  Also, the Christian guy knows I am studying with JWs and doesn't mind at all.

  Jesus as a Mediator

  by I-follow-the-narrow-path in

  2. bible

  i know that jesus is a mediator... it is written in the bible.

  i have never heard the jws tell me that he wasn't.

  it is written in my bible (in the jw bible), so if they do deny that jesus is a mediator-- .

  then why is it written that he is? I don't want to argue at all, because I am just really confused. No JW told me that Jesus was, nor was not a Mediator.
  If they think he is not though... what do they say about the bible verse which proves it IN THEIR BIBLE?
  I mean... why would they deny something in their own bible?

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if it was proven that jesus, in fact, has a bloodline.

  what do you think this will do to religions?

  and is it at all possible to prove that mary magdalene and jesus had an intimate relationship?

  Changing

  Verse 1:

  I can’t see them hurting me….. suffocating how can that be

  I try to be like them, but people tell me they mislead

  How could it end like this… honestly, how can it end in such torture

  I should listen, but I am held back

  My neck is broken from invisible attacks

  The butterfly is beautiful, am I being deceived?

  Why do I waste my time and keep asking?

  Chorus:

  I don’t want to run away, but I can’t fight you off

  I don’t want to start to pray, for I might get lost

  In the lies that they tell, am I praying for truth here

  In the lies that they tell, how can I be so blind

  am I blind?

  Verse 2:

  I can’t escape this anxiety, I’m not in too deep

  Still I’m drowning

  Why do I beg for your hand to show me

  When I refuse to listen, I was cruel and didn’t want to see

  I am changing- this isn’t me

  Verse 3:

  I’m so perfect, I lie to you

  I am not listening, but I cry to you

  How can I be so selfish, I understand that you hate me

  How can I be so demanding and not take your hand you give out

  Am I drowning, demanding the help?

  Am I drowning, not taking the help?

  I make you think you’re so unimportant,

  But really it’s me and I abhor it

  Chorus:

  I don’t want to run away, but I can’t fight them off

  I don’t want to start to pray, for I might get lost

  In the lies that they tell, am I praying for truth here

  In the lies that they tell, how can I be so blind

  am I blind?

  I can’t see them hurting me….. suffocating how can that be

  I try to be like them, but people tell me they mislead

  How could it end like this… honestly

  WHY would people do that to you? :( I mean... how did they even know you were a witness...?
  I can not believe you actually lived through stuff like that... I would have broken down crying and confused. I hope you are okay with your wife now... I am glad she didn't get scared by your parents :)

  So why all the guilt over sex???

  by Satans little helper in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was reading a post on here recently from some young guy who was never a witness but wanted some advice about a romantic situation and what struck me was his real guilt trip about sex, porn and masturbation.. .

  what is the reason for attaching so much guilt to sex?

  is it because we attach emotion to the closness of our sexual relationships?

  Double Standards?

  by OpenFireGlass in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  talk about a dysfunctional family life.... did anyone else experience growing up in a dub family that had a double standard for siblings?.

  my younger sister was allowed too: have new kids on the block posters on her wall, as well as gotten taken to a nkotb concert... have & play a keyboard.

  pick her own music, & have a boom box in her room.

  My mother started preaching on me today...

  by digglina in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mother has just been preaching to me for over an hour (the usual circular reasonging: i have the truth - if i have the truth they will oppose me - they oppose me - so i have the truth...).

  the one point she seems to have is the thought that god has a people to serve him.

  the bible does speek of him using individuals, but most of the time he also has a special people.

  You should be apart of religion (God or not) if you really don't want to. Don't let anyone force you into believing, believe in yourself (hmmm... I should say that to myself everyday now)

  Witnessing at school

  by I-follow-the-narrow-path in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was in class and by these two women (one who was a christian and the other student i am unsure of).

  i asked them, randomly, "do you know much about jehovah's witnesses?

  " -- they both said "yes" and the non-christian said "i had a jw friend and he really hated it... he disaproved of what they taught" -- i started to talk about shunning and disfellowship.

  thanks 'hellrider'I can understand you care.
  I guess... I really need to talk to someone... not my parents, JWs, ex-JWs, but a conselor or something
  I am pretty stressed right now... with graduation, pressure from JW teacher, friends-- sorry, I know it matters none.
  Sorry... I talk to much about myself and I shouldn't. PLEASE (not saying you hellrider) do not reply to my post, if you wish to personally attack me.
  BTW, Someone asked me something and I question the JWs on this too. If Jesus DID, infact, die on a cross then why does it say that there were nails used, but only one nail is shown on the picture. I couldn't figure that out... I am starting to question now (but that is good)
