ok i was just blown away when i heard this today while driving, at first i thought it was the some old same old but then it went on and it seems like it is on a different level.. the subheading is "guard your heart by exercising self-control.
on page 27 par 17 it says "one way a person could wonder into the foolish course of the "young man in want of heart" is by aimlessly flipping though television channels or surfing the internet.
whether intentionally or not, he might chance upon sexually stimulating scenes.
You may intentionally or not chance upon sexually stimulating scenes.
I think that,s the point (intentionally). I remerber the story about Joseph
(Gen.39:7-13. He ran like hell when his master wife tried to seduce him
( a strong will guy). JW,s need to do the same, when they unintentionally
stumble on A sexually stimulating scene, get up from the PC, run like
hell, screaming the devil have enter my home in my PC. Your neighbors
may think you are nuts but what the hell.

Show self control, surfing the net and you may intentionally or not
ok this thought came to me the other day.
i was thinking of the co who told me that he liked to see parents spank their children for not sitting still during the meetings.. i remember how hard it was to sit through two hours when i was four or five years old.
it was like forever.. i was thinking of comparing the hours that we have been alive to how long two hours is for a child.
This was years ago, the Sunday talk at the KH. A elder son around 9 yrs. old
seated on the front row talking with his friends, his father seated in the back.
Saw his son talking, got up walk to the front of the hall and slap the F---k out
of his son. The speaker pause for A min. and continue with the talk.
last nite i was watching the history station (ten commandments) and.
they stated that moses received the commandments on mount sinai.
months after they left egypt or possibly 40yrs into their journey.
Last nite I was watching the history station (ten commandments) and
they stated that Moses received the commandments on Mount Sinai
months after they left Egypt or possibly 40yrs into their journey. If
this is true (according the bible history) two question. When did God
tell Moses that he and others will not step foot into the promise land,
and if it was after Moses received the Big Ten that mean for months
the Israelites and others was free to reach the promise land without
God stopping them, ( we discuss this on another post 220-250 miles
to reach the promise land). Another myth expose.If it was 40yrs.
into their journey then that,s another story.
i ask this in consideration of last week's and this week's congregation bible study which focuses on the responsibilities of christian parents, and husbands.
i also ask this in harmony with itscrap&theyknowit's thread which is a heluva opening post by the way.
i linked it below for those that aren't familiar with it.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/206133/1/why-i-eventually-left.
Interesting topic...I got married A month before shipping out to Viet Nam,
A big mistake, my ex wife convince me to marry her . The night of our
honeymoon was the first time for me (sex), I was 19 and she just turn 18.
Fast forward three years after returing from Nam, one year as A JW and
two kids. Old friend came to town (best friend) have not seen him in 4-5 years.
From out of the blue he begain to apologize, your wife and I had A affair while
you was in Nam, I told him to leave and never call on me again. I call my wife
and told her (visiting her mom) I know what happen with (my best friend)
when I was nam, he told me everything.She immediately came home and tried
to explain. It was devastating. She called the Elders , they came over, remerber
we were new as JWs . The sh--t came out. Not only the affair of first year
marriage, she wasn,t A virgin ( remerber this is 1968) and their was others.
I had never been with A woman. Well we stay togather for 19yrs, we should
have ended the marriage that day. The elders reason, we all did A lot of
terrible things before we learn the truth. It,s funny when I think about it
My mom A very religious person told me when I was teenager, do not
bring A child into this world until you get married, in other words no sex.
Looking back we were too young. I tried making it work, the only reason
we lasted so long it was the JW lifestyle, but it wasn,t love.
this guy must be mad.
please read and take his comments apart.!.
how jehovah's witnesses differ from cultsby john w. scottjohn w. scott.
Brotherdan it,s funny you mention working in A casino. My son in law
works in A casino in Vages (Public relations). But he has been in the
borg all his life and never been appointed as A servant. (40 yrs. old).
Disfellowship 3 times in 40 yrs.
i would assume that some or a good number of us here as normal humans in this society - consider " lawless " actions to include murder , robbery, extortion, rape, child abuse, war , terrorism, etc.
the wt society has their own definition of what's considered " lawless ".
anything that's considered a disfellowshipping offense in the jehovah's witnesses is now considered " lawless ".
Question, The Gov. body members, do they have childrens, how many
are married. Where they abuse as kids,where some of the members
orphans and miss out on a normal family life. They have A problem
A big one. No one that came from A normal happy family, A loving
Father and Mother would in good conscience destroy so many families.
"... deporting the millions of illegal aliens in the united states will cost trillions and will make this country bankrupt; the beginning of slippery slope that eventually will destroy our country the working immigrants is part of the backbone of our country and they have always been and will always be.. i guess, you are blind to the myriad of studies concluding that immigrants benefits our culture and economy.
a study was released by the center for american progress (cap) that establishes that the enforcement-only approach these restrictionist groups ad-nauseam advocate isnt sustainable in the long-term.
the study estimates that a strategy aimed at deporting the nations population of illegal immigrants would cost the government approximately $285 billion over five years.
Hispanic and Latino Americans accounted for almost half (1.4 million)
of the national growth of the (2.9 millions) between July 1, 2005 and
July 1, 2006. Immigrants and their U.S. born descendants are expected
to provide most of the U.S. population gains in the decades ahead.
Whites acounts for 74.8% of which 30.4 millions are white Hispanic
and Latino American- total 229.8 million. Over 300 million is the
population in the U.S. 12% blacks and others...
The furture, Mexico will become the 51 state to join the union.
lady lee I never tought about deaf people, interesting..

world have change their lives and become a productive citizen, how?.
