  apostates in Michigan

  by BlackSwan of Memphis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know we have some exjw's on the board that are from michigan.

  but what i'm wondering is if anyone here would remember a story that came out of the brighton, michigan area about 15 - 20 years ago.. apparently a young woman da'ed and then some time later was (if my memory serves me correctly) killed in a car accident.

  i believe her parent's da'ed soon after.

  How up are you on the music and musical artist, hot today?

  as i get older, i understand more the generation gap we always remembered being mentioned with our parents.

  i always thought i was on top of the music scene, as i used to run a music and video store in the late 80's.

  i thought it kept me on a path, that would keep me in the know of what was hot and what was not.

  Elder response to this thread:

  That's just the worldly definition of the word Publisher.

  By reading the Watchtower, we can see that a true publisher would shun this apostate thinking.

  And yes brother, I am touching myself. Hey do you still have those ultrasound pictures laying around?

  If you really want to know if she really likes you, you'll have to send a clear signal yourself that you are interested,

  I've always been told to shun any person or reading material being critical of the org. And I've had many lectures on how apostates are clever and will try to snare you into thinking like them with seemingly innocent questions. I wonder where those apostates learned how to do that?

  Isn't resurection just you dying and leaving behind a really confused clone

  by mkr32208 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  philosophy is becoming more and more interesting to me.

  questions of existence of what makes you, well you!

  i've been mulling this over in my mind for a while, and decided to ask your opinions on it!.

  This is still an unresolved problem in my bible/book study. The resurrection as they describe it sounds like a copy of the person, not the actual person who died.

  I got the giggles like that once when this older guy was commenting but lost his train of thought, -for a few seconds, all we could hear was him breathing!

  Even weeks later, the thought of it would send me into hysterics!

  "Sorry i'm really confused... Isn't this a Jehovahs wittness website? And uhmm... so.. Whats up with the swearing and the such.. "

  If you're talking to me, I'm sorry my words offended your senses. That wasn't my purpose. I guess I could have left the profanity out.

  "Decide what YOU want to do with this woman, and go for it. If you want sex without a relationship, you can do that. Just tell her that you don't want a relationship, but continue kissing, touching, and flirting with her. The stage is already set for this, so why not go for it?"

  Nosferatu, I'm going to test that theory tonight!

  Leaving the meeting early

  by beautifulisfree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why is it that when ever you would leave the meetings any earlier then when they were all done...did you feel like everyone was watching you or even sometimes guilty?

  sometimes, i would leave at 'halftime' (at the second song) either to go to work or just because i was having trouble dealing with the b.s.

  and of course everyone was nosey and would ask my elder dad after the meetings where i went as though i was off to commit some horrible crime.
