I am 'no longer 1of JW's', and damn it feels good. Plus my letter to bethel

by jwfacts in

for anyone facing my situation i recommend not being scared.

it is not money i am after, what it would be good to achieve is make the wts so scared of publically announcing anyone that they end up changing their d/f policy.. this is what happened.

What MUST Jw's believe that they don't KNOW they believe?

by AlmostAtheist in

jw
friends

i'm looking for beliefs of jw's that have the consequence of also requiring some other belief that they may not like or be able to explain.. for instance, you probably believe that there are an infinite number of numbers, since you can always add 1 to any number and make a new one.. what you may not think about as a consequence of that belief is that you can also start with 2, add 2, and create an infinite series of even numbers.

the set of even numbers is infinite, and the set of whole numbers (which would fully encompass the even numbers) is also infinite.

so which set is bigger?

BLOOD ISSUE=PROBLEM=CAN HOSPITAL BE SUED?

Hi friends,

A good "fader" friend of mines wife was recently at the hospital. She used to be a staunch witness but has since gotten fed up with the whole charade. She told the Dr. that she is a witness, and the Dr. asked about blood. She said that if her life was in danger she would take it. They made her sign something that said as much. Anyway, wouldn't you know it, one of her nurses is a witness, and knew that she was one as well. The nurse checked her records, and saw that she had signed the statement. The nurse then came into her room and said "Did you know that you signed a statement stating you WOULD accept a blood transfusion?" She lied and said that she was signing so many papers when she got in that she must have made a mistake by signing it, and that it certainly wasn't her intention to do so. The nurse scolded her and told her how that could have created a huge problem for her, and the 'patient' said she would have to take care of it. That seemed to satisfy the witness nurse, but the patient is now very worried that this nurse will tell the elders about this situation.

My question is; can these friends of mine sue the hospital if this nurse tells on her to the elders? The woman never signed anything to the effect of allowing information to be shared with ANYBODY. Not the liasion committee or any other witnesses. What do you think can occur with this situation? This is in the U.S. Anyway, I, and my friends would appreciate any input on this.

Thanks,

Jack.

"We are the only religion on earth that can claim to be unhypocritical."

by Bonnie_Clyde in

those are the exact words of the po's wife today at the wt study.

i wrote them down as she said them.

the next comment by one of the servants was, "if we accept the authority of the faithful and discreet slave, we cannot go wrong.

unconditional love

by John Doe in

jw
friends

i'm rather sick of hearing the term "unconditional love.

" there is no such thing.

love must be earned--it is not something given with no strings attached.

jack w

I don't think all love is ephemeral. I have loved my mom all my life.

Rex and all,

It's not that I want just anyone, I am really in love/infatuation with this ONE girl. There are a lot of variables involved. I guess I just have to either let it go, or go for it. I'm in a quandry. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

Apostates and Slacker Dubs Commit the Unforgivable Sin

by gumby in

if your not too rusty with dub teachings, you remember that to commit the unforgivable sin, you had to deny the holy spirits begetting you.

it would be like one of the annointed purposely saying................ "i don't want to worship jehovah anymore nor have any part of him or his son inspite of the fact he annointed me".. in christendom, it is likewise a denial of the spirit when you know it's for real.

!...one day freddy franz got so pissed at apostates and slacker dubs, he decided he was gonna write a watchtower article and kick some major ass!

He wasn't a cute little rascal(I know you were being facetious(sp.) he was an evil bastard, and if anyone was going to hell it was him.
