  Sex at 14?

  by headisspinning in

  hello all.... some of you have been following our story from the beginning - and even those of you who haven't should be able to relate to my quandary.... last week my 14 year old son told me he no longer wants to be a jw.

  we laboured over telling his jw dad all week.

  well, on friday night he finally came clean.. but in a bizarre and unexpected twist, after having sex with his girlfriend for the very first time - in his father's home that very afternoon.

  I think it is important to ask him why he choose to have sex .

  It's in his DNA. He is hardwired to propagate his genes. His sex organs have matured and nature wants to get on with it.

  The Great Day of Jehovah - the War to End All Wars

  by sabastious in

  for most of my life i was taught that everything we experience in our lives is a build up to the great day of jehovah: armageddon.

  i was informed, regularly, that this war would be when jehovah finally gets his vengeance from his advasary the devil.

  as jehovah's witnesses were were taught that war is the solution, so long as the kingdom set up afterwards is eternally prosperous.

  thetrueone, wow, that "From House to House Samba" over the closing credits was dope! I'd pay good money to get all the old "Singing And Accompanying Yourselves..." songs in samba on vinyl.

  Speaking of "Accompanying Yourselves," that's a great euphemism for "self-abuse."

  Concerned parent: Little Johnny, what have you been doing up in your room by yourself all day with the door locked?

  Little Johnny: Ummm... accompanying myself, that's all.

  I never believed I would survive Armageddon. Just being human was sin enough. ... My terror was real.

  I don't get this...Jesus' birth and death

  by poopsiecakes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  forgive me if this topic has been raised before - and i'm still working it out in my head so bear with me.... conventional religions, including jw's, teach that jesus was 30 when he was baptized and began his ministry which lasted 3 years.

  the year of jesus' death is said to be ad 33, which would make him 33. and that's what i've always understood.... even the wt of april 2011 says that according to 'modern calculations' the year of his birth is thought to be 2 bc and wikipedia says possibly as far back as 7 bc.

  i've never heard anyone argue the fact that there's no way these dates add up.

  4th grade. I moved to a new school right before the school year started. They didn't have room in the "normal" class, so I got assigned to the "specail needs" class (it took me years to figure this out!). It was like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

  if you could describe the jehovah's witnesses, in a sentence (no run-ons please) what would it be?.

  .

  jehovah's witnesses are mostly harmless; just don't join 'em..

  i do not know how the blogger who posted this infamous wt cover (5/15/84) got all the names of those who posed for this magazine cover, or whether the names are even correct, but if he got it right, man, what a provocative statement.. .

  It was pounded into me meeting after meeting that I was unworthy of inclusion into a group of people that I didn't like and that didn't like me. "Adios, amigos!"
