  I Still Get the Feeling I'm Doing Something Wrong. Ever Get That?

  by cognac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just about everyone i've known my whole life thinks somethings wrong with me because of my "abnormal thinking".

  everyone is in agreement that there is something wrong with me.. i just keeping thinking i'm doing something wrong or i should be doing something different.

  i don't feeling terrible about it or anything, just this nagging thing in me.

  AA..Ding Dong round 2

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have posted on here previously about my problems with alcoholism and the fact that i have attended aa meetings so i thought i would start a thread to post where i am at now.. i first attended at the beginning of january and went 7 weeks without a drink, i then had a weekend away and got drunk.

  i then went another 7 weeks until my birthday (april 19).

  since then i have felt that i could control my drinking within the confines of a local program.. this however hasn't really worked for me, i find that i do not really enjoy going out drinking and trying to pace myself.

  Questions concerning 607

  by beavis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am sorry to hash and rehash this old topic, but i have a friend that has continually asked the wt's chronology of 607 and that historians do not agree with their thoughts on their selection of this date to "fit" their ideaolgies.

  could someone give me information from credible historians that absolutely prove that 607 is impossible?

  this person has looked up information and what they have found so far is that most websites or some persons on this site do not show conclusively that 607 is not credible.

  Jehovahs Witness Discussion Forum > Bible Research & Study Articles > 586/587 the K.I.S.S. approach --- no VAT4956, Ptolemy, Josephus needed

  Check this thread out, the KISS (keep it simple) approach.

  Hey Didg, may I ask what you drink or drank?

  Of course you may. Lager, normally when i am out, wine usually for home.

  Also, because they have different moral standards to yourself doesn't mean that you should interfere. Sounds like a witness reporting a wrongdoing. You don't know the full facts, you don't know if she is guilty of anything, there are kids involved. I would stay well clear, if you wanted to report everyone who has an affair then you're going to be very busy for the rest of your life.

  I would leave it alone, unless both of them are close friends, but you say she is not. Getting involved in other people's matters always comes back to bite you on the ass. He may lie his way out of it anyway and then you're the one with egg on your face, made to look bad and everyone hates you. I have seen this happen many times, so for me if i know something and i am not that close to them i tend to stay well clear of other people's business.

  Thinking of this i know of a guy who reported his two co-workers to the wife. He ended up having his house and car smashed in and eventually moved out. Think of yourself.

  That guy's amazing. Those other links show what a range he has with his voice. Particularly liked Boyz to men and Mariah Carey.

  Cross is a pagan symbol, watchtower is a pagan symbol too

  by Noelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you all jehovah witnesses that said jesus didn't die on a cross but on a stake your wrong because the romans were pagans and what better way to crucify someone than on a pagan symbol.

  i have a fact that you need to listen to as well, the watchtower which you symbolize is a pagan symbol as well.

  oh no how can that be you ask, well let me tell you.. in ceremonial magic and some traditions of wicca and neopaganism, the four cardinal points are believed to have spiritual guardians called watchtowers.

  Not only did she not research the site well enough she didnt research her material well at all though - she just cut and pasted from Wiki and didnt cite it - bit dishonest if you ask me!

  I never even noticed that, lol. I take back what i said about researching well.

  Thanks DJK, but it's impossible for me to watch friends drinking and for me not too. It's kind of like sending a toddler into a sweet shop with no money. So it has to be your first suggestion, at least till i feel strong enough for a night out without a drink. In the mean time there are other ways of socialising without a drink, this is something i have learned during my first few weeks.

  It's very different over here than to other cultures. Friday and Saturday nights are all about going out and getting bladdered.
