when god created adam and eve and put them in the garden of eden it was then up to them to cultivate and take care of it ,god had no further hand in it .the responsibility rested with adam/eve and their offspring.. the same would be true in the paradise to come ,god gets rid of all of us wicked people ,but then it is up to j.w.~s who are left on this earth to restore such a paradise.?
without god`s intervention.. think of it , this system is gone with all its infrastructure.. 8 million + j.w.`s scattered throughout the earth with.
no communication systems operating .
I don't believe there was ever a "Garden of Eden" with an Adam and Eve, and I don't believe there will ever be a utopian paradise where anybody lives forever, JW or not.
The longer I have been away from the JWs, the more I realize how utterly nonsensical either story is.
i woke up a little after 5 am this morning and looked at the clock and realized i had more time to sleep so i fell right back asleep.
i had this dream that i was letting my girlfriends dog out of her house and the next scene i was at work and i got a phone call.
the room i was in simply had a table and phone it was very bare.
Some people believe that is how people who have died communicate with those still living. Some people believe that dreams are a way for us to communicate our unconscious thoughts to ourselves.
One of my very best friends was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given 3 to 6 months to live. I was sick with the flu at the time, and my doctor advised me to stay away from her until I was completely over it. She passed 9 days after she was diagnosed and I never got to see her before she died. I am one of those persons who never dream or never remember dreams, but the one I had a couple of days after she died was so vivid, I swore it was really happening. We were in the same room in her house that we always sat in, drinking like we always did. We talked for a bit and I apologized to her for not getting to see her before she passed. I gave her the hat I had bought for her in real life, but never got to give her that said FUCK CANCER. This happened over 10 years ago, and I still think about it because it was so vivid. I needed her to say her final goodbyes and have closure and that is exactly what it did for me.
i think trump will be the nominee for the republicans and the democrats... i have no clue.
i hope bernie sanders runs again and wonder if hillary would dare go for a rematch..
We have discussed it and decided that we are willing to give you Trudeau as long as you promise to keep him and never let him come back to Canada.
Consider him 'a gift' and good luck.
I LOVE THIS IDEA!
We'll do an even trade for Trump with the same conditions. No give-back-seys!
i had two episodes of visiting exjw websites:one time around 2007 when i just googled "jehovah´s witnesses" and dared to look at those sites.
i was scared and i promised myself i would never come back to them.
however, that one didn´t really count.the moment that woke me up was this:i got to know that whitney heichel was a jw and murdered by another jw, because i overheard that conversation in a kingdom hall.i looked up the news and in one of the news comments, there was one where an exjw was complaining that they were hijacking her funeral and they were really trying to downplay the fact that her murderer was a jw... and then it said "visit jwfacts.com"... which i did.and the rest... is history.what exactly got you onto an apostate website when you woke up?
Beyond JW
I miss Timothy! RIP!

In 2020, I predict Pence will run for re-election.
As for the Democrats, I think it will be between Kerry, Sanders, and Biden.

i was told that the borg posted this as an ad (psa, perhaps?
) on national tv here in the usa.. any thoughts?.
WTF? I don't even know what to say.
This is not he cult I grew up in.
the jdubs talk about their loved ones or friends leaving jehovah.
how can one leave some one who they never saw, some one who is invisible or some one who never talked to them.. what they mean is they no longer obey the borg so the borg is the same as jehovah.. long live the 8 self licking ice cream popes!!
!.
Line I was always given when I felt the burn of the shun and let them know it ... "Well, YOU were the one that left!"
for ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.
what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?
in western society, you’ll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.

i am not a protester and i hate confrontation, but i have always thought it would be hilarious to set up a kool-aid stand right next to the jw carts and sell purple kool-aid.
i wonder how many would get the joke?.

i heard the crap, smurfs were magical evil creatures.
i saw in the 80s kids parents get talked to because of the kids having one or pjs with smurfs on them but other than the urban meme where did this come from?
was there anything printed about it?
I don't remember anything printed about it, but I do remember it being mentioned at a local assembly. I was a Smurf-loving kid when Smurf Gate happened. There were several "demons attacking JWs" stories floating around at the time, and the Smurfs was just one of them that really some traction.
My mom wouldn't let me watch Smurfs for a while, but, along with Scooby Doo, she finally wavered, as long as I kept it under wraps with our congregation friends. I think we had a lunch box or something with Smurfs on it. I don't think we got rid of it, but we didn't use it anymore.
My other friends in congregation were not so lucky. Several of them were forced to get rid of every trace of Smurf toys in their house. After stories circulated about Smurfs walking in to Kingdom Halls, and one about a Smurf keychain standing up and talking, one little kid in our congregation said his stuffed Smurf toy talked to her (or so the mother said). So, out the Smurf toy went, and the frenzy continued among the JW radicals.
Luckily, the only after-effect from the Smurf-Demons that I still suffer from is my favorite color being blue.
