  Why is truth is so hard to find in Bible

  by The Dragon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been studing it for years looking for answers....yet for every answer i find there is a counter to it.

  the words themselves are twisted by leaders/teachers to fit their personal opinions and adgendas, as well as twisted by trying to rely on our own reasoning to understand them.. a good example would be the way our current system of laws work.. if the supreme court writes a law into the book..say for example.."evil" is anyone who does this....... it is then turned over to a bunch of undereducated enforcers to interpert and judge others they feel are "evil".

  they are allowed to accuse and shoot first asking questions later.

  However, recently during study God "spoke" my new name to me he has given me in heaven. It brought me to tears because God's name for me means the exact opposite of the opinion that my Jehovah's Witness father has of me. I did not want to know the name and resisted it. But, it welled up in me like a bubble and when it gently burst their was God's new name for me. I cried like I never cried before.

  Dude, with all due respect, this just sounds completely and utterly whacko. Surely you dont think the JWs sound any more "far out" than this?

  Jehovah's Witnesses and beards

  by Dave_T in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a jw, i don't remember having read in the watchtower literature a rule explicitely forbidding to be bearded.

  the pictures depicting "faithful witnesses" of the past (abraham, job,, moses, the apostles, etc.

  ) always show bearded men.

  Many of Rutherfords old books depicted all the male biblical characters, including Jesus, as beardless. Some suggest this was Rutherfords attempts

  to purge all vestiges of "Russell" , who had a beard as long as Santa Claus, from the organization.

  Great qoutes from JuDgE for A day RuThErFoRd

  by Scorpion in

  1. social
  2. humour

  "the size of the nose, as also the size of the eyes, is not without significance.

  the small-nosed man cannot have a judicial mind, whatever his other excellencies may be.

  and a man whose nose upturns can no more be expected to administer justice than a pug dog can be expected to act as a shepherd.".

  "Air baths are good for preventing colds. What you do is strip naked mornings and evenings and then bob up and down for awhile."
  GA 2/10/1926 p.310

  This visual of Rutherford performing an "air bath" will give me nightmares for months....

  Help With Insomnia

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i frequently have insomnia - but have found some help in getting back to sleep.. first, stop talking to yourself in your head!

  if you get up to go to the bathroom, don't allow any internal dialog.. second, try doing the "wave".

  you pretend that a gentle wave is moving your body in bed.

  Another possible solution would be to read through that "four Kings" thread paying close attention to the discrete slave theology by Estephan... Not a good idea, you would be running to the toilet with diarrhea, and it would hard to ignore those "internal voices".....LOL

  How can he get away with it?

  Simple. He's probably giving Brooklyn money up the wazoo. Most "celebrity" JWs get away with murder: The Williams sisters, Spillane, the Jacksons, etc. My guess would be they are donating TONS of money to Brooklyn and "buying" their way into Jehoobie's paradise.

  Another dirty little scientific secret is that nicotine is a mild antidepressent.

  Uh-huh. So is ice cream, but it doesnt give you cancer, turn your face into a catcher's mitt, cause learning

  and behavioural disorders in children or make you smell like a rotting corpse.

  But hey, to each their own!

  "I wonder if it has anything to do with the liver's ability to filter out toxins and competing toxins?"

  Certainly a possibility, since nicotine metabolites like COMT are processed slower than etoh by-products. I think its more likely a pharmacokinetic interaction between

  nicotines stimulant effects on fast acting ionotropic acetylcholine receptors, versus the much slower effects of alcohol on GABAergic metabotropic receptors, where etoh

  only serves as an indirect agonist, rather than a direct, competitive agonist at the receptor complex, like nicotine.

  "I backpack with him, camp with him, fish, work an outside job, keep the house, run the errands, make all meals, make his lunch and coffee, go to school etc and I am still considered very good looking."

  Sounds like you are making all the sacrifices, but at the same time, from what he seems to enjoy, he does'nt sound like the "candle light and romantic dinner" kind of guy. I'm sure he appreciates you, but is really lousy at showing it, in part due to a JW upbringing.

  I think you should spice things up a bit. And use positive reinforcement. We men are VERY simple animals. Give us a treat after we perform a trick and we will very likely perform the trick again! LOL. Make reservations at a romantic restaurant and if he gives you an anniversary gift, reward him with some hot sex. If he does'nt come through with at least some kind of symbolic act for the anniversary (at the very least some flowers and a nice and thoughtful card), he doesnt get the "reward". Simple as that! LOL
