changed my mind about posting this....sorry!

DA! Now I know why they have publisher cards

by beautifulisfree in

can you believe all this time i didn't know why the the secretary kept 'publisher cards'.

but, i just figured it out!!.

when the big a finally hits all 'jehovah' has to do is grab the publishers records (of course while throwing bolts of lighting down at worldly people and apostates), it's like he has his own little 'book of life' !!

Of course though I think he will make exceptions to those who get under 10 hours a month and destroy those weak little dubs?

Oh god this stinks

.

my son just informed me that his grandfather left him and his brother, (his only grandsons) , money for their education.. i had no idea, of the amount but it did make sense to me...a suposed $50,000.00 but the will was on a small personal computer and promptly erased by someone in my mom's kh at her request.. she has in the mean time shunned me, and low and behold sent $200,000.00 to the society.

this tires me beyond belief.. thanks for listneing....i am feeling crazy!.

beautifulisfree

Wow! That does stink. It's sooo crazy just to think of all the time and money we gave to the society over our lifetime. But, then to have someone go and just write a BIG check out to the society while your children could have used it for education really sucks!! I guess getting into paradise is more important to your mom then other things llike her family. Sorry

The Gentiles Times Reconsidered--Again but this Time By Using the Bible

by thirdwitness in

think about this: if seven times mean only 7 years then daniel could have simply said 7 years.

why does daniel specifically use the word 'times' rather than years?

as we have already shown daniel used the word for 7 times instead of 7 years.

beautifulisfree

OOOh 3rdwitness I saw that you resurrected your own thread. It's great of you to be a witness..thats fine. If you choose to ignore facts about your religion thats fine too. However, the majority of us have investigated the Jdubs in and out uo and down and opened our eyes so that we could see the truth. I don't know why you thinnk you can 'save' anyone of us apostates...we see the light and are not going back to your darkness!! Maybe your time would be better spent studing for the meetings or out in field service??

I thought Babylon the Great had fallen

by beautifulisfree in

i swear the wtbs used to teach that 'babylon the great' had already fallen?

and that 'false religion' was drying up?

is this what the society is 'correcting in their book?

beautifulisfree

I swear the WTBS used to teach that 'Babylon the Great' had already fallen? And that 'false religion' was drying up? Is this what the society is 'correcting in their book? That it has not yet fallen...but anyday now it will be. I am so confused. How could current Jdubs not be?

So by 1919 Babylon the Great had fallen, opening the way for God’s people to be released and restored, in one day as it were, to their land of spiritual prosperity. (Isaiah 66:8) By that year, Jehovah God and Jesus Christ, the Greater Darius and the Greater Cyrus, had maneuvered matters so that false religion could no longer keep a hold on Jehovah’s people. No more could it prevent them from serving Jehovah and making known to all who might hear that harlotlike Babylon the Great is doomed and the vindication of Jehovah’s sovereignty is at hand!—Isaiah 45:1-4; Daniel 5:30, 31.

How do you answer this question??

by LuciousJ in

jw
friends

ok, i'm now da'd as many of you already know.

it's so fresh that my stomach turns everytime the subject comes up about religion.

however, something that does puzzle me a bit.......is how do you answer people when they ask you the question "what religion are you?

beautifulisfree

If anyone asked me what religion I was when I was a witness I would say that I was a christian I was to embarrased to tell the truth..But, now if anyone asked I would tell them that I was raised in a cult and I now just believe in being a good person and I don't need a religion to have a relationship with God...If people aren't satisfied with that answer or judge me based on that answer Oh well....I don't care if someone thinks you NEED a religion!

He says use the rod?

by beautifulisfree in

has your child raising or discipline tatics changed since your out of the borg?

i always thought that i would use spanking as a discipline.

since supposedly the bible encourages it.

I always thought that I would use spanking as a discipline. Since supposedly the bible encourages it. And although I don't have children yet....I think my view on 'spanking' has changed. I think the WTBS encourages parents to spank their children as just another fear tactic? ( I got plenty of spankings because I wouldn't sit still at the meetings or for just doing things that kids are supposed to do!! ) I want to be a good mom one day and just would like others thought on this...about things that work and things that don't. Thanks, beautifulisfree

What is the JW View of Clowning :o)??

(i threw this into the "jw view of cloning" thread yesterday, and thought maybe a few would like to have some fun with it so i gave it its own thread.

there was this comment in a letter to the body of elders about clowning in march 2003:

"as to the matter of clowning, we can see from phil.

beautifulisfree

WOW! That surprises me...I would of thought that they would encourage clowning. I have seen alot of clowns all get into one small car..it would be GREAT for service. All you would have to do is make one car group on Sat morning. Hey, it would save gas!
