Still, the Criteria for Association of NGOs-at least in their latest version-contain language that we cannot subscribe to. When we realized this, we immediately withdrew our registration.

A wise man or woman once said, tell one lie and you have to tell another and another...ect......

The criteria to be a NGO has never changed. This has been verified by the UN a few times. Second, ya they "immediately withdrew" the very next day following and expose by the Guardian newspaper.

noah's ark

i watched a tv show last night on tlc.

it was talking about noah's ark and all that stuff.

the thing that stuck out in my mind and made me laugh out loud was this....they interviewed many scientist and they all said the same thing, ''there is no natural evidence that a wordly flood ever took place.''.

jula71

BUT I READ AN AWAKE ONE TIME THAT SAID A ELEPHANT WAS FOUND WITH GREEN, THAT'S RIGHT GREEN VEGITATION IN IT'S MOUTH. THAT PROVES THE FLOOD !!!!!!!

But seriously, I saw that show a few weeks ago, what I found interesting is that many cultures have a flood or some other disaster story, many of which are older then than the bible itself. Putting all the animals into boat just is not logical.

Damn.. I hoped it was real. At least no one got raped.

Yeah, but it was still an awsome story!

Ya, bible stories are told and re-told, at least it's a good story to tell. Hell of a lot funnier too.

Why are beards so bad?

by bother_forever in

whats with the idelology behind jws that "bro's" with beards are undeserving of privledge and advacemet in their f**cked up org?

i remember hearing comments like " yes he's a lovely bro, but he'll not be used by the cong because he needs to shave his beard".

Elsewhere makes a pretty good observation. Almost like, if they believe this they'll believe anything and we got'em. Tetra....aren't ties the worst?!?! I even got funny looks for taking my jacket off during a meeting.....even though I'm in the deep south!!

"College, Oh No!" Pts. 1 and 2

hey everyone,

thanks for all your welcomes on that last post.

here is my story in entirety, i put both parts together for those who may not have read the first part.

The brother turned pale, as if he shat his pants on the podium giving a public discourse.

That's a great line!!! Quite a story. First thing I would advise, I speak from experience, get out of your parents house if at all possible. I'm married and out of their house now.......but the pressure and guilt they lay on me is crazy. My next move is out of the city!! And keep doing research, look up everything....explore 607BC v. 586BC, look at the UN/NGO connection, and at the ever changing stand on blood......

Reverse Paranoia

by Farkel in

jehovah's witnesses have a kind of reverse paranoia: they believe everyone else is out there and that satan is out there and satan's minions are out there with only one goal in mind: to make dubs be happy.

it scares the heck out of them and they're afraid someone might actually succeed!

farkel.

jula71

It's funny I just realized that, if you are happy and content, there's something wrong, spiritually with you. But if your miserable and struggling, you have a deeper kind of joy that a non-dub isn't supposed to understand. Pretty funny actually and at the same time sad...

The first time I've been "down" b/c of JWD...

by upside/down in

i've had good and bad days since stumbing onto jwd... and i've learned more in my short time here than in the last 20 years as an "active" and true to the bone...dub.... but today (tonight) i'm really sad... the tone of almost every thread i read has gotten "ugly".... i love "spirited" discussion, but this is different.

it feels like forum anarchy.. is there no yielding anymore...?.

maybe it was just too much happened today... or solar flares or something... i don't know...don't care.... maybe my new found "love" for my country (not the blind patriotic crap) and life coupled with the obvious animosity toward this love by some...well just bums me out.

Brooke....why are you beating around the bush!! Tell us how you really feel!!!

Getting divorced from my husband

by Glofishy in

well, we've been having a lot of problems, and we've decided to get divorced.

i hope some of you can help me understand the teachings regarding this issue.

here's my questions:.

jula71

I also have to agree with U/D. Don't degrade yourself, stay strong. And what Lisa says is correct also. A letter or a phone call will suffice. A family member was going through a divorce, almost the same way. And a letter was sent simply saying, "XXXX is scripturally free." That was enough as far as the elders were concerned.

5. Let's say down the line he manages to get baptized while we are divorced.

But if he is not baptized, I wouldn't even worry about it at all. Just split up.
