Our deepest fear

by wanderlustguy in

jw

"our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

it is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most.

thank you!!!!!!! when i moved into my apt (first time w/o room mates!) i put up a green striped card that i had just found a week before that qoutes the first two sentances. i never heard the rest in anysort of context.

Did you ever feel the JW "holy spirit"

by Smiles in

.

were there ever times when you were sure you could feel or see "jehovah's holy spirit" operating?.

m. kirov

I do know that I didn't feel it when my old man slammed his fist on the table and said "Goddammnit! I can't do this!" during the opening prayer for a family study (of the Family book-remember that joy??!!!).

ok, I'm sorry...yes, i believe I have felt it, but i believe it had much more to do with where my head and heart were.

calling all worshipers...

by m. kirov in

even when i still believed that you had to be a jw to be a true christian (*gag*), i did not believe that the meetings (or the door-to-door crapola, for that matter) were the only way or place to worship.

since i received real light, i actually enjoy reading the bible!

i'm wondering how many different definitions or explainations of worship i can find here.

Fluff Alert!

so i was doing my paper route today and i was admiring all the different colored glazing balls that people have in their yards.

i like gazing balls and i plan to get one for my yard.

but i wonder, what is the point of a gazing ball?

m. kirov

I like the wooden chimes (if you can call them chimes), but the sound of the metal "ting, bing" drives me nuts!

But what about those PESKY DEMONS?!?! Do what I did! I hired a midget to dress up like a monster and stand on my porch shouting "JEHOVAH, JEHOVAH, JEHOVAH". As I've had no problems with demons, it appears to be working.

BLOOD --giving or taking

by m. kirov in

jw
friends

so now that you've left the cult, have you ever given or taken blood?

have your opinions and/ or beliefs in this area changed?

much to my suprise, one of my very good freinds who is not out still feels the way he was trained to feel.

m. kirov

I know a few JW's that think that's cannibalism! My dad's uncle and the PO of my former cong. helped me to see that one should take in consideration that blood transfusions might be needed in such a surgery. Would you really want it on your conscience if the receipient needed blood?? Well, Would you?

I suppose you'd also want to make sure they aren't gay (unless they are also a pedophlie elder) before you gave away a kidney.

Personally, if you need my blood you can have it and I've been on the donor list since I got my first ID.
