My Story ..A Walk Through The Garden. part 1

by radar in

when jehovahs witnesses first started calling on my wife and i, we knew very little about the bible.

the message that this world with all its wickedness and suffering was soon to end and be replaced by a new order under the rulership of christ jesus was very appealing to me.

to believe that god had a purpose for mankind, gave my life a new direction.. acceptance of watchtower doctrine along with its rules and regulations is expected of any that wish to be baptized.

Thankyou Radar, enjoyed reading your views, very well put. Bring on the rest.

Peace

I think possibly this is why some of us in feeling our lives moving forwards ended up running into a brickwall, (lyrics Pink Floyd, Your just another brick in the wall). We realized our lives were in transformation and our understanding at that time was being expanded upon. But in forcing us into antiquated doctrine and practice, they kind of kidnapped our collective freedom of choice, something which within democratically, the freest country in the world, the USA seems very much out of sync, and then to pass this organisation off as one that protects and upholds freedom of worship, it all stinks of hypocrisy and lies.

Have a good 'un this new year!!

The plants that JW's love to hate

by Mindchild in

jw
friends

most people who have any sustained contact with jehovahs witnesses soon discover that this organization is rather tough on certain types of plants.

it is easy to see that small forests have been sacrificed over the decades to make the multiple millions of publications for the evangelical work or that many plants that are commonly used for personal drug use are condemned, but most people dont know about a few lonely plants growing somewhere in california that really irk the witnesses.

these plants have a very interesting story to tell.

Celtic

Mindchild, cool sharing.

Enjoyed that post.

hello all--new to board; my story

by razorMind in

hello everyone...hope all are having a great holiday season.. ***warning--kind of long***.

i am 31 and have been "out" for an undetermined # of years...probably starting as soon as i moved out of the house at age 23. i just "drifted away".. i was born into the jw faith.

my parents remain devout and "zealous" to this day.

My heart goes out to you. Ummmmmmm, another post that sounded very familiar by experience. Its been incredibly hard work getting this far, being intelligent, knowing that you couldn't appreciate the education system for what it is and sticking out like a sore social thumb at the same time. The emotional distress this causes many. We see ourselves as could have been over there, but were stuck over here, thanks to the Watchtower, nice one guys!!

Good to see you here Razormind, you want to talk art anytime I'm ready to listen big time, you take care, balmpot.

Celtic goes off in 9 directions at the same time looking for the lost thread, and ends up tripping over himself many times over until he's so jumbled up in a laughing heap, he feels as one again, and thats the end of the story.

G'night!!

YOU BLIGHTER!!!! I didn't know you were into permaculture?!! Though I have a feeling I shoulda gathered, ummmmmmmmm.

So, on the principles of permaculture, oh btw first, this garden, is it for personal or commercial growth, the fruit trees etc? And how much of your yield is lost in profits pa due to wildlife nibbling behind your back? Can you give me a figure?

And whatever figure this is, how much is also lost on trying to keep these rodents away in lost time compared to potential profit if the solution could be sourced?

Can you guestimate?

Cheers SprucyBrucy.
