sent a message to a very good jw friend who must be about 20 now.
here is the message:.
"hiya.
If thats the friend you talked/posted about in the past its the response you should have expected.
A long time ago I realized there is no fraternization with witnesses. My wife after 5 years is finally starting to figure that out.
Not to sound cold (but my name is frosty) JWs are brainwashed and you just dont know when that ticking time bomb of JW conditioning is going to kick in. Live your life enjoy you BF and tell us about some great trips and your learning experience at uni.
challenge me on this.
challenge yourself on this.
can you, personally, handle the truth?.
um yeah?!? have you ever read any of the political threads?
and i am talking about both sides.
the end of the month, that is, and someone apparently needs to get their hours in.... this resourceful jw (in the left side of the photo) set up shop for a few hours outside a local starbucks, with a wt and awake laid out on a table.
and i i don't think he talked to anyone the whole time he was out there (a few hours).. sure beats all that walking from door-to-door, which would likely result in a bunch of not-at-homes on a weekday: most people are at work.. (i approached him when entering, and asked him about the parable of faithful and "discreet" slave, and asked him what he thought the difference was between a parable and prophecy.
after getting a non-answer (that basically meant he didn't know), i wished him a good morning and went on my way.... .
but he doesnt have on a suit coat?!? how can he be a witness of jehovah and not have a suit coat on while witnessing in 90 degree heat?
the watchtower came up with this wacky idea in today's watchtower sun aug 26 par 7 of the study article.. gods great wisdom is made evident.
in his use of humans to write the bible.. words convey not just information but.
also emotions and feelings.
Yeah it really puts a damper on the whole: the sons of god began to notice the daughters of men and have passion for them?!? What would induce an emotionaless being to desire a woman? To further the sexless nature of angels when Jesus was asked about the resurection and whose wife a woman would be he confirmed that the resurected would be as angels and that was it! its like a known fact of the time was an angel was a sexless being and that was the end of that argument.
So HOW can a sexless being WHO IS PERFECT be tempted to the point of lust by the daughters of men?!?
1) mine, newhart show #2 - when "bob" wakes up and and said he had a dream he was running an inn in new hampshire.

also remember the hype for the last episode of seinfield but the show turned out to be meh.
i don't post often, and rarely start topics.
but, i've often wondered why folks feel the need to post their departure from this board.
they're free to leave or fade, etc.
Same reason some need to write a DA letter.

wish it were me but alas $8 was the fortun i gained from this past drawing.
i've been reading around this subject of late and it seems to make a lot of sense.
i'm wondering if anyone is convinced and/or has seen anything that can substantiate or corroborate the 'facts' set out in these arguments.. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bloodlines/russell.htm.
i was particularly fascinated to read the following:.
here is the link i was talking about (on my phone cant make clickable)
