery 'miraculous' unless there was no medical personnel or treatment involved. It may be a 'surprise' that a patient recovered WITH medical treatment, but I hardly call that a miracle.

  Sometimes things happen for a reason can you explain why?

  This phrase and it's close cousin "everything happens for a reason" are real cop outs to me. Especially when Christians use this as salve to cover the pain of tragic events. You see hib, people attribute both good and bad to God. But I can't believe that God would kill a child just to take them to heaven. I don't believe either that God would protect 1 passenger but let 299 others die. If one cannot explain 'why' things happen then the wise answer is 'I don't know'. Then if you want to find out seek the answer for yourself.

  I know that you won't agree with my response so let me kill the back and forth banter before it starts: You and I will not agree on this topic. That doesn't mean that I am not interested in reading your point of view and others. I don't see any need to argue and name call on a discussion board. I don't treat people that way in person and I won't allow the anonymity of the internet to change my nature. I do have strong opinions on some things ... but like my grandmother used to say - an opionion is like an a**hole, everybody has one .

  If you wouldn't mind answering this question, I would like to know why you come here to preach to people that are trying to recover from being in a cult. I know that some have a new spiritual outlook, but the attempts at proselytyzing on a board with a bunch of non-believers reminds me of my former cult days. I would feel sad and rejected when my message was rebuffed and I genuninely felt sorry for the person rejecting it. Do you do that too?

  for someone who was raised in the "truth" for 17 years it was a very hard and a very scary decision when my father finnally had the "you must choose a side of the fence" speech and when i chose not to do it anymore he flipped his lid and i so "tormented" by my decsion i latched on to "maryjane" to fill the "need".

  after living with my parents for two years and then on my own for two more years crying everynoght cause i was alone not knowing way i felt this way this way, i felt a spirtual need at 3:30am i drove to my dads house and beged him to let me came home because the "voices" were drivin me crazy and i needed "guidance" he said well get you a meeting with elders and a "bible study".

  so i move back in, had a talk with the elders where they used the bible to call me stupid and i went to there meeting where they used what i said in private and made a whole new talk based around it i broke down crying and prayed to god for the guidacne to make me strong and make the tears stop and the holy spirt led me to this site i moved in with my brother and told my parents i can know longer belive the "truth".

  Welcome to the forum hurt dave ((((((((((((((((((((((( HUGS ))))))))))))))))))))))))))

  The cruelty of some of the people in that organization never ceases to amaze me. They have no idea how to 'shepherd' anyone. I'm glad you're here. This site has helped me a lot and I'm sure it will do the same for you. Just having someone to talk to who UNDERDTANDS where you've been and how it affects you is a huge benifit. You are among true friends.

  What funny "Saying" do you sometimes use?

  by JH in

  2. friends

  here in quebec, one funny expression people say is "donne a manger a un cochon, et il viendra chier sur ton perron" .

  word for word in english this would mean: feed a pig, and he will shit on your porch.

  in other words, sometimes you try to be nice to people, and they don't always try to be nice to you in return.. .

  I feel your pain. My ex-dubsman basically shuns all four of our children because I'm dfd. It's a horrible thing for them to have to live through. He has no idea how much his behaviour is hurting them .

  allow ones to continue to seek information from a welcoming board!!!!

  We're glad you're here peggy ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( WELCOME ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

  I wish I had found this site a long time ago. Just understand that not everyone who comes here is as open minded as you are. Sometimes they will not accept the truths that they find here on this site but come here anyway to invoke arguments or to mislead those like yourself into believing the spin that the GB puts on UN membership, FDS, failed prophs., flip flops etc.

  I hope you stay around a while

  Worse than death?

  by 5thGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one society thing that drives me crazy is trying to scare us by quoting the scripture about one who knows the truth and leaves is worse off than others who have never known the truth.. question: if every non-jw is going to die at armageddon, how can someone who leaves be worse off?

  are they going to die more than the others?.

  nice lips brooke
