  Tarot anyone?

  by Brigid in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm going to be in and out a bit today but i'd like your help with something if you're so inclined.

  i have an avid interest in tarot reading (and its subsequent jungian symbolism).

  i'm learning a new technique and spread.

  I got my cards read at halloween:
  
  My costume that year (in part) was 2 deer antlers duct taped to my bike helmet (SO cool);
  
  My card draw said I was a "happy go lucky fool".
  
  I just got a new deck of regular playing cards and LO AND BEHOLD, the JOKER was depicted with DEER ANTLERS!
  
  So I carry it around in my wallet for kicks.

  HELP PLEASE---family emergency

  this is my first time ever participating in any discussion with ex -witnesses ever, and it's long overdue.

  i discovered the real truth about 6 years ago with the aid of websites like this (cannot contain my gratefulness), now i am stepping into your world and it feels right.

  my family runs four generations deep in witness muck,my great-grandmother was the oldest living pioneer in our region for what seemed like forever, three of my great-grandparents were "anointed",my grandfather hobnobbed with the governing body, etc.,etc.

  oh jeez...
  
  The fact that jwfacts wasn't able to convince his/her family and they dont talk anymore makes me want to crawl under a rock... It's all the stuff on jwfacts.com that made me think I can convince dear ol mum.
  
  any success stories on de-converting the fam???

  April 15, WT: Education, personal fulfillment leads to spiritual death

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the 2nd study article, "let your hands be strong", is very pointed to say the least.

  it seems that many dubs are finding personal fulfillment outside the kingdom hall, and this is clearly a sin leading to spiritual death.. i leave blondie to do the full review, just some interesting comments... .

  pg 27, paragraph 11 .

  AND, I know this has been said like a gazillion times by all ya'll, but I don't know ANYONE from my scores of evil worldly friends pursuing higher degrees who is getting a degree to get rich. It's about learning about what you love and figuring out how to reason and not get taken in by PSEUDOSCIENCE and FALSE PROPHECY and LIES.
  
  grrrr
  
  This is why the U of Awake grads cannot figure things out such as bible chronology, misinterpretation of scientific quotes and how to get rid of that pesky cognitive dissonance.
  Well I guess you can get rid of it by turning off the ol noggin...

  S**T!
  Just when my (JW) mom was starting to get a life she'll go to the WT study and hear this and get a conscience attack...
  
  Perhaps I can have a co-conspirator avert her attendance. Little sis saved the day and took her to the coast on the "apostate" WT study.

  bee hives and current and blackberry bushes and BEARS?
  Do you live in Montana?
  
  I'd go ahead and plant the blackberry bushes if it's not too much trouble - nothing is as good for the soul as blackberry picking in the summer :)
  
  I'd love to have a beehive and it actually was my plan but here in Arizona any hive gets taken over by killer bees or killer african bees (I forget what they are actually called- maybe they're south american...)
  Yikes!

  Oh yeah... -that site with the Texas flag on each page- that's a good one -lots of different recipes even ones for cactus fruit (I'm in the Arizona desert) that I want to try.
  
  Blueberry is another strong flavor -never tried to make it though. Blackberry is a weak flavor btw, you can't really taste it (in case you wanted to try it or have acres of blackberry bushes in your yard). Good "filler" I guess!
  
  Mead! mmmm like it but honestly I am sorta afraid to try it cause the winemaking process is such a mess (for me anyway...) with fruit pulp EVERYWHERE, that I can't even imagine what would happen with honey! Also honey's a little expensive- do you need a lot of it?

  ooohh I love making wine- from just one batch (~5 gallons of fruit) you'll have like 15 bottles.
  
  There are lots of great internet sites on making all kinds of fruit wine. My favorite was strawberry because the flavor and smell just blows you away! you can cut it with other cheaper fruit if you want and the strawberry still takes over. Drink it soon to get max flavor but let it go for ~ 6 months for max alcohol ;)
  
  Check outhtose internet sites -they have really easy instructions on how-to. Initial set up costs are moderate but once you are good to go it's really cheap. It is a really fun activity. Just keep everything sterile!
  
  Good Luck!

  I went!
  
  A "sister" "approached me" afterwards and I made up some story that my mom is a witness and I was just there to keep tabs on what the JWs were teaching her.
  
  The great thing was that she started asking me what I disagreed with about the JWs and I ever so tactfully started in with things that they taught that weren't in the bible- AT THE SAME TIME the witlesses behind me were gossiping about some one they knew who was "actually an apostate!" I, undercover apostate extrordinaire, was apostasizing about the cross, 1914, etc right in front of them!!!!!!
  
  I loved it. But afterwards when I went home I wondered if it was really sort of a sorry waste of my time...
  
  Good practice though.

  Awake = College Education, % of brain usage, where are these?

  by drew sagan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've heard that this is somewhere in the magazines, but i have no clue where.

  also, does anybody know where (or even if) the watchtower ever fed off the idea that we only use a fraction of our brains, an idea that has proven to be false?

  i heard so many people talk about this in discussion, but have been unable to locate it in a publication.
