thank you.
8 years!?!?!?! isn't that child abuse? if you can't even legally be left alone in the house, how the f*@$ can you make vows to dedicate your life to God? Good luck Mom and Pop when the tightly wound coil springs! I hope you are putting aside equal amounts of money for the psych ward and rehab.
oh, wait...the end is coming by nightfall-nevermind.
i am always a little pi***d when i see jw illustrations showing lions and tigers in the close vacinity of samll children, lambs and other meaty treats with no safety barriers.
[why this is paradise is beyound me - these anaimals smell].. so if we assume an intelligent creator, why would he create large meat eating preditors if he really ment them to eat grass?
every thing about their make up is about specialistation, from teeth, to jaws, to how their stomachs work.
I've never noticed a single animal to follow God's Word the Bible. In fact, in the course of my short life I've seen animals that fornicate and/ or display homosexual behaviour. Come to think of it, I don't think they put in much time out in service.
...I don't think they'll be making it to the New Order.
that's on their website....do you believe this?
check out www.watchtower.observer.org - John Spencer and Jerry Berman, Ph.D. write about studies showing that there is a higher rate of mental illness within the Witness tribe. One Aulstralian study shows that "followers of the sect are 3 times more likely to suffer from schizophernia...than the rest of the population at risk."
and a side bar- 4 out of approximetly 20 members of my Narcotics Anonymous group are ex-JW's!!!
what type of person are you?
are you outgoing, charming, sweet, thoughtful, humorous?

nicolaou, you're awesome

always searching, believes negitivity is usually unacceptable (in her own life), tries hard not to judge others (a very difficult ongoing proccess), loves the Heavenly Father (not the Jehovah that the Witnesses hurled at me), wants to be vegan again, tries to find "things of beauty" everywere, holds spirituality in higher regard than theocracy, scatterbrained and spread-out, has too many interests- jack of all trades, master of none, lousy housekeeper, recovering drug addict,
trying
and not done
I still don't get why so many news orgs won't touch the jw/ silentlamb child abuse epedemic. ....there must be some reason
you silly, silly girl! Don't you know Jehovah protects his visible organization from such things? make no mistake the day will come when millions find out- Brothers and Sitsers, put on your full suit of armour--the day of persecution is comming. JWs will be put to the test. Stand firm in the truth, knowing that his name will be vindicated.
oh, great, now I have to clean the "sic" off of my desk.
.
this always seems to be one of those questions i've asked before but which never quite gets answered by jws.
do you believe that jws need a mediator beteen god and men?
say it with me...."Jesus"
Not a bunch of punks at the Golden Calf Factory in NY. Is that much different than praying to Mary or the Baby Jesus? Catholics consider them mediators.
I am no longer a JW (weeeee! Jesus gets to be my mediator now) so maybe you don't want my answer.
I don't beleive in Santa Claus, a Greater Moses or the Faithful and Disapionting Slave.
do what you can to get your friend out NOW

if you had faith in Jehovah's spirit directed organization, you would know that the light will be back on...in his time not ours...in fact, this is one of Satan's snares...so in the mean time, allow us to comfort and cunfuse you with our interpolated doctrine based off of the scripures-the ones we translated lovingly for your benefit
but i like the comment from garybuss!!!! very good
are there any principles of the faith that you have kept... do you try to maintian a high moral standard?
did your views on abortion change?
would you go to war?
xjwms -- Well, no one has to have values. I just wonder what "apostates" believe in. I would find it hard to believe that once people leave a Christian cult they lose all sense of values/ virtue/ ethics. Unless, of course, it's too hard living in a "spirtual no-man's land" to keep from turning into a horrible person (an elder used that phrase when he and my older sister came over to my apt. because it turned out my then husband and I were using drugs---it was decided that since I didn't tell anyone I was a practicing Witness I would not have to be disfellowshipped, which is so unheard of!!)
it's turning out that many apostates work a better Golden Rule than the multitudes of JWs
NO! Do any of you say "bless you" after someone sneezes?
I think the custom should be to say "bless you" only after a fart.
