Saving Lives
by snare&racket ini always believed i was saving lives on the ministry, it's why i took it so seriously.
upon realising i wasted all those years working for a book publishing business, pioneering etc, i felt so hollow.
all those years feeling fulfilled, feeling like i was making a difference.. vacuumed out instantaneously leaving nothing but a feeling of being duped out of the worlds most precious commodity... life years, and to top it all off i had not helped a single soul, quite the opposite.. .

A Question About Genesis 5:1-3
by Voices ini have a couple of questions about this scripture.. .
1)why wasn't cain mentioned as his first son?
i can't justify 'because he was evil' or some other irrelavent reason.

I think they treat cain as dis-inherited and therefore not mentioned in the geneology.

Good question!
Kinda odd that the alleged gospel writers (well 2) took great pains to track Jesus liniage back to adam but that they should just stop there.
Its not like his siblings were heathen seeing as 2 of them authored books of the NT.

Check out the link I posted. IMO cain is used as an abject lesson...whatever that means.
If you read the narrative (and watch the video) there was no reason for god to reject cains offering. Cain was the 1st born and he was the one who decided to take his first fruits and offer them to god than able followed suit offering his flock.

Well, the pdf of the March 2012 WT is hot off the press!
by serenitynow! inand it does not disappoint.
the first century brothers are on the cover, going door to door with what look like leather messenger bags.. the first article is entitled, are all "christians" christian.
and you can tell by the picture that anyone with a beard or goatee is definitely not a real christian.. the next article, remain in my word has this quote that condemns catholics but seems eerily close to what jws believe:.

The latest change in Watchtower vocabulary to catch out the unwary
by slimboyfat ini got a copy of the recent kingdom ministry the other day and it reminded me of something in the book the orwellian world of jehovha's witnesses by heather and garry botting.
it's on the front page of the december issue of the km, they have a heading called "not 'alternative' witnessing" where they explain that the term is no longer considered appropriate and "public" witnessing should be used instead.. in the orwellian world of jehovah's witnesses the bottings discuss the importance of the particular language jws use to set themselves apart from other people.
they redefine common words to give them a particular slant, such as "brother", "sister", "literature" and so on.

Bigmac: 40 plus years back---door knocking was called different words----the "effort"---became "rendezvous for service" ( i kid you not!!)
Bigmac I remember that, than they made a big deal NOT to say rendezvous because that can mean an affair or sexual connotation
Shoulda known back than SMDH!

Need some sage JWN advice
by Simon Morley init has been two years since my family stopped attending and being "active".
my daughter is in her 30's settled and teaching with a masters degree she got post her separation and divorce four years ago from a witness, she is remaried and happy.
we just celebrated our first xmas since joining jw in the early 80's.. my wife now has increasing bouts of extreme anger (that border on violence) directed primarily at me for wasting twenty years of her life and causing my daughter to have periodic problems with flashbacks and anxiety.

FWIW this is a stage your wife is going thru just a matter of how long it last.
I will try and find it but there info on this site that talks about the stages people go thru when leaving a cult they range from fear and anger to finally resolve and acceptance.
