PRICELESS!!!!!
I blew snotcicles all over the monitor.
Keep em comin' buddy.
i've recently begun challenging my beliefs.
all my beliefs, including those ingrained in me as one raised "in the truth".. a few years ago i sought therapy for chronic depression and my treatment was remarkably successful.
as a side effect, things that used to "work" for me no longer fit with the new emotional pathways and strengths i was developing.
Welcome.
I was out of the borg for more than 20 years when I found JWD, and was shocked to read stories that "were" my own.
You will find a lot of support and frienship here.
Once again...WELCOME.
page 26 - "those who will form the nucleus of the 'new earth,' a new earthly society of rightly disposed people are being gathered during these last days.
they are already nearly seven million strong, in at least 235 lands and in some 100,000 congregations.
these millions have been learning the righteous and just ways of jehovah, and as a result, worldwide they enjoy a unity that is cemented by christian love.
I have a comment too...but first I need to go puke.
Damn cult.
here's what will happen to jehovah's witnesses as they roll right past 2014: they will become increasingly like the religious group that influenced charles russell: the christadelphians who started around 1830-1840 and who have many basic doctrines in common with the witnesses.
the christadelphians were once an outspoken, vibrant, edgy "christian" group who spread their urgent end-times message far and wide.
they grew exponetially in the latter half of the nineteenth century, but their heyday is long past.
who will not go out with a bang
I sure hope your wrong...I have been waiting a long time for that explosion.
hello folks.
a loaded question for sure.
after being out of the org.
I just ignore them the same as they ignore me. Works perfectly.
When I was in, my room-mate drank himself into a coma almost every night.
ok, this weekend i had a jw at my door and i sincerely gave a anti-wintess to him during which i did tell him i feel closer to jehovah than i ever have and i still believe in jehovah, just not the society.
my husband thinks i should have said "the lord" or "god" instead, because he thinks it sounds like i was being hypicritical in a way.. my take is that to sound like i knew what i was talking about, and to lessen the likliness of him turning his ears off right away, i should talk in a way he is comfortable with.. hubby thinks it is more beneficial to show you are free from their wording and say what you mean from your learning that jehovah is not god's only true name.. .
what do you say when talking to them if you get the chance?.
I understand your reasoning, but sorry, I'm with your hubby on this one.
More than welcome my dear.
ok well haven't seen crumpet round here and i just checked facebook.. apparently our friend is not feeling too swell.. has anyone heard from her?
.
((((((((((((((((((((nina)))))))))))))))))))))).
Our sweetie posted on the "vibrator" thread, (much to my surprise, hehe) but I was wondering the same thing.....
Let us all know how you are doing. WE MISS YOU.....OK, I DO.
why do i post here, i havent been to a meeting regularly for almost 16 years, last time i attended memorial i was 14, my wife and i are roman catholic, all my close friends are not jws.
so why do i feel the need to post on here if all that is in my life is so far away from the kingdumb hall?
these are questions often asked to me by some of my friends and sometimes even my wife, they say well you left that behind years ago, that is true, however most of my family on my mothers side are still jws, i still deal with what i went through going up in the org, being able to share that with other people who also had similar experience is great.
hahaha...Good point..would an orphan in the Philippines count?
