  Truth

  by EternalLife in

  2. beliefs

  if those people are of some positive energy, they will see the light.

  that is their free will choice.

  as part of our ministry to those that oppose the truth, we point out that a humble heart is the only thing that saves anyone.

  Go back to the Kingdom Hall platform where you belong and all the brain dead drones in the audience will lap up your drivel I'm sure.

  The point is, we're all very happy to be here.
  
  More importantly, why the hell are you here?
  
  A troll no doubt!

  Curiosity dictates a question like this...

  have any of you out there ever taken the "opposite route" and studied paganism or wicca?.

  i know of some that practice that.

  but i've been thinking about what a strange irony that would be, right?

  Veil Wearing Moslems v Cross Wearing Christians

  by Clam in

  1. social
  2. current

  things are getting nuttier here in the so called "united" kingdom.

  we now have a female moslem classroom assistant who has been suspended from her place of work because she insists on wearing a veil in class.

  bizarrely she works in a church of england school and at the interview wore no veil while being interveiwed by a man.

  May I say that I would not be allowed to wear a cross around my neck for work. In fact I'm not allowed to wear any jewelry except for a watch, wedding band and stud earrings. It's not a problem for me or any of my colleagues because we understand that we look far more professional this way.

  I found your post quite confusing. Did you friend get df'd for noticing subliminal images in WBTS art? That can't be all surely?

  Confessions to Elders

  by megsmomma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading the masterbation thread and it reminded me of my experience....it is sooo embarrasing!

  when i was 13, my jw friend and i dicussed this topic.

  we both admitted that we had the "m" problem...and we tried to help eachother with it by checking up on eachother...."hi....how are you doing with your "m" problem?.......not so good....did it last night....me too....." so we decided we needed to talk to the elders about it and on a thurday night we both asked to meet with them.

  When I was 18 my best friend who was raised a jw but was never baptised, confided in me that she had become pregnant and subsequently had an abortion.
  
  The elders knew I knew something, so 3 of them came round to my house and gave me the third degree. I told them everything because I wanted to be a good jw and thought I would be as guilty as her if I didn't reveal what I knew.
  
  I felt like shit. They disassociated her and she went through hell with her family because they had no idea about the pregnancy. I lost someone who I'd been friends with for 7 years. I still feel so bad for what I did to her, betraying her confidence.
  
  This is one of the many reasons I hate the org.

  I never had a specific age in mind, maybe it's because deep down I thought it would never come!
