  Anger is a great motivator and can be the catalyst for great change.

  It is ultimately, empty, as it feeds on itself and usually destroys more than it creates.

  Kinda further to what OTWO said, I've heard that for as long as one has been in a "worldview", such is as long as it takes to be free of it.

  Your mileage may vary

  Dragons? What Dragons?

  by AGuest in

  to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!

  to try and perhaps help "calm" some of the rhetoric and propaganda on the board lately regarding what i've posted as to the apperance of spirit being, the following are links to threads/posts that contain some information regarding their appearance and nature.

  for those who haven't read of such before, they are not "men", as in human... nor do they appear as human unless they put on the appearance of an "able-bodied" (vs. disabled) man.

  I saw the movie Dragonslayer in the theatres when it came out. I thought it was awesome and had the coolest looking dragon, even by today's CGI standards.The way it moved and flew looked so realistic considering the model and stop motion technique used to film it

  'course I was a kid at the time and such things intrigued me

  How do I hear/feel God?

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a serious question.. i know people that hear/feel god (and see postings about people's experiences), but i have not experienced this.

  i have never heard anything audibly (or otherwise) nor "felt" anything inwardly.. i've prayed, read, quieted my thoughts, etc...but still nothing..

  Do you miss the sense of security the organisation gives you?

  by Mr Facts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am sure most of you miss the sense of security regarding the future that the organisation offers- the certainty of everlasting life in the paradise earth, being healed and the confidence that you will definitely see your loved ones again if you remained faithful.

  but why did you pursue a course of life that had suddenly turned everything into a fable?.

  i have pity for you all.. .

  How many ex-jws poster here now believe in Hellfire, immortality of soul, trinity, etc;

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am just curious about this because although i agree with many of the posters here that the wt society is guilty of many horrible deeds, i still believe they are right when it comes to doctrinal things as i mention.

  especially hellfire.

  i just don't see how anybody that has studied the bible for many years like many of the ex-jws here can make an about face and go back to believing hellfire.

  OP

  This is all a dream. Everthing you think you know may be incorrect. You may then realize that this never changes

  Then again maybe not.

  As for immortality, everything that has a beginning has an end.
