Beth Sarim -- it's the gift that keeps on giving. Too bad it's taken this long for the JWs to 'peek' into the demons' screen.
I was looking for your posts reading in middle of night re/Xmas and ole Rutherfraud. Now w/blurry eyes trying every sunscreen on planet earth. I might yell out if I don't find here next few min.😳
i would like to know if ex's and formers who are not church christians, believe that many of jws' doctrines and bible interpretations are correct, or do you feel that they aren't?

Yes -- I think it's spelled Leoleila - obviously more than 3 syllables but that spelling doesn't look right. If I figure out I'll let ya know. I never made/had time to read. As far as I know she stopped posting moons ago, but I miss a lot of posts.
i'm new here and i have perhaps an unusual question.
it's just something that i would like to know from ex's or formers rather than from other jehovah's witnesses.
but i would like to know what your experience and your struggle was for former jws who were gay when they were jws.
IW2K - yes -- all embryos are initially female -- within a short time the weaker embryos transfer to male. Strange when men are the strongest physically and have higher IQs (not saying females are not higher in some -- but generally) per the science. We'll call it old science.😂 We all should be questioning the 'science' these days. Don't remember the chemical/scientific details from psych classes decades ago.
hope everyone on board is happy and well!.
jw's don't know what they are missing.

Happy Thanksgiving Vander & everyone -- such a beautiful time of the year.
hello my friends,.
here are some encouraging scriptures for the day:.
revelation 21:2 i also saw the holy city, new jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from god and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.. hebrews 11:10 for he (abraham) was awaiting the city having real foundations, whose designer and builder is god.. revelation 21:24 and the nations will walk by means of its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.. revelation 22:1 and he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of god and of the lamb 2 down the middle of its main street (of the holy city).
Oh my -- if one needs a theological education from a seminary to read/interpret the Bible that certainly negates the common plowboy (Tyndale version) and fishermen scriptures. I don't have a degree in religious studies nor well versed in the good book but hells, bells. Do recall verses or preaching😛 re/'creator' has hidden it from the wise (in their own eyes -- I like that one) and intellectual ones and revealed it to the unschooled and ordinary. Oh well, guess we with art degrees don't have to worry about this stuff.

YES -- Beth Sarim: "Bless the internet era." I've always said there must be a god -- the internet is the proof. Thank you god, Thor and Al Gore.
