What the hell kind of religion did I get involve in.
If the net had been around in my day, no way in
hell would I had become A JW. If there is a organization
that is A tool of the devil, this is it. Wolves coming
as sheepskin.
ok so i decided to just take a quick peek at the dec 15th study edition and i couldn't even get past the very first article!
it's a "personal" story of a jw who was born in 1928 and his experiences from that era.
what is the first thing printed on this page?

This was the beginnig of my doubts , is this really God,s
earthly organization. Serving where the need is great.
One day while visiting A elderly sister she mention how things
were in the old days. She recall when attending the meetings
sitting in the balcony with the other black friends. Say What, in
the balcony (my response). This was around the mid-80,s, this
was news to me. I was A elder and I had never heard of this.
I ask her how did you feel being separated in God,s house.
Wait on Jehovah . Now thinking about it, what would you
expect from the mind set of the leaders when the view was
there is nothing like the loyalty of our colored brothers, yes
one day their skin will be white and we will be able to worship
togather shoulder to shoulder.
sometimes i think of the craziest things.
but i,m so happy.
that i,m sharing my twilight years with the wife i have now and.
Sometimes I think of the craziest things. But I,m so happy
that I,m sharing my twilight years with the wife I have now and
not my first wife, she probably feel the same.
I know of friends, very few that are still married to their
first wife after 40 +yrs. (3 out of maybe 20 all none JW).
I have one friend who in his younger years was A dog,
treated his wife down right disrespectful ( never abusing
her physically) but staying out all nite with other women.
Now in their old age he is catching hell, that,s what he
told me. I told him that,s what you get, you were A dog.
my son sent me this from yahoo, posted 3yrs.
ago.. the person stated "i don,t want any of my children to.
be punished by god".. the best answer.. do not educate them, or expose them to critical thinking, logic.
I guess you are right, it could go both ways.

The best answer.
Do not educate them, or expose them to critical thinking, logic
science. Lie to them constantly about how the world works.
Feed them a steady diet of mumbo jumbo dressed up like real
knowledge- the jumbo jet in the whirlwind for example- and
pretend that it is deep wisdom.
Make them loathe their own natural bodies and functions.
Convince them they are small and weak and worthless and
need redemption. Tell them everything enjoyable is grievously
wrong to even think about, and that their only fun should be
grovelling to an invisible friend.
Ensure that they resent anyone who is not like them in every
way-skin color, nationality, political opinion but especially
creed. Make such people out to be evil and vile and give them-
impotent minorities all-the fictional power to somehow oppress
and persecute the vast majority who do think like you.
Teach them to laugh at and dismiss out of hand any faith
but their own. Early-early mind you-make sure they are they
are taught the difference between superstitious dealy error-
that one raving lunatic in the desert told the truth about
a vicious God who killed people, and divine eternal truth-
that another raving lunatic in the desert told the truth
about vicious God who killed pople.
Instruct them with all severity and import to never question
for themselves-but to seek answers only in one-just one-
particular set of semi-literate bronze folk tales.
Above all- and this cannot be overemphasized- make
sure they cannot spell, use correst grammer, or
understand basic English words.
That should do the trick.
correct me if i,am wrong, but the crossing of the red.
sea was done in one night.
exodus 14;21 god drove.
Aussie oz, A little help with some figures and Bella 15,
some help with Exodus story compared to my thinking
in what took place. First of all I do not beleive it took
place, why because the biblical story do not add up.
OK, first of all, if they cross the red sea or sea of reef
it does not matter which sea they crossed.
We can be certain they cross the sea one time only,
from west to east side of the red sea or sea of reef, agree.
The city of Midian was north west of the the red sea, scholars
believe somewhere in or around Sundan.
When they cross the red sea or sea of reef , what
was the distance to the promise land. And what side
of the red sea (west or east bank) where the tribes located that the Israelites
slaughter on their way too the promise land. My point
is by cross the red sea it take away A considerable amount
of desert roaming.
correct me if i,am wrong, but the crossing of the red.
sea was done in one night.
exodus 14;21 god drove.
I may add, the red sea is 220.6 miles at it
widest point. In Moses day it was wider.
correct me if i,am wrong, but the crossing of the red.

exodus 14;21 god drove.
Correct me if I,am wrong, but the crossing of the red
sea was done in one night. Exodus 14;21 God drove
the sea back by A strong east wind all night. vs24
And in the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire
and cloud looked down upon the host of the Egyptians
vs 25 clogging their chariot wheels, and vs26 Moses
stretch out his hand so the water may come back.
A milliom people, women , children ,many cattle,
both flocks and herds, in one nite. Please
i recently viewed the debutante event of my greatniece.. a beautiful ceremony, of course she was not a jw.. my grand daughters (jws), i think about what would.
be wrong if they participated in such a event.
introduction to society.. .
You think the WT is in A class of it,s own in crushing
the human spirit. I agree to much pride create vanity.
But no pride create, no proper respect for oneself, dignity or
self-respect.

Band on the run; You describe the event perfectly.
As A male I was moved by the event, I was thinking
about my daughters.Yes A big difference then A prom.
I have A dvd of the event and I told my daughter(JW)
to watch it with her 8yr old daughter, just to see what
she think about the event. Iam surprise how many people
have no knowledge of A debutante.
