Mrs jones, that is the funniest, and most disturbing photo i have seen in some time.
Now it's going to be burned into my head for the rest of the day.
Thanks a bunch.
religious christendom's heavy blood guilt!.
to pair the word hate with christian, would really be foriegn to the hearer of that combination of words, wouldn't it?
that would certainly be nothing the founder of christianity would be guilty of, would it?

given that the god of the old testament & the new testament don't seem to match up, and our first impression of god may be based on our parents, and the many progressive christian religions that stress god's love and grace, we probably all have completely different ideas of who god is; if he/she does exist.
i always thought god was a strict, bad-tempered kill-joy..
God is a concept made up by humans for three reasons
1 to explain what they could not.
2 to control others
3 everyone loves the idea that someone bigger and more powerful then all your enemies has got your back.
just wanted to say...this place has been so good for me...i log on now every day and i find the people here are so kind and caring and funny...i really needed this more than i realised...so thank you all for accepting me on board without any 'conditions' ...its the best...thank you...it helps so much..... loz x.
I love this place.
And I value all of the posters, even the ones that piss me off, they teach me a lot about myself.
And when your raised a JW, you have no self.
So when you exit, you have to go out and find it.
Thank you all
i have always wondered what jws do if they get pregnant with a girl.
do they abort the fetus like the government tells them to do?
or does the society forbid married couples in china to have sex?
Yep, all those chinese males will have to find brides elseware.
I wonder if, in a gereation or two, when native females are quite rare, they will begin to value women more.
on projo.com there's an update on utopian reformists' (mario)'s ex-wife, who was declared mentally insane and committed to a mental facility as she was unfit to stand trial by reason of insanity.
she had set fire to her home, and tried to kill her two daughters in that fire, succeeding in one being lost.. i will try to put the link or page in this post.
if not, perhaps someone who is better at this than i am, could post the link for the older members to see, who knew of this story.
Thanks for posting this, I think of Mario and his surviving daughter often, and wonder how they are coping.
What he and his children went through is almost beyond belief.
Sadly, it looks like Mom has Marina convinced that she doesn't need meds. And if I remember correctly, Moms witness family was not supportive of treatment and meds too.
my son got suspended from school for fighting.
not just fighting but choking another boy during their fight.
he started it in anger over something the other boy did, but none of that actually matters.
I'm sorry your going through this Tec.
Nothing hurts more then seeing your child in pain.
It sounds like your taking a very positive action, I wish you the best.
he see's even "the embryo of us"..."and all it's parts are down in writting.." according to the bible.
yet he will destroy millions of kids and babies because their "worldly" parents closed the door on a witness one busy saturday morning..
contradiction????
The christians on this board will defend gods right to kill who he chooses.
They defend god sending his people to wipe out whole communities, butchering whole families but keeping the virgin girls for themselves.
They don't call it rape and they don't call it murder, it's just more of gods mysterious ways that us mere humans can't comprehend.
because in my experiance it was once in a blue moon!
even if we did ask/ suggest for money.
most of the contributions put in the box were out of the jw's own pocket.
once it became a donation basis, I quit asking for money.
I hate it when someone gives me something, and then asks for a "donation".
I will not do that.
i am considering getting couples counseling for the jw boyfriend and i. he's open to it.
he got help himself for an issue recently, but it was in the short term, and it went well for him.
i want to know if we started going regularly, and his mentor got wind of it, what are the jw views on mental health help?
My ex and I went in for couples couseling for eight years.
We knew better then to tell any dub friends about it.
Better to don't ask, don't tell.
BTW, a couselor telling a JW, that they are in a cult, will mean exactly jack shit to a dub.
No, I take that back, they will see it as persecution and love it
Hell of a buying opportunity
That's what hurts the most, I didn't have any extra cash.
Some of the prices were painful to see and not buy.
