  SMILE Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though its breaking When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow Youll see the sun come shining through for you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near Thats the time you must keep on trying Smile, whats the use of crying? Youll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile Thats the time you must keep on trying Smile, whats the use of crying? Youll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile

  But what if they're right............still the Truth?

  by ScoobySnax in

  1. social
  2. family

  this will probably apply to few here, but to me it'll always be that way.

  it's the what if syndrome maybe, but it's always there.

  i still think that as a core belief system the jw's have it right, even if their delivery isn't always right.

  Scooby: I haven't read all the posts on this thread yet but what do you think of their teaching as your sexuality, homosexuality, is learned instead of innate? Do you believe it was your fault that you have the sexual orientation of being gay? You may have come from a "loving and supportive" congregation but I couldn't help but think if I told anybody in my congregation I was gay (sexually active or not) I would have just as well have been disfellowshipped and judged because of their teachings concerning homosexuality. I can probably go as far as to say if I wasn't gay I probably wouldn't have left at all and I never would have found out a lot of the skeletons in the WTS closet. One thing I know they are not right on is that I or anybody else do have to go through them to get to God and Jesus didn't appoint them over shit!

  Lord of the Flies

  Grapes of Wrath

  Of Mice & Men

  I have to agree on you on these. I dont see how anybody cannot read "The Grapes of Wrath" and not be a changed person after finishing it. John Steinbeck really had a way of making you feel and experience different emotions so much while reading his literature.

  When I was a senior in high school English class we were to do an oral book report but were only suppose to give it in only 5 minutes and no longer. I did mine on William Golding's Lord of the Flies and went over 15 minutes, LOL.

  Where To Go?

  by Sunspot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  where, or what site would i go to that would lead someone to be able to read the hideous wts policy on hiding the pedophiles within the congregations?

  where could they see this "in the wts' own words" so as not to be an "apostate's view", but would clearly show how the wts instructs the jws to avoid bringing in the legal/police aspect and relying on the elders to "take care of matters"?

  i can't seem to find what i'm looking for today.....

  Annie:

  Have you seen the scans of the Flock book that RR had taken and had scanned where there were handwritten notes in the margins? I know somebody here has got a scan of it. I would look for it but Im at work now. Dont know if that will help or not. You might could check on the silentlambs website.

  BTW, I know its been a little while since you had surgery, how is your postoperative course going?

  thirdwitness may be referring to the revelation book to which the UN is described as an 8th king. Is that you were referring to it as a govermental "superior authority"?

  thirdwitness:

  I should have said that the UN is "AN unclean thing" instead of "THE unclean thing"; however anyway you look at it, it is an organization that the WTS has no business touching in any principle. They became ASSOCIATED with an appendage of the UN and that appendage was the UN/DPI. The rank and file witnesses if they did anything remotely similar to that the society did, they would be cut off from among the congregation as many here have seen or have experienced.

  An example would be if a witness were to "marry out of the troof", no elder would marry such a couple much less allow them to get married in a kingdom hall. This happened to my cousin. Her fiance, a Baptist, thought they could get married in a Baptist church. Mind you, my cousin, she done so, would not become a member of the church but would use the preacher's services to satisify the legal requirement of getting married by someone qualified to do so instead of going to the justice of the peace. They quickly told her if she were to do that she would get disfellowshipped.

  This reeks of double standards if you ask me.

  I know you said that religious organizations and governmental organizations are different; we are to avoid Babylon the Great but be in subjection to government and the UN would be categorized as a "government entity" in this case. However the common denominator is that both are considered "unclean" and "lying in the power of the wicked one" so VOLUNTARILY (in contrast to being in subjection to) having anything to do with any of them would be wrong for a witness or the organization(s) that the witnesses use.
