Hi, I once married a JW-sister (i divorced when I df-ed myself and she did not follow) she was 19 years older. After all, she was nice (when I still was a JW), but believe me, when she's say 55-60 years, she's not interested so much as the 30 year younger man in having a sexual relation. And he should know before he marries her, if she's willing to 'compensate' that in some ways. This would cause problems.

I just came from my elder's meeting
by BonaFide injust to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.
so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.
i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.

Hi,
Know this. Either stick to the watchtower rules, or leave.
There rules: There are according to the 'elder-book' three levels of bad behavior.
- flirting (eg) while you don't want to marry a sister, is bad behavior
- kissing and touching any of the three parts of her, or she with your 'part' is sexual uncleaness.
- touching and causing an orgasm, with the other part -is- porneia for which you can be excommunicated.So, if you don't like to be married, and take responsability for flirting and more, accept that those JW-sisters, will cause havoc.
Second, I'd not stay with this cult for a second.
Leave them rotting, they don't want help, except from the governing body. It is a part of 'babylon the great' that punishes her own members with plagues (for instance, sisters that won't have a child, cannot marry, but die and burn of desire, to be married and have a family).
Consider this, take responsability for your life, don't stand in two countries, -watchtower land- or -your land, that you can create-
if you don't you'll get hurt a lot more.

Luke 21:8
He said, ‘Watch out so you aren’t misled, for many will come in my name saying I am he, and The time has come; but don’t follow them.
Hey Friends, I think that _when_ the end really is near, JW's all will be asleep! They don't know anything, they go astray on the sayings of the GB (we'll watch over you!).
I saw things that made me suspicious, starting with 9/11.
If 'that' were no new identity of the 'king of the north' I wouldn't know. (Currently, I don't think the north-south Daniel controverse, is not important to us today).But what's happening now? Well, this: Everyone is being spied at. Soon our identity will be internationally electronically linked and connected. There are new weapon types, that look like calling fire from heaven causing huge earthquakes, all in name of the anti-terrorism-war. However, these weapons are secret, and not used by any official political nation, but they are used by 'hidden' kings.
There have been built 800 concentration camps (there are photo's available) in the USA. Oooh, no camps, just paintball centers... Just watch carefully and be prepared. The world is not ruled by the ones we choose.

WTS contradicts themselves on Light
by still_in74 inhey all, i posted this in another thread but thought it deserved its own.. here is a perfect example of the blatant disregard wt writers show towards previously written articles.
they just write what sounds good at the time without considering the fact that they just might be actually contradicting themselves.. so here it is:.
flip-flop alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

If that about inspiration and central 'theocratic government' all were true, the first century had a 'GB' and Paul was subordinate to the apostles in Jerusalem :)
However, his own letter to Galatians strongly suggests otherwise!
1:15 But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even] from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
2:6 But from those who were reputed to be somewhat (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth not man's person)-- they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me:
So, to the GB guidelines, is anyone who does not _first_ be in line with the GB, an apostate. Paul must have been an apostate then :).

Hi withman,
There have been attempts by several to sum the number of 'annointed' including the first century. It sums up to waaaay above 200.000.
Secondly consider this 'formula'
[symbol number] + [symbolic number] = [literal number]
Makes sense?
Well, it does for the WTS.They claim that the 12 tribes, mentioned in Revelation 14, are symbolic, and the number of 12.000 must not be taken literal as well, but 12 times the 12.000 is magically a literal number.

How do JW's react when learning that Jehovah is not part of Christianity?
by oompa injehovah this, jehovah that......6 times per page in the old testament.
but oh how few jw's know that the name jehovah does not even appear in the christian greek scriptures....or new testatment as i prefer.
i used to be so proud of our real bible, the nwt for restoring the divine name thousands of times in the ot.

Sorry to spoil it. :) The Peshitta, is the original NT, not the Greek bible. The Peshitta does contain Gods name in the form of "Mar-Jah" (Lord Jah) and Jesus is referted to be titled Jah (in Acts) and true, when the OT is citated, 'Jah' is used and sometimes, the non-OT-text just uses that name. However, the WTS never used the peshitta as their source. They used the 'best-guess' method (except for Matthew) more about Aramaic, the original language of Jesus http://www.aramaicpeshitta.com

How do angels and demons influence mankind?
by onacruse inwts publications, and indeed virtually all religions on this planet, assert that angels and demons have regular influence on mankind, on individual human beings as well as on the general course of human events.. but i've never read anything specific about how they supposedly accomplish this.. do they tweak our neurons?
do they fiddle with our hormones, thereby making us feel good or bad about a certain course of action?
do they inject thoughts into our brains, perhaps in such a subtle way that we think those are our own thoughts?

Hello All,
I like watching films, thrillers. One of them showed a psycho who wanted to be a normal person near people in the 'normal world', he went crazy for some reason in his youth, but nobody could see to his face, he was dangerous.
So He started to be a serial killer. This film was based upon a true story. He loved to trick young women into his car, made love (or raped her) then cut the troat. The interviewer asked what he felt. He felt a great sensation of power. Indeed, human can be addicted to power. If they mean zero, nothing, killing is a way to have absolute power over life and death!
When he left the rotting body somewhere near a river, he came back regularry and masturbated near the rotten victims because he felt it again.
Now back to the demons. I think they are 'spirtually' sick. They are made like us, but they are spirits. They feel power by misabusing humans and they love to come back at old victims. For the last thing I remember a documentary at Discovery about a haunted house :)
We have a lot in common with angels. :)
Cheers all.
