Let's face it Coaster, they are a f****d up bunch.
Nothing you do or say will change that.
Sorry.

actually did not mean to click enter.
my wife nearly left me yesterday while arguring over the nwt, and how it has so changed the text from what it really says in ancient writings, especially col. 1(other added four times) and the dozens of places where jehovah is not even a quote from the hebrew scriptures.. i am not going to change her mind.
the km question box is not going to change her mind.

we're talking about a "supreme being" who hates a lot, is violent and vindictive, fascist, any "love" is totally conditional, plays mean mind games (sacrifice your son for me)....he probably oughta be locked up!
mrs flipper
Sociopath...for damned sure.
Gotta love Blondes.
what if we held up signs outside of kingdom halls with "go to jehovahs-witness.com for more info" on them...or maybe a billboard.
something they can't ignore.. i'm fairly new at jwd, so stop me if you've heard this before.. .
They will leave when they are ready. I agree with the poster that said that they only hear what they want to.
Example, I sent the you-tube link regarding Higher Education, to my father, a hard-core dub, and his response was.....
"That is obviously a doctored apostate link. Stop sending that crap to me".
Sad.
i think i just lost another man because of the 'sex within the confines of marriage' issue.. my sister said i should wait til i have them hooked before i make it clear where i stand.. doesn't seem quite honest to me......but....i'm wondering if i'm somehow sabotaging the relationship.. .
Be up front from the get-go.
Guys appreciate it.
Good luck.
has anyone had the experience from talking to ex-jws from their home town?
it really is an eerie experience to talk to someone who knows the exact place, circumstance and lifestyle that you do.
even more so than the connectedness of places like jwd.
I have recently had the pleasure of making a few on-line friends from JWD. A few of them are from my old congregation, and am looking forward to meeting up with them in person, as soon as I get back to Canada. The others, are spread far and wide, but hope that things work out so that a meet-up will be possible.
The thing I find interesting about us nasty apostates, is just how friendly and warm most are. I have made several real friends here, and we have never met.
Strange just how wicked we all are, and yet we can form real friendships with people we have never met.
That is the true spirit of friendship....much like the version the watchquirer teaches. NOT.
or so due to health, availability of articles, and personal priorities.
after that, the format will be briefer consisting mostly of the article with fewer comments by me allowing more comments by readers/posters.. love, blondie.
Take all the time you need Blondie....we will all be waiting for your return.
Thanks for being such an inspiration to us here on JWD.
Peace.
seems a lot of people are depending on everyone else to solve their problem.
questions like who is jehovah, who is jesus, what is the truth, are some of the deep spiritual truths asked by all of us.
however, the bible is the one to turn to when questioning.
If it works for you, good.
Personally, I believe that the bible is nothing more than a collection of olf folk tales and stories.
To each their own.
Welcome to the board.
as i stated in a previous post, i often think differently.
now, i don't know if this has been discussed before, but, with reguard to 1914. let's pretend this prophecy is true.
let's pretend that satan was hurled out of heaven in 1914, and came to earth.
Like this.......
are you trying to give nvr a run for his money when it comes to bizzar topics?.
no nvr, that wasn't a challenge.....ok, maybe it was.. .
this is one celebration i look forward to even more than christmas.. the world in general has christmas, and that's fun.. but only ex-jws have non-attendance of the memorial to celebrate.
Why don't a bunch of us crash the next memorial, and bring our own wine and jesus biscuits?
